MOPIX OC UPDATE
-- MoPix Update from WGBH - April 20
==================================================
MoPix Update from WGBH- April 20
TWO CLOSED CAPTIONED FILMS DEBUT TODAY, A LOOK AT LOVE AND SOMEONE
LOOKING A BIT TOO CLOSELY AT A COUPLE IN A MOTEL FROM HELL
In the Land of Women from Warner Bros. Pictures (cc only) (rated PG-13)
Adam Brody plays Carter Webb who has just been dumped by his true love
Sophia (Elena Anaya). Heartbroken and depressed, Carter escapes Los
Angeles to suburban Michigan to care for his ailing grandmother (Olympia
Dukakis). Soon after his arrival, Carter stumbles into the lives of the
family living directly across the street: Sarah Hardwicke (Meg Ryan),
the mother of two daughters: Paige (Makenzie Vega), and older sister
Lucy (Kristen Stewart). Through his relationships with these women, as
well as with his grandmother, Carter discovers that what felt like an
end was only just the beginning of something else.
Vacancy from Sony Pictures (cc only) (rated R)
When David (Luke Wilson) and Amy Fox's (Kate Beckinsale) car breaks down
in the middle of nowhere, they are forced to spend the night at the only
motel around, with only the TV to entertain them...until they discover
that the low budget slasher movies they're watching were all filmed in
the very room they're sitting in. With hidden cameras now aimed at
them...trapping them in rooms, crawlspaces, underground tunnels...and
filming their every move, David and Amy must struggle to get out alive
before whomever is watching them can finish their latest masterpiece.

a potential secret identity.
New! 28 Days Later from Fox Atomic (May 11) (cc dvs)
This follow-up to the terrifically successful 28 Days, picks up six

Shrek (Mike Myers) has his life of ease in the swamp threatened when his

Diaz) can object.

high seas.
Knocked Up from Universal Pictures (Jun 1) (cc dvs)
Allison Scott (Katharine Heigl) is on the fast track for a promising

working single mom, Allison tries to involve her baby's daddy in her
life, but he may turn out to be a little too immature to handle fatherhood.
