Screenhead’s latest giveaway for the upcoming film One For The Money starring Katherine Heigl is strictly fashionable and we have our two winners: Laura Emerson and Chadro!  Both winners tweeted their favorite Stephanie Plum book and enter to win and won!

Each prize package consists of lipstick pen / notepad set and a tote bag.

One for the Money opened on January 27th and did fairly well at the box office; it is still in the top ten.

A proud, born-and-bred Jersey girl, Stephanie Plum’s got plenty of attitude, even if she’s been out of work for the last six months and just lost her car to a debt collector.

Now she is desperate for some fast cash. Stephanie turns to her last resort: convincing her sleazy cousin to give her a job at his bail bonding company…as a recovery agent. True, she doesn’t even own a pair of handcuffs and her weapon of choice is pepper spray, but that doesn’t stop Stephanie from taking on Vinny’s biggest bail-jumper: former vice cop and murder suspect Joe Morelli – yup, the same sexy, irresistible Joe Morelli who seduced and dumped her back in high school.

Nabbing Morelli would be satisfying payback – and a hefty payday – but as Stephanie learns the ins and outs of becoming a recovery agent from Ranger, a hunky colleague who’s the best in the business, she also realizes the case against Morelli isn’t airtight. Add to the mix her meddling family, a potentially homicidal boxer, witnesses who keep dying and the problem of all those flying sparks when she finds Morelli himself…well, suddenly Stephanie’s new job isn’t nearly as easy as she thought.

The trailer is funny. I sure hope the movie is too.

I just love documentaries that educate on various aspects about our planet that I never knew. To think that I live in California, I never caught on that our coast is part of the Ring of Fire.

Narrated by Robert Foxworth and featuring breathtaking cinematography, including extensive aerial photography, from the U.S., Japan, Chile, Indonesia and the Philippines, where – at great personal risk – the world’s top geologists, anthropologists, computer animators and filmmakers spent over seven years documenting this unpredictable and awe-inspiring phenomenon.

Tropical Rainforest takes you deep into some of the most exotic and mysterious jungles on Earth for a one-of-a-kind exploration.

From extreme close-ups to tree-top panoramas, experience these treasured environments on their own terms—with curious insects, gaudy frogs, startling snakes, vibrant birds, extraordinary animals, exotic plants and dazzling flowers. Will thousands become extinct before they can even be discovered?

On behalf of Anchor Bay Entertainment and The Weinstein Company, I am pleased to announce the two winners of The Company Men giveaway! They are Beth T. and Ernest Wilsen, congratulations!

Beth T. says, “Hey, thanks for the chance to enter. This one passed me by completely, even though we usually keep an eye out for Tommy Lee Jones. You are welcome Beth!

Ernest had this to say, “Amazing listing you keep.” Yes, Ernest we love the list of movies on Screenhead and we hope you visit often.

Thank you to all who entered the giveaway. We had a great group on postings and comments about the actors and the movie.

The Company Men is an uplifting and perceptive motion picture about corporate downsizing, the drama stars Academy Award winners Ben Affleck, Chris Cooper, Kevin Costner and Tommy Lee Jones.

TIME Magazine’s Richard Corliss calls The Company Men “rich and thoughtful.” Says The New York Observer’s Rex Reed, “The Company Men is a timely, intelligently written, beautifully acted film of great sensitivity and wisdom about corporate downsizing that will make you think. An absolute triumph.” Writes Entertainment Weekly’s Owen Gleiberman, “Grade A. Juicy, timely and terrifically engrossing. John Wells is a sensational writer and a real storyteller.

The DVD hits the streets June 7, 2011. I saw the movie last week on DVD. I was quite impressed with the acting and storytelling.  Ben Affleck carried the movie with Tommy Lee Jones even though they were not in a lot of scenes together.  Their emotional pain of losing a job came through in a very deep way.  Kevin Costner was excellent as was Chris Cooper. Maria Bello held her own with Tommy Lee Jones. You want to see this movie.

We have our two winners for the below prize package! Our first winner is Sand, who says, “I look forward to the movie.”  Yes Sand, the movie is out on DVD and download.  I am sure you’ll have a great time watching it. Owen Wilson is funny!

Our second winner is David Basile, who says, “Looks like it will give us some laughs.”  Yes David, you’ll have a bunch of laughs as you watch this movie.

But, the movie does point out one question we must all wonder about: How much trouble can one get when his wife gives him a Hall Pass…A week off from marriage to do whatever you want without consequences?  Find out what happens to Rick (Owen Wilson) and Fred (Jason Sudeikis) during their adventure in Hall Pass!

To spread the word about the movies, on Demand, for Download, and Blu-ray combo has hit the streets! Thanks everyone for participating in the giveaway.  Think of it as a Father’s Day surprise!

Witness an exorcism performed by legendary Father Lucas (Anthony Hopkins) in The Rite.

Believe it or not, this movie is inspired by true events and is on the streets wherever DVDs are rented and sold. Screenhead worked with Warner Bros to help promote the thriller. We ran a giveaway for three lucky winners of a movie night package. It includes a free iTunes download of The Rite and a coupon for a large pizza from Papa John’s. We had a lot of interested readers in this giveaway but only three winners. Alas!

Here are our winners. Lynda E. says, “This kind of stuff scares the bejeebers out of me, but I’ll probably watch it anyway.”

Em Savidge says, “Love Papa John’s – and would love to win this movie – great prize combo (all it lacks is beer!)”

Dara Nix says, “We LOVE Papa John’s AND Anthony Hopkins in this house.”

So, thank you for offering your comments. It’s been a great giveaway.

This is what Lynda, Em and Dara won:

Papa John’s Pizza Card
iTunes gift card for the purchase of the movie.

Watch it your way: On Demand, For Download or on Blu-ray combo pack.

Inspired by true events, this supernatural thriller follows a seminary student (Colin O’Donoghue) sent to study exorcism at the Vatican in spite of his own doubts about the controversial practice and even his own faith.

Only when sent to apprentice with legendary Father Lucas (Anthony Hopkins), who has performed thousand of exorcisms, does his armor of skepticism begin to fall. Drawn into a troubling case that seems to transcend even Father Lucas’s skill, the young seminarian glimpses a phenomenon science can’t explain or control – and an evil so violent and terrifying that it forces him to question everything he believes.  What do you believe!?

I am such a Harry Potter fan. I started reading the Harry Potter books to my daughter before she could read. And now, she has read them all by herself.

With that said, I am so excited that Screenhead picked our winners: The first winner is Mhae, and she says, “My Bother and I are huge fans of Harry Potter since the beginning.”  Eric Brevning is the other winner, and he says, “I have seen it several times; it is a great movie.”

I want to thank everyone for entering the giveaway.  If you like, you can even watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallow Part 1 NOW, On Demand.  Plus, you can also check out the Official Harry Potter Podcast.

Mhae and Eric both won the following prizes:

• iTunes download of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1
• T-shirt (adult size)
• Keychain
• iPhone sticker skin

Harry, Ron and Hermione set out on their perilous mission to track down and destroy the secret to Voldemort’s immortality and destruction – the Horcruxes. On their own and on the run, the three friends must now rely on one another more than ever…but Dark Forces in their midst threaten to tear them apart.

Meanwhile the wizarding world has become a dangerous place. The long-feared war has begun and the Dark Lord has seized control of the Ministry of Magic and even Hogwarts, terrorizing and arresting all who might oppose him. The Chosen One has become the hunted one as the Death Eaters search for Harry with orders to bring him to Voldemort…alive.

We have three winners!

Screenhead held a giveaway for the romantic comedy called When Harry Tries to Marry. The movie stars Rahul Rai and Stefanie Estes. It is a cross-cultural romantic comedy about an Indian-American boy and his thoughts on dating, arranged marriages and ultimately love. In celebration of the movie, Screenhead has picked three winners for each Prize Package!

The Prize Packages Include:

When Harry Tries to Marry follows the young Indian-born bachelor who lives in New York City. Harry’s handsome and charming, but he’s cynical about love. He’s never really gotten over his parents’ divorce — they were a modern Indian couple who married for love and it didn’t last. So to improve his odds of living “happily ever after,” Harry decides to have an arranged marriage, and asks his uncle back home in India to assist him in arranging the introduction to an appropriate Indian woman.
