Race to Witch Mountain

One of Walt Disney Pictures’ classic franchises is back with this family-oriented sci-fi adventure. Two alien visitors (AnnaSophia Robb and Alexander Ludwig) are searching for their spacecraft, and they get caught up in an adventure with a cab driver (Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson) and a UFO specialist (Carla Gugino). As they race toward the mysterious Witch Mountain, which has baffled scientists and paranormal researchers for years, they are chased by the government, gangsters and an extraterrestrial bounty hunter. If the visitors don’t recover their ship, an alien invasion will be launched against the entire planet. Want to play catch-up?

Monsters vs. Aliens

When a meteorite hits a young California girl named Susan Murphy (voiced by Reese Witherspoon) and turns her into a giant monster, she is taken to a secret government compound where she meets a group of monsters (including those voiced by Seth Rogan and Rainn Wilson) that have been rounded up over the years. The group is called into action by the president (voiced by Stephen Colbert) and General W.R. Monger (Kiefer Sutherland) to take on the aliens and save the world from destruction.

For date night or with the older kids:

Knowing

It’s 1958 and, as part of a dedication ceremony for a new elementary school, a group of students draws pictures to be stored in a time capsule. Flash forward to the present where a teacher, John Koestler (Nicholas Cage), opens it to discover that one of the drawings is filled with rows of apparently random numbers. John soon figures out that the encoded message accurately predicts the dates, death tolls and coordinates of every major disaster of the past 50 years. He realizes that the document foretells three additional events including global destruction that somehow involves him and his son. When John tries to alert authorities, they ignore him, leaving him to take it upon himself to try to prevent any more destruction from taking place. With the help of the daughter and granddaughter of the now-deceased author of the prophecies, John sets out to face the ultimate disaster and the ultimate sacrifice.
