So Undercover
Miley? Mollly? Nope, Brooke. At least, that will be her name when
teen private investigator Molly Morris (Miley Cyrus) goes undercover for the
FBI. Even though cheating spouses and minor thieves have been her speciality,
the FBI chooses her to take on a serious mission of immense magnitiude , simply
because she looks the part. Cyrus steps out of her comfort zone in this movie
barely, sticking to her tween audience. With an interesting cast like Kelly
Osbourne and Lauren McKnight, however, the plot has added character. And as
with most chick flicks/comedies/adventure flicks, Molly (Cyrus) falls in love
with sexy leading man Joshua Bowman. A movie to watch, but probably not one
that will define the year.

Elles
Journalist Anne
(Juliette Binoche) has a very challenging task in her hands – a magazine
article revolving around the lives of two student prostitutes. The girls face
challenges in keeping up with their jobs but presses on as it pays for their
studies and eventually, more. It is no wonder that they get addicted to the
easy money; it comes along with a sense of independence and freedom, instead of
burden that Anne expected. As Anne’s assignment starts to get more personal for
her, questions begin to rise in her own mind about her own sexuality and
desires.

Red Numbers
How
lucky are you – or
are you not?
That’s
the question Red Number asks.
The
story revolves around a guy who, according to a Feng Shui master only has three
lucky minutes in his miserable life. His fortune is wrapped up with a greedy
family whose grandfather – dead or alive, nobody knows for sure – holds the key
to the winning combination in the 4D lottery.
Three
minutes, four numbers, a lot of money – or maybe not.

The Haunting in
Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia
A sequel, or rather, a “sister film” to the 2009 The Haunting in
Connecticut, this movie was initially supposed to be called The Haunting in
Georgia according to earlier reports. Makes more sense, too, since this
follow-up story is about a spooked house in Georgia.
Soon after the Wyrick family moved into the historic house, their
only child Heidi (Emily Alyn Lind) started encountering strangers that only she
can see. But before long, the couple too begin to realize that they are not the
only ones living in the house. The place holds deep secrets from centuries old
stories…and those mysteries are now coming back to haunt the family.
