Laura Linney stars in her Golden Globe-winning role as Cathy Jamison, a 42-year-old schoolteacher who has always played by the rules. That is, until she receives a life-changing diagnosis. But instead of giving up, Cathy decides to live it up! Nothing and no one is safe, including her self-absorbed family, her cantankerous neighbor, and her smart-ass students. Oliver Platt and Gabourey Sidibe shine in this talented ensemble. Brutally honest, unapologetically funny and perfectly profound, The Big C is a surprisingly different comedy that reminds us that life is always worth living on our own terms.
Bittersweet ensemble comedy drama written and directed by Nicole Holofcener. Rebecca Hall stars as Rebecca, a lonely Manhattan radiologist who spends her days X-raying women's breasts. Along with her sister Mary (Amanda Peet), she comes into conflict with Kate and Alex (Catherine Keener and Oliver Platt), the acquistive estate agent neighbours of their cranky grandmother Andra (Ann Guilbert), who are biding their time and waiting for Andra to die so that they can go ahead with their plans to expand their apartment.
Based on Peter Morgan's stage play, Ron Howard directs this dramatised account of the 1977 TV interviews between scandalised former President Richard Nixon and British talk-show host David Frost. Three years after the Watergate scandal that led to his demise, former president Richard Nixon (Frank Langella) sat down with Frost (Michael Sheen) to discuss, for the first and only time, the details of his term in the White House and his spectacular fall from grace. With the famously steely Nixon confident that he could come out tops in the encounter, and Frost's side questioning whether this was a step too far, media commentators prepared themselves for a PR exercise. But when the interviews got underway, observers were astonished when both men abandoned their usual stances, and chose to conduct an open, honest and frank exchange of views, covering all the areas of concern that had previously remained off-limits. In addition to covering the interviews themselves, the film also traces the difficulties that had to be overcome, and egos that had to massaged, before the historic events could finally take place.

They find their mettle put to the test when the influential Cardinal Richelieu (Tim Curry) hatches a plot against them.

But when they finally encounter their prey, it seems determined to give them a run for their money.
