Laurel Canyon, a street that runs through the heart of the Hollywood Hills, has fordecades been a sort of Greenwich Village of the West, home to many musicians, actors,artists and other bohemian types. Among its current residents is Jane (FrancesMcDormand), a veteran record producer, trying to come up with a hit single for a British band whose lead singer Ian (Alessandro Nivola) is her much younger lover.

Jane's son Sam (Christian Bale) and his fiance Alex (Kate Beckinsale) are both recent graduates of Harvard medical school. Conservative and serious, the couple move to Los Angeles to complete their studies, planning to stay in Jane's home, which she had promised would be vacant. But when they arrive, Sam is distressed to discover Jane and the band still working in Jane's home recording studio. Jane's carefree lifestyle is anathema to Sam, who has devoted his life to being anyone but his mother's son. Sam and Alex begrudgingly agree to stay at Jane's house until they can find an alternative place to live.

Once in the house, however, Sam and Alex's tight control over their lives begins to unravel. Increasingly, Alex finds herself seduced by Jane and Ian, leaving Sam adrift, vulnerable to the approach of fellow medical resident Sara (Natascha McElhone).

The Brit-pop sounds of Ian's band and the sunbleached southern California landscape set the tone for this rigorously honest exploration of relationships between people with wildly divergent world views.

Catwoman

Cast: Halle Berry, Sharon Stone, Benjamin Bratt, Lambert Wilson, Alex Borstein, Peter Wingfield, Frances McDormand, Ryan Robbins

Patience Philips (Halle Berry) is a woman who just won’t stand up for herself -- and the world is more than willing to step all over her in return. A meek people-pleaser, she squanders her considerable artistic talent in a thankless job as a graphics designer for behemoth cosmetics company Hedare Beauty, a ‘youth and beauty at all costs’ conglomerate run by the tyrannical George Hedare (Lambert Wilson) and his icy supermodel wife, Laurel (Sharon Stone).

In a fateful turn of events, Patience’s quiet life is forever changed when she overhears a conversation revealing that Hedare’s too-good-to-be-true new anti-aging product is...too good to be true. Caught in the wrong place at the worst possible time, Patience is murdered to keep Hedare’s secret safe. But all is not lost.

Resurrected by mysterious forces, she awakens…and she doesn’t come back alone. Suddenly gifted with strength, agility and ultra-keen senses, she is no longer just Patience -- she is also Catwoman, a seductive creature delicately balancing on the dangerously thin line between good and bad.

Her adventures begin as she goes on the prowl to settle a few scores and have herself some long overdue fun. But Catwoman’s exploits quickly complicate Patience’s burgeoning relationship with Tom Lone (Benjamin Bratt), a handsome cop dedicated to saving the good guys from the bad guys -- and the belief that there’s no gray area between the two. The detective is falling for Patience, but he can’t shake his fascination with the feline fatale who appears to be responsible for a string of crimes being committed throughout the city.

As her wild side breaks loose, the line between Patience and her untamed alter ego begins to blur -- and neither of them feel like playing by anyone else’s rules anymore.

Sometimes you have to die to get a life.

Now as they settle into their early middle age, their friendship is increasingly challenged by the ever-growing disparity in their individual degrees of financial comfort.
