Pulse

Conspiracies are almost the staff of life on the internet. They’re pervasive. We see them on many sites where someone thinks that one or more someone elses have done something, are covering up some event or are out to do something nefarious. Who is doing what to whom and why? Geez, no wonder there is so much paranoia and skepticism around. Now comes a new threat. Mattie Webber (Kristin Bell) gets a bunch of messages from her dead boyfriend, Josh Ockmann (Jonathan Tucker), via electronic means. It seems that the dead want to return to our world via the internet. They’re pissed and they’re not taking any prisoners. Lots of the usual horror tropes with some pretty good effects.

Ultraviolet

What does it take to prove you’re human? Violet Song jat Shariff (Milla Jovovich), a courier, discovers it takes a battery of tests. She’s ushered into a sterile room where they immobilize her, stick probes into her bloodstream and eyes, her mouth and teeth to verify breathing after which she is scanned again for bone, blood and tissue irregularities just so she can pick up a package for delivery and it turns out she is a fraud anyway. Oh dear…

The Devil Wears Prada

Who says fashion doesn’t influence our day-to-day life? Not Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) who lectures her 2nd-assistant Andrea Sachs (Anne Hathaway) on how she came to wear her blue sweater. Starting with an Oscar de la Renta show in 2002 who did a cerulean blue collection, through Yves Saint-Laurent and 8 other designers, into selected department stores and on down to the bargain bins, the blue in her sweater has been passed from one to another until it ended up on her back.

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).
