Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star
Ever wonder
whatever happened to Leif Garrett, Dustin Diamond, Emmanuel
Lewis, and other used-to-be-famous folks? Well, wonder
no more, because the casting director of David Spade's
Former Child Star managed to track down a motley crew of
C-list celebs for cameo appearances in this story of Dickie
Roberts (Spade), a washed-up 35-year-old ex-TV star. He
wants his childhood back and hires a foster family so he
can see what he missed. He also figures that the publicity
from that and from taking part in a celebrity boxing event
will make him famous again. Despite mixed reviews, Dickie
Roberts managed to beat out The Order — which wasn't
even screened for critics — and Jeepers Creepers
2 — fading fast — for the top spot at the box
office.
The Order
Heath Ledger plays Alex Bermier,
a New York City priest helping detective Lucy Sinclair
(Shannyn Sossamon) investigate the cryptic murder of the
French ambassador, whose body was found covered with mysterious
religious symbols. The investigation leads Bermier to Rome,
where he discovers that the murder may have been the work
of an ancient Christian order, the Sin Eaters.
Party Monster
Based on the book Disco Bloodbath,
this is the true story of Michael Alig (Macaulay Culkin),
who moved from the Midwest to New York City with his friend
James St. James (Seth Green). The two quickly became enmeshed
in the NYC club scene (and the scene's designer drugs)
and made names for themselves as party promoters until
Alig was convicted of murdering his drug dealer by injecting
him with Drano and tossing him into the East River.
Home Room
In this pulled-from-the-headlines
drama, a high-school shooting in a small town leaves nine
dead and one girl, the popular Deanna (Erika Christensen),
injured. In the aftermath, a detective (Victor Garber)
searches for a suspect; his attention centers on Alicia
(Busy Phillips), a rebellious outsider who witnessed and
may have committed the crime. When the school principal
convinces Alicia to visit the still-hospitalized Deanna,
the two girls bond over the horror witnessed in home room.
But is Alicia guilty?
Zero Day
Two teenagers stage a Columbine-like
assault on their high school in this indie drama. The narrative
unfolds in video-diary format from footage left behind
by the two teens.
Taking Sides
Sides is based on the true
story of the prosecution of German symphony conductor Wilhelm
Furtwängler (Stellan Skarsgård) in post-World
War II Berlin. An American officer (Harvey Keitel) hopes
to convict Furtwängler, a man he sees as a war criminal,
but discovers that the conductor is far more involved with
his art form than with politics.
Jeepers Creepers 2
In this sequel to the
2001 original, a high-school basketball team's championship
is spoiled in the worst way when their bus breaks down.
It's really the work of that darn Creeper, who's on his
feeding frenzy and threatening to make meals out of players,
coaches, and cheerleaders, all while the cops try to track
down and kill the winged beast (good luck with that).
