OPENING

The Godfather

Francis Ford Coppola's 1972 classic returns to theater screens. See review at left. (R) At Waikiki 2

Speed 2: Cruise Control

See review at left (PG-13) At Cinerama, Enchanted Lake, Kapolei, Mililani, Pearl Highlands, Pearl West, Restaurant Row



CONTINUING

Addicted to Love

This far-fetched comedy about the darker side of love attempts the impossible task of being nasty and ingratiating at the same time. (R) At Kahala, Kailua, Kapolei, Pearl Highlands, Pearl West, Restaurant Row

Anaconda

As a scary movie "Anaconda" is no more than middling. But if you look at it as a parody, you might find it howlingly funny. (PG-13) At Kapolei, Koko Marina,

Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery

Mike Myers plays both British secret agent Austin Powers and his arch-rival Dr. Evil. The two have been in a deep freeze for 30 years and are hopelessly out of date. (PG-13) At Kahala, Kapolei, Pearl Highlands, Pearl West

Breakdown

Kurt Russell plays an average man battling malevolent strangers who have kidnapped his wife. Exhausting, terrifying movie. (R) At Kapolei

Buddy

Renee Russo decently plays a 1920s animal lover who dresses her animals in human clothing, but "Buddy" never gets into why she does so. (PG) At Kapolei, Keolu, Pearlridge, Restaurant Row

Chasing Amy

A smart, heartfelt romantic comedy/drama about girl trouble, boy trouble, and every imaginable trouble in between. (R) At Varsity

Children of the Revolution

Judy Davis stars in this loopy dark comedy as a Down Under Communist whose son may be the child of Josef Stalin himself. (R) At Varsity

Con Air

The tale of a hero who walks the thin line between good and bad, "Con Air" is an exciting flight before it crashes in an unnecessary climax-upon-a-climax. (R) At Aikahi, Kahala, Kam Drive-In, Kapolei, Keolu, Mililani, Pearl Highlands, Pearl West, Restaurant Row, Waikiki 3

The Fifth Element

High-gloss, imaginative looks and almost no story values in the tale of cab driver Bruce Willis who gets involved in a futuristic war between good and evil. (PG-13) At Kahala, Kapolei, Pearl West, Restaurant Row

Gone Fishin'

Formulaic comedy about buddies Danny Glover and Joe Pesci who reel in more than they bargained for on a fishing trip. (PG) At Enchanted Lake, Kahala, Kapolei, Nanakuli, Pearl West

Liar Liar

Jim Carrey plays a scummy lawyer forced to tell the truth for 24 hours. (PG-13) At Kahala, Kapolei, Pearlridge

The Lost World: Jurassic Park

Plot and characters are given little consideration in this "Jurassic Park" sequel, but the special effects are astounding. (PG-13) At Aikahi, Kahala, Kam Drive-In, Kapolei, Keolu, Koko Marina, Laie, Mililani, Nanakuli, Pearl Highlands, Pearlridge, Pearl West, Restaurant Row, Waikiki 1

Night Falls on Manhattan

Andy Garcia plays an assistant district attorney grappling with questions of justice and personal loyalty. (R) At Pearlridge

Trial and Error

Michael Richards plays a well-intentioned actor who poses as his buddy, an attorney (Jeff Daniels), when the lawyer is too hung over to report to court. (PG-13) At Kahala, Kailua, Kapolei, Laie, Pearl Highlands, Pearlridge, Restaurant Row
