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).

Hellboy

There comes a time in everyone’s life when you become the first in your lineage. Hellboy (Ron Perlman) learns of his pseudo-dad’s, Professor Broom (John Hurt), death and cradles him in his arms, watches from afar as his casket is carried through the rain and he is uncommunicative for three days until Liz Sherman (Selma Blair) steps up and tells him she is going after the bad guys with him. She’ll brook no argument. Touched, he realizes it is time to grow up, with adulthood yodelling down the canyons of life. He vows that he’ll never give up on her and that he’ll always look this good.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Often it is the simplest thing that let’s you know that things are developing as they should. When Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) takes up the mantle as leader of Dumbledore’s Army to practice their defensive magic in preparation for battle with Lord Voldemort, it is Neville Longbottom (Matthew Lewis) who shows it can be done by succeeding where he failed in past attempts and who shows what motivates them when seeing the picture of his parents.
