Five feature-length action adventures based on the Marvel comic.
In 'X-Men' (2000), mutants Professor Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart) and Magneto (Ian McKellen) are former friends, but look set to become mortal enemies when fascist US senator Robert Frank Kelly calls for the registration of all humans with abnormal powers. While telepath Xavier, who runs an altruistic academy for superhuman 'X-Men', wishes to enlighten non-mutants and break down the prejudices which divide them, Magneto believes that the only solution is for the mutants to take over. Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) - an aggressive loner with an admantium skeleton and the ability to heal his body of any wound - and teenager Rogue (Anna Paquin), who can absorb the life force of others simply by touching them, are selected by Xavier to join his academy, but it isn't long before Magneto's followers are attempting to capture them so that they can assist in his plan for world domination.
In the sequel, 'X-Men 2' (2003), Xavier, Wolverine and the X-Men find themselves in the firing line after a failed assassination attempt on the president points the finger at the school. It was in fact the mysterious teleporter Nightwalker (Alan Cumming) who ordered it, and, in an attempt to clear their names, the X-Men are led into a trap set by the evil William Stryker (Brian Cox), a mysterious scientist apparently working for the government. As it soon becomes evident that Stryker's agenda is to destroy all mutants, the X-Men need to call in the help of many of their old friends and foes, including Magneto, if they are to stop him.
In the third film, 'X-Men: The Last Stand' (2006), the mutants are given the option of giving up their powers and becoming human after a private laboratory supported by the government finds a way to use the DNA of a powerful boy to correct the mutants. However, Magneto opposes and decides to join a force to fight against the government and kill the mutant boy. Meanwhile, Jean Grey (Famke Janssen) resurrects,
uncontrolled by Xavier, and with the personality of the powerful Dark Phoenix. She destroys Cyclops (James Marsden) and Xavier and allies herself to the evil forces of Magneto, making them almost invincible.
The fourth film in the franchise, 'X-Men: Origins - Wolverine' (2009) is a prequel to the other three films. Hugh Jackman reprises his role as Wolverine, who, some 20 years before the action of the original movie, is seeking revenge on his half-brother Victor Creed (Liev Schreiber) for the death of his girlfriend, and eventually signs up to the ominous Weapon X programme.
Finally, 'X-Men: First Class' (2011) charts the beginning of the saga, following Professor X (James McAvoy) and Magneto (Michael Fassbender) through their formative years in the 1960s as they come to terms with their newfound superpowers. Initially close friends who work together to fight against evil, the two men are driven apart by a conflict of opinion that ultimately leads to the eternal war between Magneto's Brotherhood
and Professor X's X-Men.
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.
The history of the Pine Tree State would be bare but for the
contributions of hardy and impassioned individuals--generals,
governors, settlers and activists whose lives of leadership make up
the story of Maine's "hidden history." Author Harry Gratwick
creates intimate and detailed portraits of these Mainers, from the
controversial missionary Sebastien Rale to Woolwich native William
Phips, whose seafaring attacks against French Canada earned him the
first governorship of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Gratwick also
profiles inventors who "challenged the assumptions of their] time
and place," such as Robert Benjamin Lewis, an African American from
Gardiner who patented a hair growth product in the 1830s, and
Margaret Knight, a York native who defied nineteenth-century sexism
to earn the nickname "the female Edison." Discover four hundred
years of Maine's history through the tales of its unique residents,
from soprano Lillian Nordica, who left Farmington to become the
most glamorous American opera singer of her day, to slugger George
"Piano Legs" Gore, the only Mainer to have ever won a Major League
batting championship.
Robin Williams, Peter Dinklage and Mila Kunis star in this comedy
drama directed by Phil Alden Robinson. Henry Altmann (Williams), a
cynical and curmudgeonly Brooklynite, undergoes a drastic
transformation when he is mistakenly told by Dr. Sharon Gill
(Kunis) he only has 90 minutes to live. Desperate to make amends
with the people closest to him before he dies, he leaves the
doctor's surgery frantically and sets off on a path of redemption.
Meanwhile, Sharon, who has realised her mistake but has become
aware of a potentially life-threatening brain aneurysm, tries to
track Henry down to get him into care.

From the day Sissy fights a boy in the playground in front of
Tegan, they realise they are not like the other girls. Both raised
in unusual families, they become so close they feel like one being,
wrapped around each other in bed at sleepovers, sending photographs
to men they meet online, scaring each other with reports of the
girls being snatched at night in their town. But as their rituals
push against the boundaries not only of childhood, but of
possibility, Sissy feels herself transforming into something
strange and terrifying.

Triple bill of horror movies. 'Hiding' (2012) stars Ana Villafañe
as a young woman attempting to begin a new life following the
brutal murder of her parents. Taken into the care of a witness
protection programme, a new identity is established for Jo
(Villafañe) in Montana and she leaves her home in New York and her
past life behind. Unfortunately, when a man known as Mr Ostrog
(Dean Armstrong) appears and begins to take an interest in her, Jo
could be forgiven for thinking that the protection programme has
failed to keep her identity safe from the man she is due to testify
against. In 'The Victim' (2011) Annie (Jennifer Blanc)'s camping
trip with her friend, Mary (Danielle Harris), goes disastrously
wrong when Mary is savagely attacked and Annie witnesses her
murder. As she flees through the woods from pursuers Harrison (Ryan
Honey) and Cooger (Denny Kirkwood), Annie comes across a small
cabin inhabited by the loner Kyle (Michael Biehn), but will he help
her or hinder her? 'Beneath the Dark' (2010) is a psychological
thriller from first-time director Chad Feehan. Driving through the
Mojave Desert on their way to the wedding of an old college friend,
Paul and Adrienne (Josh Stewart and Jamie-Lynn Sigler) stop for the
night at Roy's Motel. Confronted by a surreal atmosphere and their
equally strange hosts, Frank and Sandy (Chris Browning and Angela
Featherstone), Paul begins to feel uneasy about his new
surroundings and wonders what lies in store for them.
