 | New the week of Oct. 16 |  |
 Rated: PG (animal action, mild potty humor) Starring: Tobey Maguire, Alec Baldwin Time: 83 minutes Summary: Eons ago, cats ruled the world, until dogs rose up and gave control to humans. Now the felines are ready to rule anew. A mind-bending litter of special effects brings the age-old canine-feline feud to vivid life. Kids will adore the mugging mutts; adults will chuckle at the wordplay. - RICK HOLTER
Also this week on video
Angel Eyes
 Rated: R (language, violence, sexuality) Starring: Jennifer Lopez, Jim Caviezel Time: 103 minutes Summary: Jennifer Lopez plays a tough-as-nails Chicago policewoman who's vulnerable on the inside. Jim Caviezel plays a soft-hearted street man with a mysterious past who's really a pillar of strength. In this dreary, predictable, constantly soul-searching romance, it takes them an incredibly long time to realize that they're made for each other.

Let it Snow
 Rated: Unrated (sexuality, language) Starring: Kipp Marcus, Alice Dylan Time: 90 minutes Summary: A genuinely charming romantic comedy about the evolution of friendship into love, this small-sized gem contains sharp dialogue and appealing characters. It's been too long since we've been treated to those staples of happy movie-going. Enjoy, enjoy.

Town and Country
 Rated: R (language, sexual situations, partial nudity)
Starring: Warren Beatty, Diane Keaton
Time: 104 minutes
Summary: A successful architect tries to keep his marriage and life afloat as he dabbles with infidelity and the marriage of close friends implodes. The film is part Manhattan relationship comedy and part play-it-for-laughs farce. The two sides don't mesh.
– JOHN C. DAVENPORT
Chunhyang
 Rated: R (sexuality, violence, nudity)
Starring: Lee Hyo Jung, Cho Seung Woo
Time: 120 minutes
Summary: This Korean love story is simply gorgeous, shot with a gracefully moving camera that always seems to be in the right place at the right time. The chorus narration gets distracting at times, but not enough to downgrade a beautiful film.
– CHRIS VOGNAR
The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg
 Rated: Not rated (racial slurs, mild language)
Starring: Hank Greenberg, Alan Dershowitz
Time: 95 minutes
Summary: A breezy, important documentary on baseball's first Jewish superstar, who stood as a symbol of pride when anti-Semitism was common. Fun to watch, well-researched, with visual flair.
