Stone Cold

Candace Pennington (Alexis Dziena) has been raped. Her parents Margaret (Victoria Snow) and Chuck (Ralph Small) drag her down to the police chief, Jesse Stone (Tom Selleck), and demand to know what he is going to do about it. But Candace’s mother has washed her, redressed her and won’t take her to the hospital for fear of scandal. Mom swats her when she won’t talk about what happened but mom doesn’t want the story to get around. How do you think such a situation will get resolved? Yeah, I think so too.

V for Vendetta

In a police state full of repression, lack of civil liberties, how is one able to overcome, resist, stand fast? Evey Hammond (Natalie Portman), caught out after curfew, gets on the government’s radar after V’s (Hugo Weaving) actions against the powers that be. Her job in television is in jeopardy when V gets stopped escaping by Dascomb (Ben Miles) after his pirate broadcast by macing the government lad. It all starts with small incidents spread by rumour.

Confessions of a Sociopathic Social Climber

What would you do to climb the social ladder? Spread malicious gossip, do some discrete blackmail, sleep around? Sure, why not? The view from the top is better and the perks are glamourous. Katya Livingstone (Jennifer Love Hewitt) is working her way up the social ladder. One of the steps on that ladder is an invite to a gala but she’s still too many rungs down to get one. But she finds out where the hostess Dove Greenstein (Stefanie von Pfetten) is getting a salon massage and wax. Subbing for a masseuse doing the waxing, Katya captures on film the hirsute hostess with the intention of swapping the polaroid for an invitation.

Breakfast on Pluto

How often do we succeed in avoiding death, not even knowing it may be upon us. It has happened to me a couple of times, mostly in cars. For Patrick “Kitten” Braden (Cillian Murphy) wanders into a walk occupied by two working girls, one of whom takes great offense that he’s competition and trespassing on her stroll. Kitten, instead of one of the girls, is picked up by a customer and in a lay-by is offered a silk rope token. Her thinks the driver is just being friendly, the customer wants a blow job. WIth the aid of a perfume atomizer, Kitten is able to flee the car and continue on in his mum search, not realizing that the driver (Bryan Ferry) was probably a serial killer.

Keeping Mum

We all have our own way of seeing things. One person’s distraction is another’s obsession. It doesn’t take much to push our opinions from disinterest to keen focus. Such is the case for Grace (Maggie Smith) after casually answering her employer’s phone. It’s Lance (Patrick Swayze) calling to offer suggestions on what he is planning for Gloria Goodfellow (Kristin Scott Thomas) once she leaves her husband. It involves coconut cream, tongues and other body parts. Grace thinks it is lovely but Lance should know that she was once incarcerated in an asylum for the criminally insane for murder.
