Length: 106 minutes
MPAA Rating: PG-13 for mature thematic elements including some disturbing violent content, and for a crude sexual reference
Starring Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson, Unbreakable is writer-director M. Night Shyamalan’s follow-up to The Sixth Sense. Willis plays David Dunn, a security guard who is never ill and has never been injured, while Jackson portrays Elijah Price, a dealer in comic book art who suffers from a genetic bone disorder. Dunn and Price meet because Price, whose bones break easily, is seeking his opposite, that is, someone who is unbreakable. It eventually begins to seem as though Dunn may really be unbreakable and that he may possess extrasensory powers as well, and the film goes on to make some intriguing revelations.

You Can Count on Me
Length: 109 minutes
MPAA Rating: R for language, some drug use and a scene of sexuality
Set in a small town in upstate New York, this character-driven drama explores the relationship between a woman and her adult brother. Sammy (Laura Linney), a loan officer at the local bank, is a single mom with an 8-year-old son. Sammy’s brother Terry (Mark Ruffalo) is a well-meaning, irresponsible drifter who left town years ago. Then Terry unexpectedly comes to visit Sammy just as she gets a new and difficult boss at the bank, and Sammy suddenly finds herself reeling from the resulting events. The charm of this film lies in the way it evokes emotional highs and lows as it examines the everyday lives of ordinary people.
