New Releases

The following are new releases opening in theaters in the next week.

The Adjustment Bureau Do we control our destiny, or do unseen forces manipulate us? Matt Damon stars in the thriller The Adjustment Bureau as a man who glimpses the future Fate has planned for him and realizes he wants something else. To get it, he must pursue the only woman he's ever loved across, under and through the streets of modern-day New York. On the brink of winning a seat in the U.S. Senate, ambitious politician David Norris (Damon) meets beautiful contemporary ballet dancer Elise Sellas (Emily Blunt)—a woman like none he's ever known. But just as he realizes he's falling for her, mysterious men conspire to keep the two apart. David learns he is up against the agents of Fate itself—the men of The Adjustment Bureau—who will do everything in their considerable power to prevent David and Elise from being together. In the face of overwhelming odds, he must either let her go and accept a predetermined path…or risk everything to defy Fate and be with her. Starring Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, Anthony Mackie, Terence Stamp, John Slattery, Shohreh Aghdashloo Genre - Romance View trailers and video clips

brief strong language, some sexuality and a violent image

Beastly When a spell is cast on a handsome egocentric young man (Alex Pettyfer) that physically transforms him into everything he despises, he has one year to find a young woman (Vanessa Hudgens) who will love him despite his hideous form or the spell will last forever. Starring Vanessa Hudgens, Alex Pettyfer, Mary-Kate Olsen, Peter Krause, Lisa Gay Hamilton Genre - Romance View trailers and video clips

language including some crude comments, drug references and brief violence

Bereavement In 1989, six year old Martin Bristoll was kidnapped from his backyard swing in Minersville Pennsylvania. Graham Sutter, a psychotic recluse, kept Martin imprisoned on his derelict pig farm, forcing him to witness and participate in unspeakable horrors. Chosen at random, his victim's screams were drowned out by the rural countryside. For five years, Martin's whereabouts have remained a mystery, until 17 year old Allison Miller (Alexandra Daddario) comes to live with her Uncle, Jonathan (Michael Biehn). While exploring her new surroundings, Allison discovers things aren't quite right at the farmhouse down the road. Her curiosity disturbs a hornet's nest of evil and despair that once torn open, can never be closed. Starring Michael Biehn, Alexandra Daddario, John Savage, Peyton List, Nolan Gerard Funkl Genre - Horror View trailers and video clips

sadistic bloody violence, torture, brief language and nudity

HappyThankYouMorePlease Meet Sam (Josh Radnor), a twenty-something New York writer who can't get his career or his love life in check. After a chance encounter with an abandoned foster child throws his career into disarray, the commitment-phobic Sam meets Mississippi (Kate Mara), a beautiful bar maid and singer. He falls so hard for her that he suggests not a one-night stand, but a three-night stand – until he wakes up the next morning and realizes what he's done. But with a kid he has taken in and a woman he doesn't really know both living in his apartment, Sam starts looking at his fears of commitment in a new light. Ultimately it takes some unexpected events and a little soul searching for Sam (and his equally unlucky-in-love friends) to shake off their romantic cynicism as they define what it means to love and be loved. Starring Josh Radnor, Malin Akerman, Kate Mara, Zoe Kazan, Pablo Schreiber, Tony Hale, Michael Algieri, Richard Jenkins Genre - Comedy View trailers and video clips

language

Rango A sheltered chameleon, living as an ordinary family pet, faces a major identity crisis. After all, how high can you aim when your whole purpose in life is to blend in?

Welcomed as the last hope the town has been waiting for, new Sheriff Rango is forced to play his new role to the hilt -- until, in a blaze of action-packed situations and encounters with outrageous characters, Rango starts to become the hero he once only pretended to be.
