Send Help answers the long-simmering question of what would happen if director Sam Raimi—the mastermind behind The Evil Dead and Spider-Man—were to direct a big-screen reimagining of Gilligan's Island. Okay, that's not quite true, but you get ...

Serendipity is a romantic comedy from British director Peter Chelsom (Hear My Song, The Mighty) that pairs quirky, likable John Cusack with rising star Kate Beckinsale. All of the usual adjectives apply: sweet, cute, delightful, romantic, etc. Alas...
