                          Portman, and Clive Owen.
 A very pointed tag line in the review trailer goes like 
                          this: "If you believe in love at first sight . 
                          . . . you never stop looking". Whoa. We liked that 
                          line, and think the movie should prove interesting. 
                          It's basically a look at two couples, fate, relationships, 
                          infidelity, and the reasons for all of the above.
 
 January 28th & 29th - "PHANTOM 
                          of the OPERA". (Rated PG-13). Starring: Gerard 
                          Butler, Emmy Rossum, Patrick Wilson, Miranda Richardson, 
                          and Minnie Driver.
 We are told that this is THE movie adaptation of Andrew 
                          Lloyd Webber's play. If you've ever had the opportunity 
                          to see a good production of the live musical/opera, 
                          you may--like us--have suspicions about a "good" 
                          movie. There's only one way to find out. A classic tale 
                          of a disfigured guy in a mask, fawning over a beautiful 
                          opera singer who is already taken. He (The Phantom) 
                          goes a little wacky and vindictive, then remorseful. 
                          Then, she eventually ends up at his place, and all hell 
                          breaks loose. Sort-of. Some macho fighting and scary 
                          stuff, and---oh yeah---some really, really good singing 
                          numbers.
