BECAUSE
I SAID SO: Diane
Keaton, Mandy Moore, Gabriel Macht, Tom Everett Scott,
Lauren Graham, Piper Perabo (Directed by Michael Lehmann; Written
by Karen Leigh Hopkins and Jessie Nelson; Universal) Life has been
a losing proposition for Daphne Wilder (Diane Keaton). Certainly
her love life has been a disaster, and she just can’t help
feeling bitter. That’s why she’s determined that her
daughter Milly (Mandy Moore) not be a chip off the maternal block.
And so she comes up with a strategy for finding the exact right
man to be her son-in-law. To read Guy Flatley's

NORBIT:
Eddie Murphy, Thandie Newton, Terry Crews,
Clifton Powell, Mighty Rasta, Cuba Gooding Jr., Eddie Griffin, Marlon
Wayans (Directed by Brian Robbins; Written by Jay Scherick, David
Ronn and Eddie Murphy; DreamWorks and Paramount) Thanks to the makeup
wizardry of Rick Baker, Eddie Murphy gets to play three roles in
this anything-goes comedy: Norbit, a bullied husband; Rasputia,
his obese bully of a wife who’s cursed with a dreadful case
of flatulence; and Mr. Wong, a man who can do nothing wight in the
Chinese westauwant he manages. Gorgeously thin Thandie Newton plays
a re-surfaced sweetheart who makes Norbit want to dump his mega-violent
missus. Now Playing
