Director: Fernando Meirelles Stars: Ralph Fiennes, Rachel Weisz, Danny Huston (Full Cast) Studio: Focus Features The Plot: In Kenya, English diplomat Justin Quayle (Fiennes) investigates the murder of his wife (Weisz), who had recently uncovered a scandal at a pharmaceutical company. To Quayle's further dismay, she was slain alongside the man he suspected was her lover.
THE BUZZ: 8 out of 10 stars: The Constant Gardener might be a political platform for City of God director Fernando Meirelles, but he's truly made a movie for Ralph Fiennes, and it's through his character's awakening that the film transcends its source material, and its own inherent flaws. ...more Review: 8 out of 10 stars: When his activist wife Tessa (Rachel Weisz) is found brutally murdered in northern Kenya...more Message Boards: Probably been discussed before... | Probably been discussed before...

Director: Louis Leterrier Stars: Jason Statham, Amber Valletta, Kate Nauta (Full Cast) Studio: Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation The Plot: Now in Miami, former Special Agent Frank Martin (Statham) returns to his old way of handling problems when his new employers, the Billings family, are victimized by kidnappers.
THE BUZZ: 6 out of 10 stars: Jason Statham's charm, and his beefy, shock-absorbent physique, spare The Transporter 2 from sinking into Steven Seagal territory; in fact, because of the star's particularly delicious qualities, this might be the most entertaining "antidote" movie ever made. ...more Review: 6 out of 10 stars: Message Boards: Comically Bad Film | Most Ridiculous Movie Scene EVER!

Director: Peter Hyams Stars: Edward Burns, Ben Kingsley, Catherine McCormack (Full Cast) Studio: Warner Bros. Pictures The Plot: A big game hunter goes on a time-traveling safari (run by Kingsley) to bag the ultimate kill - dinosaurs. By stepping on a butterfly, he unwittingly sets off a chain reaction that will erase the existence of mankind - and it's up to a team of experts (headed by McCormack and Burns) to undo it.

Director: Marcos Siega Stars: Hugh Bonneville, Shawn Ashmore, Kelly Hu (Full Cast) Studio: Miramax Films The Plot: A young, put-upon detective's (Cannon) moment to shine arrives in the form of an undercover assignment at an elite private academy. Having no problem blending in, he discovers a stolen-car crime ring that seems to involve the school's top students. THE BUZZ: Seeming to crib from The Fast and the Furious, The Skulls and any number of other popular films, Cannon, who came up with the story idea, is obviously trying to find a formula akin to Drumline, his breakout success. And while the cast sure is pretty, and the cars will certainly run hot, The Underclassmen might just get lost amongst the fall release blahs.

THE BUZZ: It took some film festival hype (and wins) in order for Hooligans to find a U.S. distributor, but the advance reviews indicate director Alexander has created a violent and compelling (in that it can be called anti-American) drama that exposes a heretofore unseen world.

Director: Lasse Hallström Stars: Jennifer Lopez, Robert Redford, Morgan Freeman (Full Cast) Studio: Miramax Films The Plot: Faced with few options, a desperate woman (Lopez) and her daughter move in with her estranged father-in-law (Redford).
THE BUZZ: Destined to become either the rebirth of Jennifer Lopez, and/or Miramax's Cold Mountain of 2005, seeing as depending on who you talk to, Lopez is either Oscar-worthy or had her performance hacked to death in the editing room. And now with the Miramax fire sale happening, look for it to get an ignominious release as the Weinstein brothers have headed for finer pastures -- and no one will push this film as hard as Harvey would have.

Director: Mike Mills Stars: Lou Taylor Pucci, Tilda Swinton, Vincent D'Onofrio (Full Cast) Studio: Sony Pictures Classics The Plot: Justin's life is thrown into chaos when he attempts to break free from his addiction.
THE BUZZ: Director Mills has helmed a slew of music videos and designed album covers for some of indie rock's finest; accordingly, his debut film has received props for its imagery and cinematography. As for the movie itself, comparisons to Tadpole are streaming in from all over, if only for Lou Taylor Pucci's performance.

Director: Liev Schreiber Stars: Elijah Wood, Eugene Hutz, Boris Leskin (Full Cast) Studio: Warner Independent Pictures (WIP) The Plot: A young Jewish American (Wood) endeavors to find the woman who saved his grandfather during WWII in a Ukrainian village that was ultimately razed by the Nazis.
THE BUZZ: Wood, in this adaptation of Jonathan Safran Foer's acclaimed novel, returns to the type of role in which he captured our curiosity. Liev Schreiber makes his directorial debut from his script; five bucks says he gets Best Adapted Screenplay nomination. The hip press is buzzing about Hutz's performance, saying the mustachioed ringleader of punk cabaret Gogol Bordello nails the nuanced character of Alex. Fans of Foer might already know that his untitled manuscript about a boy who loses his father in the World Trade Center attacks has already been optioned (for a cool mil, by the way) by producer Scott Rudin.

THE BUZZ: While at first glance it seems indistinguishable from any number of other horror flicks this year, we're be first in line for The Reaper provided it's rated R, like Kevin Williamson (who's just producing here) and director Gillespie's last outing together, I Know What You Did Last Summer. And depending on how good The Skeleton Key is, audiences could be primed for more voodoo-themed horror. Rumor has it a reshoot went down in California this past spring; it'll be interesting to see how the locations match up.

Soon enough, more family baggage is unpacked than you could imagine.
THE BUZZ: Wow, doesn't this sound like it should have Billy Crystal written all over it? You'll also be forgiven if it sounds like a retread of the Tom Hanks-Jackie Gleason father-son dramedy Nothing in Common. What's surprising is that it's supposed to be fairly decent, thanks mainly to Reiser's screenplay (he also produced). Who knew there was life after Mad About You?

What's kind of funny is that a contest was held to name the film; alternate titles were Tricks or Treats, 10/31, and our favorite, 28 Gays Later.

THE BUZZ: Writer-director Cherot has been quiet since Hav Plenty in the late 90s, but his latest film has the makings of a niche hit -- especially with Jones and Underwood in big roles.

THE BUZZ: We bet Knoxville leapt at the chance to return to his home state to work with producer Quentin Tarantino (also a Tennesse native) and writer-director Bronson, who here makes her debut. Daltry was one of the post-Jackass roles (along with Grand Theft Parsons) that convinced us of Knoxville's savvy transition from TV to film.

THE BUZZ: Disney bucks conventional wisdom by hitting the links and going wide with director Paxton's second film. Feels more like a limited release to us, though the studio's putting most of their third quarter marketing dollars behind the picture. Reviews have been generally favorable, saying Paxton has structured a good story around both Ouimet and Vardon; Stephen Dillane reportedly steals the film, of course.

THE BUZZ: Nice to see Hoffman back in action ... Bennett Miller (The Cruise) makes his feature debut in this awards-ready drama, which got a leg up on Douglas McGrath's sound-alike project starring Toby Jones and Daniel Craig (and Sandra Bullock as Harper Lee, which we would laugh at if she wasn't so good in Crash).

Director: Carroll Ballard Stars: Alex Michaeletos, Campbell Scott, Hope Davis (Full Cast) Studio: Warner Bros. Pictures The Plot: Young Xan (Michaeletos), living a non-traditional life on his parents' ranch in Kenya, takes in an orphaned cheetah cub as a pet. Quickly, Xan and Dooms, as the cub comes to be known, become inseparable friends. Based on Cawthra Hopcraft's picture-book.
THE BUZZ: Campbell Scott and Hope Davis reunite for their second project in as many years, this time for sensitive director Ballard (Fly Away Home, The Black Stallion). In spite of discouraging test screenings, Warner Bros. is giving the film a chance, as critics have backed the family picture, a live action update of the touching book How It Was with Dooms. Ballard has been in this position before, as some 25 years ago, his Stallion was shelved by United Artists (who were mired in Heaven's Gate at the time). When producer Francis Ford Coppola took up the cause, the Stallion rode on to massive success.
