GLITTER
Starring: Mariah Carey, Max Beesley, Tia Texada, Terence Howard,
Da Brat Pop star Mariah Carey plays Billie Frank, a shy, young mixed-race
girl who is sent away by her alcoholic mother at a very early age.
At an orphanage, she befriends Louise (Da Brat) and Roxanne (Tia
Texada). Flash forward to 1983. Billie and her friends are spotted
by a record-producer, who wants them to sing backup vocals for his
latest pop-music discovery. But when super DJ Dice (Max Beesley)
hears Billie's incredible voice, he makes a shady deal with Timothy
to get her out of that dead-end situation. Soon, Billie and Dice
are making hits inside the studio, and falling in love outside of
it. Eventually, the pressure of her newfound celebrity puts too
heavy a strain on Billie, forcing her to decide what it is she really
wants from Dice, and what she wants for herself.

NOTTING HILL
Starring: Julia Roberts, Hugh Grant
Every man's dream comes true for William Thacker (Grant), an unsuccessful
Notting Hill bookstore owner, when Anna Scott (Roberts), the world's
most beautiful woman and best-liked actress, enters his shop. A
little later, he still can't believe it himself, William runs into
her again - this time spilling orange juice over her. Anna accepts
his offer to change in his nearby apartment, and thanks him with
a kiss, which seems to surprise her even more than him. Eventually,
Anna and William get to know each other better over the months,
but being together with the world's most wanted woman is not easy
- neither around your closest friends, nor in front of the all-devouring
press.

WOMAN ON TOP

Isabella is a great cook, making her husband's restaurant in Bahia,

Toninho, to infidelities. Heart-broken, she leaves for San Francisco,
moving in with her childhood friend, Monica, a cross-dresser. To
mend her heart, she makes an offering to Yemanja, the goddess of
the sea. The goddess responds: Isabella no longer loves and the
fish in Bahia no longer bite. Stricken, Toninho heads north to get

courted by its producer. Can he learn humility? Can she find happiness
without him?

later he realizes he is still in love with Mary, so he hires a private

MALENA
Starring: Monica Belluci, Giuseppe Sulfaro
On the day in 1940 that Italy enters the war, two things happen
to the 12-year-old Renato: he gets his first bike, and he gets his
first look at Malèna, a beautiful, silent outsider who's
moved to this Sicilian town to be with her husband Nico who promptly
goes off to war, leaving her to the lustful eyes of the men and
the sharp tongues of the women. During the next few years, as Renato
grows toward manhood, he watches Malèna suffer and prove
her mettle: her loneliness, then grief when Nico is reported dead,
the effects of slander on her relationship with her father, her
poverty and search for work, and final humiliations. Will Renato
learn courage from Malèna and stand up for her?
So tune- in to Star Movies this Valentine's Day and get set for
that perfect date, you had always wished for!!!
