The budding romance between a rising U.S. congressman and a gifted ballet dancer is unexpectedly complicated by otherworldly forces seeking to drive them apart by altering the very fabric of reality in this high-concept sci-fi thriller based on a story by famed author Philip K. Dick. David Norris (Matt Damon) is a rising New York congressmen whose everyman charisma has earned him a loyal following among locals. One night, after suffering a crushing political defeat, David is rehearsing his concession speech in a hotel bathroom when out of a stall wanders Elise (Emily Blunt), who was hiding out from security guards after crashing a wedding. The chemistry between David and Elise is instant and electric. But as fast as she appeared, Elise has vanished, leaving David to wonder if he will ever see her again. A few days later, as if by chance, David is boarding a bus for work when he spots Elise in a window seat. Though he manages to get her number this time, David is terrified when he arrives at his new job and discovers a mysterious group of men performing an unusual procedure on his paralyzed co-workers. Informed by the imposing and sharp-dressed Richardson (John Slattery) that he has just seen behind a curtain that few will ever know even exists, David agrees never to tell anyone of their encounter or talk to Elise again lest his entire memory be completely erased. But three years later, when David spots Elise walking down the street from the window of a city bus, he can't resist the urge to rekindle their romance. Unfortunately for the two young lovers, the mysterious agents at the Adjustment Bureau are determined to keep them apart at all costs in order to ensure there is no deviation from the master plan drawn up by "The Chairman" for the future of all humankind. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Created by the same team responsible for Will & Grace, the NBC sitcom Four Kings was set in New York, the home of a quartet of lifelong male friends: doofus Barry (Seth Green), irritatingly lucky Ben (Josh Cooke), rising young executive Jason (Todd Grinnell), and air-headed stoner Bobby (Shane McRae). After he inherited a large and luxurious apartment from his late grandmother, Ben intends to use his new digs as a home for himself and his current girlfriend. But when she turns out to be selfish and shallow, Ben invites his three pals to move in with him instead. "Bros Before Hos!" was the rallying cry for the "Four Kings," though their male bonding did not prevent them from squiring lovely ladies whenever the opportunity arose. Scheduled as a lead-in for NBC's Thursday-night hit My Name Is Earl, Four Kings debuted January 5, 2006. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
