One True Thing. Meryl Streep, Renee Zellweger, William Hurt. Dir. Carl Franklin. An ambitious young journalist puts her career on hold when her mother gets cancer. From Anna Quindlen's novel.

Permanent Midnight. Ben Stiller, Elizabeth Hurley. Dir. David Veloz. Scary, graphic true story of a sitcom writer with a heroin habit.

A Soldier's Daughter Never Cries. Barbara Hershey, Kris Kristofferson. Dir. James Ivory. The new Merchant-Ivory film, about an adolescent girl and her father living in Paris. Based on an autobiographical novel by James Jones's daughter.

Ronin. Robert De Niro, Jean Reno. Dir. John Frankenheimer. Ex-intelligence agents chase a briefcase around Europe. They don't know what's in it, but we bet it's something important.
