A couple struggling with the aftermath of a horrific crime must deal with their own troubles as well as the grief of others in this independent drama. Bill (Michael Sheen) and Kate (Maria Bello) are a married couple who are tightly wound and devoted to their work -- Bill is a businessman, Kate proofreads books. Bill and Kate's marriage has taken a turn for the worse, and they're on the verge of breaking up when they receive shocking news -- their 18-year-old son, Sam (Kyle Gallner), a college freshman, went on a shooting spree that claimed the lives of several people before he turned his gun on himself. As the news media descends on the couple, Bill and Kate are unable to understand why Sam would do such a thing, and as they struggle to find answers, they turn to family -- Kate's brother, Eric (Alan Tudyk), and his wife, Trish (Moon Bloodgood) -- without being able to resolve the issues that were driving them apart before tragedy struck. Beautiful Boy was the first feature film from director Shawn Ku; it was an official selection at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

On this half-hour cable series, a group of top interior decorators undertook the task to "Refocus, Reorganize and Redesign" family homes where previous "makeover" efforts had met with disaster. In each episode, the professionals descended upon a room which had started with a theme in mind -- "Hawaiian," "Moroccan," "Safari Den," etc. -- but which had become a jumbled mess somewhere along the way. Keeping within a budget of 2,000 dollars, designers Kelli Ellis, Frank Fontana, and Valerie Bickford performed the requisite makeover miracles, the result being "theme" rooms that not only lived up to the expectations of the homeowners, but actually surpassed them. Kelli Kirkland Powers was host of Takeover My Makeover, which made its HGTV network bow on May 6, 2006. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
