The Three Musketeers

PG Time:105

It's all for one and one for all in this fifth cinematic version of the Alexandre Dumas swashbuckling classic. Set in 16th-century France, the film follows the sword-fighting adventures of D'Artagnan (Chris O'Donnell), a brave young man who wishes to join the ranks of royal guardians known as the Musketeers. Having been disbanded by the devious Cardinal Richelieu (Tim Curry), the Musketeers are now only a renegade team of three--Aramis (Charlie Sheen), Athos (Kiefer Sutherland) and Porthos (Oliver Platt). When D'Artagnan discovers that the Cardinal is planning a deadly alliance with Britain, the trio quickly become a foursome as they set out to stop him. "Buckle your swash and have a good time" (New York Post). With Rebecca De Mornay, Gabrielle Anwar, Michael Wincott and Julie Delpy.

Detective Mitch Preston (Robert De Niro) is a hard-nosed "Dirty Harry"-style cop. Trey Sellars (Eddie Murphy) is just a goofball in uniform. The pair can't stand each other, but when Mitch gets into trouble for clashing with a TV cameraman, he is forced to participate in a new television reality series...with Mitch as his more-than-willing partner! "Showtime" is a ratings bonanza, but the dangerous reality of their job soon comes into play, thanks to crooks armed with a terrifying weapon. Rene Russo co-stars in this comic spoof that "displays an ingenuity, cleverness and briskness that never flags" (L.A. Times). Also with William Shatner. Directed by Tom Dey (Shanghai Noon).

The Last Castle

R Time:131

On the most unlikely of battlegrounds, one man is about to inspire a mutiny steeped in patriotism and pride. Robert Redford stars as Eugene Irwin, a three-star U.S. general who is sent to a fortress-like prison for disobeying orders. There, he finds himself under the ultra-strict command of Col. Winter (The Sopranos star James Gandolfini), a tyrannical warden whose military inferiority complex quickly leads to his butting heads with his star prisoner. Their battle of wills sparks Irwin to lead the prisoners in a deadly rebellion that would be the end of Winter if it succeeds...or the end of them if it doesn't. With Mark Ruffalo (You Can Count on Me), Delroy Lindo and Clifton Collins Jr. Directed by Rod Lurie; screenplay by David Scarpa and Graham Yost, from a story by Scarpa.
