Ewan McGregor is a dorky accountant who seems to be living nearly every guy’s dream: he’s befriended by Hugh Jackman and introduced to a sex club that gives him full access to kinky sex with a variety of anonymous, gorgeous women. The only rules are no rough stuff and no names are exchanged. Done and done!

And of course it’s all fun and games until someone goes missing and you’re the prime suspect. McGregor finds himself the center of a police investigation when one of the women he liaised with disappears, and when he names Jackman as the one who introduced him to the girl, it turns out Jackman isn’t quite the friend he claimed to be. Interesting…this will definitely be added to my RENT IT list.

Deception is rated R and opens April 25. (Official site)

I have a confession to make: the only Woody Allen movie I’ve seen is Annie Hall, and my reaction was, “that’s it?” I prefer light comedies, and Allen’s new comedy with Scarlett Johansson, Hugh Jackman, and Ian McShane fits the bill. In Scoop, Johansson plays a journalism student who receives the scoop of the century from the Ian McShane’s ghostly character. She pursues Jackman, who may or may not be the Tarot Card Killer, and romance and hijinks ensue. In true narcissistic fashion, Woody Allen gets first billing and plays Johansson’s father, which is more than a little creepy given his real-life crush on her. Nevertheless, any movie that has hijinks, mystery, romance, and a shirtless Hugh Jackman works for me, so I’m going to Rent It.

(In the interest of full disclosure, Scoop is running an ad campaign on the site where I have a paying gig in ad sales. But I still want to Rent It. In fact, it’s already on my queue.)

Scoop is rated PG-13 and opens Friday, July 28.
