Jessica Biel, Colin Firth and Kristin Scott Thomas star in this comedy adapted from Noël Coward's 1924 play attacking the values of the English landed gentry. The play's only previous screen adaptation was the 1928 silent directed by Alfred Hitchcock. The 2008 movie was directed and co-written by Stephan Elliott (The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert). Biel plays the winner of a major auto race in Monaco who marries a young Englishman and accompanies him to his family's country estate. There she gets into a battle of wills with his snobbish mother (Scott Thomas).

Donald Faison, Mike Epps and Wood Harris play key roles in this crime comedy. Faison portrays a pothead who works as a delivery man for an overnight service called Next Day Air. One day he drops off a package containing a small fortune in cocaine at the wrong South Philadelphia address, and it falls into the hands of some bumbling lowlifes (played by Epps and Harris). This sets in motion a complicated chain of events — some funny, some harrowing — as the lowlifes attempt to sell the coke while the drug dealers try to get it back. Debbie Allen and Mos Def appear in the movie.

Hugh Jackman and Liev Schreiber star in this comic-book-derived actioner, the fourth film in the series that began with X-Men (2000). The movie chronicles the back story of the superhero known as Wolverine (Jackman), who has retractable claws made of an indestructible metal called adamantium. The tale centers on the half-brothers James Logan (Jackman) and Victor Creed (Schreiber), mutants who fight in the American Civil War, World Wars I and II, and Vietnam. They both become part of the elite Team X, which involves lots of explosions, chases and battles.
