The Love Boat

Nora Ephron promises her latest, Lucky Numbers, contains a little more bite and edge than the sweetness and light we've come to expect from the woman who brought us Sleepless in Seattle. John Travolta stars as a weatherman who colludes with Lisa Kudrow to swindle the state lottery... Angelina Jolie and Antonio Banderas steam up windows and wallow in their own naked splendor in Original Sin, directed by Michael Cristofer, about a mail-order bride arriving in Cuba in the 1880s... Natasha Richardson and Alan Rickman star in Blow Dry, one of those charming UK films about a hairdressing competition in a working-class English town. Sound like last year's The Big Tease? It sure does, which is one of the reasons it was probably bumped to a fall release. Directed by I Went Down's Paddy Breathnach, the comedy also features stateside Teenseltown stars Josh Hartnett and Rachel Leigh-Cook.
