You're innocent until proven otherwise. In some cases, proving another's innocence can be an inspiring life-long crusade. This is how real-life prisoners' rights advocate and lawyer, Betty Anne Waters inspired the Conviction movie.

Her brother, Kenneth Waters (Sam Rockwell) was wrongfully convicted for a murder in 1983. She struggled through law school and years of practice before she succeeded in his exoneration in 2001. The Conviction movie is set for a release in the U.S. on October 15, 2010.

Finally a movie about the social network site Facebook and how it all began. Director David Finch tells the story of Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) and how his small experiment to create a social network for Harvard students turned into the social network of all times.

Also starring in The Social Network Movie is Andrew Garfield as Eduardo Saverin, co-founder and Justin Timberlake as Sean Parker, President of Facebook.

Well before he died May 2, 1972 there were rumors floating around in high places speculating on the fact that Hoover was a closet homosexual as well as a cross dresser in private. Those facts may not show up much in this version of his life because director Cling Eastwood chose not to "quite go down that road". And perhaps he is correct because that would not have much of an impact on what the man did during his long tenure as director of the FBI. From March 22, 1935 when the Federal Bureau of Investigation came into being until the day he died in 1972 J. Edgar Hoover formed then ran that high powered agency with an iron fist. It was suggested he abused his powers by ostracizing certain individuals, even to the point of ruining their lives on a whim. However he had good reason in some cases to black list those who had committed crimes.tarring Leonardo DiCaprio (Titanic, This Boy's Life) as Hoover, Armie Hammer (The Social Network) as Clyde Tolson who was reported to be Hoover's lover and long time companion, Naomi Watts (2005's King Kong) is Helen Gandy, Hoover's personal secretary and the one who worked hard to destroy Hoover's own personal file after his death. Capably presented to us by Academy Award Winning Director Clint Eastwood.

Starring Meryl Streep as the intrepid Margaret Thatcher, The Iron Lady proves to be one of the most likely Oscar contenders to come along in quite a while. Thatcher was a tough Prime Minister and that was good because she reigned in particularly tough times. And this film depicts how very remarkable she was, how ambitious she was, and how she succeeded in a world full of strong men.argaret Thatcher was the Conservative Party leader from 1975 up until 1990 and the United Kingdom's Prime Minister from 1979 up to 1990. She was considered to be a war monger as well as a destroyer of the economy during her time of service. But there was far more to the woman than just her professional side and that's what this film is focusing on, her incredible strength and ability to triumph over the heavy odds against her. Being a woman made everything she accomplished all the more amazing and her accomplishments will long be remembered in the political history of the UK. Thatcher now reportedly suffers from Alzheimer's disease. It is interesting that an American actress is portraying a powerful leader in the UK, but if anyone can succeed it is Meryl Streep (Kramer vs Kramer, Silkwood, Momma Mia!).
