Roger Ebert and Richard Roeper reviews "Stealing Harvard" (A Very Stupid Comedy with Tom Green, Jason Lee, Leslie Mann, Megan Mullally, Richard Jenkins, John C. Gingley and Dennis Farina. Directed By: Bruce McCulloch.); "Swimming"; (A Coming-of-Age Drama with Lauren Ambrose, Jennifer Dundas Lowe, Josh Pais, Joelle Carter and Jamie Harrold. Directed By: Robert L. Siegel.); "Igby Goes Down" (Terrific Quirky Comedy with an Excellent Cast! Starring: Kieran Culkin, Susan Sarandon, Jeff Goldblum, Bill Pullman (Their second collaboration since Independence Day), Claire Danes and Jared Harris. Written & Directed By: Burr Steers.); "Spirited Away" (A Stunning Fantasy Anime Masterpiece from Studio Ghibli and Director, Hayao Miyazaki! English Dubbed Version stars Daveigh Chase, Jason Marsden, Susan Egan, Michael Chikis, Lauren Holly and Suzanne Pleshette. It had a limited release including the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood. But after it won an Oscar for "Best Animated Feature", Disney and Studio Ghibli gave it a wide release before it lands on Home Video a few weeks later in 2003! I saw it in theatres and had a wonderful time!) "Barbershop" (Hilarious Feel-Good Urban Comedy with a Solid Cast and later became a franchise. Starring: Ice Cube and Cedric The Entertainer!) and "I'm Going Home."

Thumbs Up Video: Ebert's picks are "The Ladykillers" (Hilarious Dark Comedy with Alec Guinness. I have the Kino Lorber 4K UHD/Blu-ray release!) and "The Man in the White Suit". Roeper's picks are "The Rookie" (Excellent Sports Drama with Dennis Quaid) and "The Salton Sea" (Amazing film with the late, great Val Kilmer). And a recap of Today's program.
