Actor/comedian Chris Rock directs and stars in this American remake of Eric Rohmer' s classic French comedy Chloe in the Afternoon. Richard Cooper (Rock) is a high-powered investment banker with a beautiful wife and two wonderful children. Though on the surface it would appear that Richard could want nothing more out of life, his thoughts always seem to drift toward sex. Whether it's during his daily commute into the city, his endless barrage of meetings, or even his downtime changing diapers at home, Richard's mind is constantly preoccupied by fantasies about the women he sees on the commuter train, on the city streets, and in the boardroom. Richard's daily life has gradually devolved into a blur of mind-numbing banality, and these days sexual fantasy has become his sole means of escaping the constant pressures of work and fatherhood. Though Richard never had any real intention of cheating on his faithful but preoccupied wife Brenda (Gina Torres), a chance run-in with his old friend Nikki (Kerry Washington) -- a drop-dead gorgeous stunner who appears at his office door one day seeking career advice from the successful banker -- finds his steely resolve fast turning flimsy. It's not long before the smitten Richard and the smoldering Nikki are meeting for clandestine lunches, and temptation begins to turn Richard's once-predictable life upside down. As his uncontrollable fantasies begin to lead him down the dangerous path of infidelity, the man who once kept his libido safely in check finds it increasingly difficult to refrain from acting on his impulses. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Director Preston A. Whitmore II brings the thrill of the street to the big screen with a fast-moving tale of underground basketball that proves no matter what team you play for, in the end it's all about how much game you've got. The stroke of midnight has sounded and the crowd has gathered; it's time for some basketball. Forget about the rules of the NBA, though, and throw those college credentials out the window because they don't mean a thing in this court. In a converted rail station, the only players who gain respect are the ones left standing when the clock hits zero, and the current champions have been standing way too tall for far too long. Now a new generation is ready to take over the top spot, and young hopefuls Tech (Anthony Mackie) and Cruise (Wesley Jonathan) are leading the charge. With everything on the line and the challenge of a lifetime before them, these too young street-ballers will be forced to out-dribble, out-shoot, and out-run their more experienced competitors in order to win the game and pave the way for the next crop of street smart shooters. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Thirteen new episodes of America's Next Top Model are served up for the reality series' third season (or third "cycle"), with a new bevy of young lovelies vying for the title. Forsaking the New York City locale of the series' first two seasons, season three begins in Los Angeles. The opening episode features a pool party, in which the viewer is given an up-close-and-personal look at the curvaceous contestants -- just before the first elimination round, in which 34 semi-finalists are whittled down to 20. This is followed by another elimination round, which leaves 14 girls standing (or swimming). Now we finally get to New York, and to the fashionable loft apartment where the 14 finalists will live together and prepare for their modeling careers. First on the docket is a fashion makeover at Peter Coppola Studios, followed by a training session with the winner of the season-two competition, Yoanna House. Then comes the posing session, the obstacle course (obstacle course?), the shopping trip, and all the rest of the rituals -- with girls being eliminated from the game on a steady and systematic basis. Following the "final three" elimination round -- and for the record, those three are named Eva, Yaya, and Amanda -- the season ends with a "where are they now?" special catching up with the winners and losers of the first three seasons. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
