 OUT OF SIGHT 

        I can*t believe I*m saying this but, OUT OF SIGHT finally gives 
George Clooney the opportunity to show us what he is made of and not 
the dribble folks can see every week on ER or the pathetic characters he 
has had to play in other feature films.  I*m sure George would like to 
forget BATMAN & ROBIN forever, as well as scores of movie goers 
would as well.  OUT OF SIGHT is a hot, sexy, funny film directed by 
Steven Soderbergh (SEX, LIES AND VIDEOTAPE) and adapted from 
Elmore Leonard*s crime tale.  On his way from escaping from prison Jack 
Foley (George Clooney) runs into Federal marshal Karen Sisco (Jennifer 
Lopez), who happens to be close by, and is kidnaped by Buddy (Ving 
Rhames) Jack*s buddy and thrown into the trunk of the getaway car with 
Jack.  From there they initiate a sexually charged but ill-fated relationship. 
 Just like PULP FICTION and GET SHORTY this film takes us on an 
unpredictable ride that leaves us appalled but smiling none the less.  Look 
to enjoy a star studded supporting cast that includes Albert Brooks and a 
few surprise and unbilled performances.  This is a funny, intelligent film 
thrown into the wasteland of over budgeted and slick special 
effects-ridden summer releases.... 

But I haven*t seen these films, so I could be wrong
