Ryan Bingham (George Clooney) is a corporate downsizing expert who loves his life on the road but is forced to fight for his job when his company downsizes its travel budget. Bingham will be forced to spend more time at home just as he is on the cusp of a goal he’s worked towards for years: reaching five million frequent-flyer miles, and right after he’s met the frequent-traveller woman of his dreams (Vera Farmiga). This dramatic comedy received great acclaim at this year’s Toronto Film Festival.

It’s Complicated (cert TBC)
Jealous husband Colin Diamond (Ray Winstone) is devastated when he discovers his wife’s infidelity. So, with the aid of a gang of close friends, he plots to kidnap his wife’s young lover to restore his wounded ego. An all-star British cast that includes John Hurt, Tom Wilkinson, Ian McShane and Steven Berkoff appear in this explosive revenge drama.
Directed by Peter Jackson and based on the best-selling novel by Alice Sebold, The Lovely Bones centres on the story of Susie - a murdered young girl who watches over her family and her killer from heaven. She must weigh her desire for vengeance and her need to see justice against her desire for her family to heal. Mark Wahlberg and Rachel Weisz star alongside Susan Sarandon and Stanley Tucci.
Nancy Meyers writes and directs this comedy about love, divorce and everything in between. Jane (Meryl Streep) has three grown-up children, owns a thriving restaurant and has an amicable relationship with her exhusband, attorney Jake (Alec Baldwin). But then an innocent meal together turns into an affair. With Jake now remarried to the much younger Agnes (Lake Bell) and Jane involved with architect Adam (Steve Martin), should Jane and Jake move on with their lives or is love truly lovelier the second time around?
