The mission to destroy the Horcruxes begins in HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS: PART 1, directed by David Yates.

J.K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” was published in 2007.

The whole of the world has fallen on the shoulders of The Boy Who Lived. In control of both the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts, Voldemort takes his place at the head of the Wizarding world, forcing Harry Potter into hiding. With all hope dimming, Harry, Ron and Hermione set out to find and destroy Voldemort’s horcruxes, magical artifacts cursed by the Dark Lord with a segment of his soul, protecting him from death. As the trio zaps around all of Britain, they discover Voldemort’s ultimate goal: obtaining the Deathly Hallows, the three most powerful artifacts in all of magic.

The first part of the series’ grand conclusion, Deathly Hallows Part 1 features the Potter crew in full-on angst-ridden teen mode – complete with Nick Cave sad-dancing – but things are always darkest before the light can break through. Lumos!

On the eve (Christmas Eve) of hosting a live broadcast of A Christmas Carol, Moss is visited by three ghosts who, well, you know the story…

The heist-comedy, MASTERMINDS, you’ve been waiting for is finally here!

In this action comedy based on true events, David Ghantt discovers the true meaning of adventure far beyond his wildest dreams. He is an uncomplicated man stuck in a monotonous life. Day in and day out he drives an armored vehicle, transporting millions of other people’s money with no escape in sight. The only glimmer of excitement is his flirtatious work crush Kelly Campbell who soon lures him into the scheme of a lifetime. Along with a group of half-brained criminals led by Steve Chambers and an absurdly faulted heist plan, David manages the impossible and makes off with $17 million in cash…only problem is he foolishly hands the money over to this wild group of double crossers and has been set up to take the fall.

POOTIE TANG is too cool for words. Presented in 35mm!

No comedian wants to have to analyze and defend something. It’s like, you thought something was funny; you wrote it down; you acted it out; you talked to people. You know? It works or it doesn’t work. – Chris Rock

Directed by Louis C.K. and adapted from a sketch of the “The Chris Rock Show,” Pootie Tang is probably strangest comedy to be released by a major studio. It may have been panned at release but it’s now a cult favorite. A satire of blaxploitation films of the 1970s, Pootie Tang centers around a hero and role model to the kids, Pootie. Everybody looks up to Pootie except for the evil Dick Lecter, CEO of Lecter Corp, the company that makes cigarettes, alcohol and fast food. Watch to see if Pootie’s cool determination and strength prevail over the evil Dick Lecter and his crew. Did we mention that Pootie also speaks his own language that the audience can’t understand but those in the film with him do…do you speak Pootie?

Seven lame superheroes try to save the day in MYSTERY MEN!

I guess I just prefer to see the dark side of things. The glass is always half empty. And cracked. And I just cut my lip on it. And chipped a tooth. – Janeane Garafolo

When Champion City’s legendary superhero, Captain Amazing, falls into the hands of the evil madman Casanova Frankenstein and his disco-dancing henchmen, an aspiring group of misfit superheroes called the “Mystery Men” show what they can do. Based on the Dark Horse comic, Mystery Men includes: Mr. Furious, whose power comes from his boundless rage; The Shoveler, a father who shovels “better than anyone”; The Blue Raja, a fork-flinging mama’s boy; The Bowler, who fights crime with the help of her father’s skull; The Spleen, whose power is pure flatulence; Invisible Boy, who’s only invisible when no one’s watching and The Sphinx, a cliche-spewing philosopher.
