Director: Fred Schepisi

Summary: Steve Martin stars as C.D., the small-town fire chief with an extra large nose, about which he is very sensitive. His obvious shyness, but romantic way with words, makes him the ideal ghost-writer for his pal Chris's love letters to the woman of both their dreams. Who 'nose' who'll win in the end...

Small-town fire chief C.D. Bales (Steve Martin, in a wonderfully skillful verbal and physical performance) is an extraordinary man with an extraordinary nose. Astronomer Roxanne Kowalski (Daryl Hannah) has just come to his town of Nelson, Washington in order to get away from the city and to get a clearer view of a comet she is tracking. When both Bales and a handsome-but-slow fireman fall in love with Roxanne, Bales supplies the words while the other supplies the kisses. Includes a great cast of small-town characters played by among others, Michael J. Pollard and Shelley Duvall. Based on "Cyrano De Bergerac" by Edmond Rostand, this warm romantic comedy is one of Martin's best.

The fourth Pokémon feature follows the pattern set by the previous three--and falls into the same traps. The TV series depicts the modest adventures of Pokémon trainer Ash Ketcham and his friends Brock and Misty as they roam an imaginary world, fighting matches and making friends. The features add elaborate CG effects that don't mesh with the flat, drawn characters, and over-scaled threats that feel beyond Ash's abilities to resolve. Forty years ago, Sam, a young trainer, meets the 251st Pokémon, Celebi (it looks like Tinkerbell with a goldfish for a head). To escape a mean hunter, Celebi brings Sam to the present day, where they meet Ash & Company. They also meet the evil Iron Mask Marauder who's supposed to be a member of Team Rocket, but who's much nastier than the comically inept Jessie, James, and Meowth. The Marauder corrupts Celebi with a "dark ball" and forces it to create a monster out of trees, branches, etc., that is blatantly copied from the Night Walkerin Princess Mononoke. Ash and his friends eventually save the day, the Pokémon, and the forest--but it all feels like we've been there/done that. --Charles Solomon
