Did you Hear about The Morgans

With a release date of December 2009, this movie is coming soon to theaters. Did you hear about the Morgans falls into the Romantic Comedy genre and has a wonderful cast including Sarah Jessica Parker, Mary Steenburgen Sam, Elliot and Hugh Grant. The movie is about a couple who are having problems and witness a murder.

When in Rome

When in Rome is due out in January of 2010. While stars Kristen Bell and Josh Duhemel are young, I believe the older crowd will appreciate the scenary in the movie along with the magic of the power of the "fountain of love."

Rapunzel

This classic fairy tale is always a crowd pleaser. The new Rapunzel is animated and set to open on December 10 2010. Rapunzel will be voiced by Mandy Moore. The synopsis of the movie is similar as in previous years. Rapunzel lives in a tower and wants to leave, except now Rapunzel is more independent and does not wait to be saved. In addition, her hair is supposedly used as a weapon.

This movie has to be good. It stars the always talented Meryl Streep along with Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin. Jane, played by Streep, had been divorced for ten years. Her Ex, Jake, decides that he wants her back. Basically, Jake, Alec Baldwin, and Adam, Steve Martin, vie for Jane's attention.

Date Night

With Steve Carrell and Tina Fey as married parents, you know this movie is going to be a romantic comedy. The plot has to do, obviously, with Carell and Fey on a date night that has its fair share of mishaps. This movie opens April 2010.

Broken Embraces

This movie is a romance but also considered a Foreign Thriller. Therefore, it is a little grittier than the previous films.

In addition, the movie is long, just over two hours.
