I’ve been harassed by a bully. It was in high school and he might have been half my size. But he had three buddies that more than made up for his height. I got punched out, expelled because I wouldn’t squeal and spent the next few years in mortal fear that they’d do it again. So when I watched the tenured wrestling coach, Vice Principal Murney (Brad Garrett), pick on Seth (Max Thieriot) and push him around, I cringed. It prompted echoes of those school days and my subconscious wanted him squashed like a bug and humiliated publicly so he wouldn’t do it again. Thanks go to Shane Wolfe (Vin Diesel) who only had to but show him up as a coward and his boss Claire Fletcher (Lauren Graham) to outflank his need for the spotlight by putting him on stage as a nun.

What happens when you’re unhappy with your life? Some struggle through it and find a solution. Others change parts of it—job, spouse, city, etc.—to find relief from that which is causing the problems. Some see a shrink to find out whether it is them or something in their life. For Alex (William H. Macy), it isn’t quite so straightforward. He’s working in the family business with his dad Michael (Donald Sutherland). His mom, Dierdre (Barbara Bain) helped start the business and it’s all Alex has known since he was a wee sprout. No wonder he is seeing a psychiatrist. You see being employed as a killer-for-hire can be stressful. But he thinks he may have found a release after meeting Sarah Cassidy (Neve Campbell) in the doctor’s waiting room. She’s cute, perky, available and as interested in him as he is in her. This could be better for a mid-life crisis than that little red sports car.

Conspiracies are almost the staff of life on the internet. They’re pervasive. We see them on many sites where someone thinks that one or more someone elses have done something, are covering up some event or are out to do something nefarious. Who is doing what to whom and why? Geez, no wonder there is so much paranoia and skepticism around. Now comes a new threat. Mattie Webber (Kristin Bell) gets a bunch of messages from her dead boyfriend, Josh Ockmann (Jonathan Tucker), via electronic means. It seems that the dead want to return to our world via the internet. They’re pissed and they’re not taking any prisoners. Lots of the usual horror tropes with some pretty good effects.

How safe is safe? Newly divorced Meg Altman (Jodie Foster) and her daughter Sarah (Kristen Stewart) think that having a panic room in her 24,000 sq. ft., 6 bedroom new house is a bonus. When a trio of bandits breaks in, the two of them find it handy for safety. But it becomes a prison when the baddies flash her notes that what interests them is in the room and they’re not leaving until they get it.

You know how some folks always seem to suffer a degree of humiliation whenever a choice is involved? No, I don’t mean things like picking tomatoes at the grocery store. Usually it has to do with doing stuff. You get picked for the rude stuff but passed over for the cool stuff. Sally Owens (Sandra Bullock) know that feeling only too well and is bummed that it happens to her. All she wants is to be chosen for the phone tree. Her sister Gillian (Nicole Kidman) wants to help but Sally know that getting picked isn’t going to happen. About the only thing worse is that she turns up naked at school without her homework.
