In 1898 the US government, led by Theodore Roosevelt (Tom Berenger) back when he was still a young, ambitious Naval Secretary, intervenes on the side of the Cuban rebels in their struggle against Spanish rule. Always ready for action, Roosevelt leaves the confines of the sidelines and forms a volunteer cavalry regiment which later became infamously known as the "Rough Riders." Roosevelt's regiment brings together volunteers from all corners of the nation to fight against a far superior adversary in one of the most rousing victories in American history.

<I>Cast Away</I> is a good movie that wants to be much better. While director Robert Zemeckis's earlier film <I>Contact</I> achieved a kind of mainstream spiritual significance, <I>Cast Away</I> falls just short of that goal. That may explain why the film's most emotionally powerful scene involves the loss of an inanimate object, even as it presents a heart-rending dilemma in its very human final act.It's three movies in one, beginning when punctuality-obsessed Federal Express systems engineer Chuck Noland (Tom Hanks) departs on Christmas Eve to escort an ill-fated flight of FedEx packages. Following a mid-Pacific plane crash, movie number two chronicles Chuck's four-year survival on a remote island, totally alone save for a Wilson volleyball (aptly named "Wilson") that becomes Chuck's closest "friend." Movie number three leads up to Chuck's rescue and an awkward encounter with his ex-girlfriend Kelly (Helen Hunt, in a thankless role), for whom Chuck has seemingly risen from the grave.
It's fascinating to witness Chuck's emerging survival skills, and Hanks's remarkable physical transformation is matched by his finely tuned performance. With slow, rhythmic camera moves and brilliant use of sound, Zemeckis wisely avoids the postcard prettiness of <I>The Black Stallion</I> and <I>The Blue Lagoon</I> to emphasize the harshness of Chuck's ascetic solitude, and this stylistic restraint allows <I>Cast Away</I> to resonate more than one might expect. Even the final scene--which feels like a crowd-pleasing compromise--offers hope without shoving it down our throats. You may not feel the emotional rush that you're meant to feel, but <I>Cast Away</I> remains a respectable effort. <I>--Jeff Shannon</I>

One of Hilary Duff's most attractive qualities is that she's not a borderline anorexic like too many Hollywood starlets; she has a warm, full-bodied presence that makes her dangerously glossy prettiness accessible. Similarly, Heather Locklear--who's been an iconic plastic blonde on television for decades--is cultivating a bruised humanity as she matures. These two combine forces in <I>The Perfect Man</I>, a curious teen comedy/adult romance hybrid about a single mother named Jean (Locklear, <I>Melrose Place</I>) whose tactic for getting over a broken heart is to move to a different part of the country, uprooting her two daughters Holly and Zoe (Duff, <I>Cheaper by the Dozen</I>, and newcomer Aria Wallace) in the process. Holly, to keep her mother from falling into another desperate and doomed relationship, uses advice from a schoolfriend's uncle (Chris Noth, <I>Sex and the City</I>) to send Jean flowers and love letters from a secret admirer. Of course, sustaining this fantasy requires some wacky antics, but <I>The Perfect Man</I> balances goofiness with an emotional mother/daughter tug-of-war and has some entertaining supporting actors (including Caroline Rhea, <I>Sabrina, the Teenage Witch</I>, and Carson Kressley, <I>Queer Eye for the Straight Guy</I>). The plot, however, has holes so big that it collapses even as it unfolds. <I>--Bret Fetzer</I>Description

Holly Hamilton (Duff) is on a mission to find her single mom (Locklear) a perfect man .Even if she has to make that man up!

Domestic tensions turn intimately sinister in this pulpy potboiler, which develops a steely sense of menace. The trouble begins when Mr. and Mrs. Glass (Stellan Skarsgård, Diane Lane) are appointed legal guardianship of 16-year-old Ruby (Leelee Sobieski) and her 11-year-old brother (Trevor Morgan) after their parents are killed in a car accident. As trusted former neighbors, the Glasses welcome the orphans into their luxurious Malibu home, but the all-glass structure turns into a gilded cage when Mr. Glass's motivations are revealed to be anything but friendly. With plot-thickening roles for Bruce Dern and Kathy Baker, the film builds considerable suspense before tailspinning into absurdity, and veteran TV director Daniel Sackheim takes full advantage of his prismatic setting and Sobieski's burgeoning sex appeal. The rickety script by Wesley Strick (echoing his rehash of <I>Cape Fear</I>) eventually veers toward self-parody, at which point <I>The Glass House</I> qualifies as a high-gloss slasher pic. <I>--Jeff Shannon</I>

Bernie Mac is perfectly cast in <I>Mr. 3000</I>, a feel-good baseball comedy that capitalizes on Mac's established comedy persona. He plays Stan Ross, veteran first-baseman for the struggling Milwaukee Brewers, who quit the team during a pennant race and, nine years later, discovers that he's actually three hits short of his 3,000 career-hit claim to fame. When he attempts a comeback to correct his record, his selfish past returns to haunt him, along with a former flame (Angela Bassett, who deserves better roles) who's covering Stan's return to baseball for ESPN. It's strictly formula, but the comedy is consistently entertaining, and director Charles Stone III proves that his 2002 sleeper hit <I>Drumline</I> was no fluke, injecting observant details into a very predictable plotline. Easily recommended, <I>Mr. 3000</I> makes a good double-header with 1989's hit baseball comedy <I>Major League</I>. <I>--Jeff Shannon</I>Product Description
