Some law-enforcement guy loses his wife to the gangster-mobster-bad-guy after he gets too close or ends up arresting the big-cheese himself. Gee, have we seen this before?
In case you haven't, Vin Diesel stars as Sean Vetter, a DEA agent who was an intricate part of bringing down one of the biggest druglords in U.S. history, Meno Lucero (Gino Silva).

Rob Zombie is without a doubt one of the biggest names in rock music. His band White Zombie dominated the rock charts in the early 1990s with their hits like "More Human Than Human" and "Thunderkiss 65", winning all sorts of MTV Award hardware.
While, as a film critic, it is dangerous to make broad generalizations (all Vin Diesel movies aren't worthy of my time, all Fellini movies are egotistically maddening, etc.) I feel relatively safe in claiming that films adapted from Stephen King works fall under three categories.
James Bond Jr., uh, I mean Cody Banks to the rescue.
TV-phenom Frankie Muniz takes to the silver screen once more as he steps into the pseudo-world of a secret agent. Muniz plays Cody Banks, teenager who was recruited by the CIA at a summer camp where he was trained with the elite abilities of a secret agent.
From the mind of Spike Jonze and Charlie Kaufman comes Nicolas Cage starring as twin brothers who are struggling with emotional as well as literary turmoils. It's funny, creative, and showcases good performances. Sign me up!

Jack's back, let the elderly Oscar-voters cheer. "Oh my god! Jack's made a new movie. He so deserves the Oscar," you hear as a gaggle of Beverly Hills, wheelchair bound Oscar-voters say as they scurry past.
Controversial director Spike Lee serves up his latest project since the fall of the World Trade Center in New York City.
25th Hour follows Montgomery Brogan (Edward Norton), Hermes Jewelry an Irish drug dealer who finds himself left with one day of freedom before he is sent to the "big house" for seven years.
1999's Analyze This did well at the box office, but it wasn't all that funny. Here we are three years later, and the sequel should also do well at the box office plus it's a lot funnier.
Analyze That features the same cast: Robert De Niro, Billy Crystal, and Lisa Kudrow, looking and acting like Teri Garr (and that's a very good thing).
In 1999, a little mob-comedy called Analyze This spawned a new look at mob bosses, their crew, and the life behind the scenes. Hot on the heels of the new HBO mafia-series The Sopranos, Analyze This paved new territory and gave comedian Billy Crystal his first hit since 1994's City Slickers 2.
