Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith

Three years after the onset of the Clone Wars, the noble Jedi Knights have been leading a massive clone army into a galaxy-wide battle against the Separatists. When the sinister Sith unveil a thousand-year-old plot to rule the galaxy, the Republic crumbles and from its ashes rises the evil Galactic Empire. Jedi hero Anakin Skywalker is seduced by the dark side of the Force to become the Emperor’s new apprentice – Darth Vader. The Jedi are decimated, as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Jedi Master Yoda are forced into hiding. The only hope for the galaxy are Anakin’s own offspring – the twin children born in secrecy who will grow up to become Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia Organa.

War of the Worlds WINNER

After a few go-rounds giving benevolent aliens their due ('E.T.,' 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind'), Steven Spielberg tackles a story where the extraterrestrials most definitely do not come in peace. In this retelling of the H.G. Wells classic, Spielberg joins forces with Tom Cruise to depict the harrowing struggle for the survival of humankind through the eyes of one family. Ray Ferrier (Cruise) is a working-class divorced dad living in New Jersey. He's estranged from his family, he's self-centered, and his life is in utter shambles. When his small-town existence is shaken violently by the arrival of Martians bent on sending Earth into oblivion, he must come to the defense of his children, overcoming an even more potent enemy -- the demons that lurk within.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Director Tim Burton ('Edward Scissorhands,' 'Big Fish') puts his indelible thumbprint on this new adaptation of Roald Dahl's beloved book. When Charlie Bucket (Freddie Highmore) finds a gold wrapper in his Willy Wonka chocolate bar and wins a guided tour of the legendary candy-making facility that no outsider has seen for 15 years, it's a dream come true… or so he thinks. Along with four other children, Charlie explores the amazing world of the eccentric Willy Wonka (Johnny Depp) and his loyal staff of singing Oompa-Loompas. Charlie discovers that even in a world of candy, not everything is sweet.

Fantastic Four

Marvel’s first family of comic superheroes takes the world by storm, as the longest running comic book series in history comes to the big screen. After being exposed to cosmic radiation in outer space, four astronauts discover that they have been endowed with special powers. Reed Richards becomes Mr. Fantastic, with the ability to elongate his body. Susan Storm turns into the Invisible Woman, who not only can become invisible at will but can render other objects invisible. Johnny Storm transforms into the Human Torch, shooting fire from his finger tips and bending flame. And Ben Grimm morphs into the Thing, a hideously misshapen monster who possesses superhuman strength and is literally made of rock. Together, they battle the evil Doctor Doom.

The 40-Year Old Virgin

40-year-old Andy Stitzer (Steve Carell) has done quite a few things in his life. He's got a cushy job stamping invoices at an electronics superstore, a nice apartment with a proud collection of action figures and comic books, good friends, a nice attitude. But there's just one little thing he hasn't quite gotten around to doing yet -- something most people have done by his age. Andy has never, ever, ever had sex -- not even by accident. Andy's buds at the store go to great lengths to help him, but nothing proves effective enough to lure their friend out of lifelong chastity -- until he meets Trish (Catherine Keener), a 40-year-old mother of three. Andy's friends are psyched by the possibility that "it" may finally happen...until they hear that Andy and Trish have begun their relationship based on a mutual no-sex policy.
