Don't Go Breaking My Heart
Directed by Willi Patterson Starring Jenny Seagrove, Anthony Edwards, Charles Dance, Tom Conti

The Parent Trap
Directed by Nancy Meyers Starring Natasha Richardson, Dennis Quaid, Lindsay Lohan
Disney's remake of the 1961 comedy which starred Hayley Mills in a dual role features the likeable Lindsay Lohan as twin sisters who first discover each other's existence when they meet at summer camp.

Southpaw PG
Directed by Liam McGrath
McGrath's endearing documentary has a rich subject in Francis Barrett, the young Traveller who represented Ireland as a light-welterweight boxer in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. This emotional chronicle follows his training in the most primitive of circumstances on a Galway halting site; his warm relationship with his mentor and friend, Chick Gillen; the ups and downs in his boxing career; and the prejudiced responses of some minor politicians back home.
