Pierce Brosnan gloriously goes to seed as Julian Noble, a hard-drinking hit man who parades his ample gut around in skimpy swimsuits and uses his assassination assignments to sample the world’s brothels. Working in Mexico City, Julian buddies up with a nerdy businessman (Greg Kinnear) for some fun and games that turn serious. Actors who

This piece of fluff – about a tomboyish FBI agent (Sandra Bullock) who goes undercover at a beauty pageant – looks tempting, but be wary. Bullock performed lame pratfalls about five times in the original trailer, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. She – and we – deserve better.

The drudgery of everyday existence gets another gentle tweaking at the hands of writer-director Alexander Payne (About Schmidt). A priceless Paul Giamatti plays a neurotic English teacher and would-be novelist who takes his mismatched best friend (Thomas Haden Church) on a trip to California wine country to celebrate the friend’s impending marriage – a journey

This is the giddy and gimmicky action comedy that Wild Wild West should have been. Hong Kong sensation Jackie Chan teams up with low-key comic Owen Wilson (Bottle Rocket) for a free-spirited farce about the adventures of a Chinese Imperial Guard in the Old West.
