The Embassies have to get out and fastTar Heel 02/18/2007 
  There should have been more romantic scenes between Charleston Heston and Ava Gardner, which would have created a more entertaining movie. So, as one continues to watch the movie, it has a lovely break in the scenes between Heston and Gardner, who still had the famous beautiful, graceful form. When they are dancing together, you wish it could go on for a longer time and in many more scenes. The acting by the various actors was strong and the script was well written. I thought Paul Lukas gave us a very sensitive performance. When he was in the scenes with Ms. G., she was fantastic. Just another example of her acting abilities no matter what the role demanded. She delivered her part with absolute 4 Star talent.

Willie excels and becomes a star player, which gives the new owner of the Sharks, Christina Pagniacci (Cameron Diaz), the incentive to place pressures on D'Amato to win at any cost.

  This film–definitely for kids under the age of 10–examines the premise that there is a high-tech war being fought between cats and dogs. Unknown to humans, for years war has been raging between the animals for their places in the animal kingdom. Now, Prof. Brody (Jeff Goldblum) is working on a vaccine to erase human allergies to dogs, and a Persian cat, Mr. Tinkles (voice of Sean Hayes), is determined to stop him because Mr. Tinkles seeks world domination and realizes that the vaccine will give the edge to dogs. Mrs. Brody (Elizabeth Perkins) has found a Beagle puppy, Lou (voice of Tobey Maguire), for their son, Scott (Alexander Pollock). Now Lou is caught in the middle of the "dog vs. cat" war when Mr. Tinkles plots to kidnap the Brody family, reverse the formula, and make all humans allergic to dogs. Excellent special effects include animated faces on real animals.

  "Hamlet," the melancholy Dane, is directed by and stars Kenneth Branagh in this–indeed unique–innovative presentation of Shakespeare's classic. Branagh uses Shakespeare's entire text to uncover the layers behind the Bard of Avon's words in his play about Hamlet (Branagh) seeking revenge for his father the king's murder. Julie Christie plays Gertrude, Hamlet's mother who marries her brother-in-law Claudius (Derek Jacobi) soon after her husband's murder. His father's ghost (Brian Blessed) appears and tells Hamlet to be kind to Gertrude but to kill Claudius who had murdered him. Now, insanity takes over resulting in homicide and suicide.

The Apache Indians, led by Sierra Charriba (Michael Pate), have been raiding U.S. bases and kidnapping children, and Major Dundee decides to take on the job of capturing the raiders and rescuing the victims.

  Astronauts land on a newly discovered planet where apes rule, and humans are their servants. The space crew, led by George Taylor (Charlton Heston), trudges through a forest and finds a tribe that resembles Stone Age humans. Then, apes on horses appear clad in uniforms and start shooting, and the inarticulate, uncivilized humans scatter. The astronauts learn that the apes can walk upright and talk and are far more sophisticated that the humans. When the leader of the apes, Dr. Zaius (Maurice Evans), learns that Taylor can also talk, he orders him killed. Now, two apes–scientist Cornelius (Roddy McDowell) and Dr. Zira (Kim Hunter)–help Taylor escape and, in the process, Taylor uncovers the secret of the planet.
