Sterne. Slyly acknowledging public fascination with the movie
industry, Tristram Shandy strolls onto a modern film set, complete
with insecure actors, scandal-hunting reporters, and balky investors.

billionaire whose son Nelson is always being intimidated by
the other kids. One day, Gus and Clark rescue Nelson from a
bunch of bullies on the baseball field. When Max tells his father

play in a tournament against the young baseballers as a way
of helping his son and other nerds like him to exact revenge
against the bullies of this world. It will be called "Mel's
Tournament of Little Baseballers and Three Older Guys."
The winner will get the greatest stadium ever built--at Mel's

another. Amazingly, the training pays off and they become an

Since both sets of kids aren't happy, they devise a plan to
undermine the marriage and team up to plot the breakup. East

In "Ice Age: The Meltdown," our sub-zero heroes from

tiger and the hapless saber-toothed squirrel known as Scrat.
In the new film, from the Academy Award winning creators of
"Ice Age" and "Robots." the Ice Age is coming

that is their new world. Manny, Sid, and Diego quickly learn
that the warming climate has one major drawback: a huge glacial
dam is about to break, threatening the entire valley. The only
chance of survival lies at the other end of the valley. So our
three heroes, along with a mammoth named Ellie (Queen Latifah)
and her two 'brothers' -- possums Crash and Eddie -- embark
on a mission across an increasingly dangerous landscape towards
their salvation.

It's hard enough being the nerdy new guy on campus without also
being the new girl on campus, who has fallen for the coolest
guy on campus. Viola Johnson had her own good reasons for disguising
herself as her twin brother Sebastian and enrolling in his place
at his new boarding school, Illyria Prep. She was counting on
Sebastian being AWOL from school, while he tried to break into
the music scene in London. What she didn't count on was falling
in love with her hot roommate, Duke, who in turn only has eyes
for the beautiful Olivia. Making matters worse, Olivia is starting
to fall for Sebastian, who -- for reasons Olivia couldn't begin
to guess -- appears to be the sensitive type of guy she'd always
dreamed of meeting. If things weren't complicated enough, the
real Sebastian has come back from London two days earlier than
expected and arrives on campus having no clue that he's been
replaced -- by his own twin sister.

Nobody believes a liar--even when they're telling the truth.
When a young woman is found murdered, a group of local high
school students decide to further scare their classmates by
spreading on-line rumors that a serial killer called "The
Wolf" is on the loose. By describing "The Wolf's"
next victims, the students' game is to see how many people they
can convince--and if anyone will uncover the lie. But when the
described victims actually do start turning up dead, suddenly
no one knows where the lies end and the truth begins. As someone
or something begins hunting the students themselves, the game
turns terrifyingly real.

A
Sound of Thunder - In the future, time travel
is not only possible--it's a lucrative monopoly. It's especially
profitable for Charles Hatton, the owner of Time Safari Inc.,
a travel agency that specializes in escorting wealthy clients
on exclusive hunting trips back to the Prehistoric Age. Under

are permitted to hunt and kill dinosaurs provided they follow

impacting the course of evolution. When an expedition is compromised
and the rules are broken, the hunters return to the future and
discover the world is a markedly different place than it was
when they left. As "time waves" ripple from the Prehistoric
past through the present to the uncharted future, Ryer teams-up
with Sonia Rand, the inventor of the time travel technology,

that are now threatening to erase humanity from existence. |
