A beautiful story about love, loss and a journey for forgiveness, Atonement is perhaps one of the finest depictions of the strength of the human heart. Set in
the mid 1930's and spanning to the early 1940's the film fully embraces the decadent air with costume designs, sets, locations, and overall beautiful cinematography.

"Rocket Science", released in August of 2007, has been available on DVD since January 28, 2008. Many actors that star in this dramatic comedy are from the small screen, such as Reece Thompson, who plays the main character, and his eventual accomplice, Nicholas D’Agosto.

The film begins with the downfall of D’Agosto’s character, Ben Wekselbaum, and the ending of the relationship between Hal Hefner’s (Thompson) parents. A symbolism is noted as both Ben and Hal, who don't know each other, are silenced at the same time; Ben at a Forensics tournament, with his almost winning speech, and Hal with his family problems.
