 Happy Accidents 2000  R, 110 min.
Genre: Comedy / Sci-Fi / Romance
Director: Brad Anderson
Cast: Marisa Tomei, Vincent D'Onofrio, Nadia Dajani, Tovah Feldshuh, Holland Taylor, Richard Portnow, Sean Gullette, Cara Buono, Jose Zuniga, Bronson Dudley, Sanjay Chandani, Lianna Pai, Tamara Jenkins, Saidah Arrika Ekulona, Mike McGlone
New Yorker Ruby Weaver (Marisa Tomei) searches for love but typically ends up with men who have problems; therefore, it seems natural that when she meets Sam (Vincent D'Onofrio) he tells her that he has time-traveled back from the future–2470, to be exact. The story begins with a series of flashbacks as Ruby talks to her therapist Meg Ford (Holland Taylor) and tells her that Sam traveled back in time to escape prosecution for his sister's death and because he found a picture of Ruby at home and wanted to find her. Is Sam telling the truth, and will Meg be able to sort things out? Witty and entertaining.

Genre: Drama / Mystery / Thriller
Director: Jon Avnet

New York City detectives Rooster (Al Pacino) and Turk (Robert De Niro) are on the trail of a serial killer who leaves poems justifying his actions at the scene of the crimes. The killer seems to have ties to a case four years before when Turk set up an acquitted killer by planting a gun in his apartment. Detectives Perez (John Leguizamo) and Riley (Donnie Wahlberg) join the case after working on a similar murder case, and Perez begins to suspect that there is more to Turk than meets the eye. Even Turk's girlfriend Detective Karen Corelli (Carla Gugino) begins to question his actions–especially after the gun that Turk planted in the acquitted man's apartment appears to have a connection with the guns left at the scenes by the serial killer they are pursuing.
