** BIRTHDAY GIRL **

Comedy and romance
93 minutes

An English bank manager (Chaplin) orders a mail-order Russian bride (Nicole Kidman) over the Internet, but soon finds his life tipped topsy-turvy as she exhibits an unexpected possible dangerous side, accented by the arrival of two Russian cousins (Cassel, Kassovitz). (I've seen more of the film's plot; but to say much more than this seems like it might give away some spoilers; I hate doing that)


** NO MAN'S LAND**

Comedy and Drama
1 hr. 28 min.
Ciki and Nino, a Bosnian and a Serb, are soldiers stranded in a trench between enemy lines during the Bosnian war. They have no one to trust, no way to escape without getting shot and a fellow soldier is lying on the trench floor with a spring-loaded bomb set to explode beneath him if he moves. With the two men stuck in a bizarre predicament, a frustrated UN sergeant tries to help, despite orders to remain at his post. When a journalist waylays the sergeant while pushing for an exclusive scoop, she affects the unfolding of events and turns a news story into an international circus. With the world's press waiting for an outcome, no one willing to take action (lest they accept responsibility) and a soldier still stuck with a bomb beneath him, Ciki and Nino try to keep their humanity amidst the insanity of war.


**THE LEGEND OF BAGGER VANCE**

Drama and sports
127 minutes

A WWI veteran and war hero (Damon) is asked to play two of the great golf players of the time (1931), Walter Hagen (McGill) and Bobby Jones (Gretsch), in a 36-hole match game to open a local golf course. Helping him get his game back after years away is a mysterious golf caddy, Bagger Vance (Smith), whose advice on how to deliver "The Authentic Swing" also seems to have relevance in how to live life as well.

**AUSTIN POWERS IN GOLDMEMBER**

Comedy

1 hr. 33 min. It's been three years since Austin Powers, that swinging international man of mystery, has had to face his arch enemy, Dr. Evil.
