The Da Vinci Code (PG-13); The murder of a curator at the Louvre reveals a sinister plot to uncover a secret that has been protected since the days of Christ.

Over the Hedge (PG); A tale centering around a mischievous con-artist raccoon named R.J. and a sensitive turtle named Verne. When R.J., Verne and their woodland friends find a suburban housing development encroaching on their forest home, Verne's first instinct is to retreat into his shell and leave. But the ever-opportunistic R.J. sees a treasure trove to be had from his unsuspecting new neighbors. Together, Verne and R.J. form an unlikely friendship as they learn to co-exist with--and even exploit--this strange new world called suburbia. Starring: Bruce Willis, Garry Shandling, William Shatner, Wanda Sykes, Nick Nolte

The basic sources of happiness are a good heart, compassion, and love. If we have these mental attitudes, even if we are surrounded by hostility, we feel little disturbance. On the other hand, if we lack compassion and our mental state is filled with anger or hatred we will not have peace. ~ His Holiness the Dalai Lama ¶ 5/19/2006 03:57:00 AM
