Perfect Strangers
In Los Angeles County, a disparate group of twelve - eight men and four women - are chosen to serve on the jury of the trial of Ernest Craig, who is accused of murdering his wife in being in love with another woman, Eileen Marcher, loving Marcher which Craig has readily admitted, but killing his wife of which he has professed his innocence. Each of the twelve feels differently about being a juror - some who are happy to serve, some who don't want to be there - about his or her underlying motivations in being among this specific jury, and admittedly about having a preconceived belief into Craig's guilt or innocence in this high profile case. Who may have the most open mind is Terry Scott, as she is separated from her husband who lives in Cleveland, and thus can understand the different feelings of someone in an unhappy marriage. The interaction between the twelve becomes even more intimate in almost every respect when the jury is ordered sequestered for the duration of the trial. While Bob Fisher is the juror who makes it obvious that he would like to get to know Terry in the biblical sense, it is David Campbell with whom she makes the most profound connection. David, also in an unhappy marriage, and Terry end up falling in love in their short time together. Their somewhat secret relationship has an effect on the way they view the evidence and, thus, the way they argue their perspective to the other ten, but discovery of there even being a relationship may result in misconduct and a mistrial if construed as more than it actually has been.

The Devil Wears Prada
After graduating from college, Andrea "Andy" Sachs (Anne Hathaway) lands the dream job that "a million girls would kill for": assistant to Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) - the chief editor of Runway, the top-selling fashion magazine in the industry. It is a job set to fast track her career in journalism if she can survive a year working for Miranda. From here, Andy, with no sense of fashion at all, begins a fish-out-of-water drama as she is thrown into a lifestyle full of the fast-paced, three-inch-minimum heel height, diet Coke and coffee substance abuse. Andy works really hard to deal with Miranda's endless unimaginable demands. She even becomes trendy and classy. However, she gradually finds she is working 24/7, and soon her life with boyfriend, Nate (Adrian Grenier), and best friend, Lily (Tracie Thoms), is slipping away from her. Then, she realizes that she is losing what really matters. She does not want to lose herself no matter how many pairs of Monolos and Jimmy Choos she can score along the way.
