Coal Miner's Daughter (1980)
Moving musical biopic about Loretta Lynn, a poor-born Tennessee girl who married at 13, had seven children and became America's number one female country and western star. Sissy deservedly scooped the year's Best Actress Oscar from under the noses of more fancied nominees. Other Oscar nominations went to the film itself, Tom Rickman for his screenplay, cinematographer Ralf D Bode and to the editor and art directors. The direction of Britain's Michael Apted is exemplary in its feel for time and place, and Tommy Lee Jones provides fine support as Lynn's unfeeling husband, the driving force behind her fortunes. If the film glosses over some of the less savoury aspects of the true story - drugs, nervous breakdowns etc - the treatment is in keeping with Spacek's wholesome portrait of the singing mum.
Taken from Me: The Tiffany Rubin Story
“Taken From Me: The Tiffany Rubin Story” is based on a dramatic true story of Tiffany Rubin’s (Taraji P. Henson) daring 2008 rescue of her seven-year-old son, Kobe, after he was abducted by his biological father and taken from his home in Queens, New York, all the way to Seoul, South Korea. At the urging of her mother Belzora (Beverly Todd), Tiffany sought the counsel of Mark Miller (Terry O’Quinn) and his charitable organization, The American Association for Lost Children. With Mark’s help, Tiffany was able to travel to Korea to execute a high-stakes plan to bring her son home.
The Joneses
A picture-perfect family moves into an upscale community, impressing the locals and integrating themselves into every aspect of the community until a sudden tragedy forces them to reassess their priorities. Steve (David Duchovny) and Kate Jones (Demi Moore) have everything a happily married couple could ever want: their kids, Jenn (Amber Heard) and Mick (Ben Hollingsworth), are intelligent and attractive, they live in an affluent neighborhood, and their sprawling suburban home is jam-packed with all of the coolest gizmos and gadgets that money can buy. It isn't long before the Joneses have struck up a friendship with their next-door neighbors Larry (Gary Cole) and Summer (Glenne Headly), and become integral components of their community. But take a closer look at the situation and you'll start to see something ominous lurking just beneath the surface. It's only when the Joneses are confronted with an unexpected disaster that they finally discover who they really are beneath the glossy veneer of consumerism.
