Newly Released Movies

The Host

Imagine a world where humans no longer control the planet Earth. In “The Host,” Humanity becomes near extinct due to a race of aliens who inhabit their host’s (human’s) mind to take control and live their lives. Only a few true humans are left, rebels who will risk everything to save their loved ones.

Melanie Stryder (Saoirse Ronan), a girl who never stops fighting to protect the ones she loves, even if she longer controls her own body; Wanderer, an alien being who inhabits Melanie and sympathizes towards the humans and feels their emotional pull. Together they join with others to save their loved ones: Jared (Max Irons), Ian (Jake Abel), Melanie’s brother Jaimie (Chandler Canterbury) and her Uncle Jeb (William Hurt), and others.

In what promises to bring the next popular teen romance, “Twilight” author, Stephenie Meyer, brings to life a story that shows love is the most powerful thing in the Universe.

Temptation

Love that seems forbidden can prove the most dangerous, especially unfaithful love. Tyler Perry’s “Temptation” brings to the screen love, marriage, lies, and betrayal. The drama film narrates the story of a couple, Brice (Lance Gross), a pharmacist’s assistant, and his wife Judith (Jurnee Smollett-Bell), a match-making therapist. Judith provides help and advice for troubled couples. However, she finds herself powerless in conquering her own marriage problems. Things get even more complicated and heated up when Judith comes across billionaire Harley (Robbie Jones), whose seduction leads her on a path that she may or may not ever return from.

With the additional attacks from the government, the team, headed by Duke (Channing Tatum) and second-in-command Roadblock (Dwayne Johnson), find themselves on the run from the very people they swore to protect. As if those problems were not enough, the team learns of the possibility of an imposter President and Snake Eye’s (Ray Park) archrival, Storm Shadow (Byung-hun Lee), is alive.

The team will find themselves faced with challenging missions and difficult choices to make.
