MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Profanity)
Genre: Science Fiction
Director: Andrew Patterson

Works not because of anything surprising in the story but because the filmmakers have paid such attention to the way in which it is crafted that it unfolds effortlessly and with great panache.

MPAA Rating: "R" (Profanity, Sexual Content, Violence)

Genre: Fantasy

MPAA Rating: "R" (Violence, Profanity)
Genre: Thriller
Director: Vaughn Stein
Cast: Lily Collins, Simon Pegg, Connie Nielsen, Chace Crawford, Patrick Warburton, Marque Richardson, Michael Beach
Despite a few effective “gotcha!” moments and Pegg’s performance, the movie is too artificial and undercooked to work.

Director: Frank Oz
Cast: Steve Martin, Michael Caine, Glenne Headly, Anton Rodgers, Ian McDiarmid, Ian McDiarmid
A comedy caper that relies more on the charm of its stars than the twistiness of its narrative, "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" isn’t quite clever enough to justify the full 110-minute running length.

Genre: Animated
Director: Tony Cervone
Cast: Will Forte, Mark Wahlberg, Jason Isaacs, Gina Rodriguez, Zac Efron, Amanda Seyfried, Kiersey Clemons, Ken Jeong, Tracy Morgan, Frank Welker, Billy West & Don Messick
Tries to do a little too much and runs too long but it’s an affable mix of nostalgia and family-friendly animated action/adventure.

Genre: Drama
