Clinton, my pal Mike told me about "Cube"; sounds good!

I watched THREE press screeninsg today; my eyes and brain are fried! Some of the critics I saw all day today stayed on and watched a FOURTH film (Bubble Boy; no dout terrible; I was not interested.

Saw "Ghosts of Mars." Eh. Not too bad, not very good. Violent, glossy space thriller. Not recommended unless you like this sort of thing.

Saw "The Crimson Rivers." French thriller about a serial killer and rumors of Nazi eugenics at an elite college; rather good! Recommended.

Saw "Hearts in Atlantis." Based on Stephen King story. Anthony Hopkins as a mysterious man who comes into a young boy's life. Very funny and moving, a bit sentimental and manipulative, but nevertheless I enjoyed it! Something the whole family could enjoy, believe it or not; but not strictly a kid's movie at all...highly recommended.
