Orson Welles' masterwork (#1 in the American Film Institute's list of Best American Movies) dazzles anew in a superb 70th-anniversary digital transfer. It's grand entertainment, sharply acted (starting many of Welles' Mercury Players on the road to thriving film careers) and directed with inspired visual flair. Chronicling the stormy life of an influential publishing tycoon, this Best Original Screenplay Academy Award winner (1941) is rooted in themes of power, corruption, vanity -- the American Dream lost in the mystery of a dying man's last word: "Rosebud."

In this wildly outrageous romantic comedy, high-flying Wall Street wonder boy Ryan Turner (Charlie Sheen) has it all: a gorgeous girlfriend, a fabulous apartment, good looks and a bright career. He just can't lose -- until he gets a bum stock tip and suddenly his world comes crashing down. Out of a job, and knowing a thing or two about women, Ryan secretly writes his (now) ex-girlfriend Cindy's (Denise Richards) advice column, Ask Cindy -- with disastrous results. On the verge of getting fired by the newspaper editor, Page (Angie Harmon), Turner turns to his plastic surgeon buddy Barry (Jon Lovitz) for help. Once a boorish, insensitive guy, he transforms the column, and himself, in to a winner of hearts and minds- including his ex-girlfriend's editor, Page. A delightful romp, you'll love this romantic comedy of identity.
