Films holding

become famous again? At Show-
case: 2:30, 6:55 2 stars.
Barbershop I went to a barbershop

ing like the one in the movie. The
barbershop I went to was in West

Salon but still...where was Ice
Cube? At Showcase: 12:50, 3:05,
5:30, 7:50, 10:25, 12:25 (Fri. and

seen its box office numbers. At

ing, Sy the photo guy sneaks up on
you and pulls out his camera. Scary
stuff. At Showcase: 4:45, 9:05,
11:20 (Fri. and Sat.) 4 stars.
Red Dragon I would like to take a
poll to see who out there actually
liked "Hannibal." Now, I'm not the
biggest fan of "Red Dragon" but it
should have made more money that
Ridley Scott's literal no-brainer. At

Sat.) At Madstone: 1:00, 3:25,
5:50, 8:15, 10:35 1 1/2 stars.
Sex with Strangers No, it is not
"Perfect Stranger" but now that I
mentioned it, wouldn't you like to
see Balki make some love. At Mad-
stone: 1:45, 3:45, 5:45, 7:45, 9:45
0 stars.
Signs Only two screenings is a
"sign" that Mel's flick is finally
leaving theaters. It doesn't take a
"sixth sense" to know that. Kill me
now. At Showcase: 3:30, 10:20 4
stars.
Sweet Home Alabama According to
your TMD it is the "date movie of
the year." Yep, that's right, "Swim-
fan" finally lost the title. At Show-
