Soundtrack English; English Subtitles Supporters of the U.S. judicial system will receive an eye-opening jolt upon watching Robert Mulligan's powerful, sympathetic drama about William Popper, a college student whose attitude in court and strong-minded defense of his personal ideals is as much the reason that he is given a prison sentence as the crime he committed. When William sees his chance to escape the walls that contain him, he grabs it, sending himself and his girlfriend on the run from a justice whose goal is condemnation, not truth. Filmed in the midst of American public outcry against blinded authority, THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS provides a clear glimpse of an era in which tradition and ideals often collided. The now-familiar faces of William Devane, Charles Durning, and Rue McClanahan appear in career-starting minor roles.

THE NOTEBOOK's Nick Cassavetes directs another tearjerking literary adaptation with this drama based on Jodi Picoult's novel. Cameron Diaz takes a detour from comedy to play Sara, the domineering mother of Kate (Sofia Vassilieva, MEDIUM), a young girl with cancer. Sara’s other daughter, 11-year-old Anna (Abigail Breslin), was conceived just to serve as a donor for her sick sister. On the outskirts of the family are father Brian (Jason Patric), who feels unable to stand up to his wife’s strength, and son Jesse (Evan Ellingson), who craves attention in the face of Kate’s illness. But the complicated situation gets more difficult when Anna hires a lawyer (played by the always excellent Alec Baldwin), so that she can control her ...

A charming, low-key romantic comedy, MURPHY'S ROMANCE is full of the small pleasures missing from other pictures of its genre. James Garner, in his first Oscar-nominated performance, is the title character, Murphy. Garner lends his unique, down-home persona to the character while the film's writers endow the character with some memorable lines. Murphy's romance begins when Emma (Field) arrives in the small Arizona town where he lives. With her she brings her son Jake, and a feisty attitude. Though this sounds like a set-up from any number of other film romances, it becomes clear from their first meeting that the director, Martin Ritt, is more interested in his carefully observed setting, and in the comic ...
