Overbearing and controlling, not to mention volatile, Viola
Fields (Jane Fonda) has recently been canned from her job as a
star news anchor. Fearing she will lose her son's affections as
she has her career, Viola decides to break up the happy couple by
becoming the world's worst mother-in-law. Helping her with her
crazy schemes is Viola's long-time assistant, Ruby (Wanda Sykes).
The gloves come off when Charlie finally decides to fight back
and it looks like Viola has finally met her match. Marks Fonda's

hand-to-hand battles sans wires and special effects. A sacred
Buddha statuette called "Ong Bak" is stolen from it's rural town
and it soon becomes the task of young man, named Boonting, to
track the thief to Bangkok and reclaim the religious treasure.
Along the way, Boonting must use his astounding athleticism and

SAHARA
When master explorer Dirk Pitt (Matthew McConaughey) finds a
fabled coin linked to a historical legend, he takes on the
adventure of his life and embarks on a treasure hunt through some
of the most dangerous regions of West Africa. As Pitt and his
wisecracking sidekick Al Giordino (Steve Zahn) search for what
the locals call the "Ship of Death" -- a long-lost Civil War
battleship that protects a secret cargo -- they also thwart the
attempted assassination of a beautiful U.N. scientist, Dr. Eva
Rojas (Penelope Cruz), investigating a disease that is driving
thousands of North Africans into madness and death. The suspected
cause of the raging epidemic is a vast, unprecedented pollution
that threatens to extinguish all life in the world's seas.
Equipped with an extraordinary, state-of-the-art yacht, Pitt runs
a gauntlet between a billionaire industrialist and a bloodthirsty
West African tyrant. In the scorching desert, he finds a gold
mine manned by slaves and uncovers the truth behind two enduring
mysteries -- the fate of the Civil War ironclad and the last
flight of a long-lost female pilot. Straight-ahead action-
adventure with squeaky escapes, romance and fun. Though at times
it bogs down under its own weight, still a worthwhile way to wile
away an evening. Director: Breck Eisner. Stars: Matthew

homosexuals. Eyal (Lior Ashkenazi) is an undercover Israeli
intelligence agent assigned to track down and terminate a former
Nazi war criminal who was never brought to justice, Alfred
Himmelman. In order to discover his whereabouts, Eyal must
befriend Himmelman's grandchildren, Pia and Axel. Pia (Carolina
Peters) left Germany several years ago and now lives on an
Israeli kibbutz. Her younger brother Axel (Knut Berger) comes to
Israel for a visit, and Eyal poses as a tour guide assigned to
show him around the country. At first unsociable toward the pair,
Eyal soon discovers that both Pia and Axel are good people. But
when Eyal finds out that Axel is gay he is forced to continue his
friendship with him -- despite his deep-rooted prejudice against
homosexuals -- in order to complete the mission. Slowly, almost
against his will, he finds his assumptions about people -- be
they Germans, gays or Palestinians -- being called into question.

Carola Regnier. 2005, CC, MPAA rating: R, 104 min., Drama, Box
