Ultraviolet

What does it take to prove you’re human? Violet Song jat Shariff (Milla Jovovich), a courier, discovers it takes a battery of tests. She’s ushered into a sterile room where they immobilize her, stick probes into her bloodstream and eyes, her mouth and teeth to verify breathing after which she is scanned again for bone, blood and tissue irregularities just so she can pick up a package for delivery and it turns out she is a fraud anyway. Oh dear…

Underworld

Have you ever met someone with whom you are certain that you’ll be with forever? Nope, neither have I. But watch Selene (Kate Beckinsale) step of that balcony in the rain, clad in that long leather coat and those thigh high buckle-up boots and land with such ease, walking away with grace and you’ll be sure she is the one. Mind you the vampire thing might be something of a problem.

Uptown Girls

What’s so great about being a grown-up? I’ve wondered about that for years. I imagine you have too. Aside from needing a stipend to live on, being an adult can be overrated. Molly Gunn (Brittany Murphy) seems to be doing fine, living off her inheritance. Sure, she hasn’t accomplished much, doesn’t have many real friends and can’t seem to cope with the day-to-day intricacies of city living. But she is having fun as long as her accountant Bob pays the bills. Now broke, homeless and in need of a job, she becomes a nanny for Ray Schliene (Dakota Fanning) and they have yet to connect. In a snit, Molly quits her job, walks out of the kitchen and slams the door. Unfortunately for her, it is a swinging door. Yeah, that sure does sting and likely will leave a scar.

U.S. Marshals

I don’t know how many days it took to film, how many people were involved, what sort of complexity it took to place the cameras, how often they had to do it to get it right or who did the actual stunt. I just sit there open-mouthed when United States Marshall Sam Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones) opens that roof door to see Mark Roberts/Mark Warren/Mark Sheridan (Wesley Snipes) standing on the edge of the roof facing towards the street and says he can’t be arrested because of what he knows. Mark Whatever then leans out, tumbles off the edge of the roof, swings down attached to some rope and swings out and over the street to the rail yards and lands on the roof of the station and leaps onto a train car leaving for elsewhere. My little heart goes pitty-pat every time.
