MAKING OF THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA
Yes, we realise there's something odd about watching the making of a movie that hasn't come out yet but this should excite the fashionista in you - or at least the bitch. Meryl Streep is Miranda Priestly, the ruthless New York fashion editor who makes life hell for her assistant (Anne Hathaway).

ICE AGE
Herald rating: * * * *
Fun animated feature, albeit woolly in parts, is set at the start of the Ice Age, with quarrelling animals trying to return a human baby to its parents. Frequent interludes with Scrat, the sabre-toothed squirrel, keeps the story from dragging. (2000).
8.30PM, TV2.
EVIL WOMAN
Herald rating: * * *
Steve Zahn and Jack Black play Wayne and JD, pals and Neil Diamond fanatics who plot to keep their friend Darren (Jason Biggs) from marrying the wrong woman (Amanda Peet). From Happy Gilmore director Dennis Dugan, it's stupid but consistently funny. (2001)

MADAGASCAR
Herald rating: * * * *
Animal pals escape from New York's Central Park Zoo with the intention of going back to the wild, but are washed up on an island off the coast of Africa. Good animated comedy with plenty of movie references. (2005)

LOST IN TRANSLATION
Herald rating: * * * *
Bill Murray plays Bob Harris, an actor past his use-by date who still makes a good living in Japan where he appears in whisky commercials. While staying at a plush Tokyo hotel he meets Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson), the young wife of a visiting photographer, who like him is passing time in the house bar. They're both in a state of limbo. Charlotte is already unsettled in her new marriage and Bob barely copes with his long-distance one. They form a bond and share experiences in Tokyo, where cultural and language differences between themselves and the Japanese, as well as the walls of the hotel itself, reflect their feelings of isolation and imprisonment. A warm and gentle film from writer-director Sofia Coppola, who wrote the lead role specifically for Bill Murray. Coppola later said that if Murray had turned it down she wouldn't have made the movie. (2003)
