Collateral -- After a couple of historical entries (Ali, The Insider), Michael Mann refines the mean streets of L.A. once more with stripped-down, street-savvy results. The acting's solid, and the digital video landscapes are gorgeously dreamlike. With Tom Cruise, Jamie Foxx, Jada Pinkett Smith, Mark Ruffalo and Javier Bardem. (RP) Rated: R
Little Black Book -- Quirky, verbal romantic comedy with a lot on its mind about trust in relationships, especially trust in one's own instincts. Brittany Murphy's bubbly as a smalltime talk show assistant, but the dark beating heart is a fierce, non-careerist Holly Hunter, embodied as only she could do it. With Ron Livingston and Kathy Bates.(RP) Rated: PG-13
