For as long as they can remember, the Brothers Bloom have had only each other to depend on. From their childhood in a long series of gloomy foster homes to their highflying lives as international con artists, Stephen (Mark Ruffalo) and Bloom (Adrien Brody) have shared everything. Stephen brilliantly concocts intricate stories that the brothers live out, but he's still searching for the perfect con, the one where "everyone gets what they want." Meanwhile, Bloom yearns for "an unwritten life"—a real adventure, one not dreamed up by his old brother.
Eager to retire, Bloom agrees to take part in one last grand scam. He insinuates himself into the life of Penelope (Rachel Weisz), a bored, single New Jersey heiress. When a genuine romance begins to blossom between them, he is reluctant to exploit her naiveté, but Penelope has already taken the bait: She impulsively joins Bloom, Stephen and their "associate," a sexy Japanese explosives expert named Bang Bang (Rinko Kikuchi), on an ocean liner to Greece. Penelope is convinced she's happened upon the adventure of a lifetime and offers to bankroll a million dollar deal. As the quartet makes their way from Athens to Prague to Mexico to St. Petersburg, Penelope quickly becomes addicted to the illicit thrills.

Lies & Illusions



Christian Slater stars as the comical protagonist, a weakling self-help author. Wes Wilson (Slater) wrote a best-selling book about finding love and he thinks that this has worked for him. He is engaged to Samantha (Sarah Ann Schultz) when they are suddenly attacked one night. This portion of the plot seems directly stolen from the far superior Tell No One. When Wes awakes he assumes that Samantha was killed. A year later he inherits her belongings as per her will. At this point he discovers that Samantha may be alive and that she was some sort of skilled thief or spy.
Wes has started dating a woman named Nicole (Christa Campbell) when Samantha returns, but the bigger problem is a criminal that is looking to collect on stolen diamonds. Cuba Gooding Jr. stars as the deadly criminal in yet another terrible straight-to-video disaster. The acting is all pretty bad, and even when Cuba Gooding Jr. is the best actor in the bunch, he makes the worst choices for projects.

I Hate Valentine's Day


After the mammoth success of MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING in 2002, Nia Vardalos and John Corbett reunite for this unromantic-sounding romantic comedy. As the owner of the Brooklyn florist Roses for Romance, Genevieve (Vardalos) should welcome the love-centric holiday. But heartache has kept her from serious relationships, and she has obeyed her romance rule: never go on more than five dates. New restaurateur Greg (Corbett) can’t follow any rules when it comes to dating--he doesn’t know how male-female relationships are supposed to work, so he stays unmarried. When the two pair up, they try to stick to Genevieve’s five-date mandate, but they didn’t count on love entering the equation.

Synopsis
After witnessing the brutal murder of his parents as a young boy, Chance Templeton (Rick Yune - The Fast and the Furious, Die Another Day) is taken in by a ruthless killer (Keith David - Dirty, Crash) and raised to follow in his footsteps. An assassin's trade is solitary by nature, but Chance shares a tight bond with his adopted-brother, Miles (Bokeem Woodbine - TV's Saving Grace, Ray), who's elected a more honorable path, working as a bodyguard for a sultry pop star (Dania Ramirez, TV's Heroes).
When Chance is contracted to gun down his brother's client, he realizes that there's finally a line he cannot cross. Uniting with his brother to stave off an expected hit, Chance finds himself targeted by the elite members of his own profession as he struggles to protect a woman who stubbornly rejects his services. Set against the steamy backdrop of Bangkok, this action thriller is bursting with some of the meanest stunts and fight scenes. This is high-octane action at its best.
