November 1 - Video and DVD Releases
This action-adventure movie gives a big-screen version of the origin of the Marvel Comics hero Spider-Man. Nerdy high school senior Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) visits a university, where he is bitten by a genetically altered spider. Soon Peter is more muscular, can make huge leaps, and spin webs. When a member of his family is killed during the commission of a crime, he becomes Spider-Man, a heroic crime-fighter. In this movie, Spider-Man takes on the Green Goblin (Willem Dafoe), a superhuman homicidal maniac. Although they use different methods, both Spider-Man and the Green Goblin are able to soar through the Manhattan skies. Meanwhile, Peter makes a tentative beginning at romance with attractive next-door neighbor Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst). Selected Special DVD Features:

Ellen Burstyn, Sandra Bullock, Maggie Smith, Ashley Judd, James Garner, Fionnula Flanagan, and Shirley Knight star in this upbeat drama, which was directed and co-scripted by Callie Khouri. The movie is adapted from novels by Rebecca Wells. Vivi (Burstyn) is an older woman who lives in Louisiana, as do her three lifelong friends—Caro (Smith), Teensy (Flanagan), and Necie (Knight). These four constitute the self-styled Ya-Ya Sisterhood. Vivi's daughter Sidda (Bullock) is a New York playwright who is estranged from her mother. Caro, Teensy, and Necie abduct Sidda and show her their scrapbook, titled "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood," to try to make her understand her troubled mother.

Powerpuff Girls" (2002) This is an animated children's film, but adults who watch it with kids probably won't mind it too much. The movie tells the story of the origin of the three little girls who appear regularly in a TV series on the Cartoon Network. It seems that in the city of Townsville, Professor Utonium set out to create the perfect little girl in his lab. He put in sugar and spice and everything nice, but a substance called Chemical X accidentally got into the mix, and out came Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup—three little girls with huge heads, big eyes that can shoot laser beams, and the ability to fly. The girls are conned by an evil monkey named Mojo Jojo into helping him and other simians take over Townsville. But eventually the Powerpuff Girls learn from their mistakes and use their superpowers to set things right. Selected Special DVD Features:
