"While You Were Sleeping" is a fun holiday (Christmas) movie that exists in a universe where sleep is the preferred medical term for coma. Sandra Bullock stars as Chicago's top token taker who rescues Peter Gallagher after he plummeted 3ft, max, and settled into a long Christmas sleep. Important to note that if this film was recut with different music, it would be a psychological thriller. Even more importantly this is a story desperately craving for a stage adaptation.

"Nights in Rodanthe" and/or "On the Front Lines" is a movie where Diane Lane has to put her life on the line to look after Viola Davis' beachfront inn during a hurricane. Richard Gere is also there auditioning for "Beauty and the Beast" while Diane runs around closing shutter after shutter. The only thing missing was Tabatha Coffey to take the keys and take over. Think of this as "Under the Tuscan Sun" part due.

"Hope Floats" is a movie about radical honesty and taxidermy. Sandra Bullock stars as a down on her luck beauty queen who just needs a long weekend at the spa. Instead, the ambiguous Texas town of her ancestors refuses to take their collective foot off her neck and let her relax for one minute. Sandra Bullock and Gena Rowlands both deserve Academy Awards. In current events, Shanelle reminds everyone that she lives in Los Angeles.
