Ellie Parker

Changing clothes, applying makeup, and experimenting with various dialects in her car while on the way from one audition to the next, Ellie eagerly transforms herself at a moment's notice for the chance of getting a role. When Ellie finds out that her loser boyfriend is cheating on her, she seeks solace in her best friend and fellow actress, Sam, and an equally hapless new love interest, Chris. Through chaotic and unrewarding auditions, hilarious acting exercises, therapy sessions, and messy one-night-stands, Ellie makes misguided but funny attempts to find herself in as dramatic a way as possible.

Birds Of America

As a young adult, Morrie Tanager (Matthew Perry of Friends notoriety) witnessed the death of his emotionally unstable mother and father. In the process, he inherited his similarly volatile younger siblings: Jay (Ben Foster) and Ida (Ginnifer Goodwin). While becoming a single parent at any age is difficult, it was especially troublesome for Morrie, who raised Ida and Jay while completing an undergraduate and graduate degree. His hard work eventually earned him a teaching position at a local university; he continues to reside in his childhood home, alongside caring wife Betty (Lauren Graham). Jay and Ida, on the other hand, still struggle to find their purposes in life. Ida is an aspiring photographer, but spends more time sleeping with strange men than snapping pictures. Jay weaves in and out of mental institutions, and literally steals from the rich to give to the poor. Morrie is forced to supervise Jay after authorities find him laying in the middle of a highway, attempting to commit suicide. With Jay's homecoming Ida quickly follows, much to the chagrin of Betty who is already overwhelmed by the former's presence. Both Morrie and his wife are incredibly image conscious, walking each step carefully in front of university bigwig neighbor and colleague, Paul (Gary Wilmes). Paul's good (or bad) word to school administration will determine whether or not Morrie receives tenure, and subsequently if Betty can begin her dream family with financial security. For years Morrie has successfully kept his turbulent past and dysfunctional siblings separate from his professional life. With his brother and sister present 24 hours a day however, the professor may lose his cool and an impeccable reputation in the process. Despite Jay and Ida being a burden, Morrie does truly love both -- and in the end struggles for their well being not just his own. Rating: Rated R due to explicit language, some sexuality, and brief drug use.

Her new life is a constant barrage of pomp and circumstance, which baffles the otherwise ordinary teenager. While love has nothing to do with the union between Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI, producing an offspring does. Unfortunately, Louis XVI shows no interest in having a physical relationship with his willing wife. Instead, Marie Antoinette begins to embrace her life of royalty, biding her time by shopping and partying and living the life of a spoiled teenager. As time passes, Louis XVI works out his problems and soon the couple has begun to bear children. But eventually, the impoverished French people become fed up with the disparity of wealth between the royal family and the average Frenchman, unleashing a revolt that would change the course of history forever.

The Spiderwick Chronicles

After his parents underwent a turbulent separation, Jared Grace (Freddie Highmore) and mom Helen (Mary-Louise Parker) left their native New York and moved to her deceased father's dilapidated mansion. Once property of her aunt, Helen inherited the home but had no use for it until recently. It needs some work, but is suitable to live in. Jared is not very excited about relocating to the Spiderwick Estate and would prefer New York City's fast-paced environment and the company of his father. Instead his twin brother Simon (also portrayed by Highmore) and fencing-obsessed sister, Mallory (Sarah Bolger) join him. Shortly after arrival Jared and his siblings discover an old fashioned dumb waiter. None of the kids are sure exactly where it goes, and neither Simon nor Mallory are courageous enough to find out. Jared, on the other hand, enthusiastically jumps onto the small elevator and rides it to its destination. It turns out that the shaft is a pathway to their grandfather's hidden study and, judging by the room's appearance, no one has entered it in years. Jared explores the room and notices an intriguing book with a note affixed, warning potential readers not to open it. Like any inquisitive young boy he immediately rips the note off to take a peak. With the warning removed the title is revealed: A Field Guide to the Fantastical World Around, a guidebook written by Jared's granddad, Arthur Spiderwick (David Strathairn) prior to his disappearance 80 years ago. Unwittingly, Jared has just removed the guide from its protected place and initiated a battle between the seen and unseen. Amongst the unseen are goblins, ogres, and trolls with varying shapes, sizes, and dispositions. Some like Thimbletack (Martin Short) are harmless and good-natured. Others, namely Mulgrath (Nick Nolte) and his goblin soldiers are pure, unadulterated evil. For years Mulgrath dreamed of world domination. Without Grandfather Arthur's field guide, however, the ogre has never possessed the knowledge necessary to do so. Now only one young boy prevents the ogre from moving forward, and he is incapable of defending the book alone. But with a little help from Helen, Simon, Mallory and his invisible friends Jared might just save the world after all. The Spiderwick Chronicles is based upon the identically titled series of children's books penned by Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black. At the box office the picture garnered close to $163 million in ticket sales internationally; DVD and Blu-ray sales were similarly brisk and earned an additional of $27 million of revenue. With both figures combined the film recuperated twice its $90 million production cost. Rating: Rated PG for scary creature action and violence, peril, and some thematic elements.

Clueless

Cher (Alicia Silverstone) and Dionne (Stacey Dash), both named after "great singers of the past that now do infomercials," are pampered upper-class girls who care less about getting good grades than wearing the right clothes and being as popular as possible. But Cher, who lives with her tough yet warm-hearted lawyer dad (Dan Hedaya) and hunky, sensitive stepbrother (Paul Rudd), also has an innate urge to help those less fortunate -- like the two introverted teachers she brings together ("negotiating" herself improved grades in the process) and new friend Tai (Brittany Murphy), who starts out a geek and ends up a Cher prodigy. Cher also possesses her own sensitive side, and she is looking for the perfect boyfriend, whom she ends up finding where she least expected.

The Fountain

The Fountain focuses on the complications of love and mortality, as six different characters from three separate eras attempt to cure the ultimate disease, death itself. The six roles are not entirely independent however: the leading male and female in each period is an extension of a single, eternal search for everlasting romance. In fact, the male and female characters’ names respectively remain similar in each stage of the film; likewise, the same actors, Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz portray the two primary lovers for each generation. First viewers are transported to 16th century Spain, where Tomas is a solider fighting for Queen Isabella against her rival, Silecio during the Spanish Inquisition. Despite Silecio’s fierceness, Tomas positions himself to seamlessly assassinate the Queen’s foe. Before he does so, however, a lower officer delivers a message from Isabella, commanding him to begin another mission instead. Tomas’ new mission requires him to travel to Central America, then home of the ancient Mayans. There, he will use a map provided by Isabella to locate the Tree of Life – which is the key to immortality. With it, the Queen can not only defeat Silecio, but also hold her throne indefinitely. The film’s second story takes place in contemporary times. Tomas is now Tommy Creo, an oncologist researching a very promising cure for cancer, which just happens to involve a compound derived from a Guatemalan tree similar to Isabella’s prized Tree of Life. Tommy’s interest in discovering a cure is motivated by his own wife’s battle with the disease, and his dream of saving her from an untimely death. Lastly viewers are taken approximately a half-millennium into the future, where Tommy is now simply Tom – an astronaut. In his ship he keeps the Tree of Life, slowly consuming its sap to stay alive. He remains in search of his deceased wife and refuses to accept the necessity of death. By the picture’s end, however, Tom will realize that death is not an end, but a new beginning. Rating: Rated PG-13 for some intense sequences of violent action, some sensuality and explicit language.

What Just Happened

Ben (Robert De Niro) is a renowned Hollywood producer struggling to get his upcoming film, 'Fiercely' past studio execs and onto the big screen. During a test screening audiences were extremely troubled by the picture's closing scene, one in which the lead antagonist (Sean Penn, as himself) and his dog are shot – a supposed carnal sin amongst filmmakers that usually results in a work's critical and commercial failure. Ben and his cunning British director, Jeremy Brunell (Michael Wincott) thinks otherwise however, and pray that the movie's final cut can evade the studio's potentially unmerciful editing. In the meantime Ben is just a week away from filming his latest project, featuring action superstar Bruce Willis. Much to Ben and the studio's chagrin, Willis has developed an affinity for facial hair, and insists upon sporting his unkempt beard on celluloid. The picture's financial backer insists that he shave, or else the project will be canceled. After the leading man sacked his agent, Dick Bell (John Turturro) for advising him to comply, Ben walks on eggshells while attempting to change Willis' mind, but he only has a short time to do so. Juggling the aforementioned conflicts is trouble enough, but Ben faces further devastation upon discovering that his ex-wife, Kelly (Robin Wright) has shacked up with screenwriter Scott Solomon (Stanley Tucci). Coincidentally, Ben is currently producing a film based upon Scott's screenplay. In parallel he struggles with a daughter from yet another marriage, Zoe (Kristen Stewart) whose personal problems could be copied verbatim from an episode of Beverly Hills 90210. Amidst all of this What Just Happened pokes fun at life and business in Tinseltown, simultaneously critiquing its money hungry culture, which oftentimes stymies artists' creative output and fosters an environment ripe with dysfunction. Rating: Rated R for explicit language, some violence, sexual content, and drug use.

The Fountain

The Fountain focuses on the complications of love and mortality, as six different characters from three separate eras attempt to cure the ultimate disease, death itself. The six roles are not entirely independent however: the leading male and female in each period is an extension of a single, eternal search for everlasting romance. In fact, the male and female characters’ names respectively remain similar in each stage of the film; likewise, the same actors, Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz portray the two primary lovers for each generation. First viewers are transported to 16th century Spain, where Tomas is a solider fighting for Queen Isabella against her rival, Silecio during the Spanish Inquisition. Despite Silecio’s fierceness, Tomas positions himself to seamlessly assassinate the Queen’s foe. Before he does so, however, a lower officer delivers a message from Isabella, commanding him to begin another mission instead. Tomas’ new mission requires him to travel to Central America, then home of the ancient Mayans. There, he will use a map provided by Isabella to locate the Tree of Life – which is the key to immortality. With it, the Queen can not only defeat Silecio, but also hold her throne indefinitely. The film’s second story takes place in contemporary times. Tomas is now Tommy Creo, an oncologist researching a very promising cure for cancer, which just happens to involve a compound derived from a Guatemalan tree similar to Isabella’s prized Tree of Life. Tommy’s interest in discovering a cure is motivated by his own wife’s battle with the disease, and his dream of saving her from an untimely death. Lastly viewers are taken approximately a half-millennium into the future, where Tommy is now simply Tom – an astronaut. In his ship he keeps the Tree of Life, slowly consuming its sap to stay alive. He remains in search of his deceased wife and refuses to accept the necessity of death. By the picture’s end, however, Tom will realize that death is not an end, but a new beginning. Rating: Rated PG-13 for some intense sequences of violent action, some sensuality and explicit language.

A Cinderella Story

Sam Montgomery (Hilary Duff) lived the perfect Californian life. Her father, Hal (Whip Hubley) owned and operated a popular sports restaurant and loved his daughter dearly. Suddenly, however, Hal married Fiona (Jennifer Coolidge of American Pie notoriety), a superficial, cold-hearted woman with two children from a former marriage: Brianna (Madeline Zima) and Gabriella (Andrea Avery). Rather than embrace their new stepsister, Fiona's children became Sam's toughest adversaries. At school Brianna and Gabriella joined other students who mocked their stepsister, attempting to win the cool kids' admiration. Hal loved his daughter unconditionally however, even if Fiona was indifferent, and Sam managed to find solace in her father's presence. That ended abruptly though when Hal perished during an earthquake. Shortly after her husband's death Fiona remodeled the restaurant, replacing its sports motif with buckets of pink paint, essentially transforming it into a tacky teen hangout akin to 90210's Peach Pit. While profits from the diner allowed Fiona, Brianna, and Gabriella to live comfortably, it was at the sole expense of Sam, who labored both day and night as a waitress at the establishment. Due to Sam's non-stop work schedule at the restaurant, schoolmates nicknamed her 'Diner Girl.' Life outside of the diner was equally displeasuring. At home Sam reluctantly completed her stepsisters' homework and household chores – often at Fiona's insistence. To escape, she visited the local library and browsed the Internet, eventually meeting a local boy in a chat room. 'Nomad' refused to reveal his true identity, but described himself as an introspective guy pressured by his father and peers to personify the typical jock. And he did. Both teens were living in a world constructed by others, rather than themselves. Nomad and Sam eventually agree to meet at an upcoming school dance, in the middle of the gymnasium at 11 o'clock. The later wears a disguise; the former goes as is. To both Sam's delight and horror the mystery man is Austin Ames (Chad Michael Murray), the school's star quarterback and renowned ladies man. But before Austin can discover Sam's true identity she flees, convinced that the football champ will reject her. Can true love overpower peer pressure? A Cinderella Story earned more than $70 million at the box office, effortlessly recuperating its budget of $19 million. The picture earned two Teen Choice Awards in addition to eight other nominations. Its soundtrack, featuring tracks by Duff, the Goo Goo Dolls, and Mya reached number nine on the Billboard Top 200 chart. Rating: Rated PG for mildly explicit language and innuendo.

Beverly Hills seductress and career divorcee Marylin Rexroth is a greedy, yet sly gold digger with a highly successful track record. While Miles Massey is a divorce attorney whose renowned prenuptial agreements are airtight. Massey’s exemplary marriage contracts have never been disputed in court; in fact, they are considered nearly perfect, and used as study material at Harvard Law School. Although Massey has experienced unprecedented success throughout his career he refuses to fall victim to his own complacency. After countless legal victories, travels to various parts of the world, and fulfilling his material desires Massey longs for reinvigoration; he needs a new challenge, something that will reinforce his self-worth.

Luckily for Marylin, Gus captured the entire incident on videotape, and she believes her visual evidence will guarantee a settlement in her favour. Soon after the expose Mr. Rexroth seeks the counsel of Massey, who enthusiastically accepts the case and guarantees Rex a victory – no small feat considering that video evidence exists of his client’s affair. Yet this is precisely the challenge Massey has been seeking, and defeating Marylin will help him escape the shadows of middle-aged gloom.

Heinz reveals to the court that several years prior to the Roxroths’ marriage, Marylin sought his assistance in finding, “a husband who could be easily manipulated.” With this shocking revelation the case promptly ends in Rex’s favour, and Massey has triumphed once again. Yet the battle has not ended, unbeknownst to Massey. Marylin reappears soon after her defeat and seeks his assistance in drafting a new prenuptial agreement, this time with oil-rich husband Howard D.

A Cinderella Story

Sam Montgomery (Hilary Duff) lived the perfect Californian life. Her father, Hal (Whip Hubley) owned and operated a popular sports restaurant and loved his daughter dearly. Suddenly, however, Hal married Fiona (Jennifer Coolidge of American Pie notoriety), a superficial, cold-hearted woman with two children from a former marriage: Brianna (Madeline Zima) and Gabriella (Andrea Avery). Rather than embrace their new stepsister, Fiona's children became Sam's toughest adversaries. At school Brianna and Gabriella joined other students who mocked their stepsister, attempting to win the cool kids' admiration. Hal loved his daughter unconditionally however, even if Fiona was indifferent, and Sam managed to find solace in her father's presence. That ended abruptly though when Hal perished during an earthquake. Shortly after her husband's death Fiona remodeled the restaurant, replacing its sports motif with buckets of pink paint, essentially transforming it into a tacky teen hangout akin to 90210's Peach Pit. While profits from the diner allowed Fiona, Brianna, and Gabriella to live comfortably, it was at the sole expense of Sam, who labored both day and night as a waitress at the establishment. Due to Sam's non-stop work schedule at the restaurant, schoolmates nicknamed her 'Diner Girl.' Life outside of the diner was equally displeasuring. At home Sam reluctantly completed her stepsisters' homework and household chores – often at Fiona's insistence. To escape, she visited the local library and browsed the Internet, eventually meeting a local boy in a chat room. 'Nomad' refused to reveal his true identity, but described himself as an introspective guy pressured by his father and peers to personify the typical jock. And he did. Both teens were living in a world constructed by others, rather than themselves. Nomad and Sam eventually agree to meet at an upcoming school dance, in the middle of the gymnasium at 11 o'clock. The later wears a disguise; the former goes as is. To both Sam's delight and horror the mystery man is Austin Ames (Chad Michael Murray), the school's star quarterback and renowned ladies man. But before Austin can discover Sam's true identity she flees, convinced that the football champ will reject her. Can true love overpower peer pressure? A Cinderella Story earned more than $70 million at the box office, effortlessly recuperating its budget of $19 million. The picture earned two Teen Choice Awards in addition to eight other nominations. Its soundtrack, featuring tracks by Duff, the Goo Goo Dolls, and Mya reached number nine on the Billboard Top 200 chart. Rating: Rated PG for mildly explicit language and innuendo.

Intolerable Cruelty

Beverly Hills seductress and career divorcee Marylin Rexroth is a greedy, yet sly gold digger with a highly successful track record. While Miles Massey is a divorce attorney whose renowned prenuptial agreements are airtight. Massey’s exemplary marriage contracts have never been disputed in court; in fact, they are considered nearly perfect, and used as study material at Harvard Law School. Although Massey has experienced unprecedented success throughout his career he refuses to fall victim to his own complacency. After countless legal victories, travels to various parts of the world, and fulfilling his material desires Massey longs for reinvigoration; he needs a new challenge, something that will reinforce his self-worth. The challenge he seeks arrives in the form of a new client: Rex Rexroth. Rex is (unfortunately for him) the husband of Marylin Rexroth, who looks to divorce Rex after her private investigator, Gus Petch breaks into a hotel room and discovers her husband committing lewd acts with an unknown blonde. Luckily for Marylin, Gus captured the entire incident on videotape, and she believes her visual evidence will guarantee a settlement in her favour. Soon after the expose Mr. Rexroth seeks the counsel of Massey, who enthusiastically accepts the case and guarantees Rex a victory – no small feat considering that video evidence exists of his client’s affair. Yet this is precisely the challenge Massey has been seeking, and defeating Marylin will help him escape the shadows of middle-aged gloom. First, Massey meets with Freddy Bender, Mrs. Rexroth’s lawyer in an attempt to reach a settlement. Naturally, Marylin is convinced that she will usurp her husband in court once the video is presented, and feels no need to compromise. Massey, who is fascinated by Marylin accompanies her to dinner one evening, gathering as much information as possible. Meanwhile, Gus – formally contracted by Mrs. Rexroth, is now working for Massey, secretly photographing pages from her private diary. When the couple’s court date finally arrives Massey is prepared for victory. Cutting quickly to the chase, Massey calls Heinz, the Baron Krauss von Espy to the stand. Heinz reveals to the court that several years prior to the Roxroths’ marriage, Marylin sought his assistance in finding, “a husband who could be easily manipulated.” With this shocking revelation the case promptly ends in Rex’s favour, and Massey has triumphed once again. Yet the battle has not ended, unbeknownst to Massey. Marylin reappears soon after her defeat and seeks his assistance in drafting a new prenuptial agreement, this time with oil-rich husband Howard D. Doyle. Predictably, the marriage ends in a quick annulment; unpredictably, Massey becomes her new marital target and the undefeated attorney may soon take on a most unwelcome challenge. The film’s soundtrack features classics from Simon and Garfunkel, Elvis Presley, Tom Jones, and many more. This movie is rated PG-13 for sexual content, language and brief violence.

Book Of love “Book of Love” is the story Elaine and David Walker a thirty-something married couple whose relationship, romantically speaking, has come to a halt. Both individuals have realized that, for better or for worse, they are destined to spend the rest of their lives together – no matter how dreadfully boring. The couple is still in love, but there is something missing in their lives: a child! That’s when a lanky, awkward looking teenage boy enters the picture. Chet Becker is a nerdy kid working at a local ice cream parlor. Elaine and David stop by the parlor for some dessert and debate their youthful, or not so youthful, appearances. Eventually the couple asks Chet to guess their true ages, and oddly enough a relationship begins to develop from there. From this point forward the fifteen year old becomes the Walkers’ unofficial surrogate child. Yet astute viewers will observe Elaine’s interactions with Chet during their initial meeting. Far from motherly, she was clearly giving Chet a look over and subconscious seal of approval. As the young man spends more time at the couple’s house Elaine makes her feeling more apparent, and Chet has no problem responding to them. In fact, he has no problem making love to a woman twice his age – and neither does Elaine for that matter. David on the other hand may not be so understanding. In a fit of guilt Elaine eventually reveals her affair to her husband, begging him to forgive her. What happens between David and Elaine? How does Chet, a loner whose only friends are the Walkers proceed? “Book of Love” is unique in that the answer to these questions may not be predictable as one might imagine. In fact, the results of Elaine’s revelation are occasionally downright unrealistic and strange, making for a great story. “Book of Love” was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at 2004’s Sundance Film Festival. It is rated R for sexual content and language.

The Simpsons Movie After Homer accidentally pollutes the town's water supply, Springfield is encased in a gigantic dome by the EPA and the Simpsons family are declared fugitives. Homer adopts a pig who's run away from Krusty Burger after Krusty tried to have him slaughtered, naming the pig "Spider Pig." At the same time, the lake is protected after the audience sink the barge Green Day are on with garbage after they mention the environment. Meanwhile, Spider Pig's waste has filled up a silo in just 2 days, apparently with Homer's help. Homer can't get to the dump quickly so dumps the silo in the lake, polluting it. Russ Cargill, the villainous boss of the EPA, gives Arnold Schwarzenegger 5 options, forcing him to choose 4 (which is, unfortunately, to destroy Springfield) and putting a dome over Springfield to prevent evacuation. Homer, however, has escaped, along with his family. Can he stop the evil Cargill from annihilating his home town, and his family, who have been forced to return to Springfield? Springing from Fox's hit series, the movie expands the adventures of the Springfield residents into a feature-length film. Just as in the Emmy-winning show, the film skillfully combines smart satire with inspired silliness. Dan Castellaneta, Harry Shearer, Hank Azaria, and other regulars of the series provide laughs with their vocal talents, while Albert Brooks is hilarious as the film's villain.

Charlie Wilson's War

When the world wasn't watching, they changed it forever. A drama based on a Texas congressman Charlie Wilson's covert dealings in Afghanistan, where his efforts to assist rebels in their war with the Soviets have some unforeseen and long-reaching effects. The first time the audience sees Texas congressman Charlie Wilson in the early 1980s, he seems far from a model politician. Surrounded by strippers, a Playboy Playmate, and cocaine, the naked congressman lies in a hot tub at a party. Despite the distractions, the TV news catches Charlie's attention as Dan Rather reports from a war-torn Afghanistan. As Soviets invade the country, the Afghans lack the money and technology to defend themselves. Enter Joanne Herring, a wealthy Texan who champions the cause of Afghanistan and, by extension in the Cold War, America. Together with CIA Agent Gust Avrakotos, Charlie begins a secret war where he must unite Israel, Pakistan, Egypt, and America to defeat the Soviets. Prodded by his major conservative supporter, Herring, Wilson learns about the plight the people are suffering in the brutal Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. With the help of Avrakotos, Wilson dedicates his canny political efforts to supply the Afghan mujahideen with the weapons and support to defeat the Soviet Union. However, Charlie Wilson eventually learns that while military victory can be had, there are other consequences and prices to that fight that are ignored to everyone's sorrow. This movie is rated R for strong language, nudity/sexual content and some drug use.

Book Of love

“Book of Love” is the story Elaine and David Walker a thirty-something married couple whose relationship, romantically speaking, has come to a halt. Both individuals have realized that, for better or for worse, they are destined to spend the rest of their lives together – no matter how dreadfully boring. The couple is still in love, but there is something missing in their lives: a child! That’s when a lanky, awkward looking teenage boy enters the picture. Chet Becker is a nerdy kid working at a local ice cream parlor. Elaine and David stop by the parlor for some dessert and debate their youthful, or not so youthful, appearances. Eventually the couple asks Chet to guess their true ages, and oddly enough a relationship begins to develop from there. From this point forward the fifteen year old becomes the Walkers’ unofficial surrogate child. Yet astute viewers will observe Elaine’s interactions with Chet during their initial meeting. Far from motherly, she was clearly giving Chet a look over and subconscious seal of approval. As the young man spends more time at the couple’s house Elaine makes her feeling more apparent, and Chet has no problem responding to them. In fact, he has no problem making love to a woman twice his age – and neither does Elaine for that matter. David on the other hand may not be so understanding. In a fit of guilt Elaine eventually reveals her affair to her husband, begging him to forgive her. What happens between David and Elaine? How does Chet, a loner whose only friends are the Walkers proceed? “Book of Love” is unique in that the answer to these questions may not be predictable as one might imagine. In fact, the results of Elaine’s revelation are occasionally downright unrealistic and strange, making for a great story. “Book of Love” was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at 2004’s Sundance Film Festival. It is rated R for sexual content and language.

Daltry Calhoun

Being in the Spotlight Always Comes with a Price The plot centers on Daltry Calhoun, who is the local hero of Ducktown, Tennessee, USA. The likeable entrepreneur at the head of his self-made company has put the tiny town on the map by producing locally grown grass - the legal kind - that now blankets some of the country's best golf courses. His goodhearted television spots have even become a part of Southern pop culture. But being in the spotlight sometimes comes with a price tag. It seems that Daltry's not-so-heroic past, in the form of abandoned ex-girlfriend May and her musically gifted teenage daughter June, has now shown up on his doorstep. Terminally ill, May is determined that June, a talented-beyond-her-years musician, who can't read a note but who plays beautifully by ear, get into Julliard School and she's equally determined that June's father, Daltry, look after their daughter in the coming years. June, however, is unaware of both her mother's condition and her filial relationship with Daltry, whom she recognizes from his hokey TV commercials. She's just glad to be going on a journey. While Daltry is glad at the arrival of mother and daughter, the timing of it all could not be worse. Daltry's sod business is quickly going to seed and he starts with his advisors to liquidate his assets to stay afloat. Faced with the sudden prospect of having to be a father, while watching his business slowly go under, is almost more than Daltry can handle, despite the repeated offers of help from the extremely smitten local shopkeeper Flora. But Daltry is determined to face up to his past mistakes and make good in the eyes of Ducktown's citizens and his own family. This movie is rated PG-13 for sexual content, drug material and language.

You, Me And Dupree

Carl Peterson and Randy Dupree have been friends forever. But everything changes when Carl marries Molly Thompson and best man Dupree becomes the third wheel. Free-spirited Dupree's antics suddenly seem juvenile and Carl has to decide where his loyalty lies--with his new wife or his best friend. Still, when Carl discovers that Dupree is down on his luck--he's lost his job, his company car, and his apartment--he invites his best buddy to move in until he's back on his feet. Unfortunately, Dupree isn't exactly Molly's idea of the perfect houseguest. This perpetual bachelor is really an overgrown kid who moves in with a giant moosehead, likes to sleep in the buff, has some unpleasant hygiene issues, and treats life like one big party. Despite Dupree's inability to grow up, he has a good heart: he's just trying to find his niche and enjoy every day along the way. To make matters worse for Molly, Carl has become a cranky workaholic since his boss, Molly's father, promoted him. Disheartened by her new husband's late hours, Molly begins to spend more time with Dupree and to see his softer side--something that even Carl has never been aware of. Carl, meanwhile, begins to resent his lackadaisical friend and to question his motives. Ultimately, it's up to Dupree to get Carl and Molly back on track. This movie is rated PG-13 for sexual content, brief nudity, crude humor, language and a drug reference.

Two Brothers

Kumal and Sangha are two rambunctious, adorable tigers-who live among ancient temple ruins in the Southeast Asian jungle. They become victims of the garish and gluttonous era of British Colonialism in the early 1900s.

When he stumbles on the tiger family, McRory kills the adult male tiger, but takes pity on Kumal, the traumatized cub left behind. When McRory is arrested for looting ancient artifacts, little Kumal is sold to the circus where local ringleaders beat him into submission and break his spirit. Meanwhile, Sangha, the second cub, is discovered by Raoul (Freddie Highmore), the son of a powerful local administrator (Jean-Claude Dreyfus), but he is later sent to His Excellency, The Prince (Oanh Nyguen), where he is trained to be a vicious killer.

Employee of the Month(2006)

Zack Bradley is a 30-something stock boy who has spent the last ten years of his life working at a Sam’s Club-like buy-in-bulk retail store. Unlike his co-workers, Zack is not particularly concerned with furthering his career, in retail or anywhere else. He is content with his life as a slacker, living with his grandmother and performing the least amount of work possible – if any at all. This changes however when a beautiful new cashier is transferred from another store location. Amy Renfro is a blonde bombshell who is rumored to only date employees of the month. In this case that employee is not Zack, but obnoxious pretty boy coworker Vince, the employee of the month for 17 consecutive months. Despite his knowledge of Amy’s strange preference for men, Zack strives to impress and woo the new cashier. Unfortunately his attempts are unsuccessful and he is forced to do what he hates the most: perform actual work. The slacker begins competing not only against Vince, but also friends and coworkers Lon, Iqbal and Russell for the coveted award, and hopefully Amy’s heart. Zack’s plans hit a snag though when his laziness costs good friend Iqbal his job. Additionally, Lon and Russell notice their pal transforming into a ruthless, cutthroat and obnoxious employee similar to his nemesis, Vince. Could Zack lose not only his friends, but also his job and Amy? Or will he forfeit his close friends in exchange for one woman? Will Vince become employee of the month once again and seal his relationship with the beautiful blonde? With a budget of only $12 million “Employee of the Month” ended its run at the box office earning a more than adequate $38 million worldwide. The picture is rated PG-13 for crude and sexual humor and profanity.

Atonement

Fledgling writer Briony Tallis, as a 13-year-old, irrevocably changes the course of several lives when she accuses her older sister's lover of a crime he did not commit. On a sultry summer day in 1935, an upper-class British family prepares for a dinner party at their country estate. The players: Briony Tallis, a precocious preteen writer; her older sister, Cecilia, Cambridge graduate and femme fatale; Robbie Turner, the housekeeper's mensch-y son, who carries a torch for Cecilia; and various visitors and family members. A series of misperceptions, fuelled by the summer heat and Briony's childish hurts and fevered imagination, lead to a dramatic false accusation that lands Robbie in jail. We meet all three characters five years later in the thick of World War II, as foot soldier Robbie prepares for the Dunkirk evacuation and the two estranged sisters train as nurses in London. Director Joe Wright deserves high praise for translating Ian McEwan's highly internalized, multilayered tale of guilt, redemption, and the power and limits of the artistic imagination, into a sumptuous visual feast that not only conveys the intricate plot points of the novel, but dives head-first into the emotional subtleties that make the story so wrenching. Whether any of the characters' actions are ultimately atoned for by the end of the film is a matter of perception, but Wright's sympathetic eye ensures that every player gets a fair trial. This movie is rated R for disturbing war images, language and some sexuality.

Scorched

Rick Becker (Joshua Leonard) is the lackadaisical manager of a small town California bank, leeching off of his co-worker and girlfriend, Sheila (Alicia Silverstone). Throughout his studies Shelia helped pay for Rick's education, only to be dumped immediately after graduation. Fortunately, at least for Shelia, her ex is on shaky ground with the bank's owners; after thieves heisted thousands from the branch's ATM on numerous occasions, Rick was ordered to increase security or else face being sacked. With Rick's predicament in mind Shelia is planning to rob the bank, earning her both a generous monetary reward and the satisfaction of revenge. Coincidentally, she is not the only person scheming to loot the bank that night. Unbeknownst to Shelia two other tellers: Stu (Paulo Costanzo) and Jason (Woody Harrelson) have concocted their own harebrained plans. The former is in dire need of excitement, and intends to swipe a meager $250,000 from the bank's vault. If successful, Stu will head straight to Las Vegas and wager the full amount on one game of roulette. Jason's motives are, at least in comparison, more virtuous. A lover of Mother Nature, Jason's closest companion is a pet duck, whose mother was ruthlessly gunned down by local millionaire Charles Merchant (John Cleese). Harrelson's character also feels unappreciated by the bank, receiving a meager fifty-cent raise after years of faithful service. His sights are set on pillaging Merchant's safety deposit box, avenging both the millionaire and an ungrateful employer. Finally, and perhaps most childishly, viewers meet Shmally (Rachael Leigh Cook), a clothing store owner hell-bent on attacking Merchant with an onslaught of eggs. Her reluctant accomplice throughout the mission is Carter Doleman (Marcus Thomas), another outlandish teller at the undeniably kooky bank. When this motley crew of aspiring burglars inevitably collides hysteria is bound to ensue.

Rachel Getting Married

A young woman who has been in and out from rehab for the past 10 years returns home for the weekend for her sister's wedding. When Kym returns to the Buchman family home for the wedding of her sister Rachel, she brings a long history of personal crises, family conflict and tragedy along with her. The home environment is always challenging for a recovering addict, no less so when the visit if only for a few days. While the sisters feel genuine affection for one another, there is tension in their relationship. Rachel feels that her father dotes on Kym far too much and Kym is upset to learn that Rachel has selected a friend to be her maid of honor. Their father is genuinely concerned about Kym's well-being but doesn't see the stress the relationship is causing. Both women also have to deal with their selfish mother who is clearly more concerned with her own well-being ahead of that of her children. The wedding couple's abundant party of friends and relations have gathered for a joyful weekend of feasting, music and love, but Kym - with her biting one-liners and flair for bombshell drama - is a catalyst for long-simmering tensions in the family dynamic. Underlying the family's dynamic is a tragedy that occurred many years previously and for which Kym is held by some to be responsible. This movie is rated R for language and brief sexuality.

Employee of the Month(2006)

Zack Bradley is a 30-something stock boy who has spent the last ten years of his life working at a Sam’s Club-like buy-in-bulk retail store. Unlike his co-workers, Zack is not particularly concerned with furthering his career, in retail or anywhere else. He is content with his life as a slacker, living with his grandmother and performing the least amount of work possible – if any at all. This changes however when a beautiful new cashier is transferred from another store location. Amy Renfro is a blonde bombshell who is rumored to only date employees of the month. In this case that employee is not Zack, but obnoxious pretty boy coworker Vince, the employee of the month for 17 consecutive months. Despite his knowledge of Amy’s strange preference for men, Zack strives to impress and woo the new cashier. Unfortunately his attempts are unsuccessful and he is forced to do what he hates the most: perform actual work. The slacker begins competing not only against Vince, but also friends and coworkers Lon, Iqbal and Russell for the coveted award, and hopefully Amy’s heart. Zack’s plans hit a snag though when his laziness costs good friend Iqbal his job. Additionally, Lon and Russell notice their pal transforming into a ruthless, cutthroat and obnoxious employee similar to his nemesis, Vince. Could Zack lose not only his friends, but also his job and Amy? Or will he forfeit his close friends in exchange for one woman? Will Vince become employee of the month once again and seal his relationship with the beautiful blonde? With a budget of only $12 million “Employee of the Month” ended its run at the box office earning a more than adequate $38 million worldwide. The picture is rated PG-13 for crude and sexual humor and profanity.

Atonement

Fledgling writer Briony Tallis, as a 13-year-old, irrevocably changes the course of several lives when she accuses her older sister's lover of a crime he did not commit. On a sultry summer day in 1935, an upper-class British family prepares for a dinner party at their country estate. The players: Briony Tallis, a precocious preteen writer; her older sister, Cecilia, Cambridge graduate and femme fatale; Robbie Turner, the housekeeper's mensch-y son, who carries a torch for Cecilia; and various visitors and family members. A series of misperceptions, fuelled by the summer heat and Briony's childish hurts and fevered imagination, lead to a dramatic false accusation that lands Robbie in jail. We meet all three characters five years later in the thick of World War II, as foot soldier Robbie prepares for the Dunkirk evacuation and the two estranged sisters train as nurses in London. Director Joe Wright deserves high praise for translating Ian McEwan's highly internalized, multilayered tale of guilt, redemption, and the power and limits of the artistic imagination, into a sumptuous visual feast that not only conveys the intricate plot points of the novel, but dives head-first into the emotional subtleties that make the story so wrenching. Whether any of the characters' actions are ultimately atoned for by the end of the film is a matter of perception, but Wright's sympathetic eye ensures that every player gets a fair trial. This movie is rated R for disturbing war images, language and some sexuality.

Rachel Getting Married

A young woman who has been in and out from rehab for the past 10 years returns home for the weekend for her sister's wedding. When Kym returns to the Buchman family home for the wedding of her sister Rachel, she brings a long history of personal crises, family conflict and tragedy along with her. The home environment is always challenging for a recovering addict, no less so when the visit if only for a few days. While the sisters feel genuine affection for one another, there is tension in their relationship. Rachel feels that her father dotes on Kym far too much and Kym is upset to learn that Rachel has selected a friend to be her maid of honor. Their father is genuinely concerned about Kym's well-being but doesn't see the stress the relationship is causing. Both women also have to deal with their selfish mother who is clearly more concerned with her own well-being ahead of that of her children. The wedding couple's abundant party of friends and relations have gathered for a joyful weekend of feasting, music and love, but Kym - with her biting one-liners and flair for bombshell drama - is a catalyst for long-simmering tensions in the family dynamic. Underlying the family's dynamic is a tragedy that occurred many years previously and for which Kym is held by some to be responsible. This movie is rated R for language and brief sexuality.

Scorched

Rick Becker (Joshua Leonard) is the lackadaisical manager of a small town California bank, leeching off of his co-worker and girlfriend, Sheila (Alicia Silverstone). Throughout his studies Shelia helped pay for Rick's education, only to be dumped immediately after graduation. Fortunately, at least for Shelia, her ex is on shaky ground with the bank's owners; after thieves heisted thousands from the branch's ATM on numerous occasions, Rick was ordered to increase security or else face being sacked. With Rick's predicament in mind Shelia is planning to rob the bank, earning her both a generous monetary reward and the satisfaction of revenge. Coincidentally, she is not the only person scheming to loot the bank that night. Unbeknownst to Shelia two other tellers: Stu (Paulo Costanzo) and Jason (Woody Harrelson) have concocted their own harebrained plans. The former is in dire need of excitement, and intends to swipe a meager $250,000 from the bank's vault. If successful, Stu will head straight to Las Vegas and wager the full amount on one game of roulette. Jason's motives are, at least in comparison, more virtuous. A lover of Mother Nature, Jason's closest companion is a pet duck, whose mother was ruthlessly gunned down by local millionaire Charles Merchant (John Cleese). Harrelson's character also feels unappreciated by the bank, receiving a meager fifty-cent raise after years of faithful service. His sights are set on pillaging Merchant's safety deposit box, avenging both the millionaire and an ungrateful employer. Finally, and perhaps most childishly, viewers meet Shmally (Rachael Leigh Cook), a clothing store owner hell-bent on attacking Merchant with an onslaught of eggs. Her reluctant accomplice throughout the mission is Carter Doleman (Marcus Thomas), another outlandish teller at the undeniably kooky bank. When this motley crew of aspiring burglars inevitably collides hysteria is bound to ensue.

I Me Wed

For the past five years Isabelle Darden (Erica Durance) has witnessed nearly all of her friends get married. Her mom, Lillian (Janet-Laine Green) and best friend Amy (Cara Pifko) relentlessly pressure Isabelle to find a good man – even if it is merely a boyfriend. While the thirty-year old does date frequently, she rarely meets the same man twice, continuously changing boyfriends like pairs of socks. Yet one can somewhat understand her position. Isabelle makes a respectable living buying old homes, restoring them, and then selling them for much more than she initially paid. She has a nice apartment, car, and wardrobe; intimacy can be obtained as well, via an occasional one-night stand or two. While Amy and Isabelle's other girlfriends are marrying for money or stability, she has already obtained both. Why bother? After being nagged for years, forced into horrible blind dates, and listening to one lecture after another about the merits of marriage, Isabelle finally accepts her fate. She has not exactly changed her opinion however. When wedding invitations reach family and friends they are astonished to discover that the groom is – Isabelle! Indeed, she intends to marry herself, perhaps ending a half-decade of nonstop harassment from both Lillian and Amy; more importantly though, Isabelle will prove to the world that neither marriage nor a man are prerequisites for lifelong happiness. Or at least she thinks. When a local newspaper covers her story it quickly goes viral, spreading from one media outlet to another. Traditionalists like Lillian are repulsed by the idea, but feminists are fascinated: Isabelle has inadvertently cultivated a twenty-first century sexual revolution. The event is soon spiraling out of control however, and what was once intended to be a small ceremony has transformed into a multimillion dollar media extravaganza, courtesy of a television talk show host who fronts the bill. As this occurs Isabelle meets Colin (Paul Popowich), a modest Harvard graduate who enjoys working construction alongside his father, Roy (Vlasta Vrana). Inevitably the unimaginable begins to occur, and Isabelle falls in love with Colin. In parallel Isabelle begins to realize that her attitude toward marriage was wrong, yet stubbornly continues with the ceremony, possibly forfeiting both her integrity and soul-mate in the process.

Surf's Up

A behind-the-scenes look at the annual Penguin World Surfing Championship, and its newest participant, up-and-comer Cody Maverick. This animated mock documentary follows penguin Cody Maverick from his hometown of Shiverpool, Antarctica, where all of the other penguins think he's a surfing fool, to the "Big Z Memorial Surf Off" on Pen Gu Island. This teenage penguin is determined to win the most important competition in the world of penguin surfing in honor of "Big Z," a deceased surfing legend whom he has idolized since childhood. But the waves in Pen Gu are different than in Shiverpool, and the competition is steep. The current champ, egotistical Tank Evans, isn't about to let this little penguin knock him from first place without a fight. When Cody wipes out and encounters Geek, a recluse living in the jungle, he learns some important lessons about life and surfing, and even teaches Geek a thing or two. The documentary/reality show format is a delightful surprise, and side interviews with other characters make it particularly effective. The attention to detail in this feature is terrific. The foam, waves, sand, expressions, and movements are all quite realistic, and the voices are spot on. Shia LaBeouf hits the mark perfectly as Cody, and Jeff Daniels is fun as the aging former surfer, Geek, who imparts his wisdom to the newbie. Mario Cantone voices the perpetually exasperated talent scout, Mikey, who works for sports promoter Reggie (James Woods). Jon Heder and Zooey Deschanel also lend their talents as mid-western surfer dude Chicken Joe and the lovely lifeguard Lani, respectively. Sports Penguin Entertainment Network (SPEN) correspondents Kelly Slater and Rob Machado are voiced by their real-life surfing-legend counterparts. A soundtrack including a number of past pop hits is also a nice touch.

My Life In Ruins

The Most Fun You Can Have Without A Passport Georgia is an American academic who's lost her teaching job in Athens. She's taken a job as a tour guide, but she hates it and it shows: the tourists, mostly American, are bored with history and facts; they want to shop. Every group has a goofy couple, a frat boy, a sullen teen, a feuding couple, divorcées looking for a mate, and a funny guy. This group is no exception, plus there's no air conditioning and a bearded silent driver. Thanks to an unlikely friendship, plus daisies, an ice-cream cone, the history of syrup, and the Oracle at Delphi, Georgia may have a shot at finding her kefi during this four-day tour. In a clash of personalities and cultures, everything seems to go wrong, until one day when an older traveler named Irv Gordon, shows her how to have fun, and to take a good look at the last person she would ever expect to find love with, her Greek bus driver. My Life In Ruins is set amongst the ruins of ancient Greece and Alicante, in Spain, including Guadalest and Javea. This was the first time that an American film studio was allowed to film on location at the Acropolis; the Greek government gave the studio its approval after Nia Vardalos sought permission to film several scenes there. The script is originally by Mike Reiss (The Simpsons, The Simpsons Movie), based on his travel experiences, but it was later re-written by Vardalos after she became involved. This movie is rated PG-13 for sexual content.

Erin Brockovich

Julia Roberts portrays real-life activist Erin Brockovich, a struggling single mom who initiated a legal battle with a multibillion-dollar corporation and prevailed. It all began quite simply. Brockovich sought the help of Lebanese-American lawyer Edward L. Masry (Albert Finney) after an automobile collision injured her. To both Masry and his client it seemed like an open and shut case; evidence suggested that the defendant was responsible for the crash, and as such should pay Brockovich for monetary damages in addition to her pain and suffering. To the plaintiff and her attorney's surprise the court thought differently though: Brockovich did not receive a penny. With a mere $16 in her bank account and no job the future seemed bleak, particularly for her three children. Erin's unemployment was not due to lack of effort, but lack of opportunities. If nothing else her reaction to the ruling affirmed the mother's willpower. Since Masry's defense proved inadequate she demanded a job at his firm. With a mere high school education, however, such a position seemed out of reach – if available at all. Initially he declined his client's request. As a result, Brockovich refused to leave the lawyer's office except with a job. Masry eventually caved into Erin's request and hired her as a file clerk. Aside from being scantily clad and foul-mouthed, the new hire performed exceptionally. Still no one would have ever guessed she would uncover one of the most appalling environmental crimes in history. One day while Erin was sorting through various real estate cases she found a file that contained medical documents. Her interest was immediately piqued. Why would a case about home ownership require medical evidence? The documents indicated that the Pacific Gas and Electric Company had purchased the home of an elderly woman named Donna Jensen (Marg Helgenberger), but why? Brockovich gets in touch with Donna, who reveals that PG&E not only purchased the home, but also paid for the woman's medical treatment. Brockovich probes further and discovers that Miss Jensen was a victim of chromium poisoning. Rather than plainly acknowledge responsibility, PG&E paid to cover up the incident fearing that a scandal would erupt. Erin begins interviewing hundreds of the town's residents and gathers medical statistics, discovering that an astounding number of individuals shared Jensen's medical ailments. Circumstantial evidence seems to indicate not only PG&E's complicity in the poisonings, but their awareness of it for years. Now all Brockovich needs is a smoking gun, and it is eventually placed right into her own hands. Julia Roberts was awarded a Golden Globe, Oscar, Teen Choice, and MTV Movie Award for her performance. At the box office the film earned more than $256 million internationally. The soundtrack features songs from female pop artist Sheryl Crow.

As the title character of Joe Dirt, David Spade plays a "white trash" janitor at an L.A. radio station, whose mullet hairdo is just one of many personal oddities that make him the object of much ridicule. And the sanitation gig is just the most recent of Joe's many incarnations during a tumultuous life, which got off on the wrong foot when Joe was abandoned at the Grand Canyon by his parents as a young child. After stumbling into the on-air studio, Joe steadily recounts the sad and comical story of how he cared for himself and journeyed around the country trying to relocate his family, all while being prodded, teased, and eventually embraced by a sarcastic deejay (Dennis Miller) and a rapt listening audience. His travels involve stints selling fireworks, wrangling alligators, riding aloft in a car dealership display balloon, and being held captive by a Silence of the Lambs-style serial killer. Despite numerous setbacks and bruising physical injuries, Joe emerges from each episode with his spirit intact as he searches optimistically for his roots, and eventually for the chance to return to the one place he was accepted -- a rural farm where the girl of his dreams (Brittany Daniel) awaits.

Johnny English

Johnny English is a comedic take on an almost 40 year history of spy flicks, most notably the James Bond franchise and stars British funnyman Rowan Atkinson as the film’s hero while America’s John Malkovich plays villain, Pascal Sauvage. Johnny English is an underachieving spy working for the MI7, Britain’s internationally known secret intelligence agency. England’s upper-class consider him a simpleton, too incompetent to carry out even the most minor tasks and plan to never assign him a case unless all other agents have been killed, which against all odds indeed becomes a reality. One of the agency’s top spies, Agent One is killed during a case and all MI7 agents attend his funeral to pay their respects. Ordinarily that would be a good thing, however, French villain Pascal Sauvage uses the opportunity to bomb the event and murder all of the nation’s spies – except one. Johnny’s stupidity generally causes him grief, though this time it saves his life. Now the only remaining member of MI7, Johnny is assigned to locate the killer and prevent him from causing any further chaos. Sauvage, a descendant of William the Conqueror is determined to regain his family’s reign of England, and intends to do so by stealing the Crown Jewels. Once Sauvage gains control of the monarch he plans to transform it into a prison, where citizens will essentially perform slave labor. Inevitably Johnny makes mistakes along the way, including losing the Crown Jewels he was assigned to protect. Yet with some help from his assistant, Angus Bough and love interest Lorna Campbell he might just save the kingdom after all. “Johnny English” was shot under a $40 million budget and earned more than $160 million worldwide. Due to the success of the picture many have speculated that a sequel is in the works, and Atkinson himself has hinted at the possibility on more than one occasion. The picture is rated PG for comic nudity, some crude humor and harsh language.

She has a nice apartment, car, and wardrobe; intimacy can be obtained as well, via an occasional one-night stand or two. While Amy and Isabelle's other girlfriends are marrying for money or stability, she has already obtained both. Why bother? After being nagged for years, forced into horrible blind dates, and listening to one lecture after another about the merits of marriage, Isabelle finally accepts her fate. She has not exactly changed her opinion however. When wedding invitations reach family and friends they are astonished to discover that the groom is – Isabelle! Indeed, she intends to marry herself, perhaps ending a half-decade of nonstop harassment from both Lillian and Amy; more importantly though, Isabelle will prove to the world that neither marriage nor a man are prerequisites for lifelong happiness. Or at least she thinks. When a local newspaper covers her story it quickly goes viral, spreading from one media outlet to another. Traditionalists like Lillian are repulsed by the idea, but feminists are fascinated: Isabelle has inadvertently cultivated a twenty-first century sexual revolution. The event is soon spiraling out of control however, and what was once intended to be a small ceremony has transformed into a multimillion dollar media extravaganza, courtesy of a television talk show host who fronts the bill. As this occurs Isabelle meets Colin (Paul Popowich), a modest Harvard graduate who enjoys working construction alongside his father, Roy (Vlasta Vrana). Inevitably the unimaginable begins to occur, and Isabelle falls in love with Colin. In parallel Isabelle begins to realize that her attitude toward marriage was wrong, yet stubbornly continues with the ceremony, possibly forfeiting both her integrity and soul-mate in the process.

Erin Brockovich

Julia Roberts portrays real-life activist Erin Brockovich, a struggling single mom who initiated a legal battle with a multibillion-dollar corporation and prevailed. It all began quite simply. Brockovich sought the help of Lebanese-American lawyer Edward L. Masry (Albert Finney) after an automobile collision injured her. To both Masry and his client it seemed like an open and shut case; evidence suggested that the defendant was responsible for the crash, and as such should pay Brockovich for monetary damages in addition to her pain and suffering. To the plaintiff and her attorney's surprise the court thought differently though: Brockovich did not receive a penny. With a mere $16 in her bank account and no job the future seemed bleak, particularly for her three children. Erin's unemployment was not due to lack of effort, but lack of opportunities. If nothing else her reaction to the ruling affirmed the mother's willpower. Since Masry's defense proved inadequate she demanded a job at his firm. With a mere high school education, however, such a position seemed out of reach – if available at all. Initially he declined his client's request. As a result, Brockovich refused to leave the lawyer's office except with a job. Masry eventually caved into Erin's request and hired her as a file clerk. Aside from being scantily clad and foul-mouthed, the new hire performed exceptionally. Still no one would have ever guessed she would uncover one of the most appalling environmental crimes in history. One day while Erin was sorting through various real estate cases she found a file that contained medical documents. Her interest was immediately piqued. Why would a case about home ownership require medical evidence? The documents indicated that the Pacific Gas and Electric Company had purchased the home of an elderly woman named Donna Jensen (Marg Helgenberger), but why? Brockovich gets in touch with Donna, who reveals that PG&E not only purchased the home, but also paid for the woman's medical treatment. Brockovich probes further and discovers that Miss Jensen was a victim of chromium poisoning. Rather than plainly acknowledge responsibility, PG&E paid to cover up the incident fearing that a scandal would erupt. Erin begins interviewing hundreds of the town's residents and gathers medical statistics, discovering that an astounding number of individuals shared Jensen's medical ailments. Circumstantial evidence seems to indicate not only PG&E's complicity in the poisonings, but their awareness of it for years. Now all Brockovich needs is a smoking gun, and it is eventually placed right into her own hands. Julia Roberts was awarded a Golden Globe, Oscar, Teen Choice, and MTV Movie Award for her performance. At the box office the film earned more than $256 million internationally. The soundtrack features songs from female pop artist Sheryl Crow.

My Life In Ruins

The Most Fun You Can Have Without A Passport Georgia is an American academic who's lost her teaching job in Athens. She's taken a job as a tour guide, but she hates it and it shows: the tourists, mostly American, are bored with history and facts; they want to shop. Every group has a goofy couple, a frat boy, a sullen teen, a feuding couple, divorcées looking for a mate, and a funny guy. This group is no exception, plus there's no air conditioning and a bearded silent driver. Thanks to an unlikely friendship, plus daisies, an ice-cream cone, the history of syrup, and the Oracle at Delphi, Georgia may have a shot at finding her kefi during this four-day tour. In a clash of personalities and cultures, everything seems to go wrong, until one day when an older traveler named Irv Gordon, shows her how to have fun, and to take a good look at the last person she would ever expect to find love with, her Greek bus driver. My Life In Ruins is set amongst the ruins of ancient Greece and Alicante, in Spain, including Guadalest and Javea. This was the first time that an American film studio was allowed to film on location at the Acropolis; the Greek government gave the studio its approval after Nia Vardalos sought permission to film several scenes there. The script is originally by Mike Reiss (The Simpsons, The Simpsons Movie), based on his travel experiences, but it was later re-written by Vardalos after she became involved. This movie is rated PG-13 for sexual content.

As the title character of Joe Dirt, David Spade plays a "white trash" janitor at an L.A. radio station, whose mullet hairdo is just one of many personal oddities that make him the object of much ridicule. And the sanitation gig is just the most recent of Joe's many incarnations during a tumultuous life, which got off on the wrong foot when Joe was abandoned at the Grand Canyon by his parents as a young child. After stumbling into the on-air studio, Joe steadily recounts the sad and comical story of how he cared for himself and journeyed around the country trying to relocate his family, all while being prodded, teased, and eventually embraced by a sarcastic deejay (Dennis Miller) and a rapt listening audience. His travels involve stints selling fireworks, wrangling alligators, riding aloft in a car dealership display balloon, and being held captive by a Silence of the Lambs-style serial killer. Despite numerous setbacks and bruising physical injuries, Joe emerges from each episode with his spirit intact as he searches optimistically for his roots, and eventually for the chance to return to the one place he was accepted -- a rural farm where the girl of his dreams (Brittany Daniel) awaits.

Johnny English

Johnny English is a comedic take on an almost 40 year history of spy flicks, most notably the James Bond franchise and stars British funnyman Rowan Atkinson as the film’s hero while America’s John Malkovich plays villain, Pascal Sauvage. Johnny English is an underachieving spy working for the MI7, Britain’s internationally known secret intelligence agency. England’s upper-class consider him a simpleton, too incompetent to carry out even the most minor tasks and plan to never assign him a case unless all other agents have been killed, which against all odds indeed becomes a reality. One of the agency’s top spies, Agent One is killed during a case and all MI7 agents attend his funeral to pay their respects. Ordinarily that would be a good thing, however, French villain Pascal Sauvage uses the opportunity to bomb the event and murder all of the nation’s spies – except one. Johnny’s stupidity generally causes him grief, though this time it saves his life. Now the only remaining member of MI7, Johnny is assigned to locate the killer and prevent him from causing any further chaos. Sauvage, a descendant of William the Conqueror is determined to regain his family’s reign of England, and intends to do so by stealing the Crown Jewels. Once Sauvage gains control of the monarch he plans to transform it into a prison, where citizens will essentially perform slave labor. Inevitably Johnny makes mistakes along the way, including losing the Crown Jewels he was assigned to protect. Yet with some help from his assistant, Angus Bough and love interest Lorna Campbell he might just save the kingdom after all. “Johnny English” was shot under a $40 million budget and earned more than $160 million worldwide. Due to the success of the picture many have speculated that a sequel is in the works, and Atkinson himself has hinted at the possibility on more than one occasion. The picture is rated PG for comic nudity, some crude humor and harsh language.

The End of the Affair

The End of the Affair is a screen adaptation of novelist Graham Greene’s identically titled book published in 1951. Set both during and after World War II, Greene’s work was part biographical and like him the main character, Maurice Bendrix was a prominent author. Bendrix, a married man, had a passionate affair with his mistress, Sarah Miles that lasted approximately two years. However the affair ended abruptly one night while Sarah was visiting Maurice’s home, which was struck by a bomb, and subsequently injured him. In panic, Sarah ran down a flight of stairs, only to find her love bloodied and no longer breathing. She ran back into the bedroom, got on her knees, and vowed to God that if he saved Maurice’s life, she would halt her affair with him, and finally wed her loyal boyfriend, Henry Miles. At that very moment Bendrix miraculously entered the room, yet he was dumbfounded when Sarah ceased all communication with him. It was clear that Sarah still had feelings for Maurice, and he certainly felt the same way. For the years following their breakup Bendrix lived in deep depression and resentment, never able to remove his mistress from memory. Fast forward some years later. Henry has summoned Bendrix’s help, suspicious that Sarah is having an affair with another man. He seizes this moment and hires a private detective, deceitfully claiming that it is for Henry’s best interest. Yet Bendrix intends to use the detective’s findings to win Sarah back, and so the pursuit begins. The sleuth, Parkis alongside his son follow their target, discovering that she is not romancing another man, but visiting Father Richard Smythe, a priest. Bendrix does not hesitate to confront Sarah, diligently attempting to convince her to stay with him. Still, the issue is not whether or not she loves Bendrix; Sarah willfully admits that she has not forgotten about him. Eventually he does persuade her to join him on a weekend vacation, prompting Henry to track both of them down. The result is not necessarily a predictable one. “The End of the Affair” was critically acclaimed, earning 2 Oscar nominations in addition to 4 Golden Globe nominations. The picture is rated R for scenes of strong sexuality.

Birdee Pruitt is a small town Texan girl who migrated to Chicago. During her youth Birdee was considered the most beautiful and popular girl in high school. Unfortunately, she was also known for her snobbery and conceit, a quality amplified after she left for the big city. In Chicago Birdee resides with her womanizing husband, Bill. Although Bill is not the ideal mate, he does pay the bills and allow Birdee to live a fairly comfortable life. However her big city dream transforms into a nightmare when she is invited onto a Jerry Springer-like talk show under the guise that she will receive a makeover. Indeed, she does receive a makeover of sorts – one that would change her life forever. Once on the show Birdee discovers that her best friend has been having an affair with Bill and that he is uninterested in pursuing the marriage any further. Crushed, Birdee decides to return to her humble hometown. However upon arrival she is humiliated: the entire town watched her talk show appearance, and was certainly not sad that the arrogant, big city beauty queen fell from grace. Yet Birdee’s plight is perhaps of lesser importance than her daughter’s, Bernice. Though adult consensus has determined Bill is a creep, Bernice continues to view him as her loving father. This complicates her mother’s relationship with former high school sweetheart Justin Matisse, who Bernice bitterly rejects as a father figure, certain that her daddy will return. Meanwhile the soon-to-be divorcee struggles to find employment in a town where no one is a stranger, and family histories are known by all. It surely doesn’t help that her caseworker at the local unemployment office was a high school foe who asserts, “I don't see a listing here for prom queen.” Nevertheless Birdee does manage to find work at a photo-processing lab, despite ruining numerous rolls of film. Despite settling into their new surroundings, both Bernice and her mother yearn for their former life. Is there any chance that Bill and Birdee can reconcile? This movie is rated PG-13 for thematic elements.

Accepted

Bartleby Gaines (Justin Long) has hustled through life. His scams, like creating fake IDs, helped line his pockets with cash even without good grades. Academics were never a priority for the teenager, at least not until his high school graduation. Gaines' parents insist that he enrolls in college, reiterating that an education is the key to success. While the teenager loathes the idea of attending a university, he still wants to please mom and dad, and so he begins applying to schools right and left. Yet for each application there is an inevitable rejection. The kid who could con his way into anything has hit an unexpected roadblock. Still Bartleby is desperate to impress his parents, and so he concocts an unbelievable scheme to create a fictional university with guaranteed admittance. Founding the South Harmon Institute of Technology (take note of the acronym the name spells out) was just a matter of creating an acceptance letter, complete with an official school logo and letterhead. The underachiever's parents were elated that a college finally accepted their son. Mom and dad still wanted to know more about South Harmon though, and an Internet search returned zero results. No sweat. Gaines contracts his nerdy best friend, Sherman (Jonah Hill) to create an impressive and convincing website for the make-believe school. When his parents want to visit South Harmon's campus, however, Bartleby's plan seems like it will derail. Or maybe not. The two buds discover an abandoned, rundown mental hospital up for lease and begin renovating it. South Harmon also adds three more similarly pathetic students to its roster: Yale reject Rory (Maria Thayer), Hands (Columbus Short) a former jock, and Glen (Adam Herschman) an all around bonehead. On opening day the school is a success – too big of a success. Hundreds of people stumbled upon the South Harmon website, submitted registrations, and are now ready with their cash in hand. What began as a hoax between friends is now a legitimate school, and after collecting more than a $1 million in tuition, Bartleby is obligated to provide some sort of education – regardless of how futile it may be. Sherman's uncle, Ben Lewis (comedian Lewis Black) becomes the college's dean. Slowly a curriculum is built around self-learning that, despite its outwardly juvenile appearance, begins to rival nearby Harmon university. When Harmon students begin flocking to South Harmon, the distinguished university's dean, Richard Van Horne (Anthony Heald) is determined to shut it down. The future of Gaines' school is in doubt, but don't expect him to throw in the towel just yet. Accepted's soundtrack features a wide range of artists and genres including 80s group Simple Minds (in a nod to The Breakfast Club), Ryan Adams, Weezer, and many more. Filmed under the constraints of a $23 million budget, the picture garnered $38 million worldwide. It earned two Teen Choice Award nominations. Rating: Rated PG-13 for explicit language, sexual material, and drug content.

Stepmom

Jackie (Susan Sarandon), a one-time book editor, is now the consummate soccer mom juggling the schedules of her two kids in her New York ranch outside of Manhattan. Her ex-husband Luke (Ed Harris), who gets weekend custody of the kids, is living in the city with a woman half his age named Isabel (Julia Roberts), a high-fashion photographer with a strong stylistic sense of "what's hot." Since Luke is always away at work, the burden of getting the kids ready for school when they are with their father falls on Isabel, and she just isn't the nurturing type. The story heats up, however, when Jackie learns that she has cancer. Facing the horrors of medical tests and chemotherapy, she realizes that, should something happen to her, her kids will be left with this irresponsible Isabel as their mother, especially after Luke proposes marriage to her. What ensues is part parenting lesson, part competitive parenting, but 100 percent family bonding, as Jackie must learn to allow Isabel to be part of her world and her family

The Prince & Me

Prince Edward, despite his royalty, is by most standards your average twenty-something guy. He enjoys racing cars and beautiful girls, a pastime that earns him unwelcome publicity in his native Denmark. Yet despite having what would appear to be the perfect life, Edward yearns for independence; he has a desire to understand what it is like to be a common person. More importantly, he yearns to find a common girl – not merely someone of royal lineage who he may or may not actually love. However he has no idea of how to make his dreams a reality until he stumbles upon the infamous American video series, “Girls Gone Wild” where drunken college girls expose themselves in front of cameras. Naïve, Edward believes that if he travels to an American college campus, in this case one in Wisconsin he will be able to meet loose girls like those in the video. This leads Edward to beg his parents to send him to America and fend for himself the following year; his mother sternly objects, but his father believes it would be a good experience for the pampered prince and sends him on his way. Accompanying Edward on his trip is Soren, the prince’s personal secretary. Upon arriving at the university the two accidentally strike Paige with their fancy car. While Paige does not get a glimpse of Edward (who has now adopted the nickname ‘Eddie’), he does get a clear gaze of her, which would in turn lead to an obsession. Eddie eventually sees his love again at a local bar and makes a rather obnoxious pass at her. Rather than respond similarly Paige has the prince ejected from the building. Yet Eddie will have another shot when the two are assigned as lab partners in their chemistry class. With time, Paige begins to enjoy Eddie’s company and they soon become a couple. Unbeknownst to Paige, and indeed the entire campus is that the foreign exchange student is a prince. Naturally Paige discovers Edward’s fib and is less than thrilled, especially after her photo is plastered across international tabloids while in lip lock with him. Even if the small town girl should decide to forgive Eddie, would she be willing to forfeit her career as a doctor and accept the title of princess, and eventually queen? “The Prince and Me” was nominated for a Teen Choice Award. This movie is rated PG for some sex-related material and language.

Blades of Glory

Blades of Glory is about Chazz Michaels who is a disgraced male figure skater played by funnyman Will Ferrell plays, who has the skill to mesh the seemingly wimpy sport with the actor’s famous frat boy/jock personality, creating a very unusual and entertaining combination. Jon Heder plays Chazz’s antagonist, the effeminate and germophobic Jimmy MacElroy. Both Chazz and Jimmy are banned from professional ice-skating after the two break out in a fight during an awards ceremony. For the years following the incident Chazz performed at children’s events, though after succumbing to obesity and alcoholism he was fired. Jimmy’s interim job at a sporting goods store’s footwear department was no more glamorous, especially after a brat’s complaint relegated him to the stockroom. Fortunately, every cloud has a silver lining; in Jimmy’s case it was an obsessed fan named Hector (Nick Swardson), who stalked the former skater until finding him at work. Desperate to see Jimmy back on the ice, Hector studied the competition’s rules; while Jimmy could never participate individually, he could compete as a pair skater – and so he began searching for a female partner. Jimmy immediately gets in touch with Robert, his former coach played by Craig T. Nelson. Coach Robert searches for a partner to no avail, as Jimmy realizes competition rules do not specify that a pair must be male and female. With that in mind he contacts his longtime rival, Chazz, hoping that both men could revive their careers by skating together. Hungry to skate again, Chazz agrees and preparation for the event begins. With Coach Robert’s help the duo begins training, and struggles to overcome their past differences, in addition to their individual weaknesses. Much more difficult trouble lies ahead, however, as rival skaters attempt to sabotage their comeback, eavesdropping on their practice sessions and even eventually kidnapping Chazz and Jimmy. Professional skating’s Odd Couple must cooperate not just to win, but also to survive. The picture’s soundtrack features a fitting array of motivational and sports-themed music including tracks by Queen, Marky Mark, Aerosmith, and Foreigner. “Blades of Glory” won a Teen Choice Award and was nominated in five additional categories; it also garnered three MTV Movie Award nominations. “Blades of Glory” is rated PG-13 for crude and sexual humor, harsh language, comic violence, and some drug references.

An Unfinished Life

Unfinished Life is a story of a widower and single mother attempting to escape from an abusive boyfriend whose only refuge is a father-in-law who despises her. Jean Gilkyson is a woman on the run from her obsessed and estranged boyfriend, Gary Winston. Devoid of any other options, Jean flees to her father-in-law’s, Einar Gilkyson, Wyoming ranch with her daughter, Griff. Years prior Jean wedded Einar’s son, Griffin who died tragically in a car accident as they were traveling one late and sleepy night. Einar disliked Jean before the crash occurred, primarily because she extracted Griffin from his native Wyoming to her place of origin. However her possible involvement in his death, whether intentional or not, terminated any potentially cordial relationship between the two. The father-in-law is unaware though that Jean was pregnant with Griffin’s child at the time of the accident, and for years he has had an unknown granddaughter. In some respects, this eases the tension between the two when Einar realizes Griffin was not his final progeny, though he still has not completely forgiven Jean. The widower settles into her new environment and soon meets her father-in-law’s best friend, Mitch. One year ago Mitch was severely injured when both men attempted to rescue a calf from the jaws of a wild bear. Since Einar was drunk during the incident, he feels responsible for Mitch’s condition, and dedicates his life to helping his crippled friend; without Einar’s assistance, Mitch would not be able to survive. Jean finds a job at a local restaurant and begins warming up to Sheriff Crane. While Crane appears to be different from other guys she has dated, Jean lives in fear of former boyfriend Gary, who appears in her life soon again. When Gary makes the long trek to the ranch in search of Jean, a confrontation occurs between him and Einar. After the altercation, Einar demands that Jean clarify precisely what happened on the night of her husband’s death. From this point forward Mitch, Einar, and Jean begin confronting their fears and inner demons so that they can finally move forward. This movie is rated PG-13 due to some violence, including domestic abuse and adult language.

Hope Floats

Birdee Pruitt is a small town Texan girl who migrated to Chicago. During her youth Birdee was considered the most beautiful and popular girl in high school. Unfortunately, she was also known for her snobbery and conceit, a quality amplified after she left for the big city. In Chicago Birdee resides with her womanizing husband, Bill. Although Bill is not the ideal mate, he does pay the bills and allow Birdee to live a fairly comfortable life. However her big city dream transforms into a nightmare when she is invited onto a Jerry Springer-like talk show under the guise that she will receive a makeover. Indeed, she does receive a makeover of sorts – one that would change her life forever. Once on the show Birdee discovers that her best friend has been having an affair with Bill and that he is uninterested in pursuing the marriage any further. Crushed, Birdee decides to return to her humble hometown. However upon arrival she is humiliated: the entire town watched her talk show appearance, and was certainly not sad that the arrogant, big city beauty queen fell from grace. Yet Birdee’s plight is perhaps of lesser importance than her daughter’s, Bernice. Though adult consensus has determined Bill is a creep, Bernice continues to view him as her loving father. This complicates her mother’s relationship with former high school sweetheart Justin Matisse, who Bernice bitterly rejects as a father figure, certain that her daddy will return. Meanwhile the soon-to-be divorcee struggles to find employment in a town where no one is a stranger, and family histories are known by all. It surely doesn’t help that her caseworker at the local unemployment office was a high school foe who asserts, “I don't see a listing here for prom queen.” Nevertheless Birdee does manage to find work at a photo-processing lab, despite ruining numerous rolls of film. Despite settling into their new surroundings, both Bernice and her mother yearn for their former life. Is there any chance that Bill and Birdee can reconcile? This movie is rated PG-13 for thematic elements.

Back To The Future

Marty McFly is a restless '80s teen who takes a ride in slightly mad scientist Doc Brown’s "time machine" and ends up in 1955. Once on the ground, Marty meets his teenage mother and accidentally wins her affections, thereby threatening the relationship she’s supposed to form with his father. Now it’s a do-or-never-be-born situation. Marty must repair the damage to history by causing his parents-to-be to fall in love, and with the help of scientist Dr. Emmett "Doc" Brown, he must find a way to return to 1985. Back To The Future remains one of the rare family films that enjoyed both critical and box office success, and garnered a permanent spot in the pop-culture lexicon thanks to highly-quotable dialogue.

Stepmom

Julia Roberts portrays Isabel Kelly, a young and attractive woman in a romantic relationship with Luke Harrison (Ed Harris), a man old enough to be her father. Susan Sarandon depicts Isabel’s nemesis, Jackie – Ed’s ex-wife and the mother of his two children. Ed and Isabel date for approximately a year before deciding to tie the knot. While both individuals are blissfully in love, Jackie, and by proxy her two children (who reside with their father), are less than welcoming. The children, Anna (Jena Malone) and Ben (Liam Aiken) are apprehensive of Isabel’s capabilities as a mother; so is Jackie, who despises Ed’s new wife out of hatred and jealousy. Jackie frequently, though indirectly encourages the children to aggravate their new stepmom. At other times her animosity is less subtle, like when she scolds Isabel for buying the kids tickets to a rock concert. After convincing the stepmom not to take the children, Jackie buys her own tickets, takes Ben and Anna to the concert, and subsequently becomes the night’s hero. Things change however when Jackie is diagnosed with terminal cancer. Their mother now realizes that there is no time to quarrel with Isabel, nor harbor negative feelings toward her. In her final days the dying matriarch will genuinely befriend her successor, and also attempt to instill Isabel with motherly wisdom to ensure Ben and Anna’s happiness. The central theme of Stepmom begins to develop from this point forward, as both women bond, lower their guards, and share experiences that will move and inspire the film’s viewers. Stepmom’s soundtrack features many familiar tunes including the Motown sounds of Marvin Gaye and The Supremes, alongside classic rock from Queen and David Bowie. The film was nominated for a Golden Globe, Kids’ Choice Award, and a Teen Choice Award. At the box office the picture earned $159 million, more than three times its $50 million budget. Rating: Rated PG-13 for explicit language and thematic elements.

Accepted

Bartleby Gaines (Justin Long) has hustled through life. His scams, like creating fake IDs, helped line his pockets with cash even without good grades. Academics were never a priority for the teenager, at least not until his high school graduation. Gaines' parents insist that he enrolls in college, reiterating that an education is the key to success. While the teenager loathes the idea of attending a university, he still wants to please mom and dad, and so he begins applying to schools right and left. Yet for each application there is an inevitable rejection. The kid who could con his way into anything has hit an unexpected roadblock. Still Bartleby is desperate to impress his parents, and so he concocts an unbelievable scheme to create a fictional university with guaranteed admittance. Founding the South Harmon Institute of Technology (take note of the acronym the name spells out) was just a matter of creating an acceptance letter, complete with an official school logo and letterhead. The underachiever's parents were elated that a college finally accepted their son. Mom and dad still wanted to know more about South Harmon though, and an Internet search returned zero results. No sweat. Gaines contracts his nerdy best friend, Sherman (Jonah Hill) to create an impressive and convincing website for the make-believe school. When his parents want to visit South Harmon's campus, however, Bartleby's plan seems like it will derail. Or maybe not. The two buds discover an abandoned, rundown mental hospital up for lease and begin renovating it. South Harmon also adds three more similarly pathetic students to its roster: Yale reject Rory (Maria Thayer), Hands (Columbus Short) a former jock, and Glen (Adam Herschman) an all around bonehead. On opening day the school is a success – too big of a success. Hundreds of people stumbled upon the South Harmon website, submitted registrations, and are now ready with their cash in hand. What began as a hoax between friends is now a legitimate school, and after collecting more than a $1 million in tuition, Bartleby is obligated to provide some sort of education – regardless of how futile it may be. Sherman's uncle, Ben Lewis (comedian Lewis Black) becomes the college's dean. Slowly a curriculum is built around self-learning that, despite its outwardly juvenile appearance, begins to rival nearby Harmon university. When Harmon students begin flocking to South Harmon, the distinguished university's dean, Richard Van Horne (Anthony Heald) is determined to shut it down. The future of Gaines' school is in doubt, but don't expect him to throw in the towel just yet. Accepted's soundtrack features a wide range of artists and genres including 80s group Simple Minds (in a nod to The Breakfast Club), Ryan Adams, Weezer, and many more. Filmed under the constraints of a $23 million budget, the picture garnered $38 million worldwide. It earned two Teen Choice Award nominations. Rating: Rated PG-13 for explicit language, sexual material, and drug content.

The Prince & Me

Prince Edward, despite his royalty, is by most standards your average twenty-something guy. He enjoys racing cars and beautiful girls, a pastime that earns him unwelcome publicity in his native Denmark. Yet despite having what would appear to be the perfect life, Edward yearns for independence; he has a desire to understand what it is like to be a common person. More importantly, he yearns to find a common girl – not merely someone of royal lineage who he may or may not actually love. However he has no idea of how to make his dreams a reality until he stumbles upon the infamous American video series, “Girls Gone Wild” where drunken college girls expose themselves in front of cameras. Naïve, Edward believes that if he travels to an American college campus, in this case one in Wisconsin he will be able to meet loose girls like those in the video. This leads Edward to beg his parents to send him to America and fend for himself the following year; his mother sternly objects, but his father believes it would be a good experience for the pampered prince and sends him on his way. Accompanying Edward on his trip is Soren, the prince’s personal secretary. Upon arriving at the university the two accidentally strike Paige with their fancy car. While Paige does not get a glimpse of Edward (who has now adopted the nickname ‘Eddie’), he does get a clear gaze of her, which would in turn lead to an obsession. Eddie eventually sees his love again at a local bar and makes a rather obnoxious pass at her. Rather than respond similarly Paige has the prince ejected from the building. Yet Eddie will have another shot when the two are assigned as lab partners in their chemistry class. With time, Paige begins to enjoy Eddie’s company and they soon become a couple. Unbeknownst to Paige, and indeed the entire campus is that the foreign exchange student is a prince. Naturally Paige discovers Edward’s fib and is less than thrilled, especially after her photo is plastered across international tabloids while in lip lock with him. Even if the small town girl should decide to forgive Eddie, would she be willing to forfeit her career as a doctor and accept the title of princess, and eventually queen? “The Prince and Me” was nominated for a Teen Choice Award. This movie is rated PG for some sex-related material and language.

Blades of Glory

Blades of Glory is about Chazz Michaels who is a disgraced male figure skater played by funnyman Will Ferrell plays, who has the skill to mesh the seemingly wimpy sport with the actor’s famous frat boy/jock personality, creating a very unusual and entertaining combination. Jon Heder plays Chazz’s antagonist, the effeminate and germophobic Jimmy MacElroy. Both Chazz and Jimmy are banned from professional ice-skating after the two break out in a fight during an awards ceremony. For the years following the incident Chazz performed at children’s events, though after succumbing to obesity and alcoholism he was fired. Jimmy’s interim job at a sporting goods store’s footwear department was no more glamorous, especially after a brat’s complaint relegated him to the stockroom. Fortunately, every cloud has a silver lining; in Jimmy’s case it was an obsessed fan named Hector (Nick Swardson), who stalked the former skater until finding him at work. Desperate to see Jimmy back on the ice, Hector studied the competition’s rules; while Jimmy could never participate individually, he could compete as a pair skater – and so he began searching for a female partner.

Wedding Daze

When Anderson musters up the courage to propose, he does so naked, donning only a cupid's arrow and heart.

No woman could replace Vanessa, prohibiting him from pursuing a new relationship. Best friend Ted (Michael Weston) attempts to lift Anderson's spirits and suggests a radical solution: simply propose to a random, attractive woman. He begrudgingly agrees, expecting a firm 'no!' in response. Instead his target, a waitress, accepts his proposal immediately -- much to Anderson's and the entire diner's amazement. Katie (Isla Fisher) is unhappily ****** William (Chris Diamantopoulos), and searching for a means to escape the relationship. Marriage to another man, she decides, is the ultimate solution to her woes.

Things begin to unhinge however when Katie's dad, Smitty (Joe Pantoliano) breaks out of jail to attend the wedding. When the bride makes an offensive comment about Vanessa, Anderson brings the event to a halt. Meanwhile William seizes this ******* and attempts to woo Vanessa back into his arms.

Just Like Heaven

Dr. Elizabeth Masterson is a professional in her late 20s whose biological clock is ticking; between her years as a medical student and later a practicing physician, she simply has not had enough time to take part in the ****** scene, much less form a long lasting relationship. While this may seem depressing for some, Elizabeth actually takes some pride in it: a commitment to a man or children would mean sacrificing time from her career, the only thing that matters to her. Our first introduction to the young physician is in a dream sequence, one that she fell into after working 26 hours straight at the hospital. Soon a co-worker wakes her up and we’re returned to reality, where a gunshot wound victim has just entered the emergency room. Intent on impressing her supervisor to win an important promotion, she volunteers to operate on the new arrival; to Elizabeth’s disappointment her co-worker, Brett, is awarded the duty since he has “only been working 13 hours” – still no small sum. Yet her supervisor is impressed by her continued commitment and finally promotes Elizabeth as an attending physician. Elizabeth is elated and quickly, though drowsily heads out the door. Rather than take some much-needed rest, Elizabeth heads to her matchmaking sister, Abby (Dina Waters). Abby believes she has found the doctor’s perfect man, and has arranged for the two to have dinner at her home. As Elizabeth calls Abby and lets her know she is on the way, she slams head on into a large truck and the screen goes black. David Abbot is a successful architect whose wife passed away two years ago. Since then his life has been devoid of any true meaning, and to compensate he pops open a bottle of beer and drinks himself to sleep each night. David has recently moved into an apartment that Elizabeth once occupied. He is shocked when a woman appears pestering him about his cleanliness and demanding that he leave her home. David believes that he must be hallucinating and quickly meets his friend, a psychologist, who merely suggests that David leave the house more often. With time David realizes that he is not hallucinating, and that the woman is Elizabeth’s ghost; for some reason she is not alive, but she is not dead either. Elizabeth has no idea who she is, or how she transformed into this state of limbo, yet with David’s help she attempts to find out. David and Elizabeth meet each other as foes, but as they bond with one another they begin to realize their joining was not coincidental. Along the way the couple experience genuinely emotional moments, but not without occasional laughs. The film proves to be much more than another life after death story and is sure to please. This movie is rated PG-13 for some sexual content.

Troy Gable (Colin Hanks) is a newbie law student who yearns to be a Hollywood screenwriter. Against his father's wishes, Troy secretly leaves school to become an assistant for The Great Buck Howard (John Malkovich), a washed up magician whose popularity peaked in the mid-1970s. Once a frequent guest of Johnny Carson's and a Vegas celebrity, Howard now earns a living performing at small town venues, usually to older audiences. Traveling alongside Howard to cities such as Akron, OH and Bakersfield, CA is not exactly glamorous, especially given the magician's verbal abuse and erratic, grandiose behavior. Nevertheless, Troy is intrigued by Buck and does learn a thing or two about showbiz. Despite accusations from friends and family that Troy is wasting his life and education, he continues to believe in Howard's possible return to stardom. Up and coming New York publicist Valerie Brennan (Emily Blunt) believes that Howard's career can be resurrected too, assuming she can tolerate his insults and diva-like theatrics. Valerie has gathered a dozen of Cincinnati's top media outlets at Buck's latest show, where he intends to send a crowd of 200 individuals into deep sleep. The outcome of the mentalist's performance could propel Howard back into the limelight, or merely solidify his has-been status. Concurrently, Valerie and Troy's business relationship transforms into a romantic affair, though his strange loyalty to Buck could drive them apart. Has Troy truly thrown away his future by joining Howard, or does the experience mark a new chapter in the young man's life? Who is the real Buck Howard, and are his acts purely illusional or truly magical? The Great Buck Howard is loosely based upon real life mentalist The Amazing Kreskin and director Sean McGinly's experience touring with him. Rating: Rated PG for some explicit language including suggestive remarks, and a drug reference.

The Producers

After putting together another Broadway flop, down-on-his-luck producer Max Bialystock teams up with timid accountant Leo Bloom in a get-rich-quick scheme to put on the world's worst show. Broadway producer Max Bialystock is famous for his spectacular opening night flops. Leopold Bloom is an uptight accountant who virtually discovers gold while reviewing Max's books. When Leo realizes that you can actually make more money with a flop than with a hit, the two team up and begin a search for both the worst script and the worst director they can find to ensure failure. The script selection seems easy when the duo stumble upon Springtime For Hitler, an homage to the Fuhrer penned by Franz Liebkind, a German sympathetic to the Nazi cause. Convinced that the script will incite outrage, the duo needs a bad director to seal the deal. Campy director Roger DeBris and his assistant fit the bill perfectly. But when their scheme fails, Max and Leo find themselves with the worst possible outcome: a hit. To make matters worse, Franz is just a little peeved that Hitler was depicted disrespectfully--and he has a gun. Will Max and Leo survive the playwright's wrath? Will they go to jail for cooking the books? And will Leo ever submit to the advances of sexy Swedish receptionist/actress Ulla? This movie is rated PG-13 for sexual humor and references.

Made Of Honor

It Takes A Real Man To Become A Maid Of Honor Patrick Dempsey is Tom a wealthy womanizer living the high life in New York City. He happily hops from bed to bed, living by a firm set of rules that keeps him from becoming romantically entangled with anyone. The only woman he makes time for is his dear college friend, Hannah, whom he sees weekly, and whom he adores. When Hannah suddenly takes off for Scotland on a job assignment, Tom misses her terribly, and has a dramatic realization about their relationship. He makes a plan to tell her about it as soon as she gets back, but of course she returns with a handsome Scottish fiancé in tow. To make matters worse, she informs Tom that she must make wedding plans rather quickly, and would he please, please, please be her Maid of Honor? The tale quickly escalates into over-the-top, barely believable plot twists, forcing the viewer to turn a blind eye to any holes in the story and instead focus on the pretty clothes and Dempsey's dimples. It shifts into full-on fantasy mode, with rugged lads on horseback, Scottish castles, and gargantuan New York apartments that only Bill Gates himself could afford. Monaghan is likeable and lovely in her role as the confused bride, but the star here is undoubtedly Dempsey. This movie is rated PG-13 for sexual content and language.

Daddy Day Camp

Charlie and his best friend Phil have mastered the daycare business and hope to conqueror the summer camp industry next. However Charlie's new interest is not rooted in financial benefit, nor is it an altruistic affair. When he learns that his childhood rival Lance Warner has started a camping venture, Charlie is determined to defeat him once and for all. In order to accomplish this feat Phil and Charlie purchase a dilapidated, abandoned campground and attempt to renovate it. With some tender, love and care they begin making progress and soon welcome their first batch of campers. Still, conditions at Camp Driftwood are less than ideal; several new arrivals return home, leaving only the most difficult children behind. Among the troublesome kids are a hillbilly thug, a smart alec girl, and a boy who vomits without warning, and usually on someone. It quickly becomes evident that the guys need help, and so they enlist Charlie's no nonsense ex-military dad, Col. Buck Hinton for the job. Tension builds between the colonel and Charlie, who vividly remembers his rugged dad's disappointment after being defeated by Lance more than 30 years ago. Fearing that history will repeat itself, Charlie attempts to coach his son Ben with extreme gentleness, abandoning his father's abrasive style. Eventually both Ben and his father will discover that success lies somewhere between rigidity and compassion. But more importantly everyone at camp will learn the value of teamwork, self-esteem and perseverance. With all of these skills at hand Camp Driftwood might have what it takes to beat Lance’s Camp Canola at an upcoming Olympiad and Charlie can finally reconcile his traumatic childhood defeat. While Daddy Day Camp did not perform as well at box offices like its predecessor, Daddy Day Care, it was a modest success; with a meager budget of just $6 million it more than doubled its investment, grossing over $18 million worldwide.

Zoom

They're going to save the world . . . as long as they're home for dinner Former superhero Jack is called back to work to transform an unlikely group of ragtag kids into superheroes at a private Academy. Together they'll learn to work as a team and save the world from an evil menace set on total destruction. Peter Hewitt's family-friendly adventure film, ZOOM, stars Tim Allen as an aging former superhero who is reluctantly called back on the job. Years ago, Jack was adopted for a government program that capitalized on the oddities of unusual children. Under the influence of super-strength-building Gamma rays, Jack became the lightning-fast Zoom, and joined the Zenith team, a group of other similarly cultivated superheroes that included his brother, Concussion. But Concussion went bad, betrayed his fellows, and Zoom was the only one to survive; since then, he has rescinded his powers. Now the government, alarmed at Concussion's approach from another dimension, wants to put together another Zenith team with Jack as their leader. The officials, including Chevy Chase and Rip Torn, assemble a motley crew of youths that includes a six-year-old "princess" with superhuman strength, and an innocuous-looking chubby boy who can grow parts of his body at will. Two teenagers are also on hand, and they fall in love, while the initially reluctant Jack, who suffered much at the hands of the Zenith team and has since become bitter about the possibility of heroes, begins to open up to the kids. He also finds love with the bumbling, admiring child psychologist who has been assigned to the case. Although the story is somewhat formulaic and the characters thinly drawn, the film's message comes across strongly: the qualities that make a misfit are the very ones that give strength. This movie is rated PG for brief rude humor, language and mild action.

Homeland Security

Henry Durand (Colin Hanks) refused to follow in the criminal footsteps of his imprisoned father, and opted to become an FBI agent instead. Shortly after becoming an agent for the bureau he left his mother, Marty (Meg Ryan) at home to pursue a three year long investigation. While Henry was away, Marty dropped more than 100 pounds and began to date men half her age. At night she was an uninhibited party animal who drove men of all ages wild. An Albanian playboy named Tommy Lucero (Antonio Banderas) was one of Marty's many admirers. His attractive looks, smooth demeanor, and sexy foreign accent were undeniable turn ons for Henry's mom. Soon a serious relationship developed and the couple was inseparable. The FBI knows Tommy's ugly side however, whose true moniker is Tomas Martinez, an international art thief who has just escaped from a French prison. For months the bureau has been trailing Martinez and now, by coincidence, Henry has established a direct and natural relationship with their target. In essence, agent Durand can go undercover without really being undercover. Since Tommy and Marty are frequently together, the FBI is forced to place both individuals under surveillance. That means Henry must listen to and witness his mother's most intimate and private moments with the thief -- regardless of how uncomfortable it makes him feel. Durand cannot even vent to his wife and fellow agent, Emily (Selma Blair) due to bureau regulations. Worse yet, he cannot warn his mother that she is in love with an internationally known gangster. Soundtrack features songs by punk rockers The Lemonheads and funk legends The Ohio Players.

An Albanian playboy named Tommy Lucero (Antonio Banderas) was one of Marty's many admirers. His attractive looks, smooth demeanor, and sexy foreign accent were undeniable turn ons for Henry's mom. Soon a serious relationship developed and the couple was inseparable. The FBI knows Tommy's ugly side however, whose true moniker is Tomas Martinez, an international art thief who has just escaped from a French prison. For months the bureau has been trailing Martinez and now, by coincidence, Henry has established a direct and natural relationship with their target. In essence, agent Durand can go undercover without really being undercover. Since Tommy and Marty are frequently together, the FBI is forced to place both individuals under surveillance. That means Henry must listen to and witness his mother's most intimate and private moments with the thief -- regardless of how uncomfortable it makes him feel. Durand cannot even vent to his wife and fellow agent, Emily (Selma Blair) due to bureau regulations. Worse yet, he cannot warn his mother that she is in love with an internationally known gangster. Soundtrack features songs by punk rockers The Lemonheads and funk legends The Ohio Players.

The Nanny Diaries

Annie 'Nanny' Braddock (Scarlett Johansson) has just graduated from Montclair State University with a degree in anthropology. Although she is uncertain about her direction, Annie has landed a job interview with a prominent New York bank, and her chances for success seem high. Unfortunately she botches the interview, but is too ashamed to return to her native New Jersey as a failure; she decides that some time away from home to ponder her future might be a good idea. Living by oneself naturally requires money, which Annie does not have. An interesting job opportunity comes her way one day while daydreaming at a nearby park. She witnesses a young boy in a uniform stumble in front of a vehicle certain to face death; the anthropologist jumps to save the child and risks her own life in the process. Unbeknownst to Annie the boy's mother, Manhattan socialite Mrs. Alexandra X (Laura Linney) witnessed the act of heroism. Upon thanking the recent graduate, Alexandra asks the heroine her name, mistakenly hearing the word "nanny." Coincidentally she needs a nanny to look after her son, Grayer (Nicholas Art) and offers Annie the position. She accepts Alexandra's offer, but lies to her parents in New Jersey, leading them to believe their daughter was hired as a banker. At first Grayer's new nanny is elated to stay in the family's extremely posh home -- at least until Alexandra shows Annie her dingy bedroom. Annie has devised a way to benefit from the experience however, glamorous or not. The family's home soon becomes the site of empirical research, where Annie analyzes the lives of New York's upper crust and their associated social dilemmas. What she learns may one day prove to be an invaluable asset to the up and coming anthropologist. The job is no picnic though. Shopaholic Alexandra has an endless list of tasks for the nanny, while her adulterer husband, Mr. Stan X (Paul Giamatti) samples a wide array of women on the side. Grayer is influenced by his shallow parents, and proves to be equally problematic and in desperate need of a meaningful role model. Luckily, Annie has newfound friend Lynette (R&B songstress Alicia Keys) to provide support, and a male love interest upstairs: Harvard graduate Hayden (Chris Evans). Soundtrack features tunes by 80s group Simply Red, George Michael, WAR, and many more. The Nanny Diaries was a box office success, earning twice its $20 million budget. Rating: Rated PG-13 for explicit language.

The Polar Express

At 8-years old Hero Boy (voiced by Tom Hanks), like most children his age, is beginning to doubt the existence of Santa Claus. His maturing sense of logic realizes that no sled could possibly hold millions of gifts, much less travel at the speed of light required to deliver them. The idea of an overweight, elderly man climbing down chimneys seems equally implausible. With that in mind he decides to definitively disprove St. Nick's existence and vows to stay awake for the remainder of the night, waiting for the mythical man (not) to arrive. Around midnight the boy's room begins to shake, prompting him to don his robe and run outside to investigate. Unexplainably, a lengthy passenger train has stopped along his neighborhood street, and its conductor (also voiced by Hanks) asks the confused boy to come aboard. The train in question is the Polar Express, a magical railway that transports Santa's skeptics directly to the North Pole. At first he declines the conductor's offer, but swiftly jumps aboard when the train starts moving. Hero Boy is greeted by three other children: Hero Girl (Nona Gaye), a female counterpart of sorts, the impoverished and sad Lonely Boy (Peter Scolari), and the aptly titled Know-It-All (Eddie Deezen), a smart-alecky kid who has a pompous answer for everything. Atop the train's roof is a bizarre hobo who, alongside Hero Boy, literally escapes death by just a few inches before the journey's end. Together the four youngsters discover that reality is not merely shaped by a thing's physical existence or lack thereof, but by one's belief or disbelief in its spirit. The gifts that Hero Boy receives that night, although not material, are enough to last a thousand Christmases. The Polar Express was the first film composed entirely using motion capture computer-animation, a method where real actors' movements are digitally manipulated. It was a commercial and critical success, earning $306 million internationally and 3 Oscar nominations. The picture's soundtrack features traditional Christmas songs such as Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town, White Christmas, and even a holiday track from Aerosmith's Steven Tyler. Rating: G

Stealing Harvard

John Plummer tries to make a bold statement to his fiancé, Elaine, and her wealthy father that he doesn’t need any financial assistance, especially Elaine’s father’s, to secure a home for both him and Elaine. Mr. Warner, Elaine’s father, already considers John unworthy of his daughter, as he his John’s employer. To add unto this already pressing situation, John’s family comes knocking on his bank account. John’s niece, Noreen brings a serious moral and financial dilemma to John when she shows him a video in which John made a promise that he would help her with her college education when the time came. Unfortunately for John, the timing couldn’t be worse. Noreen has just been accepted to Harvard University and needs an additional $30,000 on top of her grants to get her through her education, which is all of John’s life savings. John needs to find a way to come up with the extra cash and fast. His only quick option comes from his high school loser landscaping friend Walter ‘Duff’ Duffy. Duff convinces John that it wouldn’t be unethical to steal money from one of his rich clients, as the insurance company would reimburse the amount, and imposes his belief that they deserve to give back to society. John describes Duff as “A man whose ideas were sometimes so dumb they were brilliant.” Listening to Duff takes John on a journey through the dumb, absurd, and improbable. In one of the film’s climactic comic scenes, Elaine’s father gets a hold of an incriminating photograph, of John in bed and in drag, which he shows to his daughter. This movie is rated R for crude and sexual humor, language and drug references.

Zoom

They're going to save the world . . . as long as they're home for dinner Former superhero Jack is called back to work to transform an unlikely group of ragtag kids into superheroes at a private Academy. Together they'll learn to work as a team and save the world from an evil menace set on total destruction. Peter Hewitt's family-friendly adventure film, ZOOM, stars Tim Allen as an aging former superhero who is reluctantly called back on the job. Years ago, Jack was adopted for a government program that capitalized on the oddities of unusual children. Under the influence of super-strength-building Gamma rays, Jack became the lightning-fast Zoom, and joined the Zenith team, a group of other similarly cultivated superheroes that included his brother, Concussion. But Concussion went bad, betrayed his fellows, and Zoom was the only one to survive; since then, he has rescinded his powers. Now the government, alarmed at Concussion's approach from another dimension, wants to put together another Zenith team with Jack as their leader. The officials, including Chevy Chase and Rip Torn, assemble a motley crew of youths that includes a six-year-old "princess" with superhuman strength, and an innocuous-looking chubby boy who can grow parts of his body at will. Two teenagers are also on hand, and they fall in love, while the initially reluctant Jack, who suffered much at the hands of the Zenith team and has since become bitter about the possibility of heroes, begins to open up to the kids. He also finds love with the bumbling, admiring child psychologist who has been assigned to the case. Although the story is somewhat formulaic and the characters thinly drawn, the film's message comes across strongly: the qualities that make a misfit are the very ones that give strength. This movie is rated PG for brief rude humor, language and mild action.

Daddy Day Camp

Charlie and his best friend Phil have mastered the daycare business and hope to conqueror the summer camp industry next. However Charlie's new interest is not rooted in financial benefit, nor is it an altruistic affair. When he learns that his childhood rival Lance Warner has started a camping venture, Charlie is determined to defeat him once and for all. In order to accomplish this feat Phil and Charlie purchase a dilapidated, abandoned campground and attempt to renovate it. With some tender, love and care they begin making progress and soon welcome their first batch of campers. Still, conditions at Camp Driftwood are less than ideal; several new arrivals return home, leaving only the most difficult children behind. Among the troublesome kids are a hillbilly thug, a smart alec girl, and a boy who vomits without warning, and usually on someone. It quickly becomes evident that the guys need help, and so they enlist Charlie's no nonsense ex-military dad, Col. Buck Hinton for the job. Tension builds between the colonel and Charlie, who vividly remembers his rugged dad's disappointment after being defeated by Lance more than 30 years ago. Fearing that history will repeat itself, Charlie attempts to coach his son Ben with extreme gentleness, abandoning his father's abrasive style. Eventually both Ben and his father will discover that success lies somewhere between rigidity and compassion. But more importantly everyone at camp will learn the value of teamwork, self-esteem and perseverance. With all of these skills at hand Camp Driftwood might have what it takes to beat Lance’s Camp Canola at an upcoming Olympiad and Charlie can finally reconcile his traumatic childhood defeat. While Daddy Day Camp did not perform as well at box offices like its predecessor, Daddy Day Care, it was a modest success; with a meager budget of just $6 million it more than doubled its investment, grossing over $18 million worldwide.
