“Deuces Wild” (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) – The summer of 1958 forever changed the Brooklyn landscape. Aside from the sweltering summer heat and the loss of its beloved Dodgers, Brooklyn was in a state of unrest. It was a time when rumbles escalated into gunfights and honor was quickly becoming a thing of the past. A new breed of wise guys threatened to take control of Brooklyn’s rough streets, but only one gang wouldn’t back down: the Deuces. Soon, however, the Deuces began to realize that loyalty and midnight rumbles could no longer protect them from the turbulent times ahead. Starring Stephen Dorff, Brad Renfro, James Franco, Joshua Leonard and Vincent Pastore. Directed by Scott Kalvert. Rated R for strong violence, language, some drug content and brief sexuality.

“Hollywood Ending” (Dreamworks) – Woody Allen writes, directs and stars in his latest contemporary comedy, as a once-famous film director who finds his latest job by working for a studio executive (Treat Williams) who is now dating his ex-wife (Téa Leoni). Even as he starts work on what he hopes will be his comeback project, the director finds, however, that he has gone temporarily blind. Starring Allen, Debra Messing, Leoni, Williams and Mark Rydell. Directed by Allen. Rated PG-13 for some drug references and sexual material.

“Spider-Man” (Columbia Tristar) – Based on the legendary flagship character of Marvel Comics, this is the story of Peter Parker, a high school student living with his Aunt May and Uncle Ben after the death of his parents when he was just a baby. He’s an avid student with a much-less-than-stellar social life and a knack for bad luck. While attending a scientific demonstration, a freak accident bombards a stray spider with radiation, and that same spider finds its way onto the unsuspecting Peter’s body and bites him, miraculously granting him incredible spider-like abilities; in effect, making him into the amazing Spider-Man. Peter will find that there’s a thin line between an ordinary man and an extraordinary hero, and he’ll have to be the one to cross it. Starring Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, Willem Dafoe, James Franco and J.K. Simmons. Directed by Sam Raimi. Rated PG-13 for stylized violence and action.
