In her Oscar-winning performance, Charlize Theron plays real-life serial killer Aileen Wuornos, who was executed in 2002 in Florida for killing six men. The movie details the love story between Wuornos, a drifter/prostitute, and Selby Wall (Christina Ricci), sent by her parents to live with an aunt in Florida in order to “cure her homosexuality.” To keep their relationship alive, Aileen continues hooking, which fuels an increasingly escalating deadly rage.

In a comedy that gives new meaning to the phrase “foreign relations,” Scotty Thomas (Scott Mechlowicz) has been corresponding with a German computer pen pal, Mieke (Jessica Borhs), for years. But when Mieke makes a “cyber pass” at Scotty, he completely freaks out, thinking that his male friend is coming on to him. By the time Scotty figures out that Mieke is a girl, and a hot one at that, Mieke has cut off her e-mail account and all contact with him, so Scotty and his best friends, Cooper (Jacob Pitts) and the twins Jenny (Michelle Trachtenberg) and Jamie (Travis Wester), embark on a raucous trip across Europe in search of Scott’s could-be true love.

Lonnie (Eddie Griffin), Dominic (Michael Imperioli) and ‘G’ (Anthony Anderson) are three bachelor buddies from the hood who, after a lifetime of hard partying, are in for a rude awakening when their respective girlfriends all get pregnant at the same time. The fathers-to-be embark on an emotional journey while learning as much about themselves as they do about love and fatherhood.

Determined to find the money to pay for her mountain-climbing father’s surgery, 12-year-old Maddy (Kristen Stewart), a budding climber herself, recruits two of her friends, Austin (Corbin Bleu), a computer genius, and Gus (Max Thieriot), a mechanical whiz kid, to help her pull off a risky heist–breaking into a super-high-tech bank whose security is run by Maddy’s mother (Jennifer Beals).

Directed by the eclectic Robert Altman, the movie centers on the Chicago ballet company–the difficult daily work, the intense pressures of performance, and the richly textured behaviors of the dancers–whose professional and personal lives grow impossibly close. Starring Neve Campbell, James Franco and Malcolm McDowell.

The final installment of the trilogy finds Middle-Earth still in turmoil. As the threat of the Dark Lord Sauron in Mordor grows ever more present, Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen), Legolas (Orlando Bloom) and the rest of the Fellowship, along with the great wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen), continue to wage their war in the city of Gondor. Meanwhile, Sam (Sean Astin) and Frodo (Elijah Wood) continue their torturous journey into Mordor to cast the Ring into the fires of Mount Doom, destroying it forever. Gollum (voiced by Andy Serkis), however, still pretending to be Sam and Frodo’s ally, has other, more selfish plans for the Ring.
