Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat is a 2003 live-action film, based on the 1957 book, produced by Universal Studios, DreamWorks Pictures, and Imagine Entertainment. It was produced by Brian Grazer and directed by Bo Welch; it starred Mike Myers as the title role of the Cat in the Hat, and Dakota Fanning as Sally. Sally's brother, who is not named in the book, is known in this version as "Conrad" and played by Spencer Breslin. While the basic plot of the live-action adaptation of The Cat in the Hat rotates around the same as that of the book, the film filled out its 82 minutes by adding new subplots and characters quite different from those of the original story. As a result of the frequent adult themes, the widow of Theodore Geisel (who holds the rights to his work) declared that there are to be no more live-action movies based on the works of Dr. Seuss; arguing that the film has clearly deviated from her late husband's family-friendly work.

Addicted to Love is a 1997 romantic comedy film, directed by Griffin Dunne. It is intended to be a humorous love story. The movie's title is based on Robert Palmer's song "Addicted to Love". In reality, it is at some points dark comedy, full of bitterness and pain, and at selective others, it is the traditional, sweet romantic comedy for which Meg Ryan, who plays the part of Maggie, is known.
The story seems simple: Two pairs of lovers playing out a comedy of errors, in which Maggie and Sam, Matthew Broderick's character, try several unethical and nasty tricks to break apart the envied union of their respective former partners, Anton and Linda, played by Tchéky Karyo and Kelly Preston.
However, the film was crippled by very harsh reviews. Chicago Sun-Times film critic Roger Ebert panned it as immature, implausible, and imbecilic, but still gave it two stars out of a possible five.[1]He did not go as far as the Los Angeles Times' Kevin Thomas, who called it creepy and said:

Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn is a 1983 science fiction movie starring Jeffrey Byron, Michael Preston, Tim Thomerson, Kelly Preston and Richard Moll. It was directed and produced by Charles Band who is possibly better known for his other, rather low-budget scifi and horror films such as The Puppet Master and Trancers series. Parts of Metalstorm were shown in 3-D. There are two versions of this film, the shorter theatrical version, and the rare "extended version" with a voiceover at the beginning helping explain some of the story's back history, and containing extended scenes.
The story was portrayed as a space-age western which combined themes of esoteric sorcery and high technology. Critics have pointed out that the title, "...the Destruction of Jared-Syn", makes little sense since the villain is never destroyed and actually gets away in the end.
Tagline: "It's high noon at the end of the universe."
The movie portrays the story of a space ranger named Dogen, (played by...,
