h, the last of the summer-movie previews is here. Check it out, film fans, and then go back to two or three weeks ago when we had even more. Sometimes I think reading about the summer's films is more fun than actually sitting through them.

Speaking of which, we've got reviews of several big summer movies. Naturally, there are "The Truman Show" reviews galore (and as a bonus, a look back at director Peter Weir's past films). Other critiques judge how well "Six Days, Seven Nights" adds up, take a whiff of Nick Broomfield's documentary spirit in "Kurt & Courtney," and even take a wide-eyed view of an IMAX picture. Check the contents above and below and you'll agree -- there's plenty to see here.
