Sleepless in Seattle

How is your intuition? Mine is amazing. For some things it works like a charm. For other stuff, it is a dud. Jonah Baldwin (Ross Malinger) calls into a late night talk radio show looking for a new mother. His widowed father Sam (Tom Hanks) ends up on the phone laying bare his feeling for his wife. As a result the mail pours in and Jonah pulls out a letter from Annie (Meg Ryan) in Baltimore and refuses to give up until Sam agrees to meet her.

Stone Cold

Candace Pennington (Alexis Dziena) has been raped. Her parents Margaret (Victoria Snow) and Chuck (Ralph Small) drag her down to the police chief, Jesse Stone (Tom Selleck), and demand to know what he is going to do about it. But Candace’s mother has washed her, redressed her and won’t take her to the hospital for fear of scandal. Mom swats her when she won’t talk about what happened but mom doesn’t want the story to get around. How do you think such a situation will get resolved? Yeah, I think so too.

Sweet Home Alabama

When you decide to go home for a visit after being away for seven years, it is probably a good idea not to drop by your local bar and get completely shit-faced. Particularly if you didn’t leave under the best of circumstances. Melanie Carmichael (Reese Witherspoon) is now a successful New York fashion designer but she needs to get her high school husband to sign the divorce papers he’s been reluctant to do. A boatload of shots loosens her tongue to the extent that she outs Bobby Ray (Ethan Embry), her old high school chum, and moves on to confirm the rumour that she married Jake Perry (Josh Lucas) because he got her pregnant under the bleachers. Topping off her evening out, she pukes regally all over the front seat of Jake’s truck as he tries to take her home. Ahhh… those high school memories.

Spider-Man 3

You work hard to get to the point in your career where you think you have finally made it. Work is going well, you feel you have begun to accomplish all you set out to do. Mary Jane Parker (Kirsten Dunst) is in just such a position. She’s featured in a musical and hopes it will be the springboard for her life as a singer. She knows it went well and Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) finally came to watch one of her shows. Life is good. Then the devastating reviews come in and she’s replaced with nary a word form the producers. And Peter doesn’t fulfill his boyfriend-end of the bargain.

Shaun of the Dead

This is my kind of movie. But it isn’t the kind of movie that one should consume snacks while watching, particularly liquids. You’d be surprised how far you can snort a mouthful of tea. Shaun (Simon Pegg) and his buddy Ed (Nick Frost) stumble drunkenly out of their local singing along to some incomprehensible (to me but not them) tune when they see a figure down the block braying. They turn to one another and decide this is just the counterpoint they need for their song and the stranger want to sing along.
