What Just Happened

Ben (Robert De Niro) is a renowned Hollywood producer struggling to get his upcoming film, 'Fiercely' past studio execs and onto the big screen. During a test screening audiences were extremely troubled by the picture's closing scene, one in which the lead antagonist (Sean Penn, as himself) and his dog are shot – a supposed carnal sin amongst filmmakers that usually results in a work's critical and commercial failure. Ben and his cunning British director, Jeremy Brunell (Michael Wincott) thinks otherwise however, and pray that the movie's final cut can evade the studio's potentially unmerciful editing. In the meantime Ben is just a week away from filming his latest project, featuring action superstar Bruce Willis. Much to Ben and the studio's chagrin, Willis has developed an affinity for facial hair, and insists upon sporting his unkempt beard on celluloid. The picture's financial backer insists that he shave, or else the project will be canceled. After the leading man sacked his agent, Dick Bell (John Turturro) for advising him to comply, Ben walks on eggshells while attempting to change Willis' mind, but he only has a short time to do so. Juggling the aforementioned conflicts is trouble enough, but Ben faces further devastation upon discovering that his ex-wife, Kelly (Robin Wright) has shacked up with screenwriter Scott Solomon (Stanley Tucci). Coincidentally, Ben is currently producing a film based upon Scott's screenplay. In parallel he struggles with a daughter from yet another marriage, Zoe (Kristen Stewart) whose personal problems could be copied verbatim from an episode of Beverly Hills 90210. Amidst all of this What Just Happened pokes fun at life and business in Tinseltown, simultaneously critiquing its money hungry culture, which oftentimes stymies artists' creative output and fosters an environment ripe with dysfunction. Rating: Rated R for explicit language, some violence, sexual content, and drug use.

Beverly Hills seductress and career divorcee Marylin Rexroth is a greedy, yet sly gold digger with a highly successful track record. While Miles Massey is a divorce attorney whose renowned prenuptial agreements are airtight. Massey’s exemplary marriage contracts have never been disputed in court; in fact, they are considered nearly perfect, and used as study material at Harvard Law School. Although Massey has experienced unprecedented success throughout his career he refuses to fall victim to his own complacency. After countless legal victories, travels to various parts of the world, and fulfilling his material desires Massey longs for reinvigoration; he needs a new challenge, something that will reinforce his self-worth. The challenge he seeks arrives in the form of a new client: Rex Rexroth. Rex is (unfortunately for him) the husband of Marylin Rexroth, who looks to divorce Rex after her private investigator, Gus Petch breaks into a hotel room and discovers her husband committing lewd acts with an unknown blonde. Luckily for Marylin, Gus captured the entire incident on videotape, and she believes her visual evidence will guarantee a settlement in her favour. Soon after the expose Mr. Rexroth seeks the counsel of Massey, who enthusiastically accepts the case and guarantees Rex a victory – no small feat considering that video evidence exists of his client’s affair. Yet this is precisely the challenge Massey has been seeking, and defeating Marylin will help him escape the shadows of middle-aged gloom. First, Massey meets with Freddy Bender, Mrs. Rexroth’s lawyer in an attempt to reach a settlement. Naturally, Marylin is convinced that she will usurp her husband in court once the video is presented, and feels no need to compromise. Massey, who is fascinated by Marylin accompanies her to dinner one evening, gathering as much information as possible. Meanwhile, Gus – formally contracted by Mrs. Rexroth, is now working for Massey, secretly photographing pages from her private diary. When the couple’s court date finally arrives Massey is prepared for victory. Cutting quickly to the chase, Massey calls Heinz, the Baron Krauss von Espy to the stand. Heinz reveals to the court that several years prior to the Roxroths’ marriage, Marylin sought his assistance in finding, “a husband who could be easily manipulated.” With this shocking revelation the case promptly ends in Rex’s favour, and Massey has triumphed once again. Yet the battle has not ended, unbeknownst to Massey. Marylin reappears soon after her defeat and seeks his assistance in drafting a new prenuptial agreement, this time with oil-rich husband Howard D. Doyle. Predictably, the marriage ends in a quick annulment; unpredictably, Massey becomes her new marital target and the undefeated attorney may soon take on a most unwelcome challenge. The film’s soundtrack features classics from Simon and Garfunkel, Elvis Presley, Tom Jones, and many more. This movie is rated PG-13 for sexual content, language and brief violence.

A Cinderella Story

Sam Montgomery (Hilary Duff) lived the perfect Californian life. Her father, Hal (Whip Hubley) owned and operated a popular sports restaurant and loved his daughter dearly. Suddenly, however, Hal married Fiona (Jennifer Coolidge of American Pie notoriety), a superficial, cold-hearted woman with two children from a former marriage: Brianna (Madeline Zima) and Gabriella (Andrea Avery). Rather than embrace their new stepsister, Fiona's children became Sam's toughest adversaries. At school Brianna and Gabriella joined other students who mocked their stepsister, attempting to win the cool kids' admiration. Hal loved his daughter unconditionally however, even if Fiona was indifferent, and Sam managed to find solace in her father's presence. That ended abruptly though when Hal perished during an earthquake. Shortly after her husband's death Fiona remodeled the restaurant, replacing its sports motif with buckets of pink paint, essentially transforming it into a tacky teen hangout akin to 90210's Peach Pit. While profits from the diner allowed Fiona, Brianna, and Gabriella to live comfortably, it was at the sole expense of Sam, who labored both day and night as a waitress at the establishment. Due to Sam's non-stop work schedule at the restaurant, schoolmates nicknamed her 'Diner Girl.' Life outside of the diner was equally displeasuring. At home Sam reluctantly completed her stepsisters' homework and household chores – often at Fiona's insistence. To escape, she visited the local library and browsed the Internet, eventually meeting a local boy in a chat room. 'Nomad' refused to reveal his true identity, but described himself as an introspective guy pressured by his father and peers to personify the typical jock. And he did. Both teens were living in a world constructed by others, rather than themselves. Nomad and Sam eventually agree to meet at an upcoming school dance, in the middle of the gymnasium at 11 o'clock. The later wears a disguise; the former goes as is. To both Sam's delight and horror the mystery man is Austin Ames (Chad Michael Murray), the school's star quarterback and renowned ladies man. But before Austin can discover Sam's true identity she flees, convinced that the football champ will reject her. Can true love overpower peer pressure? A Cinderella Story earned more than $70 million at the box office, effortlessly recuperating its budget of $19 million. The picture earned two Teen Choice Awards in addition to eight other nominations. Its soundtrack, featuring tracks by Duff, the Goo Goo Dolls, and Mya reached number nine on the Billboard Top 200 chart. Rating: Rated PG for mildly explicit language and innuendo.

Charlie Wilson's War When the world wasn't watching, they changed it forever. A drama based on a Texas congressman Charlie Wilson's covert dealings in Afghanistan, where his efforts to assist rebels in their war with the Soviets have some unforeseen and long-reaching effects. The first time the audience sees Texas congressman Charlie Wilson in the early 1980s, he seems far from a model politician. Surrounded by strippers, a Playboy Playmate, and cocaine, the naked congressman lies in a hot tub at a party. Despite the distractions, the TV news catches Charlie's attention as Dan Rather reports from a war-torn Afghanistan. As Soviets invade the country, the Afghans lack the money and technology to defend themselves. Enter Joanne Herring, a wealthy Texan who champions the cause of Afghanistan and, by extension in the Cold War, America. Together with CIA Agent Gust Avrakotos, Charlie begins a secret war where he must unite Israel, Pakistan, Egypt, and America to defeat the Soviets. Prodded by his major conservative supporter, Herring, Wilson learns about the plight the people are suffering in the brutal Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. With the help of Avrakotos, Wilson dedicates his canny political efforts to supply the Afghan mujahideen with the weapons and support to defeat the Soviet Union. However, Charlie Wilson eventually learns that while military victory can be had, there are other consequences and prices to that fight that are ignored to everyone's sorrow. This movie is rated R for strong language, nudity/sexual content and some drug use.

Book Of love “Book of Love” is the story Elaine and David Walker a thirty-something married couple whose relationship, romantically speaking, has come to a halt. Both individuals have realized that, for better or for worse, they are destined to spend the rest of their lives together – no matter how dreadfully boring. The couple is still in love, but there is something missing in their lives: a child! That’s when a lanky, awkward looking teenage boy enters the picture. Chet Becker is a nerdy kid working at a local ice cream parlor. Elaine and David stop by the parlor for some dessert and debate their youthful, or not so youthful, appearances. Eventually the couple asks Chet to guess their true ages, and oddly enough a relationship begins to develop from there. From this point forward the fifteen year old becomes the Walkers’ unofficial surrogate child. Yet astute viewers will observe Elaine’s interactions with Chet during their initial meeting. Far from motherly, she was clearly giving Chet a look over and subconscious seal of approval. As the young man spends more time at the couple’s house Elaine makes her feeling more apparent, and Chet has no problem responding to them. In fact, he has no problem making love to a woman twice his age – and neither does Elaine for that matter. David on the other hand may not be so understanding. In a fit of guilt Elaine eventually reveals her affair to her husband, begging him to forgive her. What happens between David and Elaine? How does Chet, a loner whose only friends are the Walkers proceed? “Book of Love” is unique in that the answer to these questions may not be predictable as one might imagine. In fact, the results of Elaine’s revelation are occasionally downright unrealistic and strange, making for a great story. “Book of Love” was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at 2004’s Sundance Film Festival.

Stormbreaker

Darrius Sayle (Mickey Rourke) has been working furiously to complete Stormbreaker, the most powerful computer in the world. As a supposed act of good will, Sayle intends to distribute the machine to every British school, and the public is eagerly awaiting his donation. A prominent banker named Ian Rider (Ewan McGregor) doubts Sayle's intentions however, and is commissioned by British intelligence to investigate the Stormbreaker project. Yet just before Rider exposes the villainous scheme he is assassinated by Yassen Gregorovich (Damian Lewis), one of Sayle's senior henchmen. For years Rider acted as his nephew, Alex's (Alex Pettyfer) adoptive father. While Uncle Ian was frequently absent from home, presumably on business trips, Alex never suspected that he was a secret agent. Alex also failed to realize that Ian was grooming the young boy to be his successor at MI6, and that years of martial arts and foreign language instruction were not for mere academic exercise. Following his uncle's death the MI6 summonsed Alex to their headquarters, revealing Ian's true identity and subsequently the teenager's duty to complete infiltration of Sayle's operations. He refuses at first, though eventually accepts after the agency threatens to deport Jack Starbright (Alicia Silverstone), Alex's sole remaining caretaker on immigration charges. Soon Alex departs to Whales for Special Air Services training, where he shocks his older and more experienced peers. Once training finishes, the miniature 007 goes undercover at Sayle's organization and discovers the secret that led to his uncle's death. With the clock ticking Alex must prevent Darrius from distributing Stormbreaker, before it wrecks havoc upon the country's youth and eventually the entire world. Stormbreaker is based upon the identically titled, best selling teen novel by author Anthony Horowitz. Its soundtrack features performances by the Gorillaz and Paul Oakenfold.

Stormbreaker

Darrius Sayle (Mickey Rourke) has been working furiously to complete Stormbreaker, the most powerful computer in the world. As a supposed act of good will, Sayle intends to distribute the machine to every British school, and the public is eagerly awaiting his donation. A prominent banker named Ian Rider (Ewan McGregor) doubts Sayle's intentions however, and is commissioned by British intelligence to investigate the Stormbreaker project. Yet just before Rider exposes the villainous scheme he is assassinated by Yassen Gregorovich (Damian Lewis), one of Sayle's senior henchmen. For years Rider acted as his nephew, Alex's (Alex Pettyfer) adoptive father. While Uncle Ian was frequently absent from home, presumably on business trips, Alex never suspected that he was a secret agent. Alex also failed to realize that Ian was grooming the young boy to be his successor at MI6, and that years of martial arts and foreign language instruction were not for mere academic exercise. Following his uncle's death the MI6 summonsed Alex to their headquarters, revealing Ian's true identity and subsequently the teenager's duty to complete infiltration of Sayle's operations. He refuses at first, though eventually accepts after the agency threatens to deport Jack Starbright (Alicia Silverstone), Alex's sole remaining caretaker on immigration charges. Soon Alex departs to Whales for Special Air Services training, where he shocks his older and more experienced peers. Once training finishes, the miniature 007 goes undercover at Sayle's organization and discovers the secret that led to his uncle's death. With the clock ticking Alex must prevent Darrius from distributing Stormbreaker, before it wrecks havoc upon the country's youth and eventually the entire world. Stormbreaker is based upon the identically titled, best selling teen novel by author Anthony Horowitz. Its soundtrack features performances by the Gorillaz and Paul Oakenfold. Rating: Rated PG for sequences of action violence and some peril

You, Me And Dupree

Carl Peterson and Randy Dupree have been friends forever. But everything changes when Carl marries Molly Thompson and best man Dupree becomes the third wheel. Free-spirited Dupree's antics suddenly seem juvenile and Carl has to decide where his loyalty lies--with his new wife or his best friend. Still, when Carl discovers that Dupree is down on his luck--he's lost his job, his company car, and his apartment--he invites his best buddy to move in until he's back on his feet. Unfortunately, Dupree isn't exactly Molly's idea of the perfect houseguest. This perpetual bachelor is really an overgrown kid who moves in with a giant moosehead, likes to sleep in the buff, has some unpleasant hygiene issues, and treats life like one big party. Despite Dupree's inability to grow up, he has a good heart: he's just trying to find his niche and enjoy every day along the way. To make matters worse for Molly, Carl has become a cranky workaholic since his boss, Molly's father, promoted him. Disheartened by her new husband's late hours, Molly begins to spend more time with Dupree and to see his softer side--something that even Carl has never been aware of. Carl, meanwhile, begins to resent his lackadaisical friend and to question his motives. Ultimately, it's up to Dupree to get Carl and Molly back on track. This movie is rated PG-13 for sexual content, brief nudity, crude humor, language and a drug reference.

This changes however when a beautiful new cashier is transferred from another store location. Amy Renfro is a blonde bombshell who is rumored to only date employees of the month.

Atonement Fledgling writer Briony Tallis, as a 13-year-old, irrevocably changes the course of several lives when she accuses her older sister's lover of a crime he did not commit. On a sultry summer day in 1935, an upper-class British family prepares for a dinner party at their country estate. The players: Briony Tallis, a precocious preteen writer; her older sister, Cecilia, Cambridge graduate and femme fatale; Robbie Turner, the housekeeper's mensch-y son, who carries a torch for Cecilia; and various visitors and family members. A series of misperceptions, fuelled by the summer heat and Briony's childish hurts and fevered imagination, lead to a dramatic false accusation that lands Robbie in jail. We meet all three characters five years later in the thick of World War II, as foot soldier Robbie prepares for the Dunkirk evacuation and the two estranged sisters train as nurses in London. Director Joe Wright deserves high praise for translating Ian McEwan's highly internalized, multilayered tale of guilt, redemption, and the power and limits of the artistic imagination, into a sumptuous visual feast that not only conveys the intricate plot points of the novel, but dives head-first into the emotional subtleties that make the story so wrenching. Whether any of the characters' actions are ultimately atoned for by the end of the film is a matter of perception, but Wright's sympathetic eye ensures that every player gets a fair trial. This movie is rated R for disturbing war images, language and some sexuality.

Employee of the Month(2006) Zack Bradley is a 30-something stock boy who has spent the last ten years of his life working at a Sam’s Club-like buy-in-bulk retail store. Unlike his co-workers, Zack is not particularly concerned with furthering his career, in retail or anywhere else. He is content with his life as a slacker, living with his grandmother and performing the least amount of work possible – if any at all. This changes however when a beautiful new cashier is transferred from another store location. Amy Renfro is a blonde bombshell who is rumored to only date employees of the month. In this case that employee is not Zack, but obnoxious pretty boy coworker Vince, the employee of the month for 17 consecutive months. Despite his knowledge of Amy’s strange preference for men, Zack strives to impress and woo the new cashier. Unfortunately his attempts are unsuccessful and he is forced to do what he hates the most: perform actual work. The slacker begins competing not only against Vince, but also friends and coworkers Lon, Iqbal and Russell for the coveted award, and hopefully Amy’s heart. Zack’s plans hit a snag though when his laziness costs good friend Iqbal his job. Additionally, Lon and Russell notice their pal transforming into a ruthless, cutthroat and obnoxious employee similar to his nemesis, Vince. Could Zack lose not only his friends, but also his job and Amy? Or will he forfeit his close friends in exchange for one woman? Will Vince become employee of the month once again and seal his relationship with the beautiful blonde? With a budget of only $12 million “Employee of the Month” ended its run at the box office earning a more than adequate $38 million worldwide. The picture is rated PG-13 for crude and sexual humor and profanity.

Atonement Fledgling writer Briony Tallis, as a 13-year-old, irrevocably changes the course of several lives when she accuses her older sister's lover of a crime he did not commit. On a sultry summer day in 1935, an upper-class British family prepares for a dinner party at their country estate. The players: Briony Tallis, a precocious preteen writer; her older sister, Cecilia, Cambridge graduate and femme fatale; Robbie Turner, the housekeeper's mensch-y son, who carries a torch for Cecilia; and various visitors and family members. A series of misperceptions, fuelled by the summer heat and Briony's childish hurts and fevered imagination, lead to a dramatic false accusation that lands Robbie in jail. We meet all three characters five years later in the thick of World War II, as foot soldier Robbie prepares for the Dunkirk evacuation and the two estranged sisters train as nurses in London. Director Joe Wright deserves high praise for translating Ian McEwan's highly internalized, multilayered tale of guilt, redemption, and the power and limits of the artistic imagination, into a sumptuous visual feast that not only conveys the intricate plot points of the novel, but dives head-first into the emotional subtleties that make the story so wrenching. Whether any of the characters' actions are ultimately atoned for by the end of the film is a matter of perception, but Wright's sympathetic eye ensures that every player gets a fair trial. This movie is rated R for disturbing war images, language and some sexuality.

Scorched Rick Becker (Joshua Leonard) is the lackadaisical manager of a small town California bank, leeching off of his co-worker and girlfriend, Sheila (Alicia Silverstone). Throughout his studies Shelia helped pay for Rick's education, only to be dumped immediately after graduation. Fortunately, at least for Shelia, her ex is on shaky ground with the bank's owners; after thieves heisted thousands from the branch's ATM on numerous occasions, Rick was ordered to increase security or else face being sacked. With Rick's predicament in mind Shelia is planning to rob the bank, earning her both a generous monetary reward and the satisfaction of revenge. Coincidentally, she is not the only person scheming to loot the bank that night. Unbeknownst to Shelia two other tellers: Stu (Paulo Costanzo) and Jason (Woody Harrelson) have concocted their own harebrained plans. The former is in dire need of excitement, and intends to swipe a meager $250,000 from the bank's vault. If successful, Stu will head straight to Las Vegas and wager the full amount on one game of roulette. Jason's motives are, at least in comparison, more virtuous. A lover of Mother Nature, Jason's closest companion is a pet duck, whose mother was ruthlessly gunned down by local millionaire Charles Merchant (John Cleese). Harrelson's character also feels unappreciated by the bank, receiving a meager fifty-cent raise after years of faithful service. His sights are set on pillaging Merchant's safety deposit box, avenging both the millionaire and an ungrateful employer. Finally, and perhaps most childishly, viewers meet Shmally (Rachael Leigh Cook), a clothing store owner hell-bent on attacking Merchant with an onslaught of eggs. Her reluctant accomplice throughout the mission is Carter Doleman (Marcus Thomas), another outlandish teller at the undeniably kooky bank. When this motley crew of aspiring burglars inevitably collides hysteria is bound to ensue.

The home environment is always challenging for a recovering addict, no less so when the visit if only for a few days.

Both women also have to deal with their selfish mother who is clearly more concerned with her own well-being ahead of that of her children. The wedding couple's abundant party of friends and relations have gathered for a joyful weekend of feasting, music and love, but Kym - with her biting one-liners and flair for bombshell drama - is a catalyst for long-simmering tensions in the family dynamic.

I Me Wed

For the past five years Isabelle Darden (Erica Durance) has witnessed nearly all of her friends get married. Her mom, Lillian (Janet-Laine Green) and best friend Amy (Cara Pifko) relentlessly pressure Isabelle to find a good man – even if it is merely a boyfriend. While the thirty-year old does date frequently, she rarely meets the same man twice, continuously changing boyfriends like pairs of socks. Yet one can somewhat understand her position. Isabelle makes a respectable living buying old homes, restoring them, and then selling them for much more than she initially paid. She has a nice apartment, car, and wardrobe; intimacy can be obtained as well, via an occasional one-night stand or two. While Amy and Isabelle's other girlfriends are marrying for money or stability, she has already obtained both. Why bother? After being nagged for years, forced into horrible blind dates, and listening to one lecture after another about the merits of marriage, Isabelle finally accepts her fate. She has not exactly changed her opinion however. When wedding invitations reach family and friends they are astonished to discover that the groom is – Isabelle! Indeed, she intends to marry herself, perhaps ending a half-decade of nonstop harassment from both Lillian and Amy; more importantly though, Isabelle will prove to the world that neither marriage nor a man are prerequisites for lifelong happiness. Or at least she thinks. When a local newspaper covers her story it quickly goes viral, spreading from one media outlet to another. Traditionalists like Lillian are repulsed by the idea, but feminists are fascinated: Isabelle has inadvertently cultivated a twenty-first century sexual revolution. The event is soon spiraling out of control however, and what was once intended to be a small ceremony has transformed into a multimillion dollar media extravaganza, courtesy of a television talk show host who fronts the bill. As this occurs Isabelle meets Colin (Paul Popowich), a modest Harvard graduate who enjoys working construction alongside his father, Roy (Vlasta Vrana). Inevitably the unimaginable begins to occur, and Isabelle falls in love with Colin. In parallel Isabelle begins to realize that her attitude toward marriage was wrong, yet stubbornly continues with the ceremony, possibly forfeiting both her integrity and soul-mate in the process.

Surf's Up

A behind-the-scenes look at the annual Penguin World Surfing Championship, and its newest participant, up-and-comer Cody Maverick. This animated mock documentary follows penguin Cody Maverick from his hometown of Shiverpool, Antarctica, where all of the other penguins think he's a surfing fool, to the "Big Z Memorial Surf Off" on Pen Gu Island. This teenage penguin is determined to win the most important competition in the world of penguin surfing in honor of "Big Z," a deceased surfing legend whom he has idolized since childhood. But the waves in Pen Gu are different than in Shiverpool, and the competition is steep. The current champ, egotistical Tank Evans, isn't about to let this little penguin knock him from first place without a fight. When Cody wipes out and encounters Geek, a recluse living in the jungle, he learns some important lessons about life and surfing, and even teaches Geek a thing or two. The documentary/reality show format is a delightful surprise, and side interviews with other characters make it particularly effective. The attention to detail in this feature is terrific. The foam, waves, sand, expressions, and movements are all quite realistic, and the voices are spot on. Shia LaBeouf hits the mark perfectly as Cody, and Jeff Daniels is fun as the aging former surfer, Geek, who imparts his wisdom to the newbie. Mario Cantone voices the perpetually exasperated talent scout, Mikey, who works for sports promoter Reggie (James Woods). Jon Heder and Zooey Deschanel also lend their talents as mid-western surfer dude Chicken Joe and the lovely lifeguard Lani, respectively. Sports Penguin Entertainment Network (SPEN) correspondents Kelly Slater and Rob Machado are voiced by their real-life surfing-legend counterparts. A soundtrack including a number of past pop hits is also a nice touch.

My Life In Ruins

The Most Fun You Can Have Without A Passport Georgia is an American academic who's lost her teaching job in Athens. She's taken a job as a tour guide, but she hates it and it shows: the tourists, mostly American, are bored with history and facts; they want to shop. Every group has a goofy couple, a frat boy, a sullen teen, a feuding couple, divorcées looking for a mate, and a funny guy. This group is no exception, plus there's no air conditioning and a bearded silent driver. Thanks to an unlikely friendship, plus daisies, an ice-cream cone, the history of syrup, and the Oracle at Delphi, Georgia may have a shot at finding her kefi during this four-day tour. In a clash of personalities and cultures, everything seems to go wrong, until one day when an older traveler named Irv Gordon, shows her how to have fun, and to take a good look at the last person she would ever expect to find love with, her Greek bus driver. My Life In Ruins is set amongst the ruins of ancient Greece and Alicante, in Spain, including Guadalest and Javea. This was the first time that an American film studio was allowed to film on location at the Acropolis; the Greek government gave the studio its approval after Nia Vardalos sought permission to film several scenes there. The script is originally by Mike Reiss (The Simpsons, The Simpsons Movie), based on his travel experiences, but it was later re-written by Vardalos after she became involved. This movie is rated PG-13 for sexual content.

Erin Brockovich

Julia Roberts portrays real-life activist Erin Brockovich, a struggling single mom who initiated a legal battle with a multibillion-dollar corporation and prevailed. It all began quite simply. Brockovich sought the help of Lebanese-American lawyer Edward L. Masry (Albert Finney) after an automobile collision injured her. To both Masry and his client it seemed like an open and shut case; evidence suggested that the defendant was responsible for the crash, and as such should pay Brockovich for monetary damages in addition to her pain and suffering. To the plaintiff and her attorney's surprise the court thought differently though: Brockovich did not receive a penny. With a mere $16 in her bank account and no job the future seemed bleak, particularly for her three children. Erin's unemployment was not due to lack of effort, but lack of opportunities. If nothing else her reaction to the ruling affirmed the mother's willpower. Since Masry's defense proved inadequate she demanded a job at his firm. With a mere high school education, however, such a position seemed out of reach – if available at all. Initially he declined his client's request. As a result, Brockovich refused to leave the lawyer's office except with a job. Masry eventually caved into Erin's request and hired her as a file clerk. Aside from being scantily clad and foul-mouthed, the new hire performed exceptionally. Still no one would have ever guessed she would uncover one of the most appalling environmental crimes in history. One day while Erin was sorting through various real estate cases she found a file that contained medical documents. Her interest was immediately piqued. Why would a case about home ownership require medical evidence? The documents indicated that the Pacific Gas and Electric Company had purchased the home of an elderly woman named Donna Jensen (Marg Helgenberger), but why? Brockovich gets in touch with Donna, who reveals that PG&E not only purchased the home, but also paid for the woman's medical treatment. Brockovich probes further and discovers that Miss Jensen was a victim of chromium poisoning. Rather than plainly acknowledge responsibility, PG&E paid to cover up the incident fearing that a scandal would erupt. Erin begins interviewing hundreds of the town's residents and gathers medical statistics, discovering that an astounding number of individuals shared Jensen's medical ailments. Circumstantial evidence seems to indicate not only PG&E's complicity in the poisonings, but their awareness of it for years. Now all Brockovich needs is a smoking gun, and it is eventually placed right into her own hands. Julia Roberts was awarded a Golden Globe, Oscar, Teen Choice, and MTV Movie Award for her performance. At the box office the film earned more than $256 million internationally. The soundtrack features songs from female pop artist Sheryl Crow.

To both Masry and his client it seemed like an open and shut case; evidence suggested that the defendant was responsible for the crash, and as such should pay Brockovich for monetary damages in addition to her pain and suffering. To the plaintiff and her attorney's surprise the court thought differently though: Brockovich did not receive a penny. With a mere $16 in her bank account and no job the future seemed bleak, particularly for her three children. Erin's unemployment was not due to lack of effort, but lack of opportunities. If nothing else her reaction to the ruling affirmed the mother's willpower. Since Masry's defense proved inadequate she demanded a job at his firm. With a mere high school education, however, such a position seemed out of reach – if available at all. Initially he declined his client's request. As a result, Brockovich refused to leave the lawyer's office except with a job. Masry eventually caved into Erin's request and hired her as a file clerk. Aside from being scantily clad and foul-mouthed, the new hire performed exceptionally. Still no one would have ever guessed she would uncover one of the most appalling environmental crimes in history. One day while Erin was sorting through various real estate cases she found a file that contained medical documents. Her interest was immediately piqued. Why would a case about home ownership require medical evidence? The documents indicated that the Pacific Gas and Electric Company had purchased the home of an elderly woman named Donna Jensen (Marg Helgenberger), but why? Brockovich gets in touch with Donna, who reveals that PG&E not only purchased the home, but also paid for the woman's medical treatment. Brockovich probes further and discovers that Miss Jensen was a victim of chromium poisoning. Rather than plainly acknowledge responsibility, PG&E paid to cover up the incident fearing that a scandal would erupt. Erin begins interviewing hundreds of the town's residents and gathers medical statistics, discovering that an astounding number of individuals shared Jensen's medical ailments. Circumstantial evidence seems to indicate not only PG&E's complicity in the poisonings, but their awareness of it for years. Now all Brockovich needs is a smoking gun, and it is eventually placed right into her own hands. Julia Roberts was awarded a Golden Globe, Oscar, Teen Choice, and MTV Movie Award for her performance. At the box office the film earned more than $256 million internationally. The soundtrack features songs from female pop artist Sheryl Crow.

Surf's Up

A behind-the-scenes look at the annual Penguin World Surfing Championship, and its newest participant, up-and-comer Cody Maverick. This animated mock documentary follows penguin Cody Maverick from his hometown of Shiverpool, Antarctica, where all of the other penguins think he's a surfing fool, to the "Big Z Memorial Surf Off" on Pen Gu Island. This teenage penguin is determined to win the most important competition in the world of penguin surfing in honor of "Big Z," a deceased surfing legend whom he has idolized since childhood. But the waves in Pen Gu are different than in Shiverpool, and the competition is steep. The current champ, egotistical Tank Evans, isn't about to let this little penguin knock him from first place without a fight. When Cody wipes out and encounters Geek, a recluse living in the jungle, he learns some important lessons about life and surfing, and even teaches Geek a thing or two. The documentary/reality show format is a delightful surprise, and side interviews with other characters make it particularly effective. The attention to detail in this feature is terrific. The foam, waves, sand, expressions, and movements are all quite realistic, and the voices are spot on. Shia LaBeouf hits the mark perfectly as Cody, and Jeff Daniels is fun as the aging former surfer, Geek, who imparts his wisdom to the newbie. Mario Cantone voices the perpetually exasperated talent scout, Mikey, who works for sports promoter Reggie (James Woods). Jon Heder and Zooey Deschanel also lend their talents as mid-western surfer dude Chicken Joe and the lovely lifeguard Lani, respectively. Sports Penguin Entertainment Network (SPEN) correspondents Kelly Slater and Rob Machado are voiced by their real-life surfing-legend counterparts. A soundtrack including a number of past pop hits is also a nice touch.

My Life In Ruins

The Most Fun You Can Have Without A Passport Georgia is an American academic who's lost her teaching job in Athens. She's taken a job as a tour guide, but she hates it and it shows: the tourists, mostly American, are bored with history and facts; they want to shop. Every group has a goofy couple, a frat boy, a sullen teen, a feuding couple, divorcées looking for a mate, and a funny guy. This group is no exception, plus there's no air conditioning and a bearded silent driver. Thanks to an unlikely friendship, plus daisies, an ice-cream cone, the history of syrup, and the Oracle at Delphi, Georgia may have a shot at finding her kefi during this four-day tour. In a clash of personalities and cultures, everything seems to go wrong, until one day when an older traveler named Irv Gordon, shows her how to have fun, and to take a good look at the last person she would ever expect to find love with, her Greek bus driver. My Life In Ruins is set amongst the ruins of ancient Greece and Alicante, in Spain, including Guadalest and Javea. This was the first time that an American film studio was allowed to film on location at the Acropolis; the Greek government gave the studio its approval after Nia Vardalos sought permission to film several scenes there. The script is originally by Mike Reiss (The Simpsons, The Simpsons Movie), based on his travel experiences, but it was later re-written by Vardalos after she became involved. This movie is rated PG-13 for sexual content.

Joe Dirt

As the title character of Joe Dirt, David Spade plays a "white trash" janitor at an L.A. radio station, whose mullet hairdo is just one of many personal oddities that make him the object of much ridicule. And the sanitation gig is just the most recent of Joe's many incarnations during a tumultuous life, which got off on the wrong foot when Joe was abandoned at the Grand Canyon by his parents as a young child. After stumbling into the on-air studio, Joe steadily recounts the sad and comical story of how he cared for himself and journeyed around the country trying to relocate his family, all while being prodded, teased, and eventually embraced by a sarcastic deejay (Dennis Miller) and a rapt listening audience. His travels involve stints selling fireworks, wrangling alligators, riding aloft in a car dealership display balloon, and being held captive by a Silence of the Lambs-style serial killer. Despite numerous setbacks and bruising physical injuries, Joe emerges from each episode with his spirit intact as he searches optimistically for his roots, and eventually for the chance to return to the one place he was accepted -- a rural farm where the girl of his dreams (Brittany Daniel) awaits.

Johnny English

Johnny English is a comedic take on an almost 40 year history of spy flicks, most notably the James Bond franchise and stars British funnyman Rowan Atkinson as the film’s hero while America’s John Malkovich plays villain, Pascal Sauvage. Johnny English is an underachieving spy working for the MI7, Britain’s internationally known secret intelligence agency. England’s upper-class consider him a simpleton, too incompetent to carry out even the most minor tasks and plan to never assign him a case unless all other agents have been killed, which against all odds indeed becomes a reality. One of the agency’s top spies, Agent One is killed during a case and all MI7 agents attend his funeral to pay their respects. Ordinarily that would be a good thing, however, French villain Pascal Sauvage uses the opportunity to bomb the event and murder all of the nation’s spies – except one. Johnny’s stupidity generally causes him grief, though this time it saves his life. Now the only remaining member of MI7, Johnny is assigned to locate the killer and prevent him from causing any further chaos. Sauvage, a descendant of William the Conqueror is determined to regain his family’s reign of England, and intends to do so by stealing the Crown Jewels. Once Sauvage gains control of the monarch he plans to transform it into a prison, where citizens will essentially perform slave labor. Inevitably Johnny makes mistakes along the way, including losing the Crown Jewels he was assigned to protect. Yet with some help from his assistant, Angus Bough and love interest Lorna Campbell he might just save the kingdom after all. “Johnny English” was shot under a $40 million budget and earned more than $160 million worldwide. Due to the success of the picture many have speculated that a sequel is in the works, and Atkinson himself has hinted at the possibility on more than one occasion. The picture is rated PG for comic nudity, some crude humor and harsh language.
