Cop Out
Two longtime NYPD partners on the trail of a stolen, rare, mint-condition baseball card find themselves up against a merciless, memorabilia-obsessed gangster. But before they can recover the prized '52 Pafko, they must first rescue a Mexican beauty who holds the key to millions of dollars in off-shore bank accounts—and who has already witnessed one high-profile murder because of them.
Veteran detective Jimmy Monroe (Bruce Willis) needs to cash in on his perfect Pafko in order to pay for his daughter's upcoming wedding, but in the tradition of everything that can go wrong... it's pilfered before he has a chance to collect. Paul Hodges (Tracy Morgan) is Jimmy's "partner-against-crime," whose preoccupation with his wife's alleged infidelity makes it hard for him to keep his eye on the ball, or his mind on the crime. Already in trouble and with nothing left to lose, Jimmy and Paul will have to break all the rules—including enlisting the aid of stoner thief Dave (Seann William Scott), who's working Paul's last nerve as Paul and Jimmy try to work the case.

The Losers
An explosive action tale of betrayal and revenge, The Losers centers around the members of an elite Special Forces unit sent to the Bolivian jungle on a search and destroy mission. But the team—Clay, Jensen, Roque, Pooch and Cougar—soon find that they have become the target of a deadly double cross, instigated from the inside by a powerful enemy known only as Max.
Making good use of the fact that they are now presumed dead, the group goes deep undercover in a dangerous plot to clear their names and even the score with Max. They are joined by the mysterious Aisha, a beautiful operative with her own agenda, who is more than capable of scoring a few points of her own. Working together, when they're not arguing amongst themselves, they have to stay one step ahead of the globetrotting Max—a ruthless man bent on embroiling the world in a new high-tech global war for his own benefit. If they can take down Max and save the world at the same time, it'll be a win-win for the team now known as The Losers.

Mother
Mother is a devoted single parent to her simple-minded 27-year-old son, Do-joon. Often a source of anxiety to his mother, Do-joon behaves in foolish or simply dangerous ways. One night, while walking home drunk, he encounters a school girl who he follows for a while before she disappears into a dark alley. The next morning, she is found dead in an abandoned building and Do-joon is accused of her murder. An inefficient lawyer and an apathetic police force result in a speedy conviction.
His mother refuses to believe her beloved son is guilty and immediately undertakes her own investigation to find the girl's killer. In her obsessive quest to clear her son’s name, Mother steps into a world of unimaginable chaos and shocking revelations.

Clash of the Titans
In Clash of the Titans, the ultimate struggle for power pits men against kings and kings against gods. But the war between the gods themselves could destroy the world. Born of a god but raised as a man, Perseus (Sam Worthington) is helpless to save his family from Hades (Ralph Fiennes), vengeful god of the underworld. With nothing left to lose, Perseus volunteers to lead a dangerous mission to defeat Hades before he can seize power from Zeus (Liam Neeson) and unleash hell on earth.
Leading a daring band of warriors, Perseus sets off on a perilous journey deep into forbidden worlds. Battling unholy demons and fearsome beasts, he will only survive if he can accept his power as a god, defy his fate and create his own destiny.

The Runaways
Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning star in this music-fueled, coming of age story of the groundbreaking, all girl, teenage rock band of the 1970s—The Runaways.
Los Angeles 1975. Joan Jett (Kristen Stewart) and Cherie Currie (Dakota Fanning), two teenage valley girls with punk in their blood, meet and become the heart and soul of the seminal all girl band, The Runaways. Under the Svengali-like influence of rock impresario Kim Fowley (Michael Shannon), the group evolves into an outrageous success and a family of misfits.
With its tough-chick image and raw talent, the band quickly earns a name for itself—and so do its two leads: Joan is the band's pure rock 'n 'roll heart, while Cheri, with her Bowie-Bardot looks, is the sex kitten

Mother
Mother is a devoted single parent to her simple-minded 27-year-old son, Do-joon. Often a source of anxiety to his mother, Do-joon behaves in foolish or simply dangerous ways. One night, while walking home drunk, he encounters a school girl who he follows for a while before she disappears into a dark alley. The next morning, she is found dead in an abandoned building and Do-joon is accused of her murder. An inefficient lawyer and an apathetic police force result in a speedy conviction.
His mother refuses to believe her beloved son is guilty and immediately undertakes her own investigation to find the girl's killer. In her obsessive quest to clear her son’s name, Mother steps into a world of unimaginable chaos and shocking revelations.

Middle of Nowhere
A pair of co-workers at a small-town water park—restless troublemaker Dorian (Anton Yelchin) and the tightly wound Grace (Eva Amurri)—form an unlikely bond when Dorian cooks up an illicit plan to earn big money. With no assistance from a flaky, free-spending mom (Susan Sarandon) and competition from a sexy younger sister (Willa Holland), Grace needs all the help she can get if she's going to make it to college.

Another rainy day in the valley! Lots of splashes going on at the lights by our building!

This past weekend the Summer Fun Cruiser and I were all over the place in the valley. 

Friday night started off at the opening ceremonies for the Western GM Pee Wee Provincials in Fastpitch. It was the first time Drumheller has hosted the event and  had the ceremonial first pitch by a representative of Western GM Pat Mohan, and the honorable Mayor Bryce Nimmo. The girls won their first two games on Friday.

Saturday morning was spend in Rumsey for the homecoming. The cruiser was featured in their parade and a special thanks to all the fans screaming 'DrumFM Rocks!' We love hearing it!! Saturday afternoon I headed back to the Newcastle Ball Diamonds to cheer on the girls in their game at 3:00 pm. Since they lost in the morning, they had to win this game in order to continue. The Richardsons Bulk Sales Young Guns played against undefeated team Coronation Steelers, it was a tough game and the girls lost 13 - 16. Sara Turnbull (above) pitched her last game with the Richardsons Bulk Sales Young Guns and was awarded MVP for that game.

Sunday bright and early I headed to Hanna for the Gun Show. When they said they had 200 tables with people from Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario they weren't joking. The place was packed with antique firearms, ammunition, knives, coins and much much more!

and finally Sunday evening I spend at up at the Stampede Grounds for the IMCA Modifieds, IMCA Stock Cars and Hobby Stock Dirt Oval Racing. It was a little of a late start, but fun to watch the competitive spirit of the drivers and enjoyed the Tummy Yummy Treats that were their with mini donuts, snow cones, cotton candy! all the good stuff!

Next weekend the Summer Fun Cruiser and I will head out to the Rockyford Rodeo all day Saturday and on Sunday I will check out the White Elephant Sale at the old Liquidation World in the Co-op Mall.
