MOVIES THIS WEEK

Release Date: March 28, 2008

Cast: Kate Bosworth, Kevin Spacey, Laurence Fishburne, Jack McGee, Jim Sturgess

Synopsis: Columbia Pictures' high stakes action adventure 21 is inspired by the true story of the very brightest young minds in the country -- and how they took Vegas for millions.
Ben Campbell (Jim Sturgess) is a shy, brilliant M.I.T. student who -- needing to pay school tuition -- finds the answers in the cards. He is recruited to join a group of the school's most gifted students that heads to Vegas every weekend armed with fake identities and the know-how to turn the odds at blackjack in their favor. With unorthodox math professor and stats genius Micky Rosa (Kevin Spacey) leading the way, they've cracked the code. By counting cards and employing an intricate system of signals, the team can beat the casinos big time. Seduced by the money, the Vegas lifestyle, and by his smart and sexy teammate, Jill Taylor (Kate Bosworth), Ben begins to push the limits. Though counting cards isn't illegal, the stakes are high, and the challenge becomes not only keeping the numbers straight, but staying one step ahead of the casinos' menacing enforcer: Cole Williams (Laurence Fishburne).

STOP LOSS

Cast: Channing Tatum, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ryan Phillippe, Timothy Olyphant, Rob Brown

Synopsis: Decorated Iraq war hero Sgt. Brandon King makes a celebrated return to his small Texas hometown following his tour of duty. Brandon tries to resume the life he left behind with the help and support of his family and his best friend, Steve Shriver, who served with him in Iraq. Alongside their war-time buddies, Brandon and Steve try to make peace with civilian life. Then, against Brandon's will, the Army orders him back to duty in Iraq. This upends Brandon's entire world. The conflict into which he is thrown tests everything he believes in: the bond of family, the loyalty of friendship, the limits of love, and the value of honor.

SUPERHERO MOVIE

Cast: Drake Bell, Sara Paxton, Leslie Nielsen, Christopher McDonald, Kevin Hart

Synopsis: How many superheroes does it take to save the world? The creators of ‘The Naked Gun’ and ‘Scary Movie’ answer this question in hysterical ‘David Zucker’ fashion with the uproarious comedy ‘Superhero Movie.’ Meet Rick Riker. He’s young, he’s cool and he’s got superpowers. Now, if he only knew how to use them…but the world is in danger and no one is safe when Zucker and the gang, headed by the hilarious cast of Drake Bell, Leslie Nielsen, Tracy Morgan, Pamela Anderson, Regina Hall and many others, take aim at some of the biggest blockbusters of our time including Spider-man, Batman, X-Men, Fantastic Four, to name a few. On March 28th, learning to fly, spinning a web and busting a gut has never been this much fun.

He enters a marathon to show he’s more than a quitter but then finds out just how much sweat, strain and tears it takes to run for 26 miles. Nobody gives him a chance but Dennis knows this is his only hope to more than a running joke.
