Freshman Jamie Bartlett is frustrated with high-school life. She wonders what it would be like to be popular--might Marco the hunk notice her? would snooty Sawyer remember her name? To escape the pressures of school, Jamie retreats to her journal to weave a tale about teen heroine Isabella ("Is"), who's beautiful, self-assured, and popular, and can effortlessly zap any pesky person out of her way. When she accidentally turns in her journal as a homework project, Jamie wins a writing contest and finds her books on shelves nationwide. Suddenly she's caught up in the whirlwind of photo shoots and guest appearances and starts to lose touch with her friends and herself. Meanwhile, Is becomes a real presence for Jamie, though no one else can see her. As Jamie's stardom grows, her literary alter-ego pops in and out of her life to influence her every move. Jamie eventually becomes disenchanted with her new life and must ultimately decide whether popularity is worth sacrificing self-respect and true friendship.

Hercules

1 hr 38 mins
1400 B.C., a tormented soul walked the Earth that was neither man nor god. Hercules (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson) was the powerful son of the god King Zeus. For this, he received nothing but suffering his entire life. After twelve arduous labors, and the death of his family, this dark, world-weary soul turned his back on the gods finding his only solace in bloody battle. Over the years, he warmed to the company of six similar souls, their only bond being their love of fighting, and the presence of death. These men and women never question where they go to fight, or why, or whom, just how much they will be paid. Now, the King of Thrace, Lord Cotys (Sir John Hurt) has hired these mercenaries to train his men to become the greatest army of all time. It is time for this bunch of lost souls to finally have their eyes opened to how far they have fallen, when they must train an army to become as ruthless and bloodthirsty as their reputation has become.
