2014 PG-13 Inspiring Drama-
- Plot: Drew Jacobs is a high school track star who shows tremendous potential -- until his brother's (Gigandet) drug trade gets in the way. But when Drew draws the attention of a reticent former track coach (Jenkins), the two slowly begin to transform each other's lives. Trailer
- Review: Richard Jenkins got robbed of the Oscar a few years back IMO. Nice to see ANTM alum Analeigh Tipton becoming a house-hold name & getting trailer screen credits finally. I did track in Middle & HS, and I love sports movies. Tons of reasons to watch this movie. Hope the lead is good in it. Never heard of him.

2014 Biopic History Channel Mini Series-
- Plot: As colorfully depicted in this two-part miniseries, master illusionist Harry Houdini (Brody) redefined the art of the public spectacle with his astounding escapes from ever-more terrifying devices, including the legendary Chinese Water Torture Cell. Trailer
- Review: Though Brody looks nothing like Houdini, I'm still interested in seeing this film because Brody is a fantastic actor, History channel produces some great films/series/mini-series with historical integrity, and magic tricks and the spectacle of the stage fascinate me.

2010 R Sci-FI Thriller-
- Plot: Set in an alternate America, this chilling adaptation of Philip K. Dick's sci-fi classic centers on Nicholas Brady (Scarfe), a Berkeley record store clerk who takes subversive action after receiving messages from a mysterious entity named VALIS. Along with bemused pal Phil (Whigham), Brady moves to Los Angeles, becomes a record executive and meets songwriter Sylvia (Morissette), but VALIS's dark motives are yet to be revealed. Trailer
- Review: I love Phillip K. Dick novels and smart scifi. I hope Morissette is good in this. I've only seen her in Dogma and an episode of "Sex and the City". She didn't do much in those. I hope the low budget doesn't distract.
- Rating: TBD.
