It is never a good idea to piss off a woman, especially one who carries weapons. Anna Valerious (Kate Beckinsale) is preparing to go after the vampires as she sheathes a sword, slips a knife into a boot sheathe, checks and holsters a pistol, grabs a pointy hammer and strides with determination towards the castle keep. Gabriel Van Helsing (Hugh Jackman) sprays her with a knockout gas and, when she awakes, she goes looking for him.

This is my kind of movie. But it isn’t the kind of movie that one should consume snacks while watching, particularly liquids. You’d be surprised how far you can snort a mouthful of tea. Shaun (Simon Pegg) and his buddy Ed (Nick Frost) stumble drunkenly out of their local singing along to some incomprehensible (to me but not them) tune when they see a figure down the block braying. They turn to one another and decide this is just the counterpoint they need for their song and the stranger want to sing along.

I’ve been interviewed a number of times for newspapers and been peripheral to events in other stories. It is always a vague disappointment when they fail to get the details correct. Indeed, it got to the stage where I’d pass on chances to talk to the media for fear that they’d orient any commentary to their particular agency’s agenda. When that meanie TV reporter Heather Jasper-Howe (Alicia Silverstone) corners Fred (Freddie Prinze Jr.) and twists his words around, I felt nothing but empathy for the poor sod. At least in my case, the reporter didn’t stick their mic in my face. I dread to think how they would have cut the video I did.

I don’t know how you felt watching this movie. Despite the thin plot, I found myself thinking these folks can’t get much cooler than this. Even when Tess Ocean (Julia Roberts) is cajoled into playing Julia Roberts to let the gang gain entrance to the museum. It all seems to be working until Bruce Willis (as himself) shows up and things begin to go awry. Then Isabel Lahiri (Catherine Zeta-Jones) reveals that she has been in contact with the real Julia Roberts who is running late for another appointment. Oops…

One day you answer the phone and the caller says she has been kidnapped. How do you handle it? Do you figure it is a prank and hang up despite the caller’s pleadings? Or do you play along figuring it is a buddy who needs to be taught a less? Ryan (Chris Evans), a college student, soon disccovers that he doesn’t know Jessica Martin (Kim Basinger), a biology teacher who is kidnapped by Ethan Greer (Jason Statham), it isn’t a prank and he’s up to his ears in danger while trying to figure out how to save her.

Some times money can’t get you anything or anyone you want. As much as you’re willing to spend, people still decide that you can’t buy them. Maybe you can rent for awhile though. Howard Hughes (Leonardo DiCaprio) is smitten by Ava Gardner (Kate Beckinsale) and tries to buy his way into her life. But hers is already a rich one. She is, however, willing to compromise by letting him buy her dinner.

What frightens you the most? For Hannibal King (Ryan Reynolds) it is being turned into a vampire a second time. Danica Talos (Parker Posey) offers to revamp a captive Hannibal but he demurs. Danica isn’t about to be denied. She suggest he could use more fish omega fatty acids in his diet. He is more concerned about the odd design she has chosen for her hair and his SBD garlic farts. That Hannibal is quite the card. She retorts that, despite his bodily gases, he is going to be turned, left alone for days and then she plans to let little Zoe (Haili Page), the eight-year-old daughter of his colleague, visit while the hunger is upon him.

There are moment in time when it seems as if everything stops, waiting for you to take a decision. The details coalesce in your mind and you know instinctively which is the proper way. They may defy logic and all vestige of common sense. But it is the right one at the right time. Sadly, you may not be the one in control of the circumstances and the choices are made for you. All you can do go along. Del Spooner’s (Will Smith) car is involved in a car accident with another car holding a twelve-year-old girl who wants to be a dentist and a truck which slams both vehicles into the river. A nearby robot comes to effect their rescue and it chooses Del (it calculates a 45 percent chance of his survival) over the girl (11 percent chance). Tragically, he dreams that the robot made the wrong choice.

There have been times when I’ve found myself sharing a table in a restaurant with people I barely know. The chatter about the table has been boisterous, raucous, intense and unnerving. But talk of bodily fluids has always remained in the context of humour. Emily French (Toni Collette) is so excited to get the movie part of Charlotte when Joe Devine (Alec Baldwin) and Steve Schats (Matthew Broderick) offer it to her that she grabs a glass off the table. She slips it under her skirt to fill it for a drug test, should they want her to take one, and plunks it back onto the table, spattering her dinner companions. Eeeuuuwww…

It is easy to get lost. All it takes is a wrong turn and you find yourself looking around and wondering what happened and how you got to this point. Just as Steven Goodson (Fred Savage). He took the advice of his friend Jack Manning (Steven Pasquale), went on a tear after dumping his cheating girlfriend Chloe (Andrea Bogart) and turned into a hound of the first stripe. Now he’s broke, fired from his job and sniffing around any girl that will give him the time of day. One night, he runs into Amelia (Erinn Bartlett), an old high school chum he was too shy to date, and finds himself ambivalent over whether he wants to see her again or seduce her on the spot. Maybe he has run out of steam.

A fart in an elevator is always an awkward moment. When Kenworth (James Faulkner) toots, Diaz (Keith Allen) moves a step or two to the left. There is really nothing one can say.

Elsewhere, there is no truth to the rumours floating around some blogs that Anthony Anderson who plays Derek is related to Terry Thomas, notwithstanding the gap in his front teeth.

Over the years, I’ve made (and lost) a number of friends. As I get older, I find it harder to make a new one. It seems easy to make an acquaintance but to have that relationship turn into a friendship is rare. So watching Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) get to know his Defense Against the Dark Arts professor Remus Lupin (David Thewlis) prompts a number of pleasant memories of friends past and present. Despite Lupin’s shortcomings and his unfortunate lack of manners when transformed, he’s still someone that Harry can count on for sage advice and useful information.

When testing someone’s fidelity, it seems to be worthwhile to realize the consequences of failure not just success. Alice Holbrook (Jennifer Love Hewitt) has cooked up a secret admirer for her husband Sam (Jimi Mistry) and he falls for it. Too bad, she isn’t the only admirer he has. When she discovers this she turns to his BFF as revenge and solace. Archie Gray (Dougray Scott) just happens to have the hots for her. Bad karma—this isn’t going to end well I suspect.

How far would you go to achieve your dream? Would you put your life in danger?

I remember when I felt turned inside out at the prospect of telling my parents something I thought to be so serious that I didn’t know how to approach them. While I dithered trying to figure out an approach, little did I know they would take it with grace and helped me to figure out a solution. My life didn’t come to an end. Wilhelmina (Michelle Krusiec) is in such a pickle. She has a sparkling new romance with Vivian Shing (Lynn Chen), a ballet dancer and her boss’s daughter. In a neighbourhood not known for its gay leanings, she know she has to tell Ma (Joan Chen). Unfortunately for Wil, her situation pales in comparison to Ma who has gone and gotten knocked up and Grandpa (Jin Wang) and Grandma (Guang Lan Koh) are none to pleased, having booted her out on the street.

Is it possible to believe someone who you think has betrayed you? Maybe, but you’ll need more proof. Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) believes that Pamela Landy (Joan Allen) ordered Marie’s (Franka Potente) death in Goa. He targets her with a rifle from a nearby roof, and calls her to ask why people are after him again. She isn’t aware that he is so close by and tells him that it is because he killed two people in Berlin. He tells her that she should be more careful and looks tired. Her shock is palpable.

Christmas is a time of tradition. What we did last year, we do this year. Or at least we do what we remember as being in the spirit of the season and not yucky (which is deep-sixed from memory). Try to stray from it and watch out. The noble season police pop out of woodwork and grind your guilt into a paste that absorbs any thought of changing family traditions. Just ask Luther Krank (Tim Allen) and his wife Nora (Jamie Lee Curtis) who decide to skip Christmas and go on a cruise since their daughter Blair (Julie Gonzalo) is heading off to Peru with the Peace Corps. Telling the neighbours proves to be a bit of a mistake. Vic Frohmeyer (Dan Aykroyd), the neighbourhood’s self-elected Christmas conscience is irate and starts up a group to harass the Kranks for their lack of holiday spirit, causing Luther and Nora to take refuge behind their curtains and sofa.

I’ve had bad days. You’ve had bad days. We’ve all had bad days. Some bad days are worse than others. We cope, we overcome, we endure. We get past the. We try to make the best of whatever circumstances in which we find ourselves. But few of us have the kind of day that Abe Klein (Andrew Lee Potts) is having. It starts when his girlfriend Mimi (Elena Anaya) tells him that she is pregnant, he isn’t ready for this and she is taking the train to visit her mum who’ll care for her. She borrows his phone to make a call but is assaulted by a snatch’n'grab causing Abe’s phone to be switched with that of a button man, Lynch (Gary Oldman). After a call and on a whim, Abe takes one of Lynch’s contracts. He finds himself with a safe full of cash, a baked-on-weed buddy holding the gun and a target who may have a better offer to make but then there is the client who’ll be cranky if the hit fails. Sadly, Lynch, who has fallen in lust with Mimi, has followed Abe home to retrieve his cell phone.

You’re too young. Mom and dad know best. Listen to your parents. You have no idea what you are doing. You’ll have to live with that if you keep it up. Parents are always to willing to offer advice. Even when you thought you didn’t need any. As I grew up, I found that sometimes they were right, sometimes not. Bit I also realized that they didn’t really know what they were talking about, it was just panic chatter. Most of it was guesswork. Some day, Caprice (Selma Blair), aka Ursula Udders, oft naked girl about town, will know that her parents Vaughn (Chris Isaak) and Sylvia Stickles (Tracey Ullman) had only her best interests at heart when they trap and handcuff poor Caprice in a family intervention. But for now, they just want to keep her from throwing her life away. So pharma is their only alternative despite the humping squirrels.

There comes a time in everyone’s life when you become the first in your lineage. Hellboy (Ron Perlman) learns of his pseudo-dad’s, Professor Broom (John Hurt), death and cradles him in his arms, watches from afar as his casket is carried through the rain and he is uncommunicative for three days until Liz Sherman (Selma Blair) steps up and tells him she is going after the bad guys with him. She’ll brook no argument. Touched, he realizes it is time to grow up, with adulthood yodelling down the canyons of life. He vows that he’ll never give up on her and that he’ll always look this good.

He self-tans. He eats vitamins like they’re Viagra. He dates girls that were born the same day as they invented the cell phone. He is married to Laurel Hedare (Sharon Stone). George Hedare (Lambert Wilson) is losing it as he has discovered that his new product mains and disfigures the women who stop using it. His chief scientist has been murdered and his wife has turned literally to stone after years of using these cosmetics. No wonder he is panicked.

After getting the cryptic letter codes from the Silence Dogood letters needed to locate the next clue in their scavenger hunt for the legendary Knights Templar treasure, Riley Poole (Justin Bartha) wonders aloud whether the copied results are correct.

Coolest escape ever? It could be when Alice (Milla Jovovich) is chased by Nemesis (Matthew Taylor) and she barrels through a window, slips into the offices and finds herself stranded in a blind hallway. Without hesitating, she bullets a hole in the wall, slides onto her back with guns blazing backwards over her head to slow down Nemesis, hurtles into an air shaft, slides down into a basement, tips over a dumpster just before an explosive round detonates in the shaft.

It is always surprising when people get upset when the tables are turned on them. What do they expect?

Matthew Kidman (Emile Hirsch) is mesmerized when he sees his new next door neighbour getting undressed. She know he is there but he tries to hide. Danielle (Elisha Cuthbert) drops by to introduce herself and get a local tour. While driving around, she manipulates him with a cocked eyebrow to disrobe so she can see him naked too. Reluctant to do so, a crooked smile and a cocked eyebrow soon have the teenage Matthew in the street, naked, running along with only an inner tube to shield the neighbours.

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.

Heart attack city. A handful of events converge. All impose a degree of stress. They intertwine, offset, distract, merge. How much can a body absorb before an effect is noticed. All it takes is one more before… At 51, Dan Foreman (Dennis Quaid) and his wife Ann (Marg Helgenberger) are having a baby, his new boss, for whom he is passed over, is 26 and his daughter Alex (Scarlett Johansson) is dating him.

Stacy (Brittany Murphy), a newly minted associate producer of a popular daytime syndicated talk show starring Kippie Kann (Kathy Bates), wonders why her boyfriend Derek (Ron Livingston) is having difficulty committing to their relationship. She decides to interview his past girlfriends under the guise of the TV show. She cracks the password on Derek’s Palm handheld for their addresses and find info she’d rather not have known about him and his past. Unbeknownst to Stacy, her erstwhile friend and boss Barb (Holly Hunter) has pitched Stacy’s search through Derek’s past as a live show. It isn’t until she finds herself in front of the cameras on stage that she realizes maybe Derek isn’t the guy for her and she isn’t the one for him. But, then again, trust is in rather short supply.

Trying to save a kid from a group of terrorists led by Michael Kittredge (Vinnie Jones), former Navy Seal Lamont Dixon (Eddie Griffin) tries to swipe a drilling rig’s helicopter. Kittredge has other plans and has the copter swatted by the rig’s crane. All we see is the stark terror on Dixon’s face as the copter is plunging over the side and headed for the water. I still get chills thinking about it.

Jealousy is such an insidious sin. It creeps in quietly and grabs hold, twists our brain and leaves us as a shameful shadow of the person we want to be and hope we are. Jill St. Claire (Amanda Peet) is its poster child. The moment her guy, Jimmy “The Tulip” Tudeski (Bruce Willis), learns his ex, Cynthia (Natasha Henstridge), has been kidnapped, he’s off to help find her yet Jill tried for two years to get him off his ass and go back into his chosen profession of contract killing. Then when she learns that Jimmy’s lucky crucifix was a gift from Cynthia, she goes ballistic, cutting him off completely from all consort and won’t even let him into their motel room, forcing Jimmy to share one with Oz Oseransky (Matthew Perry) and their kidnap-swappee Strabo Gogolak (Frank Collison).

You’re a handsome British knight. You’ve come back from the Crusades, sullen and despondent over the horrors you’ve witnessed. All you want to do is settle down. A local king offers you a plot of land in return for a small favour. His beautiful daughter, Luma (Piper Perabo) has recently disappeared and he’d like you to find her. Reluctantly, you agree. Unfortunately, you come across a dragon’s egg. Intent on destroying this potential monster, you lash out with your sword only to wake up with the princess hovering over you with a club ready to clobber you again. Turns out she wants to hatch it as the dragon may be the last of its kind. The simple rescue has become not so simple, some bad guys show up and want to kidnap the princess and you wonder how things got so out of control. Such is George’s (James Purefoy) story.

Events often produce changes in us that are so subtle we fail to notice that they’ve affected us until someone comes along to kick start the synapses. And it takes some random instance to make us remember who we are. Lupita aka “Pita” (Dakota Fanning) gets a new bodyguard Creasy (Denzel Washington), who is a former US intelligence agent now working as a mercenary, and she finds him sad and lonely. He finds her chatty and distracting. She casually brings back his humanity and he shows her another side of living in Mexico. When she’s kidnapped, Creasy realizes the impact she has had on him and vows to clear cut anybody who stands in his path and bring havoc to those who took her and anyone who aids them.
