• Shooter - Marky Mark Wahlberg is back in action hero mode as Bobby Lee Swagger (seriously), an ex-military sniper caught up in a web of conspiracies and lies. Mayhem ensues.
Date Index - 4 out of 5. You'll love the action and climactic chase scenes, she'll love love watching Marky run around sans shirt.

• Reign Over Me - Adam Sandler tries once again to prove he's all grown up by choosing drama over comedy. If you've seen the previews you've seen the whole movie, but basically he plays a man who looks remarkably like a young Bob Dylan that lost his wife and children in 9/11, and then his mind. Not exactly a feel-good way to spend two hours.
Date Index - 2 out of 5. This one is tricky. It's a tear-jerker, so she'll be crying and looking to you for support... and to see your reaction. If you're crying she might think you're either a sensitive soul, or a complete weenie. Too tough to call.

• Pride - 1970's inner-city youths and their coach learn pride and earn redemption through competitive swimming. Yes. Swimming. (I thought the same thing, but it's based on a true story, so...) It's the same underdog formula you've seen a hundred times before. Terrence Howard as the swim coach is excellent, but he's no Denzel, and this is no Remember the Titans.
Date Index - 3 out of 5. It is about sports (kind of), and has Bernie Mac in it, so you'll be able sit through it for the most part. She gets to see young, ripped, inner-city teens in Speedos.
