No one understands love and romance like Mary Fiore. After all, she's the most prestigious wedding planner in San Francisco. Specializing in making everyone else's dreams of love come true, she's too busy to have a love life of her own. While celebrating her newest and most lucrative account - the wedding of internet tycoon Fran Donolly - Mary is rescued from a near-fatal collision with a runaway dumpster by handsome Dr. Steve Edison. After spending the most enchanting evening of their lives together, Mary thinks she's finally found a reason to believe in love. Think again. Mary's world is thrown upside down when she discovers Steve is actually Fran Donolly's groom-to-be, and Mary is their wedding planner. Career and cupid have collided head on. Just when Mary thinks things can't get any worse, her father, Salvatore, takes it upon himself to fix Mary's limp love life by pre-arranging her marriage to Massimo Lanzetta, who just arrived from Sicily. It's a showdown between love and logic, and the future of Mary's heart is at stake. Will she abandon her cynicism and embrace romance? Will she learn to believe in the one event she has so diligently planned yet so emphatically eschewed? Will Mary be true to her work or true to her heart?

Conviction
This film is based on the real life case in which Betty Anne Walters, here played by Hilary Swank, put herself through law school to take on the case of her brother Kenny, played by Sam Rockwell, who was convicted of murder. Great performances by these two skilled actors are backed up by a terrific supporting cast that includes Juliette Lewis, Minnie Driver and – Melissa Leo, who just won Golden Globe and SAG trophies for her work in “The Fighter.” In this movie she plays the hard-nosed cop who made it her mission to convict a man of a crime that, as it turns out, he never committed.
Never Let Me Go
This is different kind of movie that takes place in sort of an alternate universe of the late 1970s and 1980s. Carey Mulligan, Keira Knightley and Andrew Garfield are best friends who grow up together during this time at an English boarding school. However, the school has a chilling secret - and they find out how it is that people in general have an average lifespan that has now passed 100 years of age. And how they factor into that equation.

Welcome To The Rileys
Here is a quirky film about a dark subject. James Gandolfini and Melissa Leo (again!) are two people in a marriage that has been crumbling since the death of their 15-year-old daughter in a car crash. On a business trip to New Orleans, Gandolfini’s character wanders into a strip club and meets a hooker named Malory, played by Kristen Stewart. His intentions, however, are different then she at first guesses. He wants nothing carnal from her – but he does want a daughter! Soon he sells his business and moves into her apartment, paying her 100 dollars a day for the privilege!
