Rated: R
Starring: Wes Bentley, Rachel Nichols, Simon Reynolds, Grace Lynn Kung
Directed by: Franck Khalfoun
Rachel Nichols and Wes Bentley pair up in P2, a
high-energy thriller that hits its target with white-knuckled suspense and
mind-bending terror. I was totally
immersed in the story from the start, and glued to the screen until the heart-pounding finish.

Lions for Lambs - Ideals and Soap Boxes |

Rated: R
Starring: Robert Redford, Meryl Streep, Tom Cruise, Michael Pena, Derek Luke
Directed by: Robert Redford
An all-star cast, led by Robert Redford, who works on both sides of the camera and does a worthy job of bringing Lions For Lambs to life. But, I found the script by writer Mathew Michael Carnahan a treat with a trick. I was completely taken in by what I thought was a non-political movie only to be tricked into a ‘soap box" derby. The treat comes with the outstanding acting by Cruise, Streep, Pena and Luke.

Rated: PG-13
Starring: Robin Williams, Mandy Moore (II), John Krasinski, and Eric Christian Olsen
Director: Ken Kwapis
Synopsis: Newly engaged, Ben Murphy (Krasinski) and Sadie Jones (Moore) can't wait to start their life together and live happily ever
after. The problem is that Sadie's family church is
run by Reverend Frank (Williams), who won't bless Ben and Sadie's
union until they pass his "foolproof" marriage-prep course.
Consisting of outrageous classes, outlandish homework assignments and
some invasion-of-privacy techniques, Reverend Frank's rigorous curriculum
puts Ben and Sadie's relationship to the test. Forget happily ever
after—do they even have what it takes to make it to the altar (well, does anyone for that matter)?
