Nikki (Ashton Kutcher) isn't a gigolo. He's a sexual grifter, a fun-loving, freeloading hipster who understands his greatest assets are his looks and sexual prowess, which he uses to charm his way into the hearts of the city's richest women and enjoy their lifestyle. Nikki gets a free place to live, fantastic gifts, A-list access, and plenty of sex. The women get to feel young, beautiful... and utterly fulfilled in the bedroom. It's a mutually beneficial set-up.

 

But then he meets a gorgeous waitress his own age named Heather. Unbeknownst to Nikki, Heather lives by playing the same game.  Sexually charged by a game of one-upsmanship, each shows the other their best grifts, and they unexpectedly begin falling in love - the one thing they can't do in the life they lead.

 

In this clip from SPREAD, Nikki meets Heather in a bar and soon follow with some dirty dancing.  Watch Ashton Kutcher bust some pretty sexy moves on the dance floor.

HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE

In theatres on July 15

Harry Potter is back in the sixth installment of the boy wizard based on the J.K Rowling's books.  In this film clip (I Killed Sirius Black) from HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE, Harry takes on Bellatrix Lestrange (Helena Bonham Carter) who killed Harry's uncle Sirius Black (Gary Oldman) in HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX.    

 

Movie Synopsis: 

Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching.

Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort's defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information. Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn't counted on Romilda Vane's chocolates! And then there's Hermione, simmering with jealousy but determined not to show her feelings. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.


This film has been rated PG for scary images, some violence, language and mild sensuality.


Cast: Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Jim Broadbent, Helena Bonham Carter, Robbie Coltrane, Warwick Davis, Michael Gambon, Alan Rickman, Maggie Smith, Timothy Spall, David Thewlis, Julie Walters, David Bradley, Jessie Cave, Frank Dillane, Tom Felton, Matthew Lewis, Evanna Lynch, Helen McCrory, Natalia Tena, Hero Fiennes Tiffin, Bonnie Wright
