Is there any way, such as an iPhone app, that will let me connect my iPhone to my iMac via bluetooth, so that the iMac pushes all audio through the iPhone?

Specifically, what I'm looking to do is be able to watch movies on my iMac with the sound being played through my iPhone & in turn the ear buds.
