’’THE CABIN IN THE WOODS (R) A horror story that follows the trip of five friends to a remote cabin in the woods.

’’LOCKOUT (PG-13) In the future prisoners are kept on a space station, which seemed like a good idea until an uprising allowed the prisoners take control of the station. The president, whose daughter was taken captive by the prisoners during the uprising, asks for the help of an ex-government agent (played by Guy Pearce) who is convicted of conspiracy. For the safe return of his daughter, the president promises Pearce’s freedom. Action-packed, gun fights and battles ensue as just one man attempts to save the president’s daughter from a vicious group of convicts.
THE THREE STOOGES: THE MOVIE (PG) The three stooges are back at it after a sabbatical from the screens of movie theaters for over 40 years.

In the new film, three infants are left on a nun’s doorstep (the nun is played by Larry David) and are raised at the orphanage run by the nuns. When they are grown up and learn that the orphanage is facing foreclosure, they set out into the big world to save their home.
