Trailer Time: MAN ON A LEDGE and ONE FOR THE MONEY

Sam Worthington is a guy who likes to keep himself pretty busy these days, Clash Of The Titans, Avatar, Terminator Salvation and now this.  Man On A Ledge gave me the first impression it probably gave you all.  This is Phonebooth on the edge of a building!  and let me tell you I'm not dissing Phonebooth I thought that was a great movie but, once I'd seen the trailer for Man On A Ledge, I was hooked instantly, it kind of reminds me now of Heat (De Niro, Pacino) maybe, you know what I mean a big stand off between cops and criminals.  Maybe comparing it to Heat is giving myself a little to high of an expectation, we should probably roll with Inside Man (Denzel Washington) for now.

This movie looks to be so much more than it's title would suggest, unlike Phonebooth which was actually based in a Phonebooth this movie opens it up a bit and allows you to see a little more.  I suppose Bird On A Wire (Mel Gibson, Goldie Hawn) had nothing to do with a bird on a wire did it?

Man On A Ledge come to the US on January 13th and then the UK on January 27th with a brilliant cast and what looks to be a brilliant story.  Nick Cassidy (Sam Worthington) is an ex cop turned con who threatens to jump to his death from a Manhattan hotel rooftop.  Pretty much every cop and fire department in the city turn out to what they think is an attempt at suicide, they even get a police pshycologist to speak to him.  Unbeknown to the NYPD though, it's nothing more than elaborate hoax attempting to cover up one of the biggest diamond heist's ever pulled.

If you have been reading the articles on this site for a while now, then you probably already know that I think Katherine Heigl is the hottest chick in Hollywood right now.  Don’t get me wrong I’m not saying that all of her movies are great, You can go read a couple of their reviews right here, The Ugly Truth and Knocked Up.


Being the hottest in Hollywood usually lands you with quite a few leading roles and Katherine Heigl seems to have them coming out her ears including this one due out in January 27th 2012 (US), One For The Money looks to me like an exact replica of The Bounty Hunter starring Jennifer Aniston and Gerrard Butler, see what you think.

Stephanie Plum (Heigl) is a newly divorced unemployed girl who manages to land herself a job with her cousin's bail bond company.  It doesn't take long to get her first job and she manages to be put on the trail of a wanted local cop Joe Morelli (Terra Novas Jason O'Mara) Problem is she used to date him, sound familiar?
