The Back-Up Plan (earlier known as "Plan B") directed by Alan Poul is an forthcoming romantic comedy movie, starring Jennifer Lopez and Alex O'Loughlin. It is scheduled to be released in theaters in the US on April 23, 2010. As a producer his first movie was Black Rain (1989)
Zoe (Jennifer Lopez) is well aware that her biological clock is ticking, so now she desparately needs to be a mother, but she just can't find the type of guy she'd want to settle down and start a family with. Finally, she makes the decision to become a single mother so she gets artificially inseminated through a sperm bank. The very same day that Zoe follows through her plan, however, she meets Stan (Alex O'Loughlin), a single enchanter whom she thinks would make a great father. While at first Zoe struggles to hide the truth from Stan, before it is too long she decides to disclose the truth. Much to her wonder, Stan responds excitedly, saying that he's in it for the long haul. Over the course of the next nine months, Zoe and Stan enter into a whirlwind romance, begin drawing up wedding plans, and mapping out the rest of their lives together. But will their growing love collapse under the stress of all this weight, or was it simply meant to be that Zoe and Stan would both find each other at such a crucial turning point in each other's lives?
It was rated PG13 for sexual matter including references, some crude material and language. Kirk Honeycutt from The Hollywood Reporter gave the picture a positive review saying that 'A successful performance by Jennifer Lopez overcomes a formulaic and predictable rom-com that involves a planned pregnancy.'

KICK-ASS
Kick-Ass is a 2010 superhero picture based on the comic book of the same name by Mark Millar and John Romita, Jr. The movie is directed by Matthew Vaughn, produced by Vaughn and actor Brad Pitt, the script written by Vaughn and Jane Goldman. The picture premiered March 26, 2010 in the United Kingdom and is due to premiere April 16, 2010 in the United States.
The film tells the tale of teenage Dave Lizewski who sets out to become a real life superhero only to get caught up in a larger fight. He meets Big Daddy, a previous cop who, in his journey to bring down an evil drug lord Frank D'Amico, has skilled his eleven-year-old daughter to be the pitiless vigilante hit-Girl.
Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson), a typical teenage boy, thinks why nobody has ever decided to grow to be a real-life superhero like the heroes in the comic books. His friends at a comic book store told him that if anyone did grow to be a superhero, they would get their ass kicked, and perhaps get killed. In spite of this, Dave decides to create a superhero costume for himself and grow to be a masked crimefighter. Dave fails at his first go to combat crime - he is crushed, stabbed, and knock by a car. He assures paramedics to say nothing of his outfit and pretends he was brought in naked. In hospital for some weeks he is left with metal holding his bones together which he says makes him look like Wolverine. He also suffered with nerve injury which leaves him very weak. When he goes back to school, his longtime crush, Katie Deauxma ( Lyndsy Fonseca), seems more attracted in him. His friends explain she thinks he is gay and wants to take care of him. Lizewski goes along with this in an effort to spend time with her.
Dave remains undeterred by his earlier delay, and ends up meddling with a gang combat outside a diner. Dressed in outfit and using two customized night-sticks, he fights off three men. As the fight ends, a man who has been recording the act on his cell phone, asks Dave who he is, and he replies: "I'm Kick-Ass". The tape is posted on the internet and soon becomes an internet phenomenon, making Kick-Ass an overnight sensation.
As Kick-Ass, Dave creates a MySpace account, so people can call him for aid and is overwhelmed with responses. While with Katie, she admits that she was being harassed by a medicine seller, and Lizewski convinces her to ask Kick-Ass for aid. He examines and ends up in a building full of violent lowlifes who attempt to kill him. He is rescued by a costumed, sword-wielding young girl named hit-Girl ( Chloë Grace Moretz), who kills all the attackers and then leaves to join her father, Damon Macready (Nicolas Cage), whose alias as Big Daddy. knock-Girl (Mindy Macready) jumps across the rooftops and tells Kick-Ass to follow her, but he is scared to jump, so they leave him behind. Later Kick-Ass is visited at home by knock-Girl and Big Daddy who have tracked him from his MySpace account. hit-Girl and Big Daddy inform Kick-Ass that they can work together.
Meanwhile, local crime organization leader Frank D'Amico (Mark Strong) hears of the deaths of many of his men because of the new legend, Kick-Ass. In search of Kick-Ass, D'Amico kills an imitator whom he thinks to be Kick-Ass. His son, Chris (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) suggests that he develop a new superhero persona ('Red Mist'), enticing Kick-Ass into meeting him. At first, Red Mist attempts to guide Kick-Ass to a warehouse. They arrive to find it on fire, and the men are dead; Red Mist retrieves secret surveillance video recording which shows that Big Daddy is responsible for the assault. Red Mist asks Kick-Ass to call knock-Girl and Big Daddy for aid, and they set up to meet at a safe house. As soon as they arrive, knock-Girl is sitting on a window ridge and Red Mist shoots her, throwing her out of the window. Kick-Ass and Big Daddy are captured by D'Amico's men and taken to a warehouse where the gangsters present an internet transmission, to unmask and execute the heroes and there starts a fierceful battle in which Big Daddy is killed.
After killing their enemies, both hit-Girl and Kick-Ass retire from crime fighting, with Mindy living a normal life and attending the same school as Dave. Another wave of superheroes have been influenced by his exploits. Red Mist is shown donning a new mask and swearing vengeance.
Review aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a rating of 80% built on 49 reviews, with an average score of 7.3/10. The picture received a 15-certificate rating in the United Kingdom, for "strong language, once very strong, & strong bloody comic violence". It is alike Watchmen (2009, Zack Snyder), Defendor (2009, Peter Stebbings)

THE LAST SONG
The Last Song is a 2010 American coming-of-age drama movie developed alongside the Nicholas Sparks novel by the same name. The movie was directed by Julie Anne Robinson in her feature film directorial debut and co-written by Sparks and Jeff Van Wie. The Last Song casts Miley Cyrus , Greg Kinnear, Kelly Preston and Liam Hemsworth and follows a difficult teenager's story as she reconnects with her separated father and falls in love during a summer in a solitary Southern beach town.
At seventeen, Veronica "Ronnie" Miller (Miley Cyrus ) remains as disobedient as she was the day after her parents' nasty divorce and father's following relocation to Georgia three years ago. Once a classical piano sensation under the sponsorship of her father, Steve Miller ( Greg Kinnear), Ronnie now discards the instrument and has not spoken to her father since he left. While Juilliard School has been interested in her since she was young, Ronnie is reluctant to attend.
Now, Steve is given the chance to reconnect with his estranged daughter when her mother, Kim (Kelly Preston) sends the rebellious teen and her younger sibling, Jonah (Bobby Coleman), to spend the summer with him. Steve, a former Juilliard School professor and concert pianist, now lives a quiet life in Tybee Island, the small Georgia beach town where he grew up, working on a stained glass window for the local church to replace the one the church lost in a fire.
After coming, Ronnie is miserable, hostile and defensive toward everybody, including handsome, popular Will Blakelee ( Liam Hemsworth) - until, after both she and Will become occupied in caring a Loggerhead Sea Turtle nest, she finds he is deeper than she believed. She then finds out that her father has cancer, and it is very serious. As Ronnie falls in love with Will, she also makes an effort to connect with her father Steve through the one thing they have in common- music. Her relationships is not less than a roller-coaster ride, and Will goes to college and leaves her. In the end, her father passes away, and she plays the last song he ever composed at his funeral. Later, she finds Will, who transferred to Columbia to be closer to her, and they get back together.
The Last Song had originally been scheduled for a January 8, 2010 release, but on September 22, 2009 it was announced the release had been delayed until April 2, 2010. Reviews for The Last Song have been generally negative. It currently holds a 13% approval rating on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, based on 78 reviews.

SHERLOCK HOLMES
Sherlock Holmes is a 2009 film version of Arthur Conan Doyle's fictional person of the same name. The picture was directed by Guy Ritchie and produced by Joel Silver, Lionel Wigram, Susan Downey and Dan Lin.
In 1891 London, Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey, Jr.) and Dr. John Watson (Jude Law) chase to prevent a human sacrifice rite performed by Lord Blackwood (Mark Strong). Holmes and Watson stop the sacrifice just in time and neutralize Lord Blackwood, after which the police, led by Inspector Lestrade (Eddie Marsan), arrive and catch him.
Blackwood's capital punishment takes place three months later, during which Holmes has become bored without a new case. Watson prepares to leave 221B Baker Street to start his own business, and he intends to marry Mary Morstan (Kelly Reilly). Blackwood requests Holmes' presence on the day of his capital punishment, and warns him that three more deaths will occur after his capital punishment that will change the very nature of their world. Later, Blackwood is executed by hanging, affirmed dead by Watson himself.
Holmes is re-acquainted with Irene Adler (Rachel McAdams), the only being who has managed to outfox him. She offers him a sum of cash to practice a case of a lost red-haired midget by the name of Reardon. Holmes disguises himself to find the identity of Adler's employer, but can only surmise him as a professor. Three days after Blackwood's execution, his grave is found destroyed, from the inside out, and an eyewitness reports seeing Blackwood walking away. Holmes, Watson, and Lestrade find Blackwood's casket contains the body of the red-haired midget. Holmes follows hints from a pocket timepiece on the body to the midget's house, where they find out some chemistry research. They barely avoid capture by three thugs that have arrived to eliminate the evidence in the house, but afterward are arrested for property destruction. Watson is released on bail by Miss Morstan, while Holmes is taken to the Temple of the Four Orders, an occult-dabbling secret society. Their leaders reveal Blackwood was a former member, and plead for Holmes to assist hinder him. Holmes declines their kind proposal of reward but continues to investigate. As Holmes and Watson inspect, the two superior members are assasinated through clear mysterious means by Blackwood, and he assumes control of the order, desiring to use the Order's power to push for England to retake the United States after their civil war has weakened their defenses. Blackwood orders the home Secretary, a member of the Order, to issue a warrant for Holmes' capture.
Holmes and Watson follow hints to an industrial slaughterhouse, where they are taunted by Blackwood and forced to rescue Adler from a deathly conveyor belt trap. Watson chases after Blackwood but is captured by a tripwire, setting off an explosion; Watson is able to caution Holmes and Alder to safety but is terribly wounded himself in the blast. Holmes learns he is hunted by the police and goes into hiding, and reflects on the clues he has collected. He comes to realize that Blackwood is attempting to cast a spell based on the sphinx, with the three assasinated tied to three of the mythical creature's animal constituents: man, ox, and eagle. Holmes deduces the fourth, the lion, is symbolized by the English Parliament. Holmes allows Lestrade to capture and bring him to the house Secretary. Overconfident, the Secretary informs Blackwood's plot for wiping out all the Lords but rescue those loyal followers of his. Holmes flees, diving into the river Thames, and is rescued by a waiting boat with Watson and Adler in it.
Regrouping with Watson and Adler, Holmes takes them to the sewers below Parliament where they find a machine devised by the midget that is operated by a remote trigger held by Blackwood that will release a cyanide by-product into the Parliament chambers. The three fight off Blackwood's men and remove the cyanide cylinders from the apparatus. Adler grabs the cylinders and races away, followed by Holmes; Blackwood becomes alert his machine has failed and shortly follows thereafter. The three pull in at the top of the Tower Bridge, still under construction. Blackwood knocks Adler to a lower platform, where she falls unconscious. Holmes tricks Blackwood into becoming entangled in the ropes and chains, and Blackwood is soon hanging dangerously from these over the Thames while Holmes recounts that all of Blackwood's "magical" tricks were applications of science and trickery. Holmes intends for Blackwood to stand trial but, tangled in ropes, Blackwood falls and is hanged by the chains. Holmes helps Adler get well, though handcuffs her. She explains that the weird caped man in the carriage is one Professor Moriarty. Holmes drops the key to the cuffs in Adler's bosom and leaves her, returning to Watson. The police arrive to report a dead officer found near Blackwood's machine, and Holmes deduces that chasing Adler and fighting Blackwood was a diversion by Moriarty, who used the diversion to take a key component of Blackwood's remote control machine from the {machine|apparatus.
The movie was freed in the United States on December 25, 2009, and on December 26, 2009, in the UK, Ireland, and the Pacific. Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 68% of 183 critics have given the movie a positive review, with a rating average of 6.1 out of 10. The feature film opened to an estimated $65,380,000 in its first weekend, placing in second at the US box office to Avatar, which grossed $75 million.

THIS IS IT
Michael Jackson's This Is It (commonly known as This Is It) is a 2009 American documentary/concert film directed by Kenny Ortega and starring Michael Jackson, Kenny Ortega, Orianthi Panagaris. It documents Michael Jackson's rehearsals and preparation for the series of concert of the same name scheduled to start on July 13, 2009, but canceled due to his death eighteen days prior on June 25. The film is now the highest grossing concert film and documentary in the saga of pictures.
The feature film consists of Jackson rehearsing musical numbers and guiding his group, and extra behind the scenes footage as well as dancer auditions and outfit design. Ortega dedicated the film to Jackson's three children. The footage was filmed at both the Staples Center arena and The Forum in Los Angeles, California. In spite of originally being set for October 30, the picture's release date was rescheduled for October 28, 2009 due to a strong demand by Jackson's fans. The movie was given a wide worldwide release and a limited two-week theatrical run from October 28, to November 12, 2009. Tickets went on sale a month early on September 27, 2009, to gratify a high anticipated demand; to date, the film has broken numerous records via tickets both pre-sale and sales global.
Since the movie's confirmation, AEG Live has faced criticism; mostly consisting of lies that they had only made the film to make a gain. Many members of Jackson's family had confirmed that they didn't hold the movie and some family members went as far as to try to stop the film contract in August. The picture has also been surrounded by multiple controversies, including allegations about the look of body doubles in place of Jackson; which Sony was reluctant, and an fury from Jackson fans; with some going as far as to start a protest against the picture. On August 10, 2009, a judge approved a deal between Jackson's property, concert promoter AEG Live, and Sony Pictures. The contract allowed Sony to edit the hundreds of hours of trial footage needed to create the movie. Sony subsequently paid $60 million for the movie rights.
The preview premiered during the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards on September 13, 2009, along with the simultaneous launching of the film's official website. The feature film was released to mainly positive reviews from both critics and Jackson fans; the movie's portrayal of Jackson and his performances were generally praised, while criticism mainly consisted of both critics and fans having felt that the film was made just to gain off Jackson's demise and that Jackson wouldn't have wanted the film released because he was a "uncompromising worker". In the film's opening weekend it grossed over $23 million - in the United States alone - making the film number one at the box office and making it the fifth highest-grossing Halloween debut. The feature film's global revenue gross was in total $252.4 million during its theatrical run making it the maximum grossing documentary or concert feature film of all time.
It was released on October 28, 2009. Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 80% of 162 critics have given the film a positive review, with a rating average of 7.1 out of 10. In the second week, it was out grossed by A Christmas Carol.

THE WEATHER MAN
The Weather Man is a 2005 dramatic picture with gloomy comedic moments, directed by Gore Verbinski. Written by Steve Conrad, it casts Nicolas Cage, Michael Caine and Hope Davis and tells the account of a weatherman on a Chicago news program, who is a failure outside his career.
A flourishing weatherman at a Chicago news program, David Spritz is finely paid but discovers his occupation requires little more than speaking and pointing. He thinks most people like him only because he's on TV. For various reason, people occasionally throw fast food at him as they drive by. Recently separated, his wife, Noreen, has guardianship of their two kids. Dave is candidly aggressive to her new boyfriend, Russ.
Dave's 12-year-old daughter, Shelly, is a stout smoker, bullied by her classmates. Dave caters to his daughter's interest in activities even though she immediately drops them; archery for example. Dave's 15-year-old son, Mike, is befriended by his therapist, Don, an too liberal single man whose concern in Mike is disturbing.
Dave is inhibited by his extremely booming father, Robert Spritzel, a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer. Robert is concerned with Dave's apparent incapability to grow up and deal with his children, while Dave is concerned to convert himself in his father's eyes. Robert is diagnosed with lymphoma and although given only a few months to live, he remains dignified.
Dave pursues a weatherman position with the national "Hello America" show. The work would nearly quadruple his salary, but means relocating to New York City. He sees this work as a chance to prove himself to his father and probably reconcile with his wife.Dave attempts to reconnect with Noreen by attending group therapy. He stupidly ruins the effort by betraying Noreen's trust and initiates an intense fight.
As he becomes more and more unnerved, Dave takes up archery, finding the activity a means to build his focus and soothe his mental strain."Hello America" invites Dave to New York. He brings Shelly so he can talk to her. He skirts the subject by buying her a wardrobe of garments and skirts. Dave's father also tours to NY to see a specialist. Dave learns that, his son assaulted his counselor. Robert claims that the therapist wanted to do oral sex on Mike. Depressed over this and his father's expected death, Dave stays up all night drinking, despite the "Hello America" interview the next morning. Amazingly, all goes finely and he impresses his interviewers.
Dave returns to Chicago to find Noreen's boyfriend dealing with the Mike situation. Astonishingly, Dave strikes Russ with his gloves in front of Noreen and Robert, who are shocked. Dave later confronts the therapist at his home and attacks him in a angry mood. Dave is offered the "Hello America" work. He is reluctant because it means being away from Noreen and the kids.
The family holds a living funeral for Robert. Dave asks Noreen to patch up and move to New York but she has determined to marry Russ. To soothe his worry, he practices archery on the lawn. When Russ steps out, Dave draws the arrow on him and holds it, preparing to shoot. Russ, unnerved, goes back inside.When Dave starts his formal speech to his father the power goes out. He starts crying telling his father that he was offered the work, but that his wife will tie knot with Russ. Robert consoles him by saying that not all in life goes as we'd like, and that he is satisfied with his son for being able to land the "Hello America" position and also for Dave's protection of his son.
Robert accepted to reading Dave's, admittedly poor, try at a novel. Robert explains that it takes years to be a good author and Dave spent all those years learning to be a good weatherman and that's an triumph, mainly highlighting his son's triumph in landing such a well-paid position. Eventually, Robert has a real funeral and at that time, Mike discloses to his father the aspirations to be a cameraman for Monday Night Football, which makes Dave proud of him. Dave accepts the job. Dave's former dislike for his fans, a reflection of his own low self-respect, has gone now that he has gained his father's approval and learned to accept his life.
Released on October 28, 2005, the film was a box office bomb, with a total gross of $19,039,770 worldwide. The Weather Man received mixed reviews, gaining an overall score of 57% on Rotten Tomatoes. It is similar to The Family Man (2000, Brett Ratner).
