'The Life of David Gale'
![Alan Parker, the director of the death-penalty drama "The Life of David Gale," likes his acting big, his edits hard and his stories slick. A filmmaker with a penchant for highbrow material and an instinct for lowbrow thrills, Parker is a consummate journeyman and a relentless huckster (like a number of major British directors, he started in advertising), and it's a rare one of his movies that doesn't entertain. Even when they're as deadly serious as Parker's earlier prison-house thriller "Midnight Express" or "Mississippi Burning," his revisionist take on the civil-rights movement, these are films in which no one and nothing is beyond exploitation.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2003-02/6692623.jpg "Alan Parker, the director of the death-penalty drama "The Life of David Gale,\" likes his acting big, his edits hard and his stories slick.

'Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist'
!["If at first you don't succeed, try, try again" may be advice film producers would be wise to ignore. After sinking a reported $40 million into a Paul Schrader-directed prequel to the 1973 horror hit "The Exorcist," Morgan Creek Chief Executive James Robinson shelved that version and brought in director Renny Harlin — known as much for his duds ("Cutthroat Island," "Mindhunters") as his hits ("Die Hard 2," "Cliffhanger") — to reshoot it at considerable expense. Harlin's film, titled "Exorcist: The Beginning," was released last August to poor reviews and negligible box office.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2005-05/17647785.jpg ""If at first you don't succeed, try, try again\" may be advice film producers would be wise to ignore.

'A Lot Like Love'
![With realistic dialogue and no far-fetched misunderstandings, 'A Lot Like Love' bucks the genre considerably.If in fact it were true that modern life doesn't provide the obstacles that make for decent barriers to romance, then finding love would be as glitch-free as a smooth slide into bitterness. But the disappearance of traditional obstacles has only led to a rise in creative barricading. We have DIY love problems now, and Nigel Cole's "A Lot Like Love," written by Colin Patrick Lynch, has the decency to acknowledge them and deem them sufficient.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2005-04/17245959.jpg "With realistic dialogue and no far-fetched misunderstandings, 'A Lot Like Love' bucks the genre considerably.If in fact it were true that modern life doesn't provide the obstacles that make for decent barriers to romance, then finding love would be as glitch-free as a smooth slide into bitterness.
