Sequel to the big-budget reboot of the comic book series following
the anthropomorphic ninjutsu-trained turtles Leonardo (Pete
Ploszek), Michelangelo (Noel Fisher), Donatello (Jeremy Howard) and
Raphael (Alan Ritchson). The turtle's arch nemesis Shredder (Brian
Tee) has returned and employed Techno Cosmic Research Institute
scientist Dr. Stockman (Tyler Perry) to create some mutants of his
own in the form of ferocious duo Bebop (Gary Anthony Williams) and
Rocksteady (Stephen Farrelly). Meanwhile, the evil Kraang (voice of
Fred Armisen) has arrived from Dimension X to lead an invasion of
New York City. With the help of journalist April O'Neil (Megan Fox)
and vigilante Casey Jones (Stephen Amell), the turtles face a fight
on two fronts to save the city from certain destruction.
Double bill of children's features that mix CGI animation and live
action to follow the adventures of the Smurfs. In 'The Smurfs'
(2011) after being chased by dark wizard Gargamel (Hank Azaria),
the Smurfs find themselves transported from their village in the
Middle Ages to modern-day New York. There they seek shelter in the
home of Patrick Winslow (Neil Patrick Harris) and his wife, Grace
(Jayma Mays), but with Gargamel on the loose, the Smurfs are
running out of time to get back to their village. In 'The Smurfs 2'
(2013) when Gargamel kidnaps Smurfette (voice of Katy Perry) and
steals her away to Paris, the rest of the Smurf gang team up with
their human friends Patrick and Grace to try and retrieve her from
his clutches. However, with Smurfette the key to Gargamel's plans
to transform his latest minions, the Naughties (voiced by Christina
Ricci and J.B. Smoove), into Smurfs, this will be no simple task -
not least because Smurfette seems rather taken by the Naughties...

This rollicking and slightly absurd comedy from director Jesse Peretz (FIRST LOVE, LAST RITES) begins when Tom Reilly (Zach Braff) loses his promising chef job at a swanky New York restaurant. He is compelled to move to small-town Ohio to take a job with his father-in-law (Charles Grodin) at an advertising agency to support his wife, Sofia (Amanda Peet), and newborn son. Tom's adjustment to the rhythms and rituals of the office world is awkward at best, and complicated by the presence of an old high-school flame of Sofia's (Jason Bateman), a passive-aggressive paraplegic who schemes to get Sofia back. Meanwhile, Sofia must cope with the shock of switching roles from powerful big-city lawyer to stay-at-home suburban mother. Young working parents will identify with the familiar conflicts presented here as the embattled Tom and frustrated Sofia struggle to make sense of their new responsibilities. Braff purveys his patented nerdy charm as a nice guy whose behaviour becomes more and more manic as the rug gets continually pulled out from under him, and Peet is a lovely screen presence even as her character's patience and enthusiasm fade in less than attractive ways. Their performances blend wry intelligence with out-and-out slapstick, and they are supported by a superb ensemble cast including Amy Poehler, Amy Adams, Paul Rudd, Donal Logue, and Mia Farrow. While some of the situations and jokes border on tasteless, it's the smart kind of gross-out humor of a Farrelly Brothers or Jay Roach film, and the film never never loses its heart, as embodied by Braff and Peet.

Family comedy starring Danny DeVito and Matthew Broderick. For
Cloverdale, Massachusetts optometrist Steve Finch (Broderick), no
time of the year can compare to the glory of the Christmas season.
And, for many years now, he's carried on a series of heartfelt but
hokey Yuletide traditions that his family - wife Kelly (Kristin
Davis), daughter Madison (Alia Shawkat), and son Carter (Dylan
Blue) - at this point, can barely tolerate. Despite his family's
exhausted protests, super-organised Steve has the December calendar
chock full with everything from shooting the Finch's annual
Christmas card photo, to their ritual tree harvesting and
neighbourhood caroling night. There's also scheduled time for
shopping, 'personal reflection,' and the town's yearly Winterfest
carnival, which Steve joyously oversees. But Steve's Christmas
bliss is suddenly destroyed when slippery car salesman Buddy Hall
(DeVito) moves in next door and Steve finds himself going
toe-to-toe with his new neighbour. Buddy quickly begins to
undermine Steve's dominance as the local 'King of Christmas' when
he sets out to festoon his new house with enough glowing holiday
lights so it will be visible from outer space.

`It s amazing that this style came to be. Can you imagine being a
struggling musician back then? It must take an incredible amount of
restraint to play that gently. Actor/comedian Fred Armisen, from
his foreword to this book. Just what is `yacht rock, you ask?
Perhaps the easiest description is: music that would not sound out
of place being played while carousing aboard a yacht back in the
good old days. But these songs were also some of the top pop gems
of the 70s and 80s. And while some associate yacht rock s biggest
songs with one-hit wonder artists, several of rock s most renowned
artists fall under this category, too including Fleetwood Mac, the
Eagles, Steely Dan, Hall and Oates, The Doobie Brothers, Toto, and
more. By the early twenty-first century, yacht rock seemed to have
become extinct until a comedic video series, simply titled Yacht
Rock, went viral and introduced captain s hats and blazers to a
whole new generation as well as the emergence of a popular cover
band, the Yacht Rock Revue, and of course, Jimmy Fallon s on-air
admiration of all things yacht rock. Now, yacht rock is one of the
most celebrated `yesteryear styles of pop music, and has resonated
with a new generation of musicians (including the Fred Armisen/Bill
Hader led Blue Jean Committee and soul/funk/electronica crossover
act Thundercat). But despite all the hoopla, there has never been a
book that told the entire story of the genre. Until now. Featuring
interviews with many of the heavy hitters of the genre, including
John Oates, Kenny Loggins, and Don Felder, The Yacht Rock Book
leaves no sail unturned. This is the definitive story of the yacht
rock s creation, rise, chart-smashing success, fall, and stunning
rebirth.
Finally, after all that waiting, The Future arrived in 1980. Ohio
art-rockers Devo had plainly prepared with their 1979 second LP
Duty Now for the Future, and now it was go time. Propelled by the
new decade's high-tech, free-market, pre-AIDS promise, 1980's
Freedom of Choice would rocket what Devo co-founder Gerald Casale
calls his "alternate universe, hermetically sealed, alien band"
both into the arms of the Earthlings and back to their home planet
in one scenic trip. Before an artistic and commercial decline that
resulted in a 20-year gap between Devo's last two studio records,
Freedom of Choice made them curious, insurgent superstars,
vindicated but ultimately betrayed by the birth of MTV. Their only
platinum album represented the best of their unreplicable code:
dead-serious tricksters, embracing conformity in order to destroy
it with bullet-proof pop sensibility. Through first-hand accounts
from the band and musical analysis set against an examination of
new wave's emergence, the first-ever authorized book about Devo
(with a foreword by Portlandia's Fred Armisen) explores the group's
peak of success, when their hermetic seal cracked open to let in
mainstream attention, a legion of new Devotees, and plenty of
misunderstandings. "Freedom of Choice was the end of Devo
innocence-it turned out to be the high point before the s***storm
of a total cultural move to the right, the advent of AIDS, and the
press starting to figure Devo out and think they had our number,"
says Casale. "It's where everything changes."
