Mr. Deeds

When an elderly relative drops dead atop Mount Everest, his monstrous media company is turned over to Deeds.

Peter Gallagher co-stars. Directed by Steven Brill.

The Mothman Prophecies

PG13 Time:118

A widowed newspaper reporter is drawn to a small West Virginia town to investigate a strange creature that may have supernatural origins.

While fears in the town continue to grow, Klein becomes personally involved--thanks to an unnerving series of phone calls from a person or thing--who knows everything about him...and everything that's to come. Laura Linney co-stars as the town's sheriff in this eerie, fact-based chiller that was adapted from John A. Keel's 1975 book. With Will Patton (Gone in Sixty Seconds), Debra Messing (TV's Will and Grace), Lucinda Jenney (Thirteen Days). Directed by Mark Pellington (Arlington Road).
