Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker

You’re blissfully minding your own business, putting the finishing touches and waiting for the shellac to set on your stuffed blowfish, when there is a knock at the door. If you are Jack Starbright (Alicia Silverstone), you are gracious in answering but puzzled by the strange German woman who is asking all sorts of questions about the family in your care. When she refuses to answer, Nadia Vole (Missi Pyle) pulls a gun, cocks an eyebrow and half-winks. Combat starts as a half-marital arts skill fest since Jack knows none and Nadia has all of the moves. Hopping, skipping and jumping about the home, tossing dishes at one another until the regrettable blowfish incident.

Basic Instinct 2

I’ve met a couple of people who think they are the centre of the universe and the rest of us are just keeping it clean. It only takes a moment to realize that they are self-absorbed with too little sense of how others interact in the surrounding world. But Catherine Tramell (Sharon Stone) may be the centre of her own solar system, at the very least. Dr. Michael Glass (David Morrissey) has followed her to a seedy part of London, watches her pick up a rough rent-boy, sees her manhandled into a building and follows. He ends up on the roof, looking through a sky light. Below he sees Catherine engaged in carnal relations while she is relaxing to the bouncing rhythm of her enthusiastic partner and meeting the doctor’s gaze through the window.

You, Me and Dupree

Everybody has a friend who never quite got the hang of being an adult. It seems they got stuck somewhere in high school and can’t quite find the rhythm of being a grown-up. Randy Dupree (Owen Wilson) is just such a lad. He’s kind, gracious and fumbling. He has trouble distinguishing what’s privacy and what isn’t. He seems to find all of the push buttons to seem like a wounded bunny when hurt yet able to alienate his buddies by his obliviousness to the mores of relationships. Filling the crapper with noxious emissions isn’t going to help.

16 Blocks

Some days it just doesn’t pay to get out of bed. All you want to do is your job, check out and go home. But sometimes you find yourself in a time and place that allows you to become more than you’ve become. Jack Mosley (Bruce Willis) is in the wrong place at the wrong time. Eddie Bunker (Mos Def) is a witness against some bad cops and his courthouse driver gets caught in traffic. Frank Nugent (David Morse) comes by the bar where they are recuperating after one attempt on Eddie’s life and starts in on persuading Frank to give up the witness. About to kill Eddie, Frank kneecaps the shooter and thereby declares which side he’s on.

Last Holiday

The attention paid to someone else is always an allure to those who are being paid less. Georgia Byrd (Queen Latifah) orders all of the menu specials prompting Chef Didier (Gérard Depardieu) to drop by her table to chat about cooking and ingredients. This makes the boss Matthew Kragen (Timothy Hutton) envious as he wants to impress his guests and associates—Senator Dillings (Giancarlo Esposito), Congressman Stewart (Michael Nouri)—with his capacity to demand respect and feels slighted when the chef doesn’t scamper like a puppy to his side to have his belly rubbed.
