ICE AGE: DAWN
OF THE DINOSAURS:
3D (PG)
-Baxter Ave Theatres
Exploring the comedic twists and emotional turns in one
couple’s journey across contemporary America, Away We Go
is the new movie from Academy Award-winning director Sam
Mendes (American Beauty). Longtime (and now
thirtysomething) couple Burt (John Krasinski) and Verona (Maya
Rudolph) are going to have a baby. The pregnancy progresses
smoothly, but six months in, the pair is put off and put out
by the cavalierly delivered news from Burt’s parents Jerry and
Gloria (Jeff Daniels and Catherine O’Hara) that the eccentric
elder Farlanders are moving out of Colorado—thereby
eliminating the expectant couple’s main reason for living
there. So, where, and among whom of those closest to them,
might Burt and Verona best put down roots to raise their
impending bundle of joy? The couple embarks on an ambitious
itinerary to reconnect with old friends and family, and to
evaluate cities. Co-starring Allison Janney, Maggie Gyllenhaal,
Paul Schneider and Chris Messina. Featuring music by
singer/songwriter Alexi Murdoch.

PUBLIC
ENEMIES (R) -Baxter
Avenue Theatres
Acclaimed filmmaker Michael Mann (Collateral, Ali, The
Insider, Heat) returns with the story of legendary
Depression-era outlaw John Dillinger (Johnny Depp)—the
charismatic bank robber whose lightning raids made him the
number one target of J. Edgar Hoover's fledgling FBI and its
top agent, Melvin Purvis (Christian Bale), and a folk hero to
much of the downtrodden public. No one could stop Dillinger
and his gang. His charm and audacious jailbreaks endeared him
to almost everyone—from his girlfriend Billie (Academy Award
winner Marion Cotillard, La Vie En Rose) to an American
public who had no sympathy for the banks that had plunged the
country into the Depression. But while the adventures of Dillinger's gang—later including the sociopathic Baby Face
Nelson (Stephen Graham) and Alvin Karpis (Giovanni Ribisi)—thrilled
many, Hoover (Billy Crudup) hit on the idea of exploiting the
outlaw's capture as a way to elevate his Bureau of
Investigation into the national police force that became the
FBI. He made Dillinger America's first Public Enemy Number
One.

TRANSFORMERS (PG13) - Baxter Avenue Theatres
Two years have passed since Sam (Shia LaBeouf) and the
Autobots saved the human race from the invading Decepticons.
Now he's preparing for the biggest challenge of his life:
leaving home for college. Despite his extreme heroics, the
battle of Mission City has become an urban legend believed
only by conspiracy theorists. Sam is still an average teenager
with everyday anxieties and excitement about heading off into
adulthood, separating from his parents for the first time, and
vowing to be faithful to girlfriend Mikaela (Megan Fox). Of
course, he also has to explain his departure to his guardian
robot, Bumblebee. Leaving home is something the Autobots
understand only too well. With the destruction of the Allspark,
the Transformers home planet of Cybertron is uninhabitable,
and the Autobots make the best of their lives on earth,
working in league with the military as part of a top secret
team called NEST. Operating alongside their human
counterparts, field commanders Major Lennox (Josh Duhamel) and
USAF Master Sergeant Epps (Tyrese Gibson), the NEST team seeks
to hunt down whatever remaining Decepticons are still hiding
on earth. Unfortunately, even as the Autobots try to make a
new life among humans, they discover they may not be welcome.

THE
PROPOSAL (PG13) - Baxter Avenue Theatres
When high-powered
book editor Margaret (Sandra Bullock) faces deportation to her
native Canada, the quick-thinking exec declares that she's

(Ryan Reynolds), who she's tormented for years. He agrees to

own. The unlikely couple heads to Alaska to meet his quirky
family (Mary Steenburgen, Craig T. Nelson, Betty White) and the
always-in-control city girl finds herself in one comedic
fish-out-of-water situation after another. With an impromptu
wedding in the works and an immigration official on their tails,
Margaret and Andrew reluctantly vow to stick to the plan despite
the precarious consequences. Directed by Anne Fletcher
(27 Dresses, Step Up).
