Intolerable Cruelty Nov. 26 - 29 .26,27,28.-7:30p.m.; 29 - 2:30 p.m., 7:30 p.m. (2003) Moviegoers looking for a conventional romantic comedy starring Catherine Zeta-Jones and George Clooney may have walked out of Intolerable Cruelty a bit bewildered. Devotees of the Coen Brothers' off-center ocuvre, however, are calling their newest film the best thing since The Big Lebowski. This delightfully acerbic screwball comedy features Clooney as a bored Beverly Hills divorce lawyer ooking for a challenge, when the gorgeous and calculating Catherine Zeta-Jones appears as the wronged wife of his client. It won't be giv- ng away too much lo say that the plot involves a giant poodle, a hit man named Wheezy Joe, and George Clooney in a kilt giving Mel Gibson a run for his money. 100 min. ' "' V Anything Else Nov. 28 : 29 9:40 p.m. ' (2003) Woody Allen plugs into the angst of young New Yorkers with an anti-romantic comedy starring Jason Biggs (of American Pie lame) as an aspiring comedy writer, and Christina Ricci as his spec- tacularly ncurolic girlfriend. Allen's updated Manhattan still looks fan- tastic, but just like his comedy, it's a little more dangerous. Just imag- ine Allen in the role of Jason Biggs' doubtful mentor; a gruff anti-intel- lectual who advises his protege to forget about love and buy a gun.
