Say Uncle is a comedy dangerously playing on the edge with the child molester's role to which missing Straysand would positively add. The outraged community screams if anything. Trailer here. Good sign or last season's revival already?

The King (by ThinkFilm, Official selection to Cannes 2005, Un Certain Regard) is an interesting pot hold together by huge performer William Hurt as the father-pastor of just-relesed-seaman Gael Garcia Bernard. The father, literally, wants nothing to do with you. Consequences are enticing. And Hurt's mumblings are a joy to go thru.

The War Tapes is being sold as very touching, very real. Following the likes of Black Hawk Down TWT is one of the most boring war document I have seen in years with a kamikaze booming every 10 minutes and the regular backlash on GWB. What new this says about Iraq or even the daily life of troops there is mystery.

Glory, Glamour and Controvery is the salt in Once in a Lifetime, the story of the NYC Cosmos, the first US soccer team. A look back into the greedy 70's and the polished face of Henry Kissinger all over the silver screen, Pele' and Giorgio Chinaglia. An enjoyable documentary detailing the US public on the surroundings of a new type of stardom, one alien and destined to implosion.

Directed by Patrick Stettner The Night Listener is a psychological thriller based on the bestselling novel by Armistead Maupin. Revolves around a celebrated writer and popular late-night radio show host, Gabriel Noone (Robin Williams), who develops an intense phone relationship with a young listener named Pete (Rory Culkin) and his adopted mother (Toni Collette). The downward spiral is driven by questions on a boy's identity and is all to enjoy in its frightening geometrical precision and progression. Another excellent performance by aging-well Robin Williams. Trailer here.

New England's smalltown's mysteries The Wicker Man is the jam Nick Cage is sticking with this time and it is not a pleasant. After the excellent Man of War Cage had so many options back in business and he nodded the worst. This is a pity of a movie, hi-res scary trailer here.

To leave on a black note The Descent is a copycat for girls only of Alien One. Being marketed as the best horror-thriller since Alien the pot is plain but generously gore, claustrophobic, with a good script and sound-effects from better-than-average hardcore porn. Bring a girlfriend.
