- DirectorAlan ShapiroStarsCary ElwesAlicia SilverstoneJennifer RubinA journalist becomes the unwanted center of attention for a 14-year-old girl, who proceeds to sabotage his life after he refuses her sexual advances.1/3-Another one of those "stalker" movies.

A black guy in a white man's body. Made in the style of "Bringing Down the House", "Bulworth" etc. A good variation of this would a white man in a black man's body. Has that been done yet? If so, could that be a comedy?

- DirectorDavid M. RosenthalStarsSanaa LathanMichael EalyMorris ChestnutAfter breaking up with her boyfriend, a professional woman gets involved with a man who seems almost too good to be true.6/4-Brief, halfway decent date movie.

- DirectorOlivier MegatonStarsLiam NeesonForest WhitakerMaggie GraceAccused of a ruthless murder he never committed or witnessed, Bryan Mills goes on the run and brings out his particular set of skills to find the true killer and clear his name.6/5-Funny when the hero of the movie just taps somebody and they fall as though it is the hardest punch they ever felt.

As a last resort, he partners with a greedy co-worker to rob a casino. When things go awry they're forced to hijack a city bus.7/16-Very bad. Big names, but bad.
