"Horton Hears a Who!" - Am I the only one who thinks Jim Carrey in a Dr. Seuss movie being released in such a dead month is a bad sign? Let's see if Hollywood will continue to trample on Dr. Seuss' delightful books, after the atrocities committed to "The Grinch" and "The Cat in the Hat."

"Funny Games U.S." - Naomi Watts and Tim Roth star in this thriller about a vacationing family who are terrorized by two assailants who play physical and psychological games with them. The movie is directed by Michael Haneke ("Cache") and is a remake of his own 1997 German film of the same name.

"Drillbit Taylor" - John Hughes (yes, he of "Breakfast Club" fame) wrote the original screenplay for this comedy, which follows two high school students who hire a soldier-of-fortune to protect them. In this case, Owen Wilson plays the soldier, and the gag is that he is completely incompetent at kicking butt.

"Meet the Browns" - Tyler Perry -- that guy who made a zillion dollars and yet Hollywood still doesn't pay attention to him -- is back, this time with a comedy about a single mom who travels to Georgia for the funeral of her father, who she has never met. There, she is introduced to his family, the Browns, a wild and crazy bunch of folks.

"21" - "Inspired by true events," this tale is about six students at M.I.T. who become trained by their cunning professor (Kevin Spacey, putting out the extra sleaze factor) on the art of card counting. Before you know it, the students, who include cute little Kate Bosworth, are going to Las Vegas to take on the big card sharks.

"Run, Fat Boy, Run" - In a month full of inspired movie titles, this one takes the cake. No, it's not a biopic on musician Fatboy Slim or a new reality TV show starring that guy from the Subway ads. It's a movie directed by David Schwimmer (yes, of "Friends" television fame) and stars Simon Pegg (the funny, skinny English guy from "Shaun of the Dead" and "Hot Fuzz") who decided to run a marathon to get back his girl (Thandie Newton). Yeah, you read that right, the drop-dead gorgeous Thandie Newton. The one silver lining here is that Pegg cowrote the screenplay, so it could be very funny.

"Stop Loss" - Hey, look at that, another Iraq war drama that people will likely avoid seeing. This one is directed by Kimberly Peirce ("Boys Don't Cry") and stars Ryan Philippe as a soldier who refuses to return to Iraq after the government tells him he needs to go back for another tour.
