Staring - Leonardo DiCaprio, Armie Hammer, Naomi Watts!
Directed by Clint Eastwood

As the face of law enforcement in America for almost 50 years, J. Edgar Hoover
was feared and admired, reviled and revered.

But behind closed doors, he held secrets that would have destroyed his image,
his career and his life.

Staring:
Xavier Samuel, Kris Marshall, Kevin Bishop, Tim Draxl, Olivia Newton-John,
Rebel Wilson.

 From the writer and producers of DEATH AT A FUNERAL
and the director of THE
ADVENTURES OF PRISCILLA, QUEEN OF THE DESERT
comes an
outrageous comedy about a groom and his so called 'three best mates'.

When David travels to Australia to marry the love of his life, his three best
men give a whole new meaning to the phrase 'for better or worse'. The
chaos-filled wedding is a classic culture clash between his friends and her
family … because blood is thicker than water and so are David's mates!
