Lovers, cheaters and superstars line-up this May to present blockbuster movie premiers every Thursday at 9pm on Showmovies. Top titles include Juno, I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry, 21 and Iron Man.

The first premier of the month on 7 May is Juno. Facing an unplanned pregnancy, teenage Juno (Ellen Page) devises a plan to locate the proverbial perfect parents to adopt her baby. But the seemingly ideal couple Juno chooses still has some growing up to do.

Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garner play the pair of affluent yuppies anxious for a child in this offbeat coming-of-age comedy, which won the 2008 Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.

On May 14, Adam Sandler and Kevin James star as best friends and fellow fire-fighters Chuck and Larry in the hilarious comedy I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. Chuck owes Larry for saving his life and Larry calls in that favor big-time by asking Chuck to pose as his 'domestic partner' so his kids will get his pension.

But when a fact-checking bureaucrat becomes suspicious, the two straight guys are forced to improvise as love-struck newlyweds.

Jim Sturgess and Kevin Spacey star in 21 on May 21st.

This movie tells the fact-based story about six MIT students who were trained to become experts in card counting and subsequently took Vegas casinos for millions in winnings.

May 28 will see Robert Downey Jr. starring as Tony Stark/Iron Man in the story of a billionaire industrialist and genius inventor who is kidnapped and forced to build a devastating weapon.

Instead, using his intelligence and ingenuity, Tony builds a high tech suit of armor and escapes captivity. When he uncovers a nefarious plot with global implications, he dons his powerful armor and vows to protect the world as Iron Man.
