of movies that settle in and sprawl out at the multiplex.
Indies that intrigue, but are bound for an obscure art house.
Right between these lines, a few fine (at the very least,
fun) films play at the Sunday matinee . . .
• Amélie A perfect Parisian ensemble of
innocence and cynicism.
•
Heist
David Mamet's capable caper flick. It's not wordplay—it's
wordspar.
•
Monsters,
Inc. The exhilarating swinging door ride is what Disneyland's
Space Mountain might look like if you blast off with the lights
on. The Monster's Inc. trailer promoting Harry
Potter—sheer marketing magic.
• Ocean's Eleven Steve Soderbergh's boys will
be boys night out caper. Dapper Dan and neon glam.
•
Sidewalks
of New York Brittany Murphy is the 2001 "It Girl."
•
Zoolander
Ben Stiller puts the moue in model Derek Zoolander.
Owen Wilson's too sexy for his smirk . . .
