DEAD SPACE: DOWNFALL

Cast: Kelly Hu, Bruce Boxleitner, Jim Cummings, Kevin Michael Richardson

Synopsis: For the crew of the USG Ishimura, this is how the horror begins: On a deep space mining mission to a remote planet, an ancient religious relic – thought to be proof of the existence of God – is unearthed and brought aboard. It is worshipped by some, scorned by others. But when the unholy artifact unleashes a long- dormant alien race, its glimpse of Heaven transforms the ship into a living Hell. The chaos is immediate. The carnage is uncontrollable. And an onslaught unlike anything ever witnessed by mankind has now been set free to rip this world apart. Prepare yourself for the disturbing opening chapters of the new EA game that takes adult animation to graphic new levels of bloodshed and terror. This is DEAD SPACE: DOWNFALL.

HANK AND MIKE

Cast: Chris Klein, Joe Mantegna, Maggie Castle, Paolo Mancini, Thomas Michael

Synopsis: Hank and Mike are best friends – and Easter bunnies. They’re a kind of yin and yang - Felix and Oscar duo. Hank (Thomas Michael) smokes, swears and spends time with “ladies of the night”. His feelings about Easter can be summed up in his favorite saying: “Fuckin’ kids and their fuckin’ chocolate.” Mike (Paolo Mancini) is a bundle of insecurities whose entire life is defined by his job. He can’t even ask a girl out or stand up for himself without Hank’s help. As Easter Bunnies, they sneak into people’s houses at night and hand-deliver baskets of Easter eggs to little kids. They have worked for many years for Mr. Pan (Joe Mantegna) at Easter Enterprises, a division of a multi-national corporation that owns all holidays. In an effort to increase profits, the firm’s board of directors, have called in Conrad Hubriss (Chris Klein), an efficiency expert to trim fat and get the company’s profits back in order.

HELL RIDE

Cast: Dennis Hopper, Eric Balfour, Leonor Varela, Michael Madsen, Vinnie Jones

Synopsis: HELL RIDE is a raucous throwback to the days of the Sergio Leone spaghetti western, with a heaping helping of testosterone-fueled chopper action thrown into the mix. Writer/director Larry Bishop takes on a third role as Pistolero, head honcho of the Victors, a group of badass bikers who are out to avenge the murder of one of their members at the hands of the 666ers, a rival gang whose actions live up to their hellish moniker. Along with his cohorts, the Gent (deviously portrayed by Michael Madsen) and the mysterious Comanche (Eric Balfour), Pistolero aims to take down the Deuce and Billy Wings, menacing leaders of the 666ers, but a mutiny looms on the horizon when his commitment to profit is questioned by a few of his fellow Victors. An even larger story unravels when previously unknown information about Comanche resurrects ghosts from Pistolero’s past.

JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH 3D

Cast: Brendan Fraser, Josh Hutcherson, Anita Briem, Jane Wheeler, Seth Meyers

Synopsis: No one believes that Trevor Anderson (Brendan Fraser) is on to something. The science professor's unconventional hypotheses have put him on the fringe of the academic community. But during an expedition in Iceland, Trevor and his teenage nephew, Sean (Josh Hutcherson), accompanied by their beautiful local guide, Hannah (Anita Briem), make a breakthrough discovery that launches them on a thrilling adventure into the unknown. As their journey takes them deep beneath the Earth's surface, they travel through never-before-seen worlds that bring them face-to-face with surreal and unimaginable scientist's own imagination.

KIT KITTREDGE: AN AMERICAN GIRL MYSTERY

Cast: Abigail Breslin, Chris O'Donnell, Joan Cusack, Julia Ormond, Stanley Tucci

Synopsis: Bright, inquisitive and generous, Kit is a natural born leader. But her happy childhood is abruptly interrupted when her father (Chris O'Donnell) loses his car dealership and must leave Cincinnati to look for work. Kit and her mother Margaret (Julia Ormond) are left to manage on their own, growing vegetables, selling eggs and even taking in an assortment of boarders including an itinerant magician (Stanley Tucci), a vivacious dance instructor on the prowl for a husband (Jane Krakowski) and a zany mobile librarian (Joan Cusack).

RED

Cast: Tom Sizemore, Amanda Plummer, Brian Cox, Noel Fisher, Robert Englund

Synopsis: Avery Allan Ludlow (Brian Cox), a Korean War vet with a tragic past, lives alone in a small town, where he runs the local hardware store. Av’s only companion is a 14 year-old ginger-haired dog, aptly named Red by Av’s late wife. One day, Av and Red are enjoying a placid outing at their favorite fishing spot when three boys and a shotgun come along. In an instant, Av’s lifelong friend is gone, the victim of a cruel, senseless act. Devastated, Av determines to find out who the boys are and why they did it. Helped by a local reporter (Dickens), Av tries to expose the truth, but his efforts are ignored by authorities and mocked by the teenagers. The boys’ parents, a rich local businessman (Sizemore) and, across town, a hardscrabble laborer (Englund) and his wife (Plummer), are just as determined to keep Av down. But, faithful to the memory of his best friend, Av single-mindedly presses for justice—with or without the law on his side.

TINKER BELL

Cast: Anjelica Huston, Jesse McCartney, Kristin Chenoweth, Mae Whitman, Rob Paulsen

Synopsis: Enter the magical world of fairies and meet the enchanting creatures of Pixie Hollow, who “nurture nature” and bring about the change of the seasons. Changing the colors of the leaves, moving a sunbeam to melt snow, waking animals from their winter slumber, or giving a patch of sproutlings a sprinkle of water are all within the realm of these seasonal specialists. Tinker Bell thinks her fairy talent as a “tinker” isn’t as special or important as the other fairies’ talents. But when Tink tries to change who she is, she creates nothing but disaster! With encouragement from her friends Rosetta, Silvermist, Fawn and Iridessa, Tink learns the key to solving her problems lies in her unique tinker abilities…and discovers that when she’s true to herself, magical things can happen.

ZOMBIE STRIPPERS

Cast: Jenna Jameson, Robert Englund, Jennifer Holland, Roxy Saint, Tito Ortiz

Synopsis: Nightmare on Elm Street's Robert Englund star in 'Zombie Strippers.'

As one of the strippers gets the virus, she turns into a supernatural, flesh-eating zombie stripper, making her the hit of the club. Do the rest of the girls fight the temptation to be like the star stripper, even if there is no turning back? Also featuring Roxy Saint (of the Goth band Roxy Saint and the Blackouts) and Ultimate Fighting Champion Tito Ortiz, 'Zombie Strippers' is a sexy, bloody, hilarious good time!
