(1. Lady in the Water. It's directed by M. Night Shyamalan and stars Bryce Dallas Howard [you might have seen her as the blind girl on "The Village"] and Paul Giamatti. This movie is now on DVD. Here is the plot from IMDB.com:
Apartment building superintendent Cleveland Heep (Giamatti) rescues what he thinks is a young woman (Howard) from the pool he maintains. When he discovers that she is actually a character from a bedtime story who is trying to make the journey back to her home, he works with his tenants to protect his new friend from the creatures that are determined to keep her in our world.
Trivia: The plot of the movie is based on a bedtime story M. Night Shyamalan wrote for his kids.
(2. Eragon. Among the cast is Jeremy Irons, Sienna Guillory, John Malkovich, and new-comer Edward Speleers who stars. I've heard many not-so-good things about this movie but I still want to see it!
Plot: In his homeland of Alagaesia, a farm boy happens upon a dragon's egg -- a discovery that leads him on a predestined journey where he realized he's the one person who can defend his home against an evil king.
Trivia: Christopher Paolini, author of the original novel, expressed his wishes to make a cameo appearance in the film, specifically a warrior who is beheaded in the battle of Farthen Dur. However, he was unable to due to the constraints of his European Book Tour.
