Questionable Fathers
13-year old Henry (Gattlin Griffith) offers a stranger a lift in Jason Reitman's Labor Day. Unsure of rough and intimidating Frank (Josh Brolin), Henry's mother Adele (Kate Winslet)
is wary of the stranger who calmly but firmly asserts himself into
their life. The news reveals that Frank is an escaped convict, but his
place in a single mother's home fills a void: he fixes cars, repairs
plumbing, cooks, and does dishes. Henry's father (Clark Gregg)
is concerned about a new presence in his ex-wife's house (and in his
son's life) and the whole town is on the lookout for an escaped convict,
but all of their lives will be irrevocably changed by Frank's presence.
With Tobey Maguire. On DVD and Blu Ray.
Jim wants the last day of his family's Disneyworld vacation to be memorable Escape from Tomorrow.
He's just gotten a call letting him know he's lost his job, but instead
of telling his wife, he throws himself (and his young son and daughter)
into the fantasy adventure of the park. Though he wants the day to be a
good one, Jim's mind starts to play tricks on him as he sees evil faces
on the animatronic puppets, suspects a park-wide infection, and finds
himself haunted by a pair of teenage girls he can't seem to stop
following. Made with clandestine cameras, without permission from
Disney, the park becomes a villain out to destroy Jim and unravel his
psyche.
Runaway, pregnant teen Apple (Vanessa Hudgens) is fleeing her unstable, abusive, meth-addicted mother (Rosario Dawson) in Gimme Shelter. After receiving a letter from her long-lost father (Brendan Fraser),
Apple escapes to New Jersey in hopes of rescue: her father, now
remarried, is a successful and wealthy stockbroker, and he takes in his
estranged, wayward daughter and will support her through her abortion.
Still lost, confused, and not entirely welcomed by her father's family,
the answers Apple's troubles still haven't presented themselves, but
could come from an unlikely source (James Earl Jones).
Maniacal Leaders
While vicious Greek King Amphitryon (Scott Adkins) descends into madness and tyranny, his wife's prayers for salvation are answered in Legend of Hercules: she is to give birth to the son of Zeus. As he grows up, Hercules (Kellan Lutz)
is different from his brother Iphicles, Amphitryon's natural son--
Hercules is noble, brave, and wins the heart of Hebe even though she's
betrothed to Iphicles. Though he's sent to war and eventually the
gladiatorial arenas, Hercules will fight his way back to Greece to
unseat the mad king and claim the woman he loves.
Baton Rouge detective Bud Carter (Willem Dafoe) threatens to topple the local crime syndicate when he arrests hitman Jesse Weiland (Matt Dillon) in Bad Country. If Jesse becomes an informant, Bud will protect him and his wife (Amy Smart)

underworld, but making an enemy of white supreme crime boss Lutin Adams (Tom Beringer) will prove more dangerous than any of them could imagine.

Virgil over the phone or through locked doors, and he becomes obsessed
with seeing the woman who will only let herself be heard. While his
artist friends and collaborators (Jim Sturgess and Donald Sutherland)
help him make sense of her artistic windfall, Virgil, who's never had a
relationship with a woman, is more interested in the heiress herself.

develop their romance, they both have to address and deal with the
emotional baggage they bring with them.
