Ocean's 12

It’s been three years since Danny Ocean (Clooney) and his crew – fronted by detail man Rusty Ryan (Pitt), up-and-coming pickpocket Linus Caldwell (Damon), explosives expert Basher Tarr (Cheadle) and safecracker Frank Catton (Mac) – pulled off one of the most audacious and lucrative heists in history, robbing ruthless entrepreneur Terry Benedict (Garcia) of every dime stored in his impenetrable Las Vegas vault. After splitting the $160 million take, each of the infamous Ocean’s crew have tried to go straight, lay low and live a legit life...but that’s proven to be a challenge, much to the chagrin of Danny’s wife, Tess (Roberts). When someone breaks Rule Number One and rats them out to Benedict, going straight is no longer an option. He wants his $160 million back – with interest – or else. And, as the gang quickly discovers, Benedict isn’t the only powerful person in the world looking for Ocean’s Eleven.

The Grudge

The Grudge, starring Sarah-Michelle Gellar known from the Buffy series, is set in Japan where a young nurse is hired to work in a spooky house, looking after an elderly woman, whose previous helper , not to mention the family that lived there before have all disappeared in mysterious circumstances. It's not too long before Sarah-Michelle Gellar's character begins to notice that something isn't right, a small boy, black shadows and the sound of crying in the walls all make an appearance. It transpires that a terrible curse is set on the house. "When someone dies in the grip of a great rage - a curse is left behind. It doesn't forgive and it doesn't forget," as the trailers says. There isn't much of a plot. But it takes the best bits of The Ring and adds in some different dialogue, nothing more, nothing less.

Jackass: The Movie

Bobbing for jellyfish, diving into elephant waste, , jumping from airplanes. Most people would never dream of doing such things; unless of course, your name is Steve-O. The MTV Jackass star always liked doing "crazy things" so why not make a career of it. His other "stunts" include snorting a worm up his nose and bringing it out his mouth and getting his butt cheeks pierced together. Jackass, was a TV show that you either loved or hated and now it is out in a movie. Starring all the Jackasses from the show, including Bam Margera, Chris Pontius, Ryan Dunn, just to name a few. Philip Clapp, insists he would make the show even more extreme if he could. "Sadly, they couldn't show me getting hit by a car" he says. Are they Kings of Jackasses or Simply Genius? You decide...
