A man who is basically straight except for affairs with his lifelong gay friend, the gay friend, and a divorcee who desperately wants to get pregnant are the central characters in this 2004 drama by Pulitzer Prize winning author Michael Cunningham.
The film follows the two men growing up. Bobby loses first his brother, then his mother, and finally his father. He is taken in by the family of Jonathan, who is gay. The friendship grows and sexual experimentation follows. When Jonathan moves to New York in the early 80's, Bobby stays with his adopted family.
Bobby finally joins his best friend in New York, where Jonathan's roommate, Clare, who already loves Jonathan as a friend, is strongly attracted to Bobby and driven by a strong desire to have a child.
Unfortunately, this sounds a lot better than it was. There are great character studies in this movie, and terrific acting. Now in HD!

After settling into a retirement village with her older husband, Pippa Lee is having a crisis. It seems that she is sleepwalking, but she does not know why. Meanwhile, her husband is having an affair with her friend and she is starting to take an interest in the recently separated man from across the way.
Also, we go back to Pippa's youth and find out how she becomes the woman she is today, including meeting her husband and her troublesome relationship with her manic depressive mother.
With an all star cast including Robin Wright Penn, Alan Arkin, Blake Lively, Keanu Reeves, Julianne Moore, Maria Bello, Monica Bellucci and Winona Ryder, this is a pretty good look at a very enigmatic woman. Now in HD from Bluray!

Harried film producer Ben (Robert De Niro) juggles a lunatic director, a temperamental actor (Bruce Willis) and an out-of-control production while courting a studio head (Catherine Keener) and dealing with his ex-wife (Robin Wright Penn) in Barry Levinson's funny and poignant exploration of the movie business. The all-star comedy is based on the sharply observed novel by veteran Hollywood producer Art Linson. Also starring Moon Bloodgood and Kristen Stewart. Now in HD!
