Solaris is a sci-fi thriller directed by Steven Soderbergh. It is an intense psychological thriller that delves into the mysteries of the human mind and the power of love, memories, and hope. It is a haunting film that blends reality, fantasy, and madness.

The story centers around Chris who is a psychologist. He receives a frantic message from a close friend named Gibrarian. Gibrarian is part of an investigative team aboard a space station that is circling a planet called Solaris. He tells Chris that he needs help because very strange things have been taking place on the station. He cannot elaborate as to what is going on and he insists that Chris must come aboard the station to see for himself.

CQ is an exciting film directed by Roman Coppola, son of Francis Ford Coppola. Featuring a great cast, CQ (code for "Seek You") is a fun and interesting film that blends reality and fantasy and shows the intricacies of a film within a film.

Set in Paris in 1969, CQ revolves around Paul, a young American film editor who is working on a film titled Codename Dragonfly. Codename Dragonfly is a schlocky science fiction thriller that is set in the future - 2001. The title character, Dragonfly, is a beautiful, sexy, Barbarella-style spy. The production of the film is troubled due to a number of obstacles. Enzo, the exasperated producer fires the director, Andrezej because he is dissatisfied with the style of the ending. Felix DeMarco, a sleazy young upstart director is called in to replace Andrzej but soon, due to an injury, DeMarco must pull out of the production. Paul suddenly finds himself as the film's new director.
