Flip through the latest issue of Gulf Weekly.
October is shaping up to be an exciting month on Star Movies with a variety of films airing for the first time in the Middle East.
The first of the Friday night movies, which will show at 9.30pm each week, is Yours Mine and Ours starring Dennis Quaid, Rene Russo and Linda Hunt.
Based on the 1968 comedy with Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda, this comedy tells the chaotic tale of two huge families coming together.
Helen (Russo) is the free-spirited mother of 10, including six adopted children of various races. In contrast, Admiral Frank Beardsley (Quaid) has eight well-trained over achievers.
When former sweethearts Helen and Frank impulsively wed, there is chaos as the different clans share bedrooms and bathroom time and devious plans are hatched to break up the extended family.
Next up, on October 17, is Goal starring Kuno Becker, Alessandro Nivola and Anna Friel.
As an underprivileged Mexican-American growing up in Los Angeles, Santiago Munez (Becker) seems destined to follow in his labourer father's footsteps until the naturally gifted youngster is spotted by a British talent scout who arranges a try-out with Premiership football club Newcastle United.
Now alone in a world where soccer is a religion and players are gods, he must prove he's got what it takes to make it among the best of the best.
October 24 will feature Smother starring Diane Keaton, Dax Shepard and Liv Tyler.
Noah Cooper (Shepard) is not a happy man. He's been fired from his job, wife Clare (Tyler) is nagging him to start a family. Her nerdy cousin has come to stay and, as if that's not bad enough, just when he thought things couldn't get any worse, his smothering, over protective mother (Keaton) turns up on his doorstep having left her husband.
And for Halloween, October 31, fittingly, brings us spoof horror shocker Scary Movie 4 with Anna Faris, Chingy and Regina Hall.
Faris reprises her role as Cindy Campbell, the eternally unlucky and hilariously clumsy heroine who, in a dead-on parody of The Grudge, is assigned as nurse to a mysterious old lady in a haunted house.
The movie takes a pot shot at War of the Worlds as neighbour Tom Ryan (Craig Bierko) has to protect his kids from an alien invasion and along the way Scary Movie 4 manages to spoof The Village, Saw, Brokeback Mountain and Million Dollar Baby.
So stay tuned to Star Movies every Friday night throughout this month.
