 The plot's the thing

 

Red Dawn (PG-13) — A city in Washington state awakens to the surreal sight of foreign paratroopers dropping from the sky. American citizens find themselves prisoners and their town under enemy occupation. Determined to fight back, a group of young patriots seek refuge in the surrounding woods, training and reorganizing themselves into a guerilla group of fighters. Stars Chris Hemsworth, Adrianne Palicki and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

Identity Thief (R) — Unlimited funds have allowed Diana to live it up on the outskirts of Miami, where the queen of retail buys whatever strikes her fancy. There’s only one glitch: The ID she’s using to finance these sprees reads Sandy Bigelow Patterson and it belongs to an accounts rep who lives halfway across the United States. With only one week to hunt down the con artist before his world implodes, the real Sandy Bigelow Patterson heads south to confront the woman but discovers just how tough it is to get his name back. Stars Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy.

Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax (PG) — This is an adaptation of Dr. Seuss’ classic tale of a forest creature who shares the enduring power of hope. The animated adventure follows the journey of a boy as he searches for the one thing that will enable him to win the affection of the girl of his dreams. To find it he must discover the story of the Lorax, the grumpy yet charming creature who fights to protect his world. Stars Danny DeVito, Ed Helms, Zac Efron and Taylor Swift.

Flight (R) — Whip Whitaker (played by Denzel Washington), a seasoned airline pilot, miraculously crash lands his plane after a mid-air catastrophe, saving nearly every soul on board. After the crash, Whip is hailed as a hero, but as more is learned, more questions than answers arise as to what really happened on that plane?

Beautiful Creatures (PG-13) — This is the tale of two star-crossed lovers — Ethan (Alden Ehrenreich), a young man longing to escape his small town, and Lena (Alice Englert), a mysterious new girl. Together, they uncover dark secrets about their respective families, their history and their town. Also stars Emma Thompson and Jeremy Irons.

Escape From Planet Earth (PG) — Astronaut Scorch Supernova (Brendan Fraser) is a national hero to the blue alien population. A master of daring rescues, Scorch pulls off astonishing feats with the quiet aid of his nerdy, by-the-rules brother, Gary (Rob Corddry), head of mission control at BASA. When BASA’s no-nonsense chief Lena (Jessica Alba) informs the brothers of an SOS from a notoriously dangerous planet, Scorch rejects Gary’s warnings and bounds off for yet another exciting mission.

Skyfall (PG-13) – James Bond’s loyalty to M is tested as her past comes back to haunt her. As MI6 comes under attack, 007 must track down and destroy the threat, no matter how personal the cost. Stars Daniel Craig, Judi Dench, Javier Bardem and Ralph Fiennes.

Alex Cross (PG-13) -- A young homicide detective/psychologist meets his match in a serial killer. The two face off in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, but when the mission gets personal, Cross is pushed to the edge of his moral and psychological limits. Stars Tyler Perry, Rachel Nichols, Jean Reno and Matthew Fox.

End Of Watch (R) -- Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Peña play young Los Angeles police officers Taylor and Zavala as they patrol the city’s meanest streets of south central Los Angeles. The film creates a riveting portrait of the city’s most dangerous corners, the cops who risk their lives there every day, and the price they and their families are forced to pay.

Killing Them Softly (R) — Three dumb guys who think they’re smart rob a mob-protected card game, causing the local criminal economy to collapse. Brad Pitt plays the enforcer hired to track them down and restore order. Also stars Ray Liotta, James Gandolfini and Sam Shepard.
