How many of us are closet rockers? I know I am if only I could sing in tune. And so is Rosalie Mullins (Joan Cusack) who thinks she can be a cool as Stevie Nicks at least in her mind. Dewey Finn (Jack Black) takes her to lunch to exploit this whim and to con her into a field trip. A little smooth talk, a little juke box magic and a whole lot of misdirection soon has her moving to the dark side.

Dr. Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina) is a brilliant scientist and Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) finds him to be a kindred spirit after meeting with him to get some background for a school report. He may be the mentor for which Peter has been searching as he has time for both romance and science much like Peter would like to have with Mary Jane Parker (Kirsten Dunst). But Peter’s view of him is sadly torn asunder when he discovers that this kind and gentle soul has morphed into Doc Ock following the laboratory accident which has fused mechanical arms to his body and killed his beloved.

Simon Templar (Val Kilmer) is a bold master thief and impersonator who sells his services to the highest bidder. When he is offered $8 million to steal the formula for cold fusion, he doesn’t hesitate. Off to Russia to turn it over to his employer, he is confronted in a Moscow bar by Dr. Emma Russell (Elisabeth Shue), the formula inventor who has followed him. He is gobsmacked to discover that she would have given it to him if only he had asked for it. What he doesn’t seem to understand is her view that science should be free for everybody and one shouldn’t hoard such secrets. Too much time spent in the foggy corridors of spies and evil-doers? It seems likely.

Isn’t it annoying when someone drops one of those quotes in the middle of a conversation and you can’t confirm or deny it, there and then? Archie Knox (Alec Baldwin), a famous book editor, is trying to impress Brett Eisenberg (Sarah Michelle Gellar), a newly minted associate editor by quoting Date’s definition of hell (“Proximity without intimacy”). She tell him Dante never said that and he has to back down after looking it up and not finding it. It is a great definition though.

My home has been burglarized three times. None of the robberies netted the cowards more that ten grand and I was never at home when they happened. But the sense of violation when I returned home was a price almost to high to pay. I didn’t feel safe. I wanted to strike out at someone, something, somewhere. The embrace of revenge passed but the tickling of societal betrayal remains. Sarah Fenn (Kate Mara) hears the tinkling of cutlery and know someone is inside her house. As he attacks, she shotguns him all over the room. Sadly for her, he wasn’t alone. And this intruder decides he want to toy with her. But a little thought might have led him to wear a cup.
