Top five movies and upcoming releases
A look at what's happening at the movies

Top five movies
1. Control Room - Did the Arab news network Al Jazeera work as an anti-American propaganda tool or the most rational conveyor of Iraq war information? You make the call after watching this documentary, a worthy companion to Fahrenheit 9/11.
2. Before Sunset - Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy make artful conversation in a sequel far superior to its predecessor, 1995's Before Sunrise.
3. The Bourne Supremacy - Another worthwhile sequel, starring Matt Damon as an amnesiac CIA assassin framed for a counterintelligence crime and not happy about it.
4. Spider-Man 2 - The Marvel Comics icon, played by Tobey Maguire, returns with a better villain (Alfred Molina) and more believable special effects.
5. Fahrenheit 9/11 - Michael Moore's bludgeoning of the Bush administration is occasionally flawed but always fascinating.
