It seemed harmless and fun, but the affair that Alan (Joseph Fiennes) began with Ella (Gretchen Mol) at the resort where he was working would have deadly consequences. No level of passion on their part could erase the fact that Ella's husband Mark (Ray Liotta) has sworn vengeance. Mark's detest of her betrayal brings out his most vicious side, and the two men begin a decades-long vendetta which continues long after the deeds are forgotten.

Mary Holmes has a great life. She's young, beautiful, lives in Los Angeles. She has a good job teaching at a private elementary school and four beautiful children. But things aren't always what they seem. Mary has problems. She has a difficult time feeling things, and the fact that she eats twenty Vicodin a day doesn't help. She sees a psychiatrist for the disconnect daydreams she keeps having, and her younger sister with Tourettes hates her. And when she loses her job for sleeping with one of the fathers on Parent's night, she decides to go home. And that's when the fun really starts.

The dreams which seemed so random now start to take real shape as we understand where she came from. From young and in love, drug dealing on the road, to her father's slow painful death, from questions of love and incest to her older sister's descent into insanity, the secret that destroyed her entire family reveals itself on her journey back home, along with Mary's ultimate responsibility for it. Busby Berkeley, Cirque de Soleil, Circus freaks, and human farm animals all make appearances in this hallucinogenic tale of love and comeuppance.

Paul Schrader's "Forever Mine" tells a not-very-compelling, still-less-credible story of love, betrayal, and retribution. A cabana boy (Joseph Fiennes) at a Florida beach resort falls hard for a gorgeous guest (Gretchen Mol) neglected by her wheeler-dealer husband (Ray Liotta). After a steamy nude scene and a sweet, barefoot date, Fiennes follows her home to New York and declares undying love. Mol, a good Catholic girl who reads "Madame Bovary", confesses the affair to Liotta. Being shadier than she realizes, he arranges to have nasty things befall his rival. Cut to 14 years later (though in fact the movie has been shuffling time periods since the beginning): Fiennes, long presumed dead, resurfaces to lend his talents (he's become a master criminal) to the now thoroughly corrupt Liotta and see what his beloved is up to. Fiennes has a new name, and a scar on one side of his face, so neither recognizes him. You don't have a problem with that, do you?\n Nonrecognition is always a tricky proposition in movies, but "Forever Mine"'s problems don't end there. Fiennes, sans "Shakespeare in Love" beard and Bardlike charisma, doesn't begin to suggest a guy who'd inspire obsession. His costar's attempt at creating a soul sister to Emma Bovary is as underacted as it is underwritten, and Liotta's husband is just a lout, despite a desperate stab at giving him a virtually literary sensitivity regarding his romantic one-upping.\tYou want a spellbinding Schrader movie about outr?© passion and literary mystery, look up "The Comfort of Strangers".

Los Angeles, a city of over 10 million inhabitants, is fabled the world over for a flashy landscape punctuated by the promise of fame and glamour. But beneath the tabloid headlines and the flashing bulbs lies a city whose people clamor every day to simply find a place for themselves.

In Powder Blue, four people embark on different journeys that lead them through the same place. A place where loneliness abounds and everything wrings the heart, but where truths are revealed and human connections are found.

Charlie Bishop, a former priest, has lost his faith and sets out on an unspeakable mission. He struggles to free himself of his religious training and ethical beliefs, which have become profoundly ingrained in his physical and emotional existence. He loads two bullets into a gun, and with fifty thousand dollars in the trunk of his car, roams the city streets searching for someone desperate enough to pull the trigger in exchange for the money. But even desperation is finite, and there are lines that even those who live on the periphery won’t cross.

On the other side of town, a former hit-man drifts in an out of consciousness on a city bus. Jack Doheny, recently released from a twenty-five year sentence in prison, has just been diagnosed with terminal cancer. Knowing that any breath could be his last, he sets out to find redemption in a now unfamiliar world where the only familiar things are faded mementos of a past love found through a young woman named Rose-Johnny.

Like thousands before and after her, Rose-Johnny moved to L.A. with dreams of becoming a screen star. But her dreams are crushed when her son falls into a coma after a serious accident. She lives alone in a motel and out of desperation and need, dances at a bar to cover the staggering hospital bills. Her only prayer is that her son will awake, and her only comfort is her beloved dog Rudy. One night, after another awkward and unsuccessful date, she returns to the motel to find her dog missing. Grief stricken and panicked at the thought of losing everything, she combs the streets searching for her lost companion.

Meanwhile, Charlie the priest encounters Qwerty Doolittle, a young eccentric mortician who spends his days helping the less fortunate in their time of need. Qwerty’s unusual empathy and charitable tendencies have put him in serious debt and in grave danger of losing his business. With Charlie’s gun and offer of money, Qwerty has a decision to make that could change his life forever.

Fate and synchronicity cause these four strangers to intersect through extraordinary and serendipitous circumstances. Even in a city that shatters dreams as casually as it fulfills them, fear and courage can slip open a door to the one thing everybody in any city dreams of finding… love.

Based on one of the most incendiary political uprisings in a generation, Battle in Seattle takes an in-depth look at the five days that rocked the world in 1999 as tens of thousands of demonstrators took to the streets in protest of the World Trade Organization. What began as a peaceful protest intended to stop the WTO talks quickly escalated into a full-scale riot and eventual State of Emergency that squared off peaceful and unarmed protestors against the Seattle Police Department and the National Guard.
