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.

Van Wilder

I could teach Van Wilder (Ryan Reynolds) a thing or two. I spent eight years at university. Mind you, I got a degree and almost had a second one while Van spends seven years as an undergrad. But it is always a dilemma whether to get out into the world or stay in the familiar cocoon of school. You can always find a party, friends are everywhere and nobody much bothers you as long as you pay your fees and don’t fail too often. But sometimes looking over the fence, you see what more life in the world has to offer and it comes down to deciding whether to return and register or find a job. But it means asking what’s out there that you can’t get in here? Well, there’s Gwen Pearson (Tara Reid) for one.

Mr. Deeds

How much can you stomach in the way of cheap comments about what you do and how you do it in order to maintain a polite veneer? Longfellow Deeds (Adam Sandler) is at dinner with several New York cognoscenti when his poetry as a part-time greeting card writer is mocked. He is too polite to react as he’s in the company of Babe Bennett (Winona Ryder) but when she says she thinks they deserve what’s coming to them. He turns around and punches one out, slams another’s head into a table and drops a third through a table before paying off for the damages.

Sweet Home Alabama

When you decide to go home for a visit after being away for seven years, it is probably a good idea not to drop by your local bar and get completely shit-faced. Particularly if you didn’t leave under the best of circumstances. Melanie Carmichael (Reese Witherspoon) is now a successful New York fashion designer but she needs to get her high school husband to sign the divorce papers he’s been reluctant to do. A boatload of shots loosens her tongue to the extent that she outs Bobby Ray (Ethan Embry), her old high school chum, and moves on to confirm the rumour that she married Jake Perry (Josh Lucas) because he got her pregnant under the bleachers. Topping off her evening out, she pukes regally all over the front seat of Jake’s truck as he tries to take her home. Ahhh… those high school memories.

Enough

How much of yourself are you willing to sacrifice to protect those you love and yourself? To the public, Slim Hiller (Jennifer Lopez) had a perfect life but privately she was at the behest of her domineering husband Mitch (Billy Campbell) who kept her terrified by threats and swats. After fleeing their house with her daughter and moving from place to place, she decides to make a stand. Little does her pompous husband know how much her hate can evolve into defending herself and daughter. His arrogance is in for the kicking of its petty little life.
