Either way they'll all be hanging out on shomi™ soon thanks to a new deal with Entertainment One (eOne). Beginning in May, shomi will add more than 175 movies including the drama Tinker Tailor Solider Spy, family favourite Gnomeo & Juliet, Canadian cult-comedy Fubar, and the romance Seeking a Friend for the End of the World.

Skip right to the action with law breakers (Shoot 'Em Up,), law upholders (Dredd), special-ops agents (Killer Elite), and survivors (The Grey). Or head out of this world with sci-fi flicks Pan Dorum and Pan's Labyrinth. Just don't forget about award winning-dramas like Zero Dark Thirty, The Hurt Locker, and the Tarantino classic Pulp Fiction. Too stressful? Relax by the campfire with cult-classic Wet Hot American Summer, go for a ride with Adventureland, and get front row access to one of today's most popular comedians with Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain. Or share the screen with the rest of the family with the kid-approved Coraline and Hoodwinked./p>
