Bewitched |
The film is not an adaptation of the
television series, but more of a homage. It is about a witch named Isabel
Bigelow (Kidman) who wants to give up magic and have a normal life, despite
her magic-loving father's (Michael
Caine) warnings that she cannot live without it. She meets a
failing movie star named Jack Wyatt (Ferrell) who wants to find an unknown
actress to play a witch — and his wife — in a TV show, a modern adaptation of
the classic TV show Bewitched, a ploy whereby the egocentric
actor can eclipse his co-star and claim the spotlight entirely. Nicole Kidman * Will
Ferrell * Shirley MacLaine |

Man of the Year |

he would be a better president than the leader who currently occupies the
White House. A grassroots campaign conducted by his legions of fans finds him
unexpectedly ushered into the Oval Office and forced to live up to his
promise. Unfortunately for Dobbs, he finds out that his surprise victory was
actually the result of a voting computer glitch and not winning the majority
vote leaves the outspoken funnyman struggling with the decision to stay the
course in the Oval Office or head back behind the microphone where he is
truly in his element. Robin Williams *

FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION |
It's about a movie called "Home for Purim," a somewhat inane
drama about a dysfunctional Jewish family living in the South during World
War II. But while the film is still in production, a reporter for an online
entertainment site drops the word --- based on a brief visit to the set --
that one of the ensemble cast performers may be an Oscar contender. It goes
on to chronicle how the Oscar buzz affects the director, additional cast
members, writers, an agent, a publicist, and the hosts from an Hollywood
entertainment-type television program. Catherine O’Hara *
