Enough

How much of yourself are you willing to sacrifice to protect those you love and yourself? To the public, Slim Hiller (Jennifer Lopez) had a perfect life but privately she was at the behest of her domineering husband Mitch (Billy Campbell) who kept her terrified by threats and swats. After fleeing their house with her daughter and moving from place to place, she decides to make a stand. Little does her pompous husband know how much her hate can evolve into defending herself and daughter. His arrogance is in for the kicking of its petty little life.

Enchanted

The day-to-day drudgery of maintaining a home, the meeting and avoiding street people from musicians to street vendors and the startling impact of meeting someone who may be ‘the one’ are situations that always call for a method to handle them with grace and aplomb. My approach has always been to take the centre and try to avoid the pain of crushes (for that is what they usually are), the harangue of solicitation and the ennui of cleaning. But I hadn’t thought that breaking into song might solve the annoyance of having to be involved in these events. Princess Giselle (Amy Adams) makes it seems so worthwhile. I think I’ll give it a try.

Enigma

I’ve never been to war. I don’t respond well to authority. I don’t play well with others. But I recognize and understand the need for unity, discipline and respect for a command structure for a group to meet their goals. But it is hard to understand the need to sacrifice others for what is perceived as the greater good. Tom Jericho (Dougray Scott ) lays out the possibility of cracking new Nazi signal codes but the expense is the destruction of a convoy of some 140 merchant vessels and their crews. How big a human sacrifice is acceptable? Apparently it is hundreds if not thousands, if you don’t know their names or their families.

Eastern Promises

There have been some actions I’ve taken that I have come to regret. The consequences of what resulted have come to cause me embarrassment, sadness, joy… But none of them have caused any physical harm to innocent people I didn’t know. Anna (Naomi Watts) comes by a Russian restaurant in London looking for the relatives of a mother who died in childbirth. She asks Semyon (Armin Mueller-Stahl) if he know her or her family. She mentions a diary and the world as she knows it changes. The Russians have brought their society to London and Anna, brought up in a London suburb as a second generation Russian emigrée, doesn’t realize the rules and customs they live by will apply to her.

The Ex

How do you know that your boss is trying to steal your wife away from you? Sometimes it is in the subtle events you notice. Sometimes it isn’t so subtle. While wheelchair-bound Chip Saunders (Jason Bateman) is admiring a picture of Sofia Kowalski (Amanda Peet) and Tom Reilly (Zach Braff) on Tom’s desk, he licks his thumb and runs it over her face. Tom knows he’s in trouble and it going to take some clandestine moves to show her and her family what Chip is up to. Sadly, Tom is having some difficulty understanding the concept of clandestine.
