Let's face it. There aren't enough movies about birds.

But from the depths of this dark abyss comes "Paulie" the story of a talking bird. Not since the chatty swine from "Babe" has an animal movie packed such a potent punch.

Jennifer Aniston, known more for her magazine spreads than her talent, stars as a love struck-lass in "The Object Of My Affection." It's your classic hot, straight girl falls in love with your hot, homosexual guy story. She gets pregnant; problems ensue. Like many things once buoyant, her career is going down with Jack Dawson.

Jeremy Irons stars as a British colonial in Hong Kong around the time of the reunification with China in "The Chinese Box." Directed by Wayne Wang, the film is sure to be a hit with both art house and action fans alike.

And then there's Heather Graham. Even the name makes you feel like you're a child of the rainbow. From swing dancing in "Swingers" to skating around Dirk Diggler in "Boogie Nights," the actress has etched a permanent place in movie-babe history.

Those who were disappointed by the limitations of her role in "Lost In Space" will be pleased to see that Golden Grahams is back in action in "Two Girls and a Guy." Starring opposite a freshly rehabbed Robert Downey, Jr. and Natasha Wagner, Graham plays the seductive blonde in this erotic threesome.

The film finds Downey in a awkward predicament when his two girls discover that he has been two-timing them like a dirty dog.

The real-life convict gives a strikingly true-to-life performance as a pathological liar suffering from a strong case of oedipal syndrome.

The cure for his ailing, yep, you guessed it, Heather "Golden" Graham. Shouldn't we all be so lucky?
