Movie: Playing for Keeps
Summary: Gerard Butler, Jessica Biel, Uma Thurman, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Dennis Quaid star in Playing for Keeps, a romantic comedy about a charming, down-in-his luck former soccer star (Butler) who returns home to put his life back together.  Looking for a way to rebuild his relationship with his son, he gets roped into coaching the boy's soccer team.  But his attempts to generally become an adult are met with hilarious challenges from the attractive soccer moms who pursue him to every turn.
-I think this movie is going to be funny, and Gerard Butler is in it, so it has to be good:)
Movie:Waiting for Lightning
Summary: This movie is the story of Danny Way, the skateboarder whose dream was to jump The Great Wall of China on a skateboard.  It's a movie about how much abuse the body can sustain, how deep you have to dig to survive, the challenges life brings, and how high and far dreams can go to.  In his journey for greatness, Way continues to shape the very sport which helped save his own life.
-I think this movie seems great, but a little bit gruesome. 
Movie:The Man Who Shook the Hand of Vicente Fernandez
Summary: Retired radio DJ, Rex Page (Ernest Borgnine). always dreamed of being a Western movie cowboy.  After suffering a back injury, Rex finds himself recovering at Rancho Park nursing home, a facility held in the villainous grip of local businessman Mr. Walker (Barry Corbin) and his evil henchman, Dr. Dominguez (Tony Plana).  At first, Rex is helpless in this lawless world, but when the Latino staff realizes that Rex once met their icon, Vicente Fernandez, Rex becomes a local celeb.  And like the cowboys from his dreams, Rex discovers the love and respect of his family and the staff when he faces down the tyrannical owners of Rancho Park this homage to the Spaghetti Westerns of yore. 
-This movie doesn't seem that good to me, but it seems like a good cheesy film.
Movie: Heleno

-Honestly, this movie does not seem like a good movie to me at all, but I think it will amuse some people in the world.
