Kirsten Dunst, Jason Schwartzman, Asia Argento, Rip Torn, Molly Shannon
Directed by:
Sofia Coppola
Kirsten is known for her flamboyant, off the radar movies, and shes really a great actress. Shes got talent, so does director Sofia (i can call her by her first name im cool like that). Plus its based on a woman of our history (well European history but its still our history) And all her trials and tribulations. Did you know that Marie Antoinette was beheaded? I didnt. Shes an interesting person to read about, you should wickipedia her. Google doesnt do her justice.

Babel
Starring:
Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, Gael Garcia Bernal, Elle Fanning, Koji Yakusho
Directed by:
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
If you havent seen Amores Perros - then you shoudl because its directed by this same guy Alejandro GOnzalez Inarritu. That film was amazing. And this will be too. Its about :
In the remote sands of the Moroccan desert, a rifle shot rings out--detonating a chain of events that will link an American tourist couple’s frantic struggle to survive, two Moroccan boys involved in an accidental crime, a nanny illegally crossing into Mexico with two American children and a Japanese teen rebel whose father is sought by the police in Tokyo. Separated by clashing cultures and sprawling distances, each of these four disparate groups of people are nevertheless hurtling towards a shared destiny of isolation and grief. In the course of just a few days, they will each face the dizzying sensation of becoming profoundly lost--lost in the desert, lost to the world, lost to themselves--as they are pushed to the farthest edges of confusion and fear as well as to the very depths of connection and love.
Oh yeah, its got CAte blanchet and Brad - nuff said!

She sees and feels the brutal murder of a young woman she's never met, at the hands of a heartless killer--a man who appears to be making Joanna his next target.

While the other kids are out having fun, Ben spends these precious few weeks attending bible classes, having driving lessons...
