Three teenagers acquire incredible superpowers, but soon learn the downside of their amazing gift.
What would you do if you suddenly found you'd been blessed with mind-boggling telekinetic abilities? For teenage schoolfriends Andrew (Dane Dehaan), Matt (Alex Russell) and Steve (Michael B. Jordan), the answer is obvious: - have a lot of fun! Naturally, they decide to chronicle their prankstering using a camcorder, howling with laughter as they scare a child by bringing a teddy bear to life and take control of a leaf-blower to lift girls' skirts. As the trio's powers continue to grow, they find that they can even move cars using their minds alone. But this also unleashes the dark side in Andrew, and it's not long before events start to spiral out of control. Written by 'An American Werewolf in London' director John Landis's talented son Max, this mind-blowing cautionary tale is told in edgy, 'Cloverfield'-style found footage format.

A pair of lovable Polish swindlers embark on a madcap adventure in this lively, colourful comedy.
It's 1981, and Poland is still in the grip of communism. Not that this interferes with the entrepreneurial spirit of seasoned con-artist Sonny (Cezary Pazura) and his hunky good-for-nothing sidekick Janek (Borys Szyc). In the scenic ski resort of Zakopane, Sonny manages to bluff top secret service agent Krolik (Boguslaw Linda) during a vodka-fuelled poker game. To celebrate, the duo decide to pick up some lovely ladies in a nightclub. But their new companions are not what they seem and our intrepid heroes find themselves embroiled in a plot to transport a Solidarity leader to Warsaw. Along the way, they encounter corrupt cops, dodgy officials and their old friend Krolik...A riotous follow-up to 1997's 'Sztos', now one of Poland's most popular comedies, this handsomely photographed period romp has much satirical fun at the expense of the country's totalitarian past.

Vijay leads an all-star cast in this Tamil remake of the Bollywood comedy blockbuster '3 Idiots'.
Venkatramakrishnan (Srikanth), Sevalkodi Senthil (Jeeva) and Panchavan Parivendan (Vijay) are a trio of engineering students who share a room. Venkatramakrishnan is studying not because engineering is his vocation, but to appease his father. Sevalkodi Senthil wants to get his family out of poverty. Panchavan Parivendan has a genuine passion for the subject and considerable skill at problem solving. Unfortunately, this brings him into conflict with the pompous dean, Virumandi Santhanam, aka Virus (Sathyaraj). Matters are further complicated when he falls for Virus's daughter, Riya (Ileana D'Cruz). Adapted from Chetan Bhagrat's bestseller 'Five Point Someone' and told in the form of a series of flashbacks from the present day, '3 Idiots' was a Bollywood box office record-breaker back in 2009. This Tamil remake from the director of 'Enthiran' recaptures its magic for a new audience with an impressive ensemble cast.

The amazing true story of the bond between a boy and an injured dolphin.
When a young dolphin gets caught in a crab trap, introverted 11-year-old Sawyer Nelson (Nathan Gamble) rescues her. But there's a problem. She has severely damaged her tail. Taken to the Clearwater Marine Hospital run by Dr Clay Haskett (Harry Connick Jr), her prognosis is bleak. But Sawyer is not prepared to give up on his new friend so easily. He presents Dr. Ken McCarthy (Morgan Freeman) with the challenge of creating a pioneering prosthetic attachment for the dolphin, now named Winter, which will restore her ability to swim. Featuring stunning 3D underwater footage, 'Dolphin Tale' co-stars Ashley Judd as troubled Sawyer's single mother Lorraine, and veteran Kris Kristoffersen as Dr. Haskett's father, Reed. It was filmed in part at the real Clearwater Marine Hospital, where Winter the dolphin was cast as herself!

'Wimpy' becomes cool in a smart and original family comedy based on the hugely popular illustrated book by Jeff Kinney.
For Greg Heffley (Zachary Gordon) middle school is the dumbest idea ever invented. Not only is it an "intellectual wasteland", according to the precocious Angie (Chloe Moretz) but also, as Greg complains, "You've got kids like me who haven't hit their growth spurt yet mixed in with gorillas who have to shave twice a day." Greg's diabolical brother Rodrick (Devon Bostick) isn't much help either. His advice is "Don't talk to anyone, don't look at anyone, don't sit down...", but he still reckons Greg will be dead or homeschooled by the end of the year. Thankfully, Greg has his best friend Rowley (Robert Capron) who always looks on the bright side of things - and a colourful crew of fellow middle schoolers like Patty (Laine MacNeil), Chirag (Karan Brar) and Fregley (Grayson Russell) to hang out with...
