The last time Dylan Thomas was in a film might have been "Dangerous Minds," when Michelle Pfeiffer taught all the hoodlums to read. Now he may get his legitimate due in a biopic from writer/director Mick Davis. Inspired by Thomas's play "Under Milk Wood," Davis's vision is a tad avant-garde.

The leftfield winner of the Palme D?Or at Cannes, "The Wind That Shakes the Barley" tells the story of a group of Irish Republican Army members during the heady moments when Ireland was on the cusp of independence from Britain.

Critical Consensus: "Red Eye," "The 40 Year-Old Virgin" Soar
This week at the movies brings four studies in aviation. What happens when you're trapped on a plane with a creepy seatmate? (See "Red Eye.") Is it ever too late for Cupid's arrows to take flight?

Isn't it cool when those Supercross dudes, like, totally go up in the air, and like, for a few seconds, y'know, it looks like they're, like, flying? (Ahem?."Supercross: The Movie.") And most important of all: which of these flicks will fly with the critics?
