News tips

How is it already the end of May? Thus endeth the first (and biggest, from the looks of things) month of the summer movie season. Two of this week's flicks actually opened at midnight: Sex and the City (shocker!) and the lesser hyped The Strangers, which was slated to open here a few months ago. While it only scored a 'C' from international man of movie criticism Roger Moore, he makes it sound awfully intruiging:

Fans of the "pitiless-merciless killers" school of horror should get a jolt out of The Strangers, a harrowing real-time tale of an assault on a remote country home.
This is Funny Games without the smug, rich villains and smug, taunt-the-audience director. It's When a Stranger Calls with the menace coming from a knock on the door in the middle of the night, not a phone call, or Vacancy set in a ranch house, not a hotel.
