As old feelings complicate the new arrangement, Nicky mush also contend with the no-nonsense Owens (Gerald McRaney), Garriga’s head-of-security who openly distrusts Nicky.

While Jess swears that she is on Nicky’s side and also is conning the billionaire, in a business like Nicky’s where loyalty and trust are non-existent, it’s hard to know which side she is really on.

Love Actually follows the lives of eight very different couples in dealing with their love lives in various loosely interrelated tales all set during a frantic month before Christmas in London, England about romantic love and the obstacles to happiness.

The newly elected Prime Minster (Hugh Grant) falls in love with a young junior staffer (Marlene McCutcheon); A married man, Harry (Alan Rickman) and Karen (Emma Thompson) have been in a stable long term marriage but Harry is tempted by his attractive new assistant Mia (Heike Makatsch); Daniel’s (Liam Neeson) wife has just died, leaving him to take care of his adolescent stepson Sam (Thomas Brodie-Sangster) by himself; Sarah (Laura Linney), a desperate young American girl finally takes courage to talk to Karl (Rodrigo Santoro) who she has been in love with for two years; Jamie (Colin Firth), a writer travels to the south of France on a writing retreat trying to forget about catching his latest girlfriend (Sienna Guillory) with another man and meets and falls in love with Aurelia (Lucia Moniz), the Portuguese housekeeper; Billy Mack (Bill Nighy) is an aging rock star who wants to record something new and doesn’t want to compromise his work.

The characters are falling in love, falling out of love, some are with the right people, some are with the wrong people, some are looking to have an affair, some are in the period of mourning; a capsule summary of reality. At all ages and social levels, love is the theme.

The Legend of Bagger Vance is the story of Hardy Greaves (Jack Lemmon), an old man having his sixth heart attack while playing golf contemplates how his wife used to ask him why he insisted on playing “a game that seems destined to kill” him. Explaining his love for the game, he begins the story of his childhood idol, Captain Rannulph Junuh (Matt Damon).

During the Great Depression, Georgia socialite Adele Invergordon (Charlize Theron) announces a publicity-garnering high-stakes match play exhibition at her struggling family golf course, featuring the greatest golfers of the era including Walter Hagen (Bruce McGill) and Bobby Jones (Joel Gretsch). The townspeople insist on having “one of their own” compete for the grand prize of $10,000 and nominate Rannulph Junuh to represent Savanah. Junuh was one of the best golfers in Savanah but his career and life were derailed by World War I.

Junuh has not touched a club in years and as he dusts off the old sticks he discovers his game is weak and that he lost touch with his swing. As he hits balls into the dark night, seemingly out of nowhere a man walks into his life and changes it forever. The man introduces himself as Bagger Vance (Will Smith) and asks Junuh if he might have something warm to eat and a place to rest his feet. Bagger asks why he is hitting balls so late and Junuh tells him he was asked to play but has lost his ability. Bagger insists he just need to find his swing and offers to Caddy for him and help him regain his “authentic swing“. Junuh agrees to play in the big match and finds his swing and regains his life.

Don’t you find that? And, um, so we spent the whole night and the next day together, and I just never left. Yes, to be honest, all the problems were there in the beginning too. But I just went along with him and his life because it felt so damn good to feel myself alive.” – Nicole

“I cried four times.” – Henry Barber
“Me too. I wonder if it was the same four.” – Charlie

Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise) is a very successful high profile sports agent who has it all, the biggest clients, the respect of his peers and a beautiful fiance. However, something is missing. Jerry experiences a crisis of conscience and questions his purpose. Coming to terms with what’s wrong with his career, he stays up all night writing down his thoughts and ideas and ends up composing a heartfelt company-wide memo which he refers to as his mission statement. Caught up in the moment, he goes to a Kinkos and makes copies which get distributed company-wide for everyone in his firm. Unfortunately his opinions are not met with the same enthusiasm from his superiors and it gets him fired from the largest sports agency in the United States.

He rushes back to his office and desperate to hang on to the athletes that he represents, Jerry starts calling all of his contacts. Meanwhile, his firm had prepared for this and had every agent start calling Jerry’s clients telling them that he had a breakdown and they would be taking over for him. After a mad flurry, Jerry was able to convince two of his clients to stay with him. Jerry then proceeds to gather his belongings and make his way and stops to ask if anyone at his firm would go with him to start his own sports agency.

The only person from his former firm that would join him when he was fired was Dorothy Boyd (Renee Zellweger), an idealistic single mom who sees potential in Jerry. Banking on their sole existing client, volatile Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rod Tidwell (Cuba Gooding Jr.), Jerry sets out with the impossible task of rebuilding what he once had while starting to fall in love as they struggle to make their business work. Can Jerry resurrect his career while staying true to himself?

But it wasn’t complete, it wasn’t nearly close to being in the same vicinity as complete, because I couldn’t share it with you. I couldn’t hear your voice, or laugh about it with you. I missed my wife. We live in a cynical world, and we work in a business of tough competitors, I love you. You complete me. And I just…” – Jerry Maguire

“Look, talent comes everywhere, but having something to say and a way to say it so that people listen to it, that’s a whole other bag. And unless you get out and you try to do it, you’ll never know. that’s just the truth. And there’s one reason we’re supposed to be here is to say something so people want to hear. So you got to grab it, and you don’t apologize, and you don’t worry about why they’re listening, or how long they’re going to be listening for, you just tell them what you want to say. Don’t you understand what I’m trying to tell you?” – Jackson

“I’m off the deep end. Watch as I dive in. I never meet the ground. Crash through the surface, where they can’t hurt us. We’re far from the shallow now.” – Ally

Almost Famous is a coming of age story of 15-year old William Miller (Patrick Fugit) who writes for the school paper and is a huge music fan.  William is inspired by the seminal bands of the time and gets one of his articles published in Cream Magazine.

Meanwhile, Ben Fong-Torres (Terry Chen), the editor of Rolling Stone magazine contacts William to give him an assignment to interview the up and coming band Stillwater for the magazine. William embarks on an eye-opening journey with the band and travels with them to secure interviews with Stillwater’s lead guitar player, Russell Hammond (Billy Crudup) and lead singer Jeff Bebe (Jason Lee).

Russell takes a liking to young William and his new acquaintance, and invites William and veteran groupie Penny Lane (Kate Hudson), on the road with them so William can finish his interview.

Movie Quotes

“Music, you know, true music – not just rock n roll – it chooses you. It lives in your car, or alone listening to your headphones, you know, with the cast scenic bridges and angelic choirs in your brain. It’s a place apart from the vast, benign lap of America.” – Lester Bangs 
“I didn’t invent the rainy day, man, I just own the best umbrella.” – Dennis Hope

“I have to go home.” – William Miller
“You are home.” – Penny Lane

“So, you’re talking to Ben Fong-Torres, right? Here’s what you do. Tell him it’s a think piece about a mid level band struggling with their own limitations in the harsh face of stardom. [Chuckles] He’ll wet himself.” – Lester Bangs
