Leatherheads


George Clooney stars in this movie about the early days of professional football. When pro football first began it was unpopular and most teams were on the verge of bankruptcy. Clooney plays Dodge Connelly, an older player who refuses to give up on the game so he hires a young star to bring the sport to life. Filled with a great cast, but not any of their best films.

Run Fatboy Run


Simon Pegg plays Dennis, an out of shape dead beat who ditches his pregnant fiancee at the alter. When she moves on and finds someone else he realizes the consequences of his actions and strives to make things right. This is a very funny movie and Pegg is hilarious.

Deception


Ewan McGregor plays Jonathan McQuarry a timid auditor who when one day he meets up with a good looking, savvy lawyer (Hugh Jackman) finds his whole life turned upside down. When they accidentally switch cell phones he finds himself in the middle of a high powered sex club. Of course with the title Deception you know not all is as it seems. I really didn't like McGregor in this role, but I didn't fall asleep...

Sex and the City


All four girls are back in this movie which catches the viewer up on what has been happening since the HBO show ended. People who loved the show will enjoy seeing the movie and finding out what all their leading ladies are up to.

Iron Man


When genius weapons building billionaire Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) gets held hostage by an evil terrorist organization the only way to escape is by building a "superhero" suit. Once he gets home he gives up weapons building and goes to work perfecting his new invention so that he can use it to fight crime.

Mamma's Boy


Jon Heder and Diane Keaton star in this comedy about a man who will just not grow up. Jeffrey still lives at home with his mom and thinks his life is great until one day when his mom gets a new boyfriend (Jeff Daniels). He quickly learns he can either grow up or cope, because things will never be the same. I thought this movie was kind of boring for such a great cast.

27 Dresses



Katherine Heigl stars in this romantic comedy about a girl who is so wrapped up in everyone else's relationships that she isn't living her own life. When her beautiful sister comes into town and instantly goes after her secret "love" her perfect life starts to fall apart. Kind of a corny movie, but since I am a fan of Heigl I still enjoyed it.
