The Story: The reverberating shock felt by the survivors of a senseless massacre in a suburban Los Angeles coffee shop.The most direct witness is waitress Carla (Kate Beckinsale), who has just shared a moment with Dr. Bruce Laraby (Guy Pearce) as he was leaving the diner, and inadvertently opening the door to the gunman. Near Carla is Charlie (Forest Whitaker), who has been thumbing a brochure about cancer at the counter.
Succeeding passages reveal additional moments from the massacre, including the full extent of the gunman's cruel killing of Aaron (Tim Guinee), the father of Anne (Dakota Fanning), who's hiding under a booth table with best friend Jimmy (Josh Hutcherson). After a tussle with Charlie, the gunman shoots himself.
In the local hospital's emergency ward, Bruce futilely attempts to save the gunman's life, and is told by fellow surgeon Dan (James LeGros) that doctors can't play God. Thus begins a rather dull, repetitive pattern: The life-and-death event unleashes an extended encounter with God and fate, with each survivor managing it in a different manner. Told that he's "beyond lucky" to be alive, Charlie heads off to a casino. Anne resorts to her own personal brand of Christianity, preaching about obedience to God's will to the point that mother Doris (Jeanne Tripplehorn) grows concerned for her sanity, even as Anne begins to draw a large assembly of believers at school.
Jimmy's response is to go mute and shut down emotionally, resisting any help from hospital psychologist Ron (Troy Garity), while his father Bob (Jackie Earle Haley) fears his son's condition may jeopardize his family's health coverage.
Strangest response of all comes from doc Bruce, who seems to be suffering from unarticulated survivor's guilt, especially since he just happened to miss the massacre by moments
Starring: Kate Beckinsale, Guy Pearce, Dakota Fanning, Forest Whitaker, Embeth Davidtz, Jennifer Hudson, Jackie Earle Haley, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Josh Hutcherson
The Story: We follow the lives of five teenagers--a jock, a popular girl, a heartthrob, an artsy girl and a geek--in one small town in Indiana through their senior year of high school. Rebel: Hannah, smart, beautiful, ambitious but troubled; an arty liberal in a small traditional, conservative, Christian, midwestern town. Dreaming of moving to California after graduation. Princess: Megan, student council vice president, prom queen; wealthy, pretty, popular. Anxiously awaiting the results of her application to the expensive college that all her siblings attended.
Geek: Jake, the classic geek. Socially awkward and lacking in empathy, crushed with self-doubt and covering it up with bravado, Jake is determined to find a girlfriend in senior year. Whether she likes it or not. Jock: Colin, local basketball star, desperate to make an impression not only on his school, his dad and his coach, but to get the sports scholarship that will change his life and save him from the army.
Hearthrob: Mitch: Mr Popular to Megan’s Miss. Good looking, charming, but with an unexpected soft side.
And then we follow the students for a year. Big Brother like, all their trials and tribulations are laid bare. And they are, for the most part, exactly what you would expect. Boyfriends. Girlfriends. College. Grades. Hannah is excruciatingly unlucky in love. Megan makes Cordelia Chase look like a saint. Mitch is, frankly, an idiot. There are no words for Jake. Sad. Maybe slightly autistic. And Colin just needs to learn to stop hogging the ball and everything will be just fine.
Starring: Hannah Bailey, Colin Clemens, Megan Krizmanich, Jake Tusing, Geoff Haase, Mitch Reinholt, Ali Wikalinska. (as themselves)
The Story: Walt Kowalski (Clint Eastwood) a retired Polish American Ford automobile assembly line worker and Korean War veteran, haunted by memories of that conflict, lives with his Labrador Retriever Daisy in the same house for much of his adult life, in an older working class suburban neighborhood of Highland Park, Detroit Michigan.
It is slowly transforming into an immigrant neighborhood. The Lor family, of ethnic Hmong descent, move in next door to Walt, the family which includes two teenagers: a shy Thao Vang Lor (Bee Vang) and his feisty sister Sue (Ahney Her), live with their widowed mother and grandmother.
When a Hispanic gang confronts Thao, the Hmong gang, led by Thao's older cousin Spider (DouaMoua), helps Thao by frightening the Hispanic gang and forcing them to flee. The Hmong gang, at that point, tries to persuade Thao to join them. Thao's initiation is to steal Walt's prized car, a 1972 Gran Torino Sport. Walt interrupts the robbery, pointing a rifle in Thao's face and forcing him to flee.
After a few days, Spider and his gang return. With Sue at his side, Thao manages to verbally confront them to no avail. The gang drags Thao off his porch in an attempt to assault him. His family tries desperately to fend off Spider and his cohorts. The conflict ends when Walt threatens the gang members with his M1 Garand rifle and orders them to get off his lawn. They leave the neighborhood, telling Walt to watch his back.
This incident, only the latest of run-in's Thao has had with them, sparks the neighbors to get to know each other. This new relationship with his neighbors extends to an antagonistic relationship with the Vietnamese gang. Walt realizes that neither Thao or Sue will ever be able to live in peace as long as the gang exists.
Drawn against his will into the life of Thao's family, Walt is soon taking steps to protect them from the gangs that infest their neighborhood. Starring: Clint Eastwood, Brian Haley, Brian Howe, Cory Hardrict, Doua Moua, Dreama Walker, Geraldine Hughes, John Carroll Lynch.

The Story: Inspired by actual events that occurred in 1920s-era Los Angeles. The year was 1928, and the setting a working-class suburb of Los Angeles. Christine (Angelina Jolie), a single mother and her 10-year-old son Walter (Gattlin Griffith), who share a modest house in a quiet neighborhood in Los Angeles. Christine has the photogenic job of telephone supervisor on roller-skates, overseeing dozens of female operators as they connect calls at a giant switchboard. Early sound films were loaded with scenes of smart-talking women handling phone lines; Eastwood takes advantage of the inspiration of skates to cover them in neat tracking shots.
One day when Christine is late getting home from work, Walter is gone. Nearly five months later, Christine is informed that her son has been found in Illinois. With all attendant hoopla for the benefit of the press and police, a reunion is arranged at the train station, but, as soon as the boy steps onto the platform, Christine knows this kid is not her son.
The police, fronted by Capt. J.J. Jones (Jeffrey Donovan), insist otherwise, waving off definitive evidence relating to physical discrepancies. Even when Walter's dentist, teacher and fellow students insist he's not the right boy, the replacement himself remains maddeningly resolute, driving the otherwise level-headed Christine to distraction.
Initially, this is due to the tireless efforts of a crusading radio evangelist, the Rev. Gustav Briegleb (John Malkovich), one of whose missions is to expose what he sees as the complete corruption of the LAPD under Chief James E. Davis (Colm Feore). On Christine's side from the beginning, the pastor persists in using her case to spotlight the department's malfeasance, and the character is notable as one of the few screen depictions of a righteous Christian leader of this period (Aimee Semple McPherson) to be cast in an entirely favorable light.
Irrevocably setting the judicial machinery in motion is a boy in his early teens (Eddie Alderson) who movingly tells police about some horrific murders of kidnapped boys he's unwillingly participated in with an unhinged young man, Gordon Northcott (Jason ButlerHarner), out in the desert.
What happens next to Capt. Jones, the police chief, the mayor and the murderers, among others -- is all part of the public record and the less than salubrious history of Los Angeles politics.
Starring: Angelina Jolie, John Malkovich, Jeffrey Donovan, Michael Kelly, Colm Feore, Jason Butler Harner, Amy Ryan, Geoff Pierson, Denis O’Hare, Frank Wood , Peter Gerety, Gattlin Griffith Devon Conti.

Running up against the barbed-wired camp enclosure, he befriends a Jewish boy his own age, Shmuel (Jack Scanlon).

The Story: Three men walk into a bar; two geeks and cynic. They are three ordinary blokes who all have dreams and hopes for an exciting and better future. They are stuck in boring jobs with no prospects. They are frustrated and life on the whole looks uneventful. They are about to sit down and have an average night out in their local pub, a few beers, a bit of banter and joking, and putting the world to rights. There is no reason to suspect anything unusual is going to happen.
The first geek: Ray (Chris O’Dowd), has a well-known obsession with time travel, so when he is approached by Cassie (Anne Faris), a woman who claims to be from the future, he naturally suspects a prank.
The second geek: Toby (Marc Wootton), , is obsessed with films, and upon hearing Ray’s story of the woman from the future, naturally assumes that Ray is pitching him a film plot. And Pete (Dean Lennox Kelly), the cynic, naturally doesn’t believe any of it, until he accidentally stumbles through a time leak into the future of the bar. This happens to be full of dead people, including him.
This triggers the start of a series of accidental trips back and forth through time, during which our heroes frantically try to avoid multiple earlier versions of themselves, to avoid creating a time paradox, in an attempt to unravel the mystery of just who is trying to kill them and why. Starring: Anna Faris, Chris O'Dowd, Marc Wootton, Dean Lennox Kelly, Meredith MacNeill
