Miss Katz (Zooey Deschanel) desperately wants her boyfriend to ditch his dead-end job at Flakes - a bohemian cereal shop. So, when an eager young businessman opens a rip-off version of this beloved neighborhood hang, Miss Katz joins the competition to buy Flakes. Stand offs, sit ins, pranks and clever revenge will result in victory for one half of the feisty couple, but it may just leave their relationship soggy! Stars Zooey Deschanel, Aaron Stanford and Christopher Lloyd. IN THEATRES DECEMBER 19, 2007 (Limited)
This quirky romantic comedy stars Aaron Stanford (X-MEN 3: THE LAST STAND) as Neal Downs, a struggling musician, and Zooey Deschanel (ELF, ALMOST FAMOUS) as Miss Pussy Katz, his whimsical girlfriend and voice of reason. Living in New Orleans' historic French Quarter, Neal and Miss Katz are bound for great things, with his passion for music and her artistic talent, but their fears and slacker attitudes are holding them back. By day Neal works in a corner café, Flakes, that sells only breakfast cereal. He serves up crunchy delights to curmudgeons and stoners alike, and he takes care of the managerial duties for the eccentric owner, Willie, portrayed endearingly by Christopher Lloyd (BACK TO THE FUTURE). Seeing that his day job is getting in the way of his dream, Miss Katz begs Neal to take some time off to finish his CD. Avoiding her request and his music, Neal becomes even more involved with Flakes and its unique clientele as a competing entrepreneur sets up shop across the street in the hopes of cashing in on the niche market. At her wits' end, Miss Katz turns to drastic measures and helps the competition in an attempt to sabotage Flakes and get Neal back to his music. Though all is fair in love and war, will her plan work or only tear them apart?
Since he directed the mid-80s cult classic HEATHERS, Michael Lehmann has worked on acclaimed television series such as BIG LOVE, THE WEST WING, and THE LARRY SANDERS SHOW. Though Lehmann has also helmed features such as 40 DAYS AND 40 NIGHTS and THE TRUTH ABOUT CATS AND DOGS, FLAKES feels closer to some of his small-screen work. In less capable hands, the characters in his film might feel average, but the talent of the actors prevails. Stanford, Deschanel, and Lloyd portray their roles with such inspiration and heartfelt dignity that one can't help but root for them.

Shawn Levy (CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN, JUST MARRIED) directs the sequel of his hit film NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM. Night guard Larry Daley (Ben Stiller), now a successful entrepreneur, returns to the Museum of Natural History to visit his friends--the exhibits that come to life at night--only to learn that they are being shipped off into deep storage at the Smithsonian Institution. To make matters worse, the exhibits at the Smithsonian, including the pharaoh Kahmunrah (Hank Azaria), are suddenly coming to life--and they aren’t at all happy about their new visitors. Determined to save his friends, Larry rushes to Washington, D.C., and makes his way into the inner workings of the largest museum complex in the world while Kahmunrah recruits the likes of Ivan the Terrible (Christopher Guest), Napoleon (Alain Chabat), and Al Capone (Jon Bernthal). Larry, meanwhile, finds himself with spunky Amelia Earhart (Amy Adams) as a co-conspirator and love interest, and General Custer (Bill Hader) leading the battle for the Smithsonian.
The stakes are higher in this sequel, where even the paintings on the Smithsonian ...

A rougher version of George Roy Hill's pet theme of men as overaged adolescents, SLAP SHOT stars Paul Newman as Reggie Dunlop, the venerable player-coach of the Charlestown Chiefs, a fifth-rate minor league hockey team. When their blue-collar town falls prey to Rust Belt ills of the 1970s, attendance drops, and the greedy owner starts looking for a buyer, anxious to cash out. Dunlop is informed that the players need to crank up the box office to keep their jobs in what will likely be their last season. To the coach's dismay, general manager Joe McGrath (Strother Martin) imports the Hanson brothers, a hockey Three Stooges who like to assault soda machines and play with toys. But once Dunlop turns them loose, they're a Panzer division on ice, and the team starts winning by adopting their bone-crushing style. Although the team is on the upswing, Dunlop's wife, Francine (Jennifer Warren), seems to be through with him, and the isolated wives of the other players aren't much happier with their fate. This sidesplitting, profanity saturated ...
