Complete with a story worthy of the Lifetime Channel, “The Secret Life of Bees” pits an abusive, dominating male against a strong and spunky heroine. Though a chick-flick in nature, this film provides a powerful message for any audience.

Set in 1964 South Carolina, the film is the moving tale of Lily Owens (Dakota Fanning, “Hound Dog”), a 14-year-old girl who is haunted by the memory of her late mother.

Zombies, crazed dogs and paranoia come together to give “Quarantine” a decent plotline.
