The Contractor

The difference between what you’ve seen and what you believe you’ve seen can be enormous. Ballard (Lena Headey) sees the surveillance footage of her father’s (Charles Dance) murder and believes that James Dial (Wesley Snipes) is the cause not knowing he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Cleaner

During my career, I changed job locations exactly twice. I had a number of other chances to take different jobs but the prospect of all the changes associated with new work was too daunting. A new job in a new location isn’t just a matter of getting in a car and turning left instead of right. There is the matter of friends from work and how to maintain the relationships, there is the matter of frequented shops for food and drink and minor purchases made every day, there is the matter of how to organize your day within your employer’s infrastructure. All this can lead to many awkward moments when you meet, by chance, someone from your old job after settling into the new one. Tom Carver (Samuel L. Jackson), an ex-cop who now cleans up bio waste, knows this well. He has moved on to establish a new career but the reception he gets from his old partner, Eddie Lorenzo (Ed Harris), makes him wonder whether any engendered loyalty remains or is he now just a citizen who should queue up like the rest. Or maybe Eddie just doesn’t understand why he had to move on.

Wasn’t it one of the Wolfe boys who said that you can’t go home again? I suppose it is true in an abstract sense since all places and those returning are not the same as time passes. You can go back but you shouldn’t expect things to be the same as when you left. Tory Bodeen (Claire Forlani) is back to stay in her small home town but she’s not expecting much to be different when she left. Via a psychic vision, she knew where to find the body of her best friend Hope who had been murdered, the first of a string that continues every year on the same day. Her father had been the principal suspect when he was paid off to skip town. Folks are not too welcoming when she begins to open up her small shop on main street. But a few are able to move beyond the gossip. Cade Lavelle (Oliver Hudson) is still goofy over her and his sister Faith (Josie Davis) proves to be a fountain of support that Tory (and Faith) finds surprising.

I don’t have an inclination to be famous. It seems to me to be a self-defeating process. The more you make yourself open to be scavanged by those who think that others want to know about you, the less you are who you want or need to be. Roxie Hart (Renée Zellweger) and Velma Kelly (Catherine Zeta-Jones) both seem to live, dream and yearn for fame. It is their direction in life and the only way they can make a living and remain in the spotlight. But what gyrations they must go through to gain the appreciation by others.

Confessions of a Sociopathic Social Climber

What would you do to climb the social ladder? Spread malicious gossip, do some discrete blackmail, sleep around? Sure, why not? The view from the top is better and the perks are glamourous. Katya Livingstone (Jennifer Love Hewitt) is working her way up the social ladder. One of the steps on that ladder is an invite to a gala but she’s still too many rungs down to get one. But she finds out where the hostess Dove Greenstein (Stefanie von Pfetten) is getting a salon massage and wax. Subbing for a masseuse doing the waxing, Katya captures on film the hirsute hostess with the intention of swapping the polaroid for an invitation.
