Luckily for them they find a motel and settle down to watch some TV. Concern rises when they realise the 'snuff' movies the motel thoughtfully supply for their guests seem vaguely familiar.

Six comedies starring Will Ferrell.

Anchorman (2004)
Ferrell stars as Ron Burgundy, a top-rated 1970s San Diego anchorman who believes women have a place in the newsroom - so long as they stick to covering fashion shows or late-breaking cooking news, that is. So when Ron is told he'll be working with a bright young newswoman, Veronica Corningstone, who's beautiful, ambitious, and intelligent enough to be more than eye candy, it's not just a clash of two TV people with really great hair: it's war.

Anchorman: Wake Up Ron Burgundy (2004)
An 'alternate film' companion to Anchorman, Wake-Up Ron Burgundy is compiled from hours of extra footage, dropped sub-plots and alternate takes from the original film and finds Channel 4's lead anchor and man about town, Ron Burgundy, chasing a scoop against rival and lover Veronica Corningstone.

The first three films in the Jackass franchise, in which Johnny Knoxville and friends perform a variety of crazy and dangerous stunts.

'Jackass: The Movie' (2002) sees the boys having fun and games with golf carts, urine soaked snow cones and self-inflicted paper cuts. Series regulars Bam Margera, Steve-O, Dave England, Chris Pontius (alias Party Boy) and Jason Acuna (alias Wee Man) all make an appearance.

The original MTV wreckin' crew returns in 'Jackass: Number 2 Uncut' (2006), pushing the limit of what is morally acceptable to commit to celluloid even further. More cringe-worthy stunts, more nasty spills, more stupid pranks than even the first movie. As well as their native US the crew also takes the camera to Australia, India and Moscow in its search for new ways to gross out an audience. In this compendium of the cruel: Chris Pontius makes his private member into a puppet - painting a mouse-face on it. It is then dragged around in a snake's cage until the snake strikes at it and doesn't let go; a fake valentine card is hung on the wall of cast members' hotel rooms and a hidden camera installed to watch the action. Why? Because behind the paper is a pneumatic arm with a huge boxing glove; special guest Spike Jonze is dressed up as an elderly woman named Gloria who goes around L.A. talking to salesmen. After the two parties have conversed, the old lady's shirt drops, revealing fake, drooping breasts; the team baits a hook with Steve-O (hook actually through his cheek) and throws him into the water - crowded with Mako sharks; Johnny Knoxville is blindfolded and charged by an angry Yak. Everything as normal for the Jackass crew, then.

'Jackass 3' (2010) sees another onslaught of insane and painful pranks. Bull riding, a paintball shootout, rocket jet-skiing and bungee jumping while strapped to a (full) toilet are just some of the pranks the boys get up to this time round, as well as 'the worst wake-up in the world', in which Bam Margera wakes up his sleeping friend in the most brutal and disgusting ways he can dream up.

Comedy drama written and directed by Helen Hunt. Jackie (Hunt)'s whole life revolves around her son Angelo (Brenton Thwaites), so when she discovers he has dropped out of college and moved in with his father in order to pursue his dream of surfing, she travels from New York to California to try to convince him to rethink his choices. After a heated exchange between mother and son, Jackie decides that the only way to understand Angelo's reasons for picking surfing over college is to take up the sport herself. Stubborn by nature, Jackie is determined to master the craft by herself, blankly refusing help offered from passers-by, until, that is, she is rescued by handsome surfer Ian (Luke Wilson) who takes it upon himself to give her a few lessons, in life as well as surfing.

However, with Royal's history of lies and betrayal, his offspring - who all now have problems of their own - are going to have trouble welcoming him back.

Early modern Britain witnessed a transformation in legal reasoning about human volition and intentional action, which contributed to new conventions and techniques for the theatrical representation of premeditated conduct. "Theaters of Intention" examines the relation between law and theater in this period, reading plays by Shakespeare, Jonson, Marlowe, and others to demonstrate how legal understanding of willful human action pervades sixteenth- and seventeenth-century English drama.
Drawing on case law, legal treatises, parliamentary journals, and theatrical account books, the author considers the interplay between theatrical deliberation and legal dramatization of human intention. He analyzes such canonical plays as "Hamlet," "Timon of Athens," "Dr. Faustus," "Bartholomew Fair," and "Othello" alongside less familiar texts, including Barnes's "The Devil's Charter," Jonson's "Entertainment at Althorp," and the anonymous "Nobody and Somebody."
Notable instances of the new theatrical representation of premeditated conduct include the appearance in "Hamlet" of wording from the sensational case of "Hales versus Petit" and dramatizations of contract law in enactments of demonic pacts in the plays of Marlowe and Barnes. The final chapter examines the iconography of Nobody, an early modern equivalent of John Doe, and features some dozen illustrations of contemporary woodcuts, drawings, and engravings.
Tied closely to the convergence of authorial and dramatic forethought, theatrical representation of premeditated action demonstrates the close relationships among purposeful human behavior, fictionality, economic exchange, and the experience of time.
