Michael Jackson: This Is It
A rare glimpse into the final days of Michael Jackson, the
documentary is compiled from an estimated 80 hours of rehearsal and behind the
scenes footage of the legendary entertainer preparing for his 50 sold-out shows
at London's O2 Arena that were scheduled to commence in July 2009 before his
untimely death in June at age 50. Interviews with collaborators and close
friends of the late performer are also featured.

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
The sub zero heroes are back. Scrat is still trying to nab the ever elusive nut,
while maybe finding true love. Manny (Ray Romano) and Ellie await
the birth of their mini mammoth. Diego the saber toothed tiger wonders if he's
growing too soft and Sid the sloth gets into trouble when he creates his own
makeshift family by hijacking some dinosaur eggs. On a mission to rescue the
hapless Sid (John Leguizamo), the gang ventures into a mysterious
underground world, where they have some close encounters with dinosaurs, battle
flora and fauna, run amuck and meet a relentless, one eyed, dino hunting weasel
named Buck.
