Quickly forgotten in theaters, In Her Shoes starring Cameron Diaz, Toni Collette and Shirley MacLaine—as they have never been seen—is a soap opera with a touch of class from director Curtis Hanson (8 Mile, L.A. Confidential). It's out on DVD. Susannah Grant

Universal Pictures' Curious George, based on the brightly illustrated children's books by Margret and H.A. Rey, is innocuous, slow and far from perfect. But, despite being saddled with too many writers and the crude and mediocre Will Ferrell, director Matthew O'Callaghan manages to convey the title character's inquisitive essence. Drew Barrymore

Q. Why do some movies like 'Brokeback Mountain' have their daily box office stats marked as 'estimate,' while other movies have official totals listed down to the dollar? Is something fishy going on with the reporting of these figures?

With a trio of movies, writer and illustrator Chris Van Allsburg's best-selling children's stories have attracted Hollywood's top talent, from Robin Williams and Bonnie Hunt in Jumanji to his latest effort, director Jon Favreau's Zathura, now available on DVD. Van Allsburg talked about those experiences, The Polar Express and his many books in an exclusive interview by telephone from his New England home. Sherry LansingTom HanksRobert Zemeckis

The weekend following the Academy Award nominations saw a low brow genre picture dominate as the Best Picture nominees floundered, while overall business was two percent higher than the comparable frame last year. Sanaa LathanAng LeeGeorge ClooneySteven Spielberg

The interracial romantic comedy, Something New, is like a cocktail party with several juicy moments. Taking on an affair between a black woman and a white man, director Sanaa Hamri and writer Kriss Truner have carefully navigated the minefield of black middle class guilt, and that they make it through alive is some sort of miracle.

Marching into 30 markets, Munich ended the five-week foreign reign of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. The Steven Spielberg drama uncovered $14.9 million over the weekend. Jim CarreyJodie Foster

Burbank, California—It's hard to say when it was decided to schedule a vacation at Disneyland. A year of pictures dominated by apes, lions and burning flesh—and those were just the kids' movies—probably had something to do with it. In any case, it was time to celebrate Disneyland's golden anniversary in style.

A recent four-night stay at Disneyland proves that this rich, glorious theme park, celebrating its 50th anniversary from now until 2007, is best enjoyed as a planned excursion, not as a whim. Steven SpielbergGeorge Lucas

Disneyland spokesman Tim O'Day, hired as a parade performer in 1976 and knowledgeable about virtually every Disneyland detail, is practically the grand marshal of the theme park's rich history, including its integration to motion pictures. The co-author of Disneyland: Then, Now and Forever talked with Box Office Mojo about the Happiest Place on Earth.

Two pictures featuring lead actors buried in make-up to play grotesque nannies popped out ahead of industry expectations, while a small movie drummed up publicity for its simultaneous release in theaters, on DVD and on TV to little avail. Overall business was two percent ahead of the same weekend last year. Martin LawrenceEmma ThompsonJames FrancoPierce BrosnanSteven Soderbergh

Deprived of water and war, the United States Navy themed Annapolis is lacking what one associates with the Navy, substituting boxing for a more substantial tribute to the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. But it manages to get the job done. James FrancoRichard Gere

Writer and actress Emma Thompson does what she can in the title role of the children's fairy tale Nanny McPhee, a puff piece which Miss Thompson adapted from the Nurse Matilda books. The movie, directed by Kirk Jones (Waking Ned Devine), tries too hard, and it is not the bucket of fun it strives to be, but enough plot and sturdy characters give it a boost. Imelda Staunton

Extending its foreign reign to five consecutive weekends, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe snared $13.3 million over the weekend, lifting its overall total to $342.6 million. Jim Carrey

Underworld: Evolution emerged with $26.9 million at 3,207 theaters. Distributed by Sony's genre division, Screen Gems, the action horror sequel out-gunned the $21.8 million start of the first Underworld. Kate Beckinsale

Albert Brooks's latest motion picture, Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World, finds more than a few laughs, especially early in the movie. Mr. Brooks is among the funniest people working in pictures—writing, directing and starring—and, though Looking is as spotty as everything else he's done, it's better than most of what they're calling comedy today.

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe was once again the top draw overseas, grossing $22.7 million over the weekend for a $321.5 million total. With Japan and Hong Kong still ahead, the family fantasy should ultimately soar past $400 million. Peter JacksonJim Carrey

Director Lasse Hallström spoke to Box Office Mojo about his first full-fledged comedy, the Venetian romp Casanova, starring Heath Ledger as the famous lover, and his career during a telephone interview from New York. Having recently shot Hoax, with Richard Gere, the director of Chocolat, What's Eating Gilbert Grape and The Cider House Rules was plainspoken, answering charges that his movies are too sentimental, denouncing the New Puritanism and offering praise for Robert Redford and Tobey Maguire.
