Ice Age:
Dawn of the Dinosaurs (PG)
Rated for
some mild rude humor and peril
Ray Romano, John Leguizamo
- 87 min. |
 The
sub-zero heroes from the worldwide blockbusters "Ice Age"
and "Ice Age: The Meltdown" are back on an incredible
adventure for the ages. Scrat is still trying to nab the
ever-elusive nut (while, maybe, finding true love); Manny
and Ellie await the birth of their mini-mammoth, Sid the
sloth creates his own makeshift family by hijacking some
dinosaur eggs; and Diego the saber-toothed tiger wonders if
he's growing too "soft" hanging with his pals. On a mission
to rescue the hapless Sid, the gang ventures into a
mysterious underground world, where they have some close
encounters with dinosaurs, battle flora fauna run amuck--and
meet a relentless, one-eyed, dino-hunting weasel named Buck.

Public
Enemies (R)
Rated for
gangster violence and some language
Johnny Depp, Channing Tatum
- 143 min. |
 "Public
Enemies" is the story of legendary Depression-era outlaw
John Dillinger-the charismatic bank robber whose lightning
raids made him the number one target of J. Edgar Hoover's
fledgling FBI and its top agent, Melvin Purvis, and a folk
hero to much of the downtrodden public. No one could stop
Dillinger and his gang. No jail could hold him. His charm
and audacious jailbreaks endeared him to almost
everyone-from his girlfriend Billie Frechette to an American
public who had no sympathy for the banks that had plunged
the country into the Depression. But while the adventures of
Dillinger's gang-later including the sociopathic Baby Face
Nelson and Alvin Karpis-thrilled many, Hoover hit on the
idea of exploiting the outlaw's capture as a way to elevate
his Bureau of Investigation into the national police force
that became the FBI. He made Dillinger America's first
Public Enemy Number One and sent in Purvis, the dashing
"Clark Gable of the FBI.'' However, Dillinger and his gang
outwitted and outgunned Purvis' men in wild chases and
shootouts. Only after importing a crew of Western ex-lawmen
(newly baptized as agents) and orchestrating epic
betrayals-from the infamous "Lady in Red'' to the Chicago
crime boss Frank Nitti-were Purvis, the FBI and their new
crew of gunfighters able to close in on Dillinger.

of good. A normal life will have to wait. With the help of
the Autobots, the soldiers of NEST, and an old
adversary-turned-ally, former Sector 7 Agent Simmons, Sam
and his girlfriend Mikaela must uncover the secret history
of the Transformers presence on earth, and the sacrifices
that have to be made to save it from an ancient threat sworn
on returning here for revenge--an ancient Decepticon named
The Fallen.

Food,
Inc. (PG)
Rated for
some thematic material and disturbing images
Eric Schlosser, Richard Lobb
- 93 min. |
 In
"Food, Inc.," filmmaker Robert Kenner lifts the veil on our
nation's food industry, exposing the highly mechanized
underbelly that's been hidden from the American consumer
with the consent of our government's regulatory agencies,
USDA and FDA. Our nation's food supply is now controlled by
a handful of corporations that often put profit ahead of
consumer health, the livelihood of the American farmer, the
safety of workers and our own environment. We have
bigger-breasted chickens, the perfect pork chop,
insecticide-resistant soybean seeds, even tomatoes that
won't go bad, but we also have new strains of e coli--the
harmful bacteria that cause illness for an estimated 73,000
Americans annually. We are riddled with widespread obesity,
particularly among children, and an epidemic level of
diabetes among adults Featuring interviews with such experts
as Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation), Michael Pollan (The
Omnivore's Dilemma) along with forward thinking social
entrepreneurs like Stonyfield Farms' Gary Hirschberg and
Polyface Farms' Joe Salatin, "Food, Inc." reveals
surprising--and often shocking truths--about what we eat,
how it's produced, who we have become as a nation and where
we are going from here.

 Voldemort
is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding

Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle,
but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the
final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together
they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort's defenses
and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and
colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant
Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial
information. Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a
very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the
ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny,
but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that
Ron is the one for her, only she hadn't counted on Romilda
Vane's chocolates! And then there's Hermione, simmering with
jealousy but determined not to show her feelings. As romance
blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to
make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but
tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again.
