First viewings:

Witness Protection (1999-HBO) Tom Sizemore, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Forrest Whitaker. Interesting story of the people who go into witness protection and how the Marshalls put them in training. You feel sorry for the children and wife who thought they were just normal people, but who find out their lifestyle was made through keeping crooked books for mobsters. 7/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0191655/

Try To Remember (2004/TV) Gabrielle Anwar, Max Martini. Ten years after a murder case in a small town was successfully tried, the witnesses start dying off and Lisa Monroe, friend of the victim, is recruited back to work as a detective for the police. Jake, the man convicted, is being paroled and has returned to town. As she gets deeper into the case and trying to be objective, doubts and guilt make her vulnerable. Nicely done little story. 6/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0393902/

Chaos (2005) Jason Statham, Ryan Phillippe, Wesley Snipes, Justine Waddell. Cops, robbers, double crosses, assorted mayhem. Hard to keep track of who was good and who was the villain. 6/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0402910/

The Last Mistress (2007/France) Asia Argento, Fu'ad Ait Aattou. A young aristocrat, his mistress of 10 years, and his chaste fiance', who he is to marry soon. Much sex and nudity and acting passionate. Rather a bore after a while. 5/10 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0437526/
