“She’s got an awfully big chest to be going to church.”
– Nicole Kidman, “Far and Away”

ALPS (548-5256)

· Anastasia (G) Saturday and Sunday at 3 p.m.

· Flubber (PG) Saturday and Sunday at 12:50, 5:10 and 7:20 p.m. Daily at 7:20 p.m. Son of a whore, I hate this movie. Will somebody beat it into Robin Williams’ head that he will go to hell if he keeps making crap like this, instead of focusing on efforts like “Good Will Hunting?” Atrocious. (F)

· Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (R) Daily at 9:30 p.m. Uga and Co. are finally making the rounds at the cheap seats. If you didn’t like or haven’t read the book, you’re in for a treat. If you loved it well, expect some changes. (A-)

AMC COLONIAL 18

(404-816-4262)

Showtimes are for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Shows after 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday only.

· The Apostle (PG-13) 2, 5, 7:45 and 10:15 p.m. (B+)

· As Good As It Gets (PG-13) 1:15, 4, 7 and 10 p.m. “Sell crazy somewhere else. We’re all stocked up here.” (A-)

· The Big Lebowski (R) 1:45, 5:15, 8 and 10:45 p.m. Jeff Bridges stars in the latest Coen brothers film as The Dude, a bum who’s mistaken for a millionaire. Bowling, sex and romance all play a part in this eagerly-awaited comedy, also starring Coen regulars John Turturro, John Goodman and Steve Buscemi.

· The Borrowers (PG) 1:30, 3:15 and 5:30 p.m.

· Dangerous Beauty (R) 1:30, 5, 7:30, 10 p.m. and 12:30 a.m. Catherine McCormack stars as a 16th century Venetian prostitute. And she is the best of the best. “Beauty” is a light, funny film for awhile, but its harsh ending, as well as weird “message,” dampens its impact. (C+)

· Dark City (R) 2, 5:30, 8, 10:30 p.m. and 12:45 a.m. Alex Proyas’ creepy futuristic drama is the best film of the young year. Rufus Sewell (“Dangerous Beauty”) stars as a man who gets trapped in a world where the sun never rises and nothing makes sense. William Hurt and Jennifer Connelly also star. (A-)

· Good Will Hunting (R) 2, 4:30, 7:30 and 10:15 p.m. (A)

· Hush (PG-13) 2, 5, 7:15, 9:30 p.m. and midnight. (D+)

· Kissing a Fool (R) 1, 3:15, 5:30, 7:45, 10 p.m. and midnight. “Friends” star David Schwimmer makes a terrible diversion to the big screen in this romantic comedy. In an interview with The Red and Black last year, Schwimmer’s TV co-star Courteney Cox said she sees all her cast-mate’s movies and, if she hates it, tries to pick out the good points. Geez, I hope she’s a great liar. (D+)

· Krippendorf’s Tribe (PG-13) 1:15, 3:30, 5:45, 8, 10:15 p.m. and 12:30 a.m.

· L.A. Confidential (R) 1, 5, 7:45 and 10:45 p.m. I understand there are some out there who still have not seen “Confidential.” Shame on you. Nominated for seven Oscars, this outstanding drama is everything a movie should be: funny, enthralling, suspenseful, etc. (A)

· Senseless (R) 12:30 and 7:15 p.m. (C-)

· Sphere (PG-13) 3:15, 5:15 p.m. and 12:30 a.m. (C+)

· Swept From the Sea (PG-13) 10 p.m. and 12:30 a.m.

· Titanic (PG-13) 12, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 p.m. (A)

· Twilight (R) 1, 3:15, 5:45, 8:15 10:30 p.m. and 12:30 a.m. Paul Newman, Susan Sarandon and Gene Hackman star in this lazy murder mystery with great actors but no payoff. The entire film lacks in action, suspense and drama, finally clocking in at barely 90 minutes – a waste of talent. By the way, you would be reading the full review today (instead of Monday), but we had to find a place for the damn crossword puzzle. The things I do for you people. (C-)

· U.S. Marshals (PG-13) 1, 1:45, 4, 4:45, 7, 7:45, 10, 10:45 p.m. and 12:45 a.m. The Big Dog (Tommy Lee Jones) is back and hunting another fugitive. This sequel doesn’t have an inkling of the first film’s finesse, but is still a fun time at the movies. (B)

· The Wedding Singer (PG-13) 1, 3:15, 5:30, 7:45, 10:15 p.m. and 12:30 a.m. (B)

BEECHWOOD (546-1011)

· The Apostle (PG-13) 1:40, 4:25, 7:05 and 9:45 p.m. On a talk show last week, Robert Duvall said seven extras converted to Christianity during the filming of the “revolving preachers” scene. (B+)

· The Borrowers (PG) 1:10, 3:10 and 5 p.m.

· Good Will Hunting (R) 1:45, 4:15, 7 and 9:30 p.m. Let’s have another poll, as my female friends (and some male ones) are fighting over this: Who’s hotter, Matt Damon or Ben Affleck (or Leonardo DiCaprio). And for the guys, let’s have the contest between Minnie Driver, Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Connelly and Robert Duvall. E-mail: hansolo@arches.uga.edu. (A)

· Kissing a Fool (R) 2:10 and 7:20 p.m. Kissing a filmmaker. (D+)

· L.A. Confidential (R) 7:15 and 9:50 p.m. (A)

· Senseless (R) 4:40 and 9:25 p.m. Marlon Wayans stars in this lame comedy as a college student whose senses get sharpened after an experiment. David Spade wastes his talent on this mess. (C-)

· Titanic (PG-13) 1, 1:30, 4:45, 5:15, 8:20 and 8:50 p.m. “Titanic” is one of the knock-down funniest movies of the year, with hysterical joke after joke! I mean, when those old people were huddled up on that bed while the water rushed around them: I could hardly keep from exploding with laughter! And when Leonardo DiCaprio said, “St-st-st-st-st-st-stay a-a-a-a–alive, R-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-Rose!” Hysterical! And that great part with the dead bodies in the freezing water! Hilarious! (A)

· Twilight (R) 2, 4:30, 7:25 and 9:40 p.m. Sorry, I should be shot for that “Titanic” entry. But if you’re really upset right now, realize you’re confusing a movie with the actual tragedy. Your life will be longer if you loosen up. (C-)

· U.S. Marshals (PG-13) 1:20, 4:20, 7:10 and 9:55 p.m. Fellow staff writer Shawn Durham and I have noticed Wesley Snipes, the star of “U.S. Marshals” and, um, “Jungle Fever,” has had an interracial relationship in nearly every one of his films recently. In “Drop Zone,” his love interest was white. In “Money Train,” she was Hispanic. In “Murder at 1600,” she was white. In “One Night Stand,” he had an Asian wife and a white mistress. And in “U.S. Marshals,” she’s white. Not that there’s anything wrong with that (unless you’re a black actress). (B)

COMMERCE DRIVE-IN (335-2486)

Shows start at 8 p.m. Friday through Sunday and 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday.

· Good Will Hunting (R) (A)

· The Wedding Singer (PG-13) (B)

GEORGIA SQUARE 4 (INSIDE) (543-1632)

· As Good as It Gets (PG-13) 1:30, 4:15, 7 and 9:40 p.m. (A-)

· The Big Lebowski (R) 1:40, 4:05, 7:10 and 9:35 p.m. The Coen brothers, the duo responsible for “Fargo,” “Raising Arizona” and “Barton Fink,” return with this ode to bowling. Should be fun.

· Great Expectations (R) 1:45, 4, 7:15 and 9:30 p.m. (C)

· Sphere (PG-13) 1:35, 4:10, 7:05 and 9:45 p.m. (C+)

GEORGIA SQUARE 5 (OUTSIDE) (548-9460)

· Caught Up (R) 2:35, 4:40, 7:15 and 9:20 p.m. Bokeem Woodbine and LL Cool J star in this gritty boy-in-the-hood drama.

· Dark City (R) 2:40, 4:45, 7:10 and 9:15 p.m. (A-)

· Hush (PG-13) 2:40, 4:45, 7:05 and 9:10 p.m. Gwyneth Paltrow and Jessica Lange star in this horrible thriller. What were these actresses thinking? (D+)

· Krippendorf’s Tribe (PG-13) 2:50, 4:50, 7:20 and 9:20 p.m. Spelled backward, “Krippendorf” is “Frodneppirk.” Do you see the hidden message? It means something.

· The Wedding Singer (PG-13) 2:30, 4:30, 7 and 9 p.m. So for the past five minutes, while you’ve been trying to figure out the hidden message in “Frodneppirk,” I’ve been going on with other things. I’m not idiotic enough to believe there’s a hidden message. Dumb ass. (B)

GEORGIA THEATRE (549-9918)

· Monday: Chasing Amy (R) 7 and 10 p.m. Kevin Smith’s comedy, starring Ben Affleck, is funny as hell at times, though a tad overrated. Call me crazy, but I still prefer his first two efforts: “Clerks” and “Mallrats.” “Amy” star Joey Lauren Adams is just too damn whiney. (B)

· Tuesday: Fargo (R) 7 and 10 p.m. While the Coen brothers’ newest flick, “The Big Lebowski,” opens at AMC Colonial 18 and Georgia Square 4, the Theatre features their last film, the Oscar-nominated “Fargo.” But echoing my sentiments for “Chasing Amy,” my Coen favorites are two of their earlier works: “Miller’s Crossing” and “Raising Arizona.” (A-)

TATE THEATRE (54-UNION)

All shows 3, 5:15, 7:30 and 9:45 p.m. unless otherwise noted.

· Friday/Saturday: Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (R) 3, 6 and 9 p.m. Clint Eastwood’s adaptation of the John Berendt bestseller wasn’t well received, though it’s actually nicely done. If you loved the book, though, stay away. But if you’re like me, and thought the book was just so-so, you may enjoy Dirty Harry’s version. Risk the cheap admission at either here or Alps, and at the very least see good performances by Kevin Spacey, John Cusack and Uga. (A-)

· Midnight (Fri./Sat.): Ghostbusters (PG) Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Sigourney Weaver fight goblins. We’ve all seen it, but the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man probably is scarier on the big screen. (A-)

· Sunday: Miracle in Milan (NR) Vittorio De Sica’s 1951 drama is about a young boy who has visions of his dead foster mother. It’s in Italian, so bring reading glasses.

· Tuesday: Daughters of the Dust (NR) Julie Dash’s drama sets sail to an island off the coast of 1902 Georgia, in which an African tribe, brought over for slavery, remains steadfast in their cultural heritage.

· Wednesday: Murmur of the Heart (R) Louis Malle’s 1971 drama is about a boy who experiences all of life’s vices at a young age.

· Thursday: My Man Godfrey (NR) Yo, Godfrey! My man! Why you lookin’ all dirty? Maybe that’s cuz’ you a hobo who becomes a butler! Yo, why you doin’ all dat’ work, my man! I’z gonna cap yo’ ass! Oh, never you mind, I see! That Carole Lombard is a fizzine bizzo, yo! Damn, Godfrey, you my man!
