Red Dawn 

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM)

Director: Dan Bradley

(Now in theaters) Some remakes, no matter how misguided have a unique life all their own. A remake of the 1984 film starring Patrick Swayze and Charlie Sheen, 2012’s Red Dawn is a more modern take featuring two of the hottest up-and-coming young actors in Hollywood. When North Korea invades, a group of teens must defend their hometown by helping the U.S. military in a covert operation. 

 


 

Rise of the Guardians 

DreamWorks Animation

The Guardians, a group of four legendary characters consisting of Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny and the Sandman, join forces to protect the imagination and hopes of the children of earth. Adults and children alike will love this untold story of our favorite childhood personalities.  


 

Silver Linings Playbook 

The Weinstein Company 

Director: David O. Russell
