Brothers (R)
Sam and Tommy are brothers who are vastly different: The former is a devoted husband, father and career military man. The latter is a witty charmer, newly released from jail. After Sam is presumed dead while on tour in Afghanistan Tommy is left to care for the family back at home, where he finds sparks with his brother’s wife and begins to find new confidence. But when Sam escapes capture and comes home, tables have turned, with devastating consequences. (Tobey Maguire Capt. Sam Cahill, (Jake Gyllenhaal Tommy Cahill)
Fantastic Mr. Fox (PG)
Wes Anderson brings his unique sensibility to the big-screen adaptation of Roald Dahl’s classic about a mischievous fox who gets into big trouble, but saves the day with cunning, smarts and a little bit of style -- and all in a shrunken suit that’s not unlike that of the director. (George Clooney voice of Mr. Fox), (Meryl Streep voice of Mrs. Fox)
The Blind Side (PG-13)
When a wealthy white family takes in a homeless African-American teen with a big presence and a heart of gold, life for neither him nor his adopted family will ever be the same. Football fans and laypeople alike can find inspiration in the real-life story (read: tear-jerker) of the Tuohys and NFL star Michael Oher. (Sandra Bullock Leigh Anne Tuohy, Quinton Aaron Michael Oher)
