IRON MAN 3– Opens 05/02/13 

Marvel Studios’ “Iron Man 3” pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy’s hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him.

It is thus that Nick is drawn into the captivating world of the super rich, their illusions, loves and deceits. As Nick bears witness, within and without the world he inhabits, he pens a tale of impossible love, incorruptible dreams and high-octane tragedy, and holds a mirror to our own modern times and struggles.

42 – OPENS 04/11/13 @ 10pm!

Hero is a word we hear often in sports, but heroism is not always about achievements on the field of play. “42” tells the story of two men the great Jackie Robinson and legendary Brooklyn Dodgers GM Branch Rickey whose brave stand against prejudice forever changed the world by changing the game of baseball. In 1946, Branch Rickey (Harrison Ford) put himself at the forefront of history when he signed Jackie Robinson (Chadwick Boseman) to the team, breaking Major League Baseball’s infamous color line. But the deal also put both Robinson and Rickey in the firing line of the public, the press and even other players. Facing unabashed racism from every side, Robinson was forced to demonstrate tremendous courage and restraint by not reacting in kind, knowing that any incident could destroy his and Rickey’s hopes. Instead, Number 42 let his talent on the field do the talking ultimately winning over fans and his teammates, silencing his critics, and paving the way for others to follow.

Reluctantly drawn into the epic  problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is  good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use  through illusion, ingenuity–and even a bit of wizardry–Oscar transforms  himself not only into the great and powerful Wizard of Oz but into a better man  as well.

When BASA’s  no-nonsense chief Lena (Jessica Alba) informs the brothers of an SOS from a  notoriously dangerous planet, Scorch rejects Gary’s warnings and bounds off for  yet another exciting mission. But when Scorch finds himself caught in a fiendish  trap set by the evil Shanker (James Gandolfini), it’s up to scrawny,  risk-adverse Gary to do the real rescuing. As the interplanetary stakes rise to  new heights, Gary is left to save his brother, his planet, his beloved wife Kira  (Sarah Jessica Parker) and their adventure hungry son Kip.

IDENTITY THIEF – OPENS 02/07/13 @ 10pm!

“Horrible Bosses'” Jason Bateman and “Bridesmaids'” Melissa McCarthy lead the cast of “Identity Thief,” an all-star comedy in which a regular guy is forced to extreme measures to clear his name. With everything to lose after his identity is stolen, he’ll find out how crazed you can get trying to settle a bad credit score.

Unlimited funds have allowed Diana (McCarthy) to live it up on the outskirts of Miami, where the queen of retail buys whatever strikes her fancy. There’s only one glitch: The ID she’s using to finance these sprees reads “Sandy Bigelow Patterson”… and it belongs to an accounts rep (Bateman) who lives halfway across the U.S.

With only one week to hunt down the con artist before his world implodes, the real Sandy Bigelow Patterson heads south to confront the woman with an all-access pass to his life. And as he attempts to bribe, coax and wrangle her the 2,000 miles to Denver, one easy target will discover just how tough it is to get your name back.
