From The Movie Snob:

The Stepford Wives (D). Faithful readers of the Movie Court are well aware that the Movie Snob is a big fan of Nicole Kidman. Let it be said, not everything she touches turns to gold. This movie was B-O-R-I-N-G! If it was supposed to be a comedy, it was terribly unfunny. If it was supposed to be a thriller, it was terribly unsuspenseful. If it was supposed to be a trenchant piece of social commentary, it was just terrible. You know the story -- a family moves to the picture-perfect town of Stepford, Connecticut, where all the women of the town are perfect: they're beautiful, they're avid housekeepers, and they adore their husbands to a sickening degree. What is the secret? Is it something in the water? If you're curious now, you won't be by the time the secret is revealed in this dog.

Coral Reef Adventure (B-). A nice IMAX movie about the coral reefs of the South Pacific. Nice underwater photography, nice message about how fragile the coral ecosystems are, just a nice movie. Hopefully somebody has done something about the one coral reef that was dead or dying in the movie.

Shrek 2 (B-). The Movie Snob can't add much to the ink that's already been spilled about this movie. It had some humorous moments, but I didn't think it was as good as the first one.
