More hidden gems (see previous posts).


When one of them is dying, a group of friends (Christopher Marquette, Sam Huntington, Jay Baruchel and Dan Fogler) decide to travel cross country and break into Skywalker Ranch so they can view Phantom Menace before its release. Fanboys is full of Star Wars and geek culture humor and references, plus some fun cameos. Also stars Kristen Bell.

Jeff (Dennis Quaid) and Jane (Kathleen Turner) are former spies who got married and have a baby in Undercover Blues. While on maternity leave in New Orleans, they are approached by their old boss who wants them for a job, followed by suspicious cops and stalked by a inept mugger named Muerte (a hilarious Stanley Tucci).

Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon is a horror/comedy about a young man who has given a documentary crew exclusive access to his life as he plans his reign of terror over the sleepy town of Glen Echo.

When Albert keeps seeing the same African guy, he believes it must be a meaningful coincidence. He goes to see a pair of existential detectives. I Heart Huckabees stars Jude Law, Naomi Watts, Dustin Hoffman, Lily Tomlin and Mark Wahlberg.

The Nines is a movie in three parts that intertwine with a fun bizarre ending. Ryan Reynolds plays Gary (an actor under house arrest) in Part One, Gavin (a writer trying to create his tv show) in Part Two and Gabriel (a videogame designer stranded with his wife and daughter) in Part Three. Also stars Melissa McCarthy, Hope Davis and Elle Fanning.

In Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Harry (Robert Downey, Jr.) is a petty thief posing as an actor. When he is brought to Los Angeles for an unlikely audition he finds himself in the middle of a murder investigation along with his high school dream girl (Michelle Monaghan) and a detective (Val Kilmer) who's been training him for his upcoming role. Humorous narration by RDJ.

Will (Ryan Reynolds) is in the midst of a divorce when his 10 year old daughter, Maya (Abigail Breslin), starts to question him about his life before marriage. She wants to know absolutely everything about how her parents met and fell in love. He recounts the history of his romantic relationships with three very different women but changes the names so Maya has to guess which one is her mom. Definitely, Maybe also stars Isla Fisher, Elizabeth Banks and Rachel Weisz.

Harold (Will Ferrell) awakens to his own voice-over narration only to find he is the unwitting main character in the new tragic novel from acclaimed author Karen Eiffel (Emma Thompson). Stranger Than Fiction also stars Dustin Hoffman, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Queen Latifah.
