Reporters and Mysteries
A freewheeling newspaper man (Russell Crowe: Body of Lies, A Good Year) and an internet reporter (Rachel McAdams: Red Eye, The Family Stone) team up to 
solve a murder in the political thriller State of Play. The two start to piece together that the suicide of a congressman's (Ben Affleck: Man About Town, Daredevil) aide and the shooting deaths of strangers in an alley could be connected, not just to each other, but to an even larger conspiracy. Digging for the bigger story, and bucking the authority of the paper's ferocious editor (Helen Mirren: The Queen, Inkheart), the two get more and more involved in a mystery that powerful figures would kill to keep secret. On DVD and Blu-Ray.
Personally...
The quirky romantic comedy Good Dick stars Jason Ritter (Freddy vs. Jason, W.) as a video store clerk who becomes fascinated with the introverted girl who comes in to rent adult videos from him. The pair are almost complete opposites... except that they both seem to need each other. With Martin Starr (Adventureland, Superbad), Mark Webber (Broken Flowers, Winter Solstice), and Tom Arnold (McHale's Navy, True Lies).
By the team who directed Half Nelson, Sugar is the story of a young baseball player from the Dominican Republic who is bought to America to find his way through training, farms, and the minor leagues in hopes of making his fortune in major league baseball. Not really a 
sports film, this low key drama follows a young man with no English through the midwest, as he tries to make the most of his life in a strange land, and the community of players imported from around the world, all trying to achieve the same things his is.
Sports
The fifth installment in the series, Bring it On: Fight to the Finish stars Christina Milian (Pulse, Torque) as a new girl in a school run by the privileged and the rich. When she tries to prove herself as a talented cheerleader, the new school's queen bee (Rachele Brooke Smith: Fired Up!, 17 Again) sees her as a threat... and there's only one way for two cheerleaders to resolve their quarrel.
Channing Tatum (Coach Carter, Step Up) finds himself in underground boxing matches in Fighting. His matches are made harder by a small-time crime lord (Terrence Howard: Iron Man, The Brave One) who runs fighters and the gambling around the fights, and his life is brightened by a waitress (Zulay Henao: S. Darko, Feel the Noise) he meets at a club, but his two worlds can't be kept separate forever.
