In the year 1752, Joshua and Naomi Collins, with young son Barnabas, set sail from Liverpool, England to start a new life in America. But even an ocean was not enough to escape the mysterious curse that has plagued their family. Two decades pass and Barnabas (Johnny Depp) has the world at his feet-or at least the town of Collinsport, Maine. The master of Collinwood Manor, Barnabas is rich, powerful and an inveterate playboy…until he makes the grave mistake of breaking the heart of Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green). A witch, in every sense of the word, Angelique dooms him to a fate worse than death: turning him into a vampire, and then burying him alive. Two centuries later, Barnabas is inadvertently freed from his tomb and emerges into the very changed world of 1972. He returns to his ancestral home, where his dysfunctional descendants are in need of his protection.
Double the action. Double the terror. Double the D’s. Having awoken from their spring break extravaganza at Lake Victoria, the pre-historic school of blood-thirsty piranhas make their way into a newly opened waterpark where when it comes to fun, nobody does it wetter! Though they came to get wet, get loaded and get some, the staff and patrons get more than they bargained for when they must face the fiercest, most bloodthirsty piranhas yet. Studious Maddy (Danielle Panabaker) and her friends must dive in and take on these man-eating creatures using every ounce of their being, but can they be stopped?
In the comedy American Reunion, all the American Pie characters we met a little more than a decade ago are returning to East Great Falls for their high-school reunion. In one long-overdue weekend, they will discover what has changed, who hasn’t and that time and distance can’t break the bonds of friendship. It was summer 1999 when four small-town Michigan boys began a quest to lose their virginity. In the years that have passed, Jim and Michelle married while Kevin and Vicky said goodbye. Oz and Heather grew apart, but Finch still longs for Stifler’s mom. Now these lifelong friends have come home as adults to reminisce about—and get inspired by—the hormonal teens who launched a comedy legend.
One of the most beloved stories of all time is coming to life in this spectacular reimagining of the classic fairy tale Snow White, starring Oscar winner Julia Roberts as the Queen and Lily Collins as Snow White.
The Evil Queen has her sights set on the royal throne and on the handsome prince, who is in love with Snow White. Out of anger and jealousy, the Queen banishes her to the forest. But instead of being devoured by a vicious beast, like the Queen intended, Snow White enlists the help of seven dwarfs to help reclaim their destroyed kingdom. The whole family will love this spirited adventure comedy filled with jealousy, romance and betrayal that will capture the imagination of audiences the world over.
