Albert Nobbs

Glenn Close scored an Oscar nomination for her portrayal of a woman posing as a man in 19th century Ireland. Forced to assume the dress and mannerisms of a man to secure a job as a butler in order to survive in the oppressive times, Albert finds his arrangement shaken up by the arrival of a stranger with a secret (Janet McTeer) and her involvement with her fellow servants (played by Mia Wasikowska and Aaron Johnson). Deleted scenes and commentary by director Rodrigo Garcia and Glenn Close are included with the DVD.

One for the Money

Katherine Heigl is Stephanie Plum, card-carrying Jersey girl and badass, in the film adaptation of Janet Evanovich's popular murder mystery series. Out-of-work Plum gets a gig working for her cousin as a bail bondswoman, and despite her lack of experience, she's got a knack for hunting down perps. Her biggest challenge is whether to get back with her momentary high school sweetheart, Joe Morelli, or give in to a fellow recovery agent's charms. Extras include featurettes and a gag reel.

Liam Neeson was on top of the box office this weekend, thanks to the debut of his new film, The Grey. The flick took in $20 million, giving it the edge over last week's winner Underworld: Evolution, which slid to second with $12.5 million. Katherine Heigl's One For the Money debuted in third with $11.7 million, followed by Red Tails with $10.4 million. Man on a Ledge rounded out the top five, taking in $8.3 million in its opening weekend.

It's cold out and cabin fever has set in. You've extensively researched (aka Facebook stalked) your New Year's kiss, emptied out your DVR, and polished off the last of those Christmas cookies. What's a girl to do? Head to the movie theater!

You won't want to miss One for the Money. Based on Janet Evanovich's best-selling novel, this boyfriend-friendly flick blends action and, of course, romance. And as the story's heroine, Katherine Heigl definitely brings the laughs. Follow her character, Stephanie Plum, a proud, born-and-bred Jersey girl who is on the trail of a murder suspect who also happens to be her high school ex-boyfriend (hilarity ensues). So, step away from the empty cookie tin and mark your calendar, One for the Money hits theaters Jan. 27!

Can't wait to see the movie? Watch the trailer below and check out the Facebook page here.

Don't think that just because Katherine Heigl is playing a bounty hunter in One For the Money that she's left her romantic comedy clichés behind. Heigl stars as Stephanie Plum, a New Jersey native who loses her job in retail and ends up working for a family member who's a bail bondsman. One of her first assignments is to nab a man, Joe Morelli (played Terra Nova's Jason O'Mara), who has skipped out on his bail bond. Even though Morelli is Stephanie's mark, he just so happens to be her ex. (Sounds an awful lot like The Bounty Hunter, no?)

Even though Heigl is treading in familiar territory, at least her character is a bit of a stretch from what we usually see from her — she's a tough-talking Jersey girl prone to whipping her shirt off if need be. From the trailer, the movie is entirely predictable, but fans of the book by Janet Evanovich will probably be curious to see Heigl as Plum. Check it out for yourself when you keep reading.

It's a good week for Hollywood actresses! Today comes the announcement of oodles of casting news in the works, as these famous ladies line up for big-screen parts.

• Katherine Heigl is taking over Reese Witherspoon's role in the long-dormant project One for the Money based on the chick lit novel by Janet Evanovich. The story follows an unemployed lingerie buyer (Heigl) who takes up bounty hunting to make some cash. I can picture Heigl balancing the working girl with the kick-buttness needed, but — to quote Izzie Stevens herself — seriously?
• Cate Blanchett is signing on for Hanna, a drama which centers around a 14-year old (Saoirse Ronan) who's been raised to be an assassin by her dad (Eric Bana). No word on Blanchett's role, but she could be a dead-ringer for Ronan's mother. Just a thought.
• James Franco is getting his leading lady for Danny Boyle's 127 Hours. And the lucky woman is: Amber Tamblyn. I'm surprised to see Tamblyn land such a juicy movie role; it's definitely overdue.
• Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland ingenue, Mia Wasikowska, continues to snap up the most sought-after parts for young actresses, adding the upcoming adaptation of Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre to her resume. She'll be playing Eyre, in a role that was originally set for Ellen Page.
• Rachel Weisz is joining Jim Sheridan's Dream House, a thriller about a husband (Daniel Craig) and wife (Naomi Watts) who move into a house that was the scene of a murdered family. Weisz is set to play their neighbor.
