Panic Room

How safe is safe? Newly divorced Meg Altman (Jodie Foster) and her daughter Sarah (Kristen Stewart) think that having a panic room in her 24,000 sq. ft., 6 bedroom new house is a bonus. When a trio of bandits breaks in, the two of them find it handy for safety. But it becomes a prison when the baddies flash her notes that what interests them is in the room and they’re not leaving until they get it.

Practical Magic

You know how some folks always seem to suffer a degree of humiliation whenever a choice is involved? No, I don’t mean things like picking tomatoes at the grocery store. Usually it has to do with doing stuff. You get picked for the rude stuff but passed over for the cool stuff. Sally Owens (Sandra Bullock) know that feeling only too well and is bummed that it happens to her. All she wants is to be chosen for the phone tree. Her sister Gillian (Nicole Kidman) wants to help but Sally know that getting picked isn’t going to happen. About the only thing worse is that she turns up naked at school without her homework.

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl

What sort of sign do you need to tell you that you’ve met your intended? How can you tell if it is true or just a quirk of circumstance? Captain James Norrington (Jack Davenport) of the Royal Navy is being promoted to Commodore. During the ceremony, he proposes to Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley). Before answering, she faints and tumbles into the bay not because she is swooning with delight but rather the corset she was wearing was so tight that she had trouble breathing.

Premonition

Grief can crush us like a stone. It can shut out all other voices trying to intrude into our consciousness. Other distraction pale in comparison.
