Drama: THE LAZARUS CHILD (November 18, 2004) � When a 12-year-old boy babysitting his younger sister turns his back for a moment, she gets hit by a bus. Deep in a coma, the sister�s condition further frays her estranged parents� relationship and plunges the brother into a deep depression. The only hope for his sister is a radical form of treatment devised by an eccentric researcher whereby someone enters the comatose person�s mind and tries to communicate with them and bring them back to consciousness. With time running out, the guilt-racked brother volunteers for the job. Sound familiar? Yes, it�s The Cell without J.Lo.

Action: LADDER 49 (November 18, 2004) � Previewed in this issue.

Comedy: AFTER THE SUNSET (November 18, 2004) �

Everyone loves a clever thief (they do?). There is something universally appealing about a charming, clean-cut criminal who steals with style. Max Burdett (Pierce Brosnan) is the best. He�s stolen millions in jewels, yet in all his heists not a single person has ever been injured: no shootouts, no hostages and no chases. He�s in and out like the wind and always has an alibi. Now Max is retired and living in a South Sea island paradise. There�s only one problem: Max is bored and he needs a hobby. Guess what it�s going to be: 1) badger wrestling or 2) a return to clever thievery?

Comedy: TAXI (November 18, 2004) � Queen Latifah teams up with Saturday Night Live�s Jimmy Fallon in this action-comedy. Latifah is New York�s fastest cabbie whose skills behind the wheel and souped-up car help an overeager undercover cop (Fallon) pursue a gang of female bank robbers. Early reviews suggest that Fallon should have been a little more choosy in his selection of film debuts.
