The Latest in Theaters: The Boys of Summer

Summer is winding down, but this week's new releases have plenty of hot leading men to keep you warm:

- The Nanny Diaries: "It" girl (Scarlett Johansson), meet "It" boy (Chris Evans). From the creators of American Splendor, this romantic comedy co-stars Laura Linney, Paul Giamatti and Alicia Keyes.

- War: I don't know how this actioner -- starring Jason Statham vs. Jet Li -- slipped by my radar. Perhaps it was that totally nondescript title? Co-stars John Lone and Six Feet Under's Matthew St. Patrick.

- The 11th Hour: A.k.a: Leonardo DiCaprio in An Inconvenient Truth, Part II.

- Resurrecting the Champ: Josh Hartnett is a green newspaper reporter who stumbles upon his "big story" in the form of Samuel L. Jackson's homeless man.

- Dedication: Ah, a romantic comedy about mismatched straight people ... never seen one of those. Mandy Moore and the prettier Billy Crudup star in the feature directing debut of Justin Theroux, another Six Feet Under alum.

- And finally: If you grow tired of all these hunks on display, you can always check out Rowan Atkinson and Willem Dafoe in Mr. Bean's Holiday.
