Million Dollar Baby This one has a lot of buzz because Hilary Swank's performance already earned a Golden Globe and is considered a contender for an Oscar. Director Clint Eastwood establishes an authentic setting and richly detailed characters in the story of Maggie (Swank), who flees her trailer park to follow her dream of becoming a champion boxer. The movie also becomes a first-rate tear-jerker so genuine that even cynical viewers surrender. Also starring Eastwood and Morgan Freeman.

Alone in the Dark Another video game comes to the big screen with Alone in the Dark. Christian Slater plays a detective of the paranormal and supernatural who discovers that ancient demons are coming back to take over Earth, and only he and his ex-girlfriend (Tara Reid) can stop them. Uwe Boll (House of the Dead) directed the horror thriller, which also stars Stephen Dorff, Will Sanderson and Francoise Yip.

Hide and Seek Oscar winner Robert De Niro teams up with young acting phenom Dakota Fanning in Hide and Seek. De Niro plays a man trying to build a new life for his daughter (Fanning) in a quiet town in upstate New York after his wife (Amy Irving) dies suddenly and leaves haunting memories in their Manhattan home. At first, the father is pleased when the girl creates an imaginary friend, but when gruesome things start happening, he and her psychologist (Famke Janssen) begin to wonder if the playmate is actually real. Fanning (Man on Fire, I Am Sam ) hides her trademark blond wisps under a brunette wig for the thriller, which also stars Elisabeth Shue, Dylan Baker, Melissa Leo and Robert John Burke. John Polson (Swimfan) directed.
