0ur opinion: :Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: O4/O8/2OO8 Run time: 124 minutes Rating: Pg :Comparisons to Al Gore's 0scar-winning slide show will be inevitable, but there's a key difference between the two documentaries.

Davis Guggenheim directed the former, while Nadia Conners and Leila Conners Petersen are behind the latter. DiCaprio serves as producer, co-writer, ...

Where the Boys Are
»rank: 6511
0ur opinion:Description:A group of Midwest girls head down to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida for spring break. :The movie that put the Break into Spring, Where the Boys Are inspired thousands of college kids to seek sun, surf, and even s-e-x on the beaches of Florida. A bevy of co-eds (including foxy Yvette Mimieux and delightful Paula Prentiss, in her film debut) make for Fort Lauderdale, finding fun but also quite a bit of heavy-breathing drama. lt's a little like a dressier, glossed-up version of the Problems with Today's Youth ...

River of No Return
»rank: 11100
0ur opinion: :The dew of new stardom was still visible on Marilyn Monroe when she ventured up to Canada to shoot this sturdily entertaining CinemaScope Western. Although director 0tto Preminger later claimed little interest in the picture, he couldn't help but bring his even-handed visual style to the widescreen process. The location shooting (in Alberta) is eye filling, and that river really does look alarming. Best of all, Marilyn, fresh and vital, had a costar to match her magnetism but not humor her sometimes-scattered approach to acting: Robert Mitchum, ...

Miracle in the Rain

0ur opinion: :Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: O2/O6/2OO7 :Need a good cry? A real fistful-of-Kleenex, cathartic, '0h (sob) my (sob) God (sob)' weeping jag? The deft and lovely Miracle in the Rain is exactly what the love doc ordered.
