Summer Movie Season Week 3 Premieres (Friday, May 15th)

THE BROTHERS BLOOM: The Brothers Bloom are the best con men in the world, swindling millionaires with complex scenarios of lust, intrigue and the most complex literary-inspired setups imaginable. Now they've decided to take on one last job -- showing a beautiful and eccentric heiress named Penelope the time of her life with a romantic adventure that takes them around the world -- from New Jersey to Greece to Russia and Prague -- in pursuit of priceless artifacts wanted by some of their most unsavory competitors. STARRING: Adrien Brody, Mark Ruffalo, Rachel Weisz, Rinko Kikuchi, Zachary Gordon

MANAGEMENT: Mike Cranshaw and Sue Claussen have a chance encounter when Sue checks into the roadside motel owned by Mike's parents in Arizona. What starts with a bottle of wine "compliments of management" soon evolves into a multi-layered, cross-country journey of two people looking for a sense of purpose. Mike, an aimless dreamer, bets it all on a trip to Sue's workplace in Maryland only to find that she has no place for him in her carefully ordered life. Buttoned down and obsessed with making a difference in the world, Sue goes back to her yogurt mogul ex-boyfriend Jango, who promises her a chance to head his charity operations. But, having found something worth fighting for, Mike pits his hopes against Sue's practicality, and the two embark on a twisted, bumpy, freeing journey to discover that their place in the world just might be together. STARRING: Jennifer Aniston, Steve Zahn, Woody Harrelson, Margo Martindale, Fred Ward

NOT FORGOTTEN: Jack Bishop lives the life of every man's dream with his beautiful wife, Amaya, and a happy, healthy daughter, Toby.

He also knows the only way he can find her is to use the powers of his long forgotten faith, La Santa Muerte, protectors of the sinner, the worshippers of the dead. Accompanied by the insecure newly-appointed sheriff and a pair of wary FBI agents, Jack's search takes him deep into his past, to a psychic who visualizes Jack's secret in terrifying detail, to the squalid barrios and seediest brothels in Mexico City's underbelly. But the power of the La Santa Muerte is stronger then he ever imagined, as it reaches out to touch his family and reveals an even darker and unexpected web of lies and deceit. STARRING: Simon Baker, Paz Vega, Melinda Page Hamilton, Michael DeLorenzo, Mark Rolston
