This Week's New Movies

10,000 B.C. 10,000 B.C.
The film centers on a 21-year-old who lives among a primitive tribe that survives by hunting a mammoth each year as the herd migrates through the tribe's homeland. It was a time when man and beast were untamed and the mighty mammoth roamed the earth. A time when ideas and beliefs were born that forever shaped mankind. "10,000 B.C." follows a young hunter (Steven Strait) on his quest to lead an army across a vast desert, battling saber tooth tigers and prehistoric predators as he unearths a lost civilization and attempts to rescue the woman he loves (Camilla Belle) from an evil warlord determined to possess her.

The Bank Job
"The Bank Job" was inspired by a real-life 1971 London bank robbery that was never solved. A band of thieves tunneled their way into a safe deposit vault, taking millions of dollars in cash and jewelry. The robbery made headlines for several days, but then all reporting stopped as a result of a government gag order. In "Bank Job," the crime involves murder, corruption and a sex scandal with links to the royal family. Ultimately, the thieves are among the most innocent involved.
The Bank Job

College Road Trip College Road Trip
Raven will play a young woman who wants to be a public defender and takes a trip to visit potential universities. Lawrence will portray her overprotective father, who also happens to be a cop. Get ready for the cross-generational sparks to fly! Also starring comedian Martin Lawerence. Rated PG.

In Short:

Married Life Married Life
A wry blend of dark humor, romantic deception, and stylish melodrama-with an invigorating dash of suspense-Married Life is an unconventional fable for grown-ups about the irresistible power and utter madness of love.

Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day
A sophisticated and heartfelt comedy. In the 1939-set romantic tale, Miss Guinevere Pettigrew (Academy Award winner Frances McDormand), a middle-aged London governess, finds herself unfairly dismissed from her job.
