A grown-up Alice returns to Wonderland in director Tim Burton's visionary update of Lewis Carroll's classic fantasy adventure.
Alice Kingsleigh (Mia Wasikowska) is now 19 years old and destined to be married to a rich suitor. When she runs off into the grounds of a Victorian estate at a party thrown in her honour, she once again stumbles down a rabbit hole into the magical world she first discovered as a young girl. But things have changed since Alice's last visit, with the Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter) having taken over 'Underland'. It's up to Alice to slay the Jabberwock that guards her evil empire and restore peace. Help is at hand in the form of the White Rabbit (Michael Sheen), Tweedledee and Tweedledum (Matt Lucas), the Caterpillar (Alan Rickman), the Cheshire Cat (Stephen Fry) and the Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp) as Tim Burton puts his unique twist on one of the most adored stories of all time.

Matt Damon stars in a thriller about a rogue US Army officer on a deadly mission in occupied Iraq.
After the fall of Saddam Hussein and the US occupation of Baghdad, Roy Miller (Matt Damon) leads a team hunting for weapons of mass destruction. With his specialised skills and combat experience, Miller is considered the perfect man to carry out the search in this unstable region. But Miller is hampered by faulty intelligence and the nagging suspicion that he is on a futile quest. Liaising with Wall Street reporter Lawrie Dayne (Amy Ryan) and a sympathetic agent named Brown (Brendon Gleeson), he sets out to find the origins of the weapons' main source - a sneaky agent known as Magellan. Keeping a close eye on Miller's movements is government operative Clark Poundstone (Greg Kinnear) whose motives are unclear. But Miller suspects foul play, and soon finds himself caught up in a lethal CIA conspiracy.

As Teddy begins his investigation, he starts to unearth some sinister goings on but it becomes clear that nobody, including the hospital's enigmatic chief (Ben Kingsley), is willing to talk. When a hurricane hits Shutter Island, more inmates manage to escape and Teddy becomes trapped. Now plagued by terrifying visions and doubting everything, including his partner, Teddy begins to question his sanity and fears he'll never make it off the island alive.

It's a battle of the species as the Pearsons go toe-to-toe with the aliens in the attic.
When the Pearson family travels to their holiday home in Maine, they're all looking forward to a pleasant summer-long break. But the arrival of Bethany's (Ashley Tisdale) irritating boyfriend Ricky (Robert Hoffman) isn't the only unwelcome surprise. While taking a look around the house, Tom (Carter Jenkins) and Jake (Austin Robert Butler) discover a bunch of pint-sized aliens living in the loft. Despite their less-than-menacing appearance, it soon becomes clear that these two-foot tearaways have deeply despicable plans. They want to take over the planet and it's up to the plucky Pearsons to stop them. Using all the weapons at their disposal (garden rake, Slinky, umbrella), and with the help of their kick-ass nana, the kids gear up and get ready to go into battle to defend their family against the knee-high space invaders.

Young Percy discovers his destiny is to prevent an epic war between the ancient Gods.
Percy Jackson (Logan Lerman) is a kid whose only talent is an ability to stay under water for astonishingly long periods of time. At school, his teacher (Pierce Brosnan) lectures on the 12 Olympian Gods of Ancient Greece - especially the 'big three', the brothers Zeus, Poseidon and Hades, whose children were half-human and half-god. After another teacher transforms into a winged demon and attacks him, Percy is sent to the mythical 600th floor of the Empire State Building, where he finds that the Gods of Mount Olympus are real, and they've been expecting him. Discovering that his father is Poseidon (Kevin McKidd), the God of the Sea, Percy begins to adapt to his new life, but when the lightning bolt of Zeus (Sean Bean) is stolen, a terrible war between the Gods is threatened - and Percy and his friends have to prevent it.
