SYNOPSIS: In 1880 Luis Antonio Vagas (Antonio Banderas) arrives in humid and exuberant coast of Santiago de Cuba, bringing with him a passanger that will change the life of this man forever.

Besides from enjoying all the richness and respect from all high society, Luis still yearns for somebody to share his life and richness...until one day receives a letter from a young lady: Julia Russel (Angelina Jolie) from Wilmington, Delaware, who responded from an add that he had published in a newspaper from Baltimore saying: "Looking Long-Distance Wife." The same day that they meet in the harbor of Santiago, the two stranger join in marriage despite the skeptisism from friends and associates of Luis. But Luis believes more in companionship more so than love. What he wants is a very good "wife;" a stable and kind woman who will bring upon support.

Luis gets a big surprise when he encounters a beautiful and sensual woman, who resembles not so much her own image which she had sent with the letter. Julia explained that she had decided to send a picture of her sister, because she didn't want a man only interested in her beauty. Luis, also confessed that he had written in the letter that he was just a worker at the coffee plant [which he is the owner of] to avoid women only getting interested in his money.

At first only marriage unites them, but little by little desire and passion sets in. The more Luis gets near Julia, more enigmatic she becomes. With time more contradictions come up about what she had written in the letter and things she says during intimacy; her terrible nightmares, her questionable scars in her back, and the coffin that remains closed.

Mistery grows even more when Luis meets Walter Downs (Thomas Jane), a private investigator from the U.S., paid by Julia's worried sister, who's apperance in the island threatens to invade and destroy the almost-perfect happiness that the couple have created in their new life together.

To Luis, loneliness takes him to love, which in turn lead to passion and breaks all reason. Both him and Julia become tangeled in a torturous and dangerous dance that take them both across the parts of Cuba until they reach obsession, eroticness, deceptions...and maybe, murder.

SYNOPSIS: In 1967, after a session with a psychiatrist she'd never seen before, Susanna Kaysen (Winona Ryder) was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder - an affliction with symptoms so ambiguous almost any adolescent girl might qualify - and sent to a renowned New England psychiatric hospital where she spent the next two years in a ward for teenage girls. There, Susanna loses herself in an OZ-like nether world of seductive and disturbed young women: among them Lisa (Angelina Jolie), a charming sociopath who stages a disastrous escape with Susanna, Daisy (Brittany Murphy), a pampered girl with a predilection for rotisserie chicken, and Polly, a remarkably kind burn victim. Ultimately, assisted by the hospital's head psychiatrist, Dr. Wick (Vanessa Redgrave), and a no-nonsense ward nurse, Valerie (Whoopi Goldberg), Susanna, like Dorothy, resolves to leave this Oz and reclaim her life. GIRL INTERRUPTED, from the searing bestseller, questions the boundaries between confinement and freedom, friendship and betrayal, and madness and sanity at a time when it seemed the whole world might be going crazy.

SYNOPSIS: After his release from prison for a murder he didn't commit, Johnny (Mekhi Phifer) is confronted by the dead boy's sister Gloria (Angelina Jolie). Meanwhile, having witnessed the killing and fingered Johnny for it, Patty (Johnny Whitworth) is asked by Gloria to kill Johnny, but instead falls into a drug-addled stupor with Gloria's mother Liz (Rosanna Arquette). Oddly, for someone trained at the Actors' Studio Cinciripini has no sense of delicacy with any of his talent, and as a result the movie is less performed than bellowed (although it looks good). The one note of modulation is provided by William Forsythe as Lou, the ex-boxer for whom Johnny works at the 37th Street horse stables.

SYNOPSIS: In the city of Los Angeles, various individuals try to ascertain what will make them happy in their current or possible future relationships. Meredith (GILLIAN ANDERSON), a socially shy theater director, doesn't know how to respond to the advances made by Trent (JON STEWART), an architect who meets her after a bookcase falls on top of her. Joan (ANGELINA JOLIE), a struggling actress who's just acrimoniously broken up with her live- in boyfriend, meets Keenan (RYAN PHILLIPPE), a blue-haired club hopper who mysteriously refuses her obvious advances toward him, thus peaking her interest and causing her to try harder. On the other hand, Gracie (MADELEINE STOWE), who's having an affair with Roger (ANTHONY EDWARDS), wants nothing more than casual, noncommital sex out of their adulterous relationship. Meanwhile, an older married couple, Hannah (GENA ROWLANDS) and Paul (SEAN CONNERY), who produce a cooking show on which Hannah stars, try to cope with the revelation that he was in love with someone else twenty-five years earlier, while an apparently pathological liar, Hugh (DENNIS QUAID), bar hops and blurts out drunken tales of misery and woe to anyone who'll listen. Finally, there's Mildred (ELLEN BURSTYN), a concerned and distraught mother who's come to the bedside of her sick and dying gay son, Mark (JAY MOHR). As these seemingly disparate people try to make sense of their lives, events soon transpire that show their troubles and lives aren't exactly unrelated.

SYNOPSIS: There are bad feelings between two Italian families who run competing Italian restaurants in the Bronx, and those relations don't improve when one family's son (Nathaniel Marston) and the other's daughter ("Hackers'" Angelina Jolie) fall in love during a production of the Shakespeare classic. Unwisely, Bologna and Taylor keep the focus of attention on the disputing adults (Bologna happens to play one of them, while Taylor portrays a goofy psychic) and away from the romantic couple. Lots of lame humor and uncomic contention ensue as the acting corps make sure never to let slip a chance to overplay their parts, making their turns as big and bangly as the bad jewelry and neo-'70s attire the women and men sport here. A closing sign of trouble: Though bearing a 1996 copyright at its end, the film has opening credits boast it "introduces" Angelina Jolie, who now has two major screen credits on her c.v. A strange film to be coming from art-houser Goldwyn, "Love Is All There Is" might prove a fitfully pleasant diversion for undemanding senior citizens and the Lawrence Welk crowd.
