    2. '28 Days'

    Sony Pictures Home EntertainmentNot to be confused with the Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later, 28 Days finds Sandra Bullock playing

Althoughshe's initially resistant to the program, Bullock eventually sees the light and admits to herself shehas a problem that won't go away without help.

    3. 'Infamous'

    Warner Home VideoAlthough Capote beatInfamous to the punch, entering theaters beforeInfamous and garnering allthe awards recognition,Infamous is actually the better film of the two - in my opinion. Bothmovies follow author Truman Capote as he researches the Clutter family murder for his bookIn

    5. 'The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood'

    Warner Home VideoA film that's almost the very definition of chick flick (and I don't find that a derogatory term atall), this tale of Southern life and dysfunctional family relationships benefits from a talentedensemble cast that includes Bullock, Ashley Judd, Ellen Burstyn, James Garner, Shirley Knight,Maggie Smith and Fionnula Flanagan.More on 'The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood'

    mother's semi-open arms. Harry Connick Jr. plays Justin, a former schoolmate of Birdee's whoopens her heart to the prospect of a new love.

    7. 'While You Were Sleeping'

    Buena Vista Home EntertainmentI absolutely love this film. It's a feel-good movie with enough lighthearted comedy to keep itfrom being maudlin. Sandra Bullock thinks she's in love with a man she's never really met, andafter rescuing him from almost being run over by a train, his family mistakenly believes she's his

    fiancee. While he's in a coma, she finds true love in the form of his brother.

Though thefilm briefly suggests racial tensions at the interracial vocational high school where the movie isset, it prefers to pursue a purely nostalgic story line instead. Over the course of the film, thefilmmakers run through a number of good-natured, humorous anecdotes about growing upduring the late '50s. It's an entertaining, if slight, film that features a fine performance by DavidKnight as the film's narrator. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi
