Inspired by actual events, director Michael K. Goi's harrowing cautionary drama tells the story of two typical teenage girls who vanished without a trace after being accosted by an internet predator. 14 year old Megan Stewart and 13 year old Amy Herman were best friends. Like most typical adolescents, they enjoyed chatting on the internet, and partying with their friends. Then on January 14, 2007, the unthinkable happened. Megan simply disappeared into thin air. Her friends and family searched frantically, but to no avail. Three weeks later, Amy, too, went missing. To this day, neither of the girls has ever been found. The feature offers a disturbing glimpse into the events as they may have unfolded in the days leading up to Megan and Amy's disappearances.

Curtis Hanson's adaptation of Jennifer Weiner's novel In Her Shoes stars Toni Collette and Cameron Diaz as a pair of very close but very different sisters. Free-wheeling irresponsible Maggie Feller (Diaz) gets through her life thanks to her remarkable looks and her lack of scruples. She constantly goes to her straight-laced, plain-Jane successful lawyer sister Rose (Collette) for financial help. The two sisters have been very close to each other in part because their troubled mother died when they were girls. Right about the same time that Maggie discovers hidden letters that reveal she and Rose have a grandmother, Maggie does something to betray Rose's trust. Maggie sets off for Florida to find the grandmother. A failed workplace romance forces Rose to rethink her career, a career that has been the center of her life. As Rose tentatively begins a new relationship and Maggie gets to know her grandmother (played by Shirley MacLaine), the two learn a dark family secret that helps smooth the path toward reconciliation. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi
