Journey to the Centre of the Earth
adventure

This 2008 movie update of Jules Verne's classic sci-fi/fantasy novel uses the 1864 tale as a template, with its hero, scientist Trevor Anderson (Brendan Fraser), referring to his missing brother's notes on the novel. With his nephew Sean (Josh Hutcherson) in tow, Anderson travels to Iceland to investigate his sibling's theories, enlisting a fellow scientist's daughter, Hannah (Anita Briem), as a guide.

Soon the trio's Icelandic mountain trek descends into a cave and, then deeper still to the centre of the earth, where dinosaurs and other strange prehistoric creatures still dwell. After many dangerous encounters with the native flora and fauna, Trevor, Sean, and Hannah must find a way back to the surface or face being stranded miles below the earth's crust.

You Don't Mess with the Zohan

comedy

Disco- and hummus-loving Zohan (Adam Sandler) is the Israeli army's best weapon. He can single-handedly take out terrorists and swim like a dolphin, and still find time to charm the ladies. But this lethal weapon is tired of fighting Palestinian terrorists like the Phantom (John Turturro). He has bigger dreams: he wants to cut and style hair. Unfortunately, once Zohan arrives in New York City with an assumed identity after faking his own death, his lack of experience gets him laughed out of salon after salon.

Finally, Dalia (Emmanuelle Chriqui), a Palestinian salon owner, gives him a shot, and the older patrons love him. But just as Zohan is hitting his stride, Salim, a Palestinian New York City cabbie (Rob Schneider) recognises him, and suddenly Zohan's dream is in jeopardy.

Teeth

comedy horror

Writer-director Mitchell Lichtenstein's feature debut is a horror comedy combining elements of atom-age 1950s horror films with mythology and feminist theory. Dawn (Jess Weixler) lives the life of a normal suburban teenager, except for the two nuclear reactors looming over her house. A goody two-shoes by any measure, she leads the local chapter of a chastity group, lecturing younger children on saving themselves for marriage. She finds herself stirred in unexpected ways, however, by new member Tobey (Hale Appleman).

Dawn lets herself get closer to him than she has to anyone else, but when he rapes her, she discovers -in the most grisly way - that she has an abnormal feature. As Dawn attempts to come to terms with her emerging sexuality, more men with bad intentions fall victim to their worst nightmare.

The Page Turner

drama

A small-town butcher's daughter, Mélanie (Julie Richalet), aged about 10, seems to have a special gift for the piano. She takes the Conservatory entrance exam, but fails after being distracted by the thoughtless behaviour of the chairwoman of the jury, a well-known concert pianist. Bitterly disappointed, Mélanie gives up the piano.

Some 10 years later, while working as an intern with a law firm, Mélanie (Déborah François) meets Monsieur Fouchécourt (Pascal Greggory), the husband of the woman who changed her life without a doubt. Mélanie's efficiency and devotion are quickly noticed and Monsieur Fouchécourt recruits her into his home to look after his son. Madame Fouchécourt (Catherine Frot) soon warms to Mélanie when her musical sensitivity comes out, and the young woman becomes her page turner.
