May 5, 2008
Before The Big Day Comes One Wild Night! Featuring an all-star cast from such hits as American Beauty, Enchanted and Dawson’s Creek, STANDING STILL is out on rental DVD on 28 April 2008 and retail DVD on 12 May 2008. Starring Oscar-nominated Amy Adams (Enchanted, Charlie Wilson’s War, Junebug), Mena Suvari (American Beauty, American Pie), James Van Der Beek (TV’s Dawson’s Creek, The Rules of Attraction) and Colin Hanks (King Kong, Orange Country), STANDING STILL features the best talent from American TEEN comedy.
The chemistry between the cast shines through as they tell story of a group of college friends who re-unite four years after graduating for the wedding of Elise (Amy Adams) and Michael (Adam Garcia), a seemingly perfect couple who have been dating forever. Unlike most young couples, they have everything one can wish for – a beautiful house, an upcoming wedding and of course a crew of close friends, all coming into Los Angeles for the weekend nuptials.
As the friends arrive at the house, however, joyous reunions quickly turn into a roller coaster of emotions as they learn new things about each other. Past relationships are dealt with including Elise’s hot lesbian past arriving in the form of Jennifer. New relationships start, and it becomes clear that by standing still and facing the past, they will be able to go on with the future.
The friends may be STANDING STILL, but the party never ends.

May 3, 2008
Sometimes you have to live life one letter at a time…
PS I LOVE YOU is the feel-good comedy of the year. A fantastic £11m, No. 1 box office smash, the film features an A-list Hollywood cast headed by two-time Academy Award® winner Hilary Swank (Million Dollar Baby, Boys Don’t Cry), Gerard Butler (300), Lisa Kudrow (TV’s Friends), Harry Connick Jr (Bug, TV’s Will & Grace), Academy Award® winner Kathy Bates (Misery) and Jeffrey Dean Morgan (The Accidental Husband, TV’s Grey’s Anatomy).
“A Ghost for grown-ups.”**** Marie Claire
Based on the best-selling book of the same name by Cecelia Ahern, whose own Irish roots infuse the story with oodles of gaelic charm, much to the delight of audiences in the UK and the Republic of Ireland, PS I LOVE YOU was written and directed by Academy Award® nominee Richard LaGravenese and produced by Wendy Finerman of The Devil Wears Prada fame.
“Charming, funny and moving, with a stand out performance by Swank.” Daily Star
Available to rent and buy on DVD on 12 May 2008 courtesy of Momentum Pictures, this must-own DVD is an irresistibly charming romantic comedy about the enduring power of love, when sometimes the only thing left to say is PS I love you. A tear jerker that will, in equal measure, have you laughing out loud, you’d better start stocking up now on the tissues as your heart strings are tugged for all they’re worth. As the director states, “This is a love story, but it’s also a journey of self-discovery. It’s a story about friendship and family and about how love can be so strong that it stretches across life and death.”
“As heart-warming as it is heart-breaking – don’t forget tissues!***** Cosmopolitan
Sometimes there’s only one thing left to say
Synopsis
Holly Kennedy (Hilary Swank) is beautiful, smart and married to the love of her life – a passionate, funny and impetuous Irishman named Gerry (Gerard Butler). So when Gerry’s life is taken by an illness, it takes the life out of Holly. Nobody knows Holly better than Gerry, so it’s a good thing he planned ahead.
Before he died, Gerry wrote Holly a series of letters that will guide her, not only through her grief but in rediscovering life. The first message arrives on Holly’s birthday in the form of a tape recording from Gerry ordering her to get out and celebrate! In the weeks and months that follow, more letters from Gerry are delivered in surprising ways, each sending her on a new adventure and each signing off in the same way: PS I Love You.
Holly’s protective mother (Kathy Bates) and best friends (Lisa Kudrow, Gina Gershon) worry that this link with the past is stopping her from moving on but with Gerry’s words as her guide Holly embarks on a touching, exciting and hilarious journey of rediscovery.

May 2, 2008
I’ve been watching the MTV show The Hills since it first began, after liking Laguna Beach it seemed like the next logical step to watch Lauren and Heidi start their new life in LA. What I didn’t realise at the time was just how much the show would turn into a weekly catfight between the two girls and how immature its stars could be at times…. Read more
