 Transformers: Dark of the Moon 3D
On July 20, 1969 when our nation attained its greatest achievement, it also unlocked its greatest secret. As Apollo 11 “lost radio contact” with Earth, it in fact uncovered the biggest secret known to man: we are not alone. The Autobots and Deceptions become involved in the infamous space race between the U.S. and Russia, and once again Sam Witwicky (Shia LeBeouf) has to assist his robot friends. From Director Michael Bay and Executive Producer Steven Spielberg, this heart-pounding sequel to one of the most favorite movie collections of all time, the Transformers, is sure to thrill audiences once again.

Hot Happenings of the Week!

Last Chance to see Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides 3D
Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and directed by Rob Marshall, “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” captures the fun, adventure and humor that ignited the hit franchise—this time in Disney Digital 3D™. Johnny Depp returns to his iconic role of Captain Jack Sparrow in an action-packed adventure. Crossing paths with the enigmatic Angelica (Penelope Cruz), he’s not sure if it’s love—or if she’s a ruthless con artist who’s using him to find the fabled Fountain of Youth. When she forces him aboard the “Queen Anne’s Revenge,” the ship of the legendary pirate Blackbeard (Ian McShane), Jack finds himself on an unexpected adventure in which he doesn’t know whom to fear more: Blackbeard or Angelica, with whom he shares a mysterious past.
