Short Story:
Mia Wasikowska and Michael Fassbender star in this romantic drama based on the famous novel by Charlotte Brontë.

Red Riding Hood
Short Story:
Panic strikes a village when a girl is killed by a local werewolf. When the town learns that the monster takes on human form by day, the victim's sister Valerie (Amanda Seyfried) worries the killer might turn out to be someone she knows.
What They're Saying:
"(Director Catherine) Hardwicke's slightly above average track record probably keeps this movie from being a complete stinker, but it's hard to imagine it blowing critics away. Because, behind the fairy tale remake aspect, this looks like just another werewolf movie." - Cinemablend.com
"Red Riding Hood has the distinct odor of creative revenge, as if Hardwicke is straining to prove she shouldn't have been kicked off the Twilight gravy train." - St. Petersburg Times
Good For Kids?
Red Riding Hood is one twisted bedtime story you won't want the kids to see.

Mars Needs Moms
Short Story:
When Martians abduct 9-year-old Milo's (Seth Green) mom to help raise their own young, he quickly realizes how much he needs her -- and he'll stop at nothing to get her back.
What They're Saying:
"Working against an ungainly title and a rather formulaic marketing campaign, (Mars Needs Moms) is a modestly enjoyable performance-capture creation." - Variety
"The skill level of this motion capture animation is getting better all the time. So Mars is accomplished at every level. But the three most important things in movies are story, story, story." - Hollywood Reporter
Good For Kids?
This PG-rated animated film is sci-fi fun for the whole family.
Battle: Los Angeles
Short Story:
After Earth is attacked by extra-terrestrial forces, L.A. becomes the last battle ground for mankind. It's up to Sergeant Michael Nantz (Aaron Eckhart) and his team of forces to save the planet from an untimely doomsday.
What They're Saying:
"There's a certain grittiness to the way director Jonathan Liebesman has put together the film. He's eschewed the big, over the top, special effects and seems to have focused on making a war movie that just happens to pit humans against aliens. From that standpoint, this could be good." - Cinemablend.com
"As corny and predictable as it sometimes seems, this Battle works on a visceral level, playing out like a video game that's got you hooked." - Thejournaltimes.com
Good For Kids?
This PG-13 action-thriller is a little too scary for the little ones.

In case you missed...
Rango
Short Story:
When a household pet chameleon named Rango (Johnny Depp) sets out on a journey of self-discovery, he accidentally stumbles upon the town of Dirt, a lawless outpost in the Wild West. Coincidentally, the town is in need of a new sheriff -- and Rango is just the man for the job.
What They're Saying:
"Johnny Depp isn't the sort of star to blend in, so it's saying something that his turn as the world's most conspicuous chameleon in Rango is so full-bodied, you forget the actor and focus on the character." - Variety
"It's refreshing to see an animated movie that doesn't look as though the idea for the Happy Meal came first." - Arizona Republic
Good For Kids?
The kids will love this animated adventure. But don't be surprised if they ask for a pet chameleon!
The Adjustment Bureau
Short Story:
Ambitious politician David Norris (Matt Damon) couldn't be happier after falling in love with Elise Sellas (Emily Blunt). But soon the couple's sweet romance is derailed by a group of mysterious men who conspire to keep them apart.
What They're Saying:
"The actors' romantic scenes excel. Just sitting side by side on a bus, their sexual connection crackles." - Us Weekly
"The zing here comes from echoes of The Manchurian Candidate, as well as the paranoid doominess of source author Philip K. Dick (whose 1954 short story gets completely revised)." - Time Out New York
Good For Kids?
This romantic sci-fi thriller will be appreciated most by teens and adults.
Beastly
Short Story:
This love story puts a modern-day spin on the classic fairytale Beauty and the Beast. Handsome-but-mean Kyle Kingson (Alex Pettyfer) is transformed into a beast by a mysterious classmate (Mary-Kate Olsen) -- and the only way to reverse the curse is find someone to love him for who he is.
What They're Saying:
"Witty, warm, well-cast and often wickedly funny, it lets Vanessa Hudgens shine and Alex Pettyfer give a hint of what all the fuss over him is about." - Orlando Sentinel
"There is one good thing you can say about Beastly: The title perfectly sums up what you'll see on screen." - Arizona Republic
Good For Kids?
Beastly is the perfect flick to send a message of acceptance to teens.
Take Me Home Tonight
Short Story:
Recent MIT grad Matt Franklin (Topher Grace) is thrilled to get invited to a party by his high school crush (Teresa Palmer). With his twin sister (Anna Faris) and best friend (Dan Fogler) by his side, Matt sets out on a hilarious evening filled with pranks, dance-offs and unforgettable moments.
What They're Saying:
"Misses the Hughes sensitive-raunch sweet spot, though a game supporting cast hits bull's-eyes on lesser targets." - Time Out New York
"Take Me Home Tonight is a pleasant-enough all-in-one-night comedy, featuring a protagonist facing the classic Graduate-like existential dilemma of post-college paralysis." - Variety
Good For Kids?
This R-rated comedy is filled with amusing-but-raunchy humor. It's definitely not a kid-friendly flick!
