A pair of professional slackers are confronted by their guardian angels in actor Andrew Rajan's directorial debut, Offending Angels. Forsaking his career in the hustle and bustle of London for a life of leisure, irresponsibility, and the occasional sexual conquest, Baggy's (Rajan) substantial immaturity is dwarfed by that of roommate Sam (Andrew Lincoln), a former department-store security guard who recently lost his job after Baggy used the store to embark on an affair with a married woman. With dashed dreams and commitment issues to spare, the duo is soon confronted by guardian angels Zeke (Shaun Parkes) and Paris (Susannah Harker), formerly a squirrel and a dolphin, respectively. Will Sam and Baggy be able to pull themselves together in time to realize their dreams and pull themselves out of a life of comfortable laziness, or are they destined to spend the rest of their lives in a slacker coma? ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Based on a novel by Edith Wharton, The Buccaneers follows four wealthy young women -- Nan (Carla Gugino), Virginia St. George (Alison Eliott), Conchita Closson (Mira Sorvino), and Lizzy Elmsworth (Rya Kihlstedt) -- throughout their eventful journey from America to London. Though they set off intending to hunt down potential husbands for themselves, what they find has less to do with love and more to do with the repressive nature of turn-of-the-century English society. Shunned as "new money" by London's elite and courted by a slew of noblemen lacking any code of personal honor, the quartet is forced to examine society's focus on social status and personal wealth. Directed by Philip Saville, this film also features Mark Tandy and Greg Wise. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi
