Inside Man

Sometimes a villain is just a villain. Sometimes they’re a charmer and you wish they weren’t a villain. Sometimes they’re doing a villainous deed for what’s thought to be the right reason. Dalton Russell (Clive Owen) is all of theses and NYPD Detective Keith Frazier (Denzel Washington) can’t decide whether he wants his tactical unit to end the bank standoff. Each clue sways him further away from his jurisprudent choices. When it comes right down to it, which is better—justice or the law?

The Holiday

Most everyone over 18 has gotten drunk at least once and likely done things that they can’t remember the next morning. It is with a degree of chagrin that I must admit it has happened to me more than once. So when Amanda (Cameron Diaz) surfaces one morning after getting blotto, she is somewhat anxious to discover what she may have done, particularly when she finds her underwear strewn about the kitchen. Graham (Jude Law), her host’s brother is partway through some coffee when she shyly asks what happened and what did she do (with a tiny sliver of hope that it wasn’t what is swirling through her thoughts).

Material Girls

If you’re fortunate, you’ll have someone in your life who accepts you as you are with all of your faults, doesn’t pass judgement on what you do and treats you as you deserve. If you are truly lucky that person isn’t even a family member. For Tanzie (Hilary Duff) and Ava Marchetta (Haylie Duff) that person is their housekeeper Inez (Maria Conchita Alonso) who takes them the sisters after the scandal of their family cosmetics company being accused of selling toxic products. She just wraps them in her arms and ushers them into her apartment as if they’d never been away.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest

Davy Jones (Bill Nighy) is the captain of the Flying Dutchman, a legendary ghost ship which haunts the seas in search of cursed souls to serve upon his vessel for a century. He was unable to bear the pain of losing his one true love so he carved out his heart and stored it in the Dead Man’s Chest. As time passes, he has evolved into a creature that is part octopus, part crab and part man. The first time you see him and his wiggly tentacles, you’ll think that Cthulhu spent a sweaty weekend away with one of his female acolytes.

Hard Luck

Sometimes a concept just beggars the imagination. Cybill Shepherd as a serial killer is one of them. She and her accomplice make a gallant effort to come across as killers but it’s hard to keep a straight face particularly when she is wearing bunny ears.
