A child with magical powers takes on mean-spirited grown ups in this family-friendly fantasy from the Netherlands. Quark (Porgy Franssen) is a wizard who happens upon some unusual eggs while taking a walk through the Witches' Woods. To Quark's surprise, when the egg hatches, what emerges isn't a bird but a little girl; naming her Fuchsia (Rachelle Verdel), Quark raises the child as his own, and he's pleased when she shows an impressive aptitude for magic. Quark arranges for Fuchsia to attend a school for witches run by Miss Minuul (Annet Malherbe), a witch who has long been infatuated with Quark. Fuchsia has a mischievous spirit and her tricks sometimes go wrong, but when she learns that a powerful businessman plans to buy the Witches' Woods and clear out the trees, she teams up with Tommy (Lorenso van Sligtenhorst), a mortal boy who is also the nephew of the conniving tycoon, to foil his scheme. Foeksia de Miniheks (aka Fuchsia, The Mini-Witch) was an official selection at the 2011 London BFI Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A compulsive liar goes to work for a shady business that creates airtight alibis designed to acquiesce meddlesome wives, girlfriends, bosses, mothers-in-law, only to discover that there is no room for deception when it comes to true love. Youssef is a street-smart sort who tells lies like most men talk sports. One day, Youssef crosses paths with Rick - a crafty entrepreneur who peddles lies for cash. Rick runs a business that men can go to when they want to ensure that no one will ever discover their deepest secrets, and Youssef may just be the ideal employee for such an organization. Before long, Rick is spinning yarns with the best of them. But what's a man to do after falling for a pretty waitress who claims that genuine love thrives on truth? There was a time when Andrea deceived herself in order to make the truth seem less painful, but now those days have passed and she's committed to keeping it real. Though Rick ensures Youssef that little white lies are the foundation for any healthy relationship, the lovelorn man who was always averse to the truth suddenly realizes that he will have to choose between the world as he sees it, and reality as it truly exists. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
