I'll be seeing Holes and definitely Identity. Identity looks like a real sleeper to me (then again, it could really suck).

[Josh]

I really don't understand what holes is supposed to be about, but the preview is terrible and so are the posters :(

[Arctic]

i agree the preview for holes looks awful, though the story itself is supposed to be pretty humorous.

the preview for identity looks fantastic. it irked me when they postphoned it last month. i'm really looking forward to seeing it.

all in all not many book-movies coming out this month.

Hope Springs is almost definitely slated to be moved to the fall or winter. "(3/7/03) There had been unconfirmed reports that Touchstone might be releasing this on April 4th, but it appears they're looking for a date later in the year (or maybe even in 2004) after the U.K. opening."

Holes was a great book. But yeah, the movie looks terrible. It's about a kid (Stanley Yelnats) who gets put into almost a concentration camps for criminal boys. Guess what they do? Dig Holes. It's actually a lot more interesting than it sounds. I just don't remember what happens.
