Between Strangers 2002 R, 95 min. Genre: Drama
Director: Edoardo Ponti Cast: Sophia Loren, Mira Sorvino, Deborah Kara Unger, Pete Postlethwaite, Klaus Maria Brandauer, Gerard Depardieu, Malcolm McDonald, Wendy Crewson, Andrew Tarbet, John Neville, Gerry Mendicino, Kathryn Winslow
The stories of three women, each trying to overcome past or current demons, are loosely intertwined through a shallow plot. Good cast, but not a great directorial debut for Sophia Loren's son Edoardo Ponti.

Director: George A. Romero Cast: Jason Flemyng, Leslie Hope, Peter Stormare, Nina Garbiras, Andrew Tarbet, Tom Atkins, Jonathan Higgins, Jeff Monahan, Marie Cruz, Balazs Koos
George A. Romero is at it again in this thriller/ horror flick. Henry (Jason Flemyng) is a real "97-pound weakling" who allows others to walk over him. His boss (at the magazine called "Bruiser") is having an affair with Henry's wife, and his best friend and advisor is ripping him off. One day Henry awakens to find that he has no face–just a blank whiteness where the face belongs. Now he can get revenge on those who have wronged him. A sort of fun tongue-in-cheeker with a social message.
