In the 2006 film, he stars as Harold Crick, a man who lives a mundane life as an IRS worker until he begins hearing an omniscient voice (Emma Thompson) narrating his life as if it were a novel. When the voice implies that Harold will soon die, he frantically tries to stop his own death, finding a new sense of meaning to life in the process.</p>

During the two-day festivities between the rehearsal and ceremony days, Connor finds himself haunted by ghosts of his previous girlfriends, allowing himself to reflect on his serial womanizer habits.

Superman Returns

With Kate Bosworth as Lois Lane and Kevin Spacey as Lex Luther, <em>Superman Returns </em>packs a stacked cast in this thoroughly enjoyable adaptation of the famed comic book series.</p>

Walt is recently widowed and disgruntled at the world; to make matters worse, he finds that his teenage neighbor, Thao, has attempted to steal his prized possession—a 1972 Ford Gran Torino—for a gang initiation. Walt subsequently begins developing a relationship with Thao and his family, making <em>Gran Torino </em>a touching story about post-Vietnam America. It also marked the first mainstream film in the U.S. to prominently feature the Hmong people; the film was generally well-received by Hmong communities and the film's Hmong stars. </p>
