Based on author Helen Fielding's sequel to Bridget Jones's Diary, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason picks up four weeks after the original film left off, with Bridget (Renée Zellweger) emotionally satisfied at long last with Mark Darcy (Colin Firth), her barrister boyfriend. Stability in Bridget's life, however, quickly becomes a contradiction in terms. Though Mark is openly supportive of Bridget's eccentricities -- and there are many -- she is nonetheless threatened by Mark's young, nubile intern, not to mention irked at finding out that he is, among other less desirable qualities in her eyes, a conservative voter. Complicating issues further is the reentrance of her ex-lover, Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant), whom Jones, perhaps mistakenly, thought she had finally gotten over. Before long, the situation escalates into another series of embarrassing circumstances for Bridget, who is faced once again with a crippling feeling of self-doubt and has only her diary and friends to combat it. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi

A young detective (Anthony Biggs) battles the demons of his past while chasing a serial killer through London in Jamie Rafn's Soho Square. As the detective and his partner (William Wilde) attempt to track down a psychopath who is murdering women and setting them on fire (not necessarily in that order), we learn through flashbacks that the detective is also dealing with a recent trauma involving his wife (Amanda Haberland). He finds himself fascinated by a local barmaid (Lucy Davenport) who resembles her. Meanwhile, a single mother (Emma Poole) who lives in his building and her precocious little girl, Claudia (Sasha Lowenthal), develop their own interest in the lonely, haunted detective. As the police close in on the killer, and the film jumps back and forth chronologically, it becomes clear that there is an even deeper and more disturbing mystery in play. Rafn wrote, directed, and co-edited Soho Square, his feature debut. It was reportedly produced for about 7,000 dollars, and had its U.S. premiere on the Sundance Channel in 2003. ~ Josh Ralske, Rovi
