Thomas Hildreth Movies
A man tries to rebuild his life and reconnect with his family after a stretch in prison in this independent drama. Eben Cole (Thomas Hildreth) is a lobster fisherman who lives and works on a small island off the coast of Maine. Eben takes pride in his work and works hard to provide for his wife, Cheryl (Amy Jo Johnson), and daughter, Sara (Mackenzie Young). However, Eben also has a temper, and when a pair of commercial fishermen from the mainland try to take over one of his fishing spots, the argument escalates into violence. Eben's attack on the fishermen earns him five years behind bars, and his father (Larry Pine) tells him he'll no longer have anything to do with him. After serving his time, Eben is released from jail only to find that many of his worst fears have been confirmed: Cheryl refuses to see him anymore, she's moved in with Jimmy (Mark Kiely), another local lobster trapper, and she won't allow Eben to visit with Sara (now played by Emma Ford). Regarded as a black sheep by the local fisherman, Eben takes a job at a scrap yard to keep body and soul together, but it's not until Popper (Philip Baker Hall), a veteran fisherman, befriends him that he begins to regain his self-respect and show the world he's changed. Islander was screened at the 2006 Los Angeles Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Ramon has been blown to bits, Amador (Greg Ellis) has escaped, and Nina (Sarah Clarke) is running around in the woods, with Jack (Kiefer Sutherland) and Chase (James Badge Dale) in pursuit. They eventually find her, and Jack decides to bring her back to CTU. On the plane, they demand information from her. She eventually gives them the name of one of Amador's contacts, Alvers (Lothaire Bluteau), and a suspiciously complicated phone number. Sure enough, when Jack dials the number, Nina tells him that he's triggered a worm in CTU's computer system, and that in 30 minutes, terrorists will have access to their network. She says she'll deactivate it if their plane turns around and heads back to Mexico, but Jack refuses to give in to her demand, counting on Chloe (Mary Lynn Rajskub) and the crew at CTU to fix the problem. Chloe also has to deal with being interrogated about the baby. Faced with being turned over to the police, she tells Chappelle (Paul Schulze) who the father is. Meanwhile, in spite of Palmer's (Dennis Haysbert) pleas, Sherry (Penny Johnson Jerald) goes to visit Julia (Gina Torres) in the dead of night, to convince her to help her prove that Alan (Albert Hall) was responsible for Kevin Kelly's disappearance. While they plot, Alan wakes up and surprises them. He gets into an angry verbal confrontation with Sherry that turns deadly. ~ Josh Ralske, All Movie Guide
