The
ball that inspired this movie
|
|
August 4
DreamWorks
Matt Damon plays a golf pro and Will Smith plays
his mystical caddy. I'd say more, but I think I've already
sold you on this one. With Charlize Theron as Ashley
Judd.
Buzz: Maximum Golf raves, "a home-run
of a film." Will Smith calls it the most daringly
black role he has ever played, except for the robot on
Small Wonder.*
Web Bonus: "Bigger and Bagger," the hit
song by Will Smith. Download
the MP3 or Buy
the CD!
*Will
Smith was not the robot on Small Wonder.

Lions Gate
That loveably Jewish mouse, Fievel Mousekewitz,
returns to face his most thrilling adventure yet—his
own bris. Escaping just in time, Fievel travels to a small
Baptist community where all the kids get second helpings
of ice cream, and foreskins can grow as big as trees.
With Billy Crudup as Fievel’s father, Jesus
H. Mousekewitz.
Best Line: "Dad, why is it called a foreskin
if I’ve only got one of them?"
Buzz: An easy ride at the box-office—no other
major Jewish-themed cartoon musicals are scheduled this
summer.
Web Bonus: At JesusSonMovie.com, fans will be able
to vote on whether it’s better to be Jewish or Christian.
Site operators will deliver the results to the President
of the United States.

Disney
If you bawled when Bambi's mother died, imagine watching
the extinction of 97 percent of life on earth.
Buzz: Look forward to another summer of sipping your
Coke out of a plastic reptile's ass.
Web Bonus: Here’s
some footage from the movie—combined with the audio
from that Budweiser ad! So you know it has to be funny,
and you will forward it to everyone you’ve ever met.

Miramax
Always the stickler for historical accuracy, Kenneth
Branagh insisted that this Shakespeare comedy be filmed
entirely with handheld cameras from the 16th century–something
he swears to have "read about in a magazine on an
airplane."
Buzz: Gorgeous scenery and strong acting, but the
film is rumored to be between 5 and 62 hours long and
to reside entirely in Kenneth Branagh’s mind.
Web Bonus: Branagh is shooting a documentary for
ifilm.com about the making of "Love’s Labour’s
Lost," using only string and dog blood.
