Primal Fear -- Richard Gere stars as Martin Vail, a famed defense lawyer who volunteers his services to Aaron Stampler (Edward Norton), a Kentucky teenager charged with the murder of a Chicago archbishop.

Chiseled, successful Johnny Rebel (Scott Gurney) is the biggest star in gay porn. The fact that he's straight doesn't seem to make a difference to anyone. Not to Julie, his lap-dancer girlfriend, not to Sean, a young filmmaker (and Johnny's private "fluffer") who's obsessed with Johnny, and not even to Johnny himself, who lives for the money and the adulation. But, in the City of Dreams, you should watch what you wish for.

Golden Globe and Emmy Award-nominee Adam Sandler ("Punch-Drunk Love," TV's "Saturday Night Live") stars as the spawn of Satan. When Satan reneges on his plans to retire, two of his three heirs leave Hell for New York City to gather enough souls to vote the Prince of Darkness out of office. But Satan sends his youngest -- and nicest -- son, Little Nicky, to bring the other two home. Also starring Golden Globe-nominee and Emmy Award-winner Patricia Arquette ("True Romance" TV's "Medium"), Academy Award and Golden Globe-winner Reese Witherspoon ("Walk the Line," "Legally Blonde"), Rhys Ifans ("Notting Hill," TV's "Not Only But Always"), Rodney Dangerfield ("Caddyshack," "Back to School"), Emmy Award-winner Dana Carvey ("Wayne's World 1 & 2," "Saturday Night Live"), Emmy Award-nominee Jon Lovitz ("A League of their Own," TV's "Saturday Night Live") and Academy Award and Golden Globe-nominee Harvey Keitel ("Bugsy," "Pulp Fiction") as Satan.

"Serves up twist after twist." - Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times "Gere creates one of the best performances of his career." Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times. Guilty? Innocent? Those questions aren't for high-powered Chicago attorney Martin Vail (Richard Gere) to decide. His job is to defend - especially if a case will put his name in the headlines and further his career. When Vail hears that a penniless altar boy (Edward Norton) is accused of murdering the local archbishop, he snaps up the case, eager for the media spotlight. Little does he know that it will uncover a viper's nest of corruption, pit him against a prosecutor (Laura Linney) who's his ex-lover, and test all his skill, judgement and even his win-at-any-cost attitude.

When a blood-spattered altar boy (Ed Norton) is found running from a murder scene, his conviction seems certain. But when arrogant defense attorney Martin Vail (Richard Gere) steps in, the issue of the boy's possible guilt may be less important than winning the case. Based on the novel by William Diehl, this twisty thriller delivers a perfect police procedural with characters that are deeper than they appear.

Confrontations between a priest (Jack Lemmon) and a seminary student (Zeljko Ivanek) lead both to a greater understanding of the human spirit.

Gregarious priest Father Farley (Jack Lemmon) takes under his wing Mark Dolson (Zeljko Ivanek), a bright, devout seminary student who shakes up the establishment of an affluent Los Angeles church with a spate of controversial views. Despite being branded "Father Bojangles" by his young compatriot, Farley forges a deep bond with Mark in this intimate drama based on the Broadway play. Charles Durning co-stars as the seminary's monsignor.

Should a priest tell his congregation what they want to hear instead of the truth? Mass Appeal stars Jack Lemmon as Father Tim Farley, a complacent priest in a wealthy suburban parish who drives a Mercedes and cracks jokes from the pulpit. When idealistic Mark Dolson (Zeljko Ivanek), a radical seminarian accuses him of "song and dance theology," the result is a head-on clash that teaches each man the true meaning of faith. Based on the Broadway hit, this witty and thought-provoking adaptation is a humorous and compelling duel of conscience and compromise.
