...fried. This send-up of the classic Steve McQueen film, The Great Escape, features more cool animated effects from the England-based Aardman Animations, the Academy Award-winning team behind the popular "Wallace and Gromit" shorts; Chicken Run marks their first full-length claymation feature. With Disney releasing its summer kid fare Dinosaur a month earlier than the usual mid-June release date for its animated films, Chicken Run is expected to challenge Disney's hold on younger audiences...
...likes to pick fights. The catch? They're both the same person. Confused? Don't be. Just another case of multiple-personality disorder, Carrey style. Throw in the beautiful Zellweger, whom both alter-egos fall in love with, and you've got the recipe for a side-splitting summer comedy. The Farrelly Brothers, directors of the wildly successful There's Something About Mary, are at it again-and this time, they've got one of the greatest comedic minds of our generation to play with. Carrey has proven that he can assume a nearly infinite number of outrageous personas...

Here, Clooney and Walhberg (it's two of the Three Kings) star in the adaptation of the best selling book about a monster...
...book of all time. Singer's reputation for making edgy, character-driven films ensures that X-Men will have substance underneath all the flash. Add to this an A-list cast (Stewart was born to play Professor X) and a healthy dose of special effects, and you get a summer blockbuster that does justice to its comic book inspiration. It wouldn't be a stretch to call this the most eagerly anticipated comic flick of all time. Fans of the X-Men have waited patiently for years to see their favorite heroes and villains in live action...
