						The Haunted Mansion
Gabbie (Rosario Dawson), a single mother, and her young son Travis 
recently purchased a New Orleans estate at auction only to discover it isn't 
quite as empty as they expected. Gabbie hires a grieving widower, who works as a 
ghost tour guide, a psychic, a priest, and a local historian to exorcise the 
vengeful spirit from the Haunted Mansion. A wonderful cast brings some real star 
power to this Disney remake.

						Full Circle (Max)
						An investigation into a botched kidnapping uncovers long 
						held secrets connecting multiple characters and cultures 
						in present day New York City. Leave it to Soderbergh 
						to upset the fantasy (and fantastical) offerings by the 
						major studios. Like a good book you just can't put down, 
						the complications the plotting offers are thrilling. The 
						complexity of the story is a delight and offered with a 
						wry humor. The cast (which couldn't have possibly known 
						where all this was headed) keeps you involved.
