Jesse Stone: Death in Paradise

It’s hard to grieve the loss of someone you love. About all you have is your memories and perhaps somewhere which marks their life. Jesse Stone (Tom Selleck) lost his girl Abby Taylor (Polly Shannon) in an earlier movie, Stone Cold (2005). He visits her grave, kneels, chokes up, squeezes out a tear at the memory of her death.

The Jewel of the Nile

Truth is a slippery topic. Often it depends upon your point of view. There is an old maxim that says something like “history is written by the victors.” Joan Wilder (Kathleen Turner) learns all about it after being lured to write a puff piece about a middle eastern ruler by the name of Omar (Spiros Focas). She discovers that he is a brutal theocrat and that, until she agrees to finish the article to introduce him to the world as a benevolent, enlightened ruler working to unite the Arab world, she’ll languish in prison. Enter her somewhat world weary swain Jack Colton (Michael Douglas).

Jerry Maguire

Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise) is a sports agent working for a big agency who has a crisis of faith. As a result, he authors a mission statement for the sports management business and how he believes that it should operate. After circulating it to all staff, he’s applauded by his fellow employees who are touched by the honesty of the document but the owners want him fired. Jerry is clearing out his desk and calls upon others to join him but the only one to take up the banner is Dorothy Bird (Renée Zellweger). It’s easy to figure out how many can talk the talk but hesitate to walk the walk.

Just My Luck

How many bad days can you have? Is it possible to be plain unlucky? Ashley Albright (Lindsay Lohan) seems to think so. After a string of unfortunate events, she ducks out of a store in the mistaken belief that things have changed. She swings her arms in delight and slams a fist into an innocent pedestrian taking him out with a somersault flip. As the homily goes, some days are better than others.
