Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs

After the events of "Ice Age: The Meltdown," life begins to change for Manny (Ray Romano) and his friends. Scrat (Chris Wedge) is still on the hunt to hold on to his beloved acorn, while finding a possible romance in a female sabre-toothed squirrel named Scratte.

Manny and Ellie (Queen Latifah), having since become an item, are expecting a baby, which leaves Manny anxious to ensure that everything is perfect when his baby arrives.

Diego (Denis Leary) is fed up with being treated like a housecat and ponders the notion that he is becoming too laid-back. Sid (John Leguizamo) begins to wish for a family of his own, and so steals some dinosaur eggs, which leads him into a strange underground world where his herd must rescue him. This is when Sid meets a one-eyed weasel known as Buck (Simon Pegg) who hunts dinosaurs. (PG) Main St. Cinemas

My Sister's Keeper

Sara (Cameron Diaz) and Brian Fitzgerald (Jason Patric) have just been informed that their young daughter Kate (Sofia Vassilieva) has leukemia, and that she only has a few years to live. The doctor suggests they try an unorthodox medical procedure of producing another child in a test-tube that would be a perfect match as a donor for Kate.

Sara will try anything to save Kate, and they have a new baby, Anna, (Abigail Breslin) to be used as a donor for Kate. The first thing they use is blood from the umbilical cord for Kate. As years go on, the doctors must take bone marrow from Anna to give to Kate. At age 11, the next thing Anna must give to her sister is a kidney.

Anna has had enough of all of these medical procedures, and she decides to sue her parents for medical emancipation and the right to decide how her body will be used. The whole family is being torn apart by Anna's decision because everyone knows what will happen to Kate if she doesn't get a new kidney. (PG-13) Harkins Theatres, Main St. Cinemas

Public Enemies

Depression-era bank robber John Dillinger (Johnny Depp) was a charismatic criminal 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 also a folk hero to much of the downtrodden public.

No one could stop Dillinger. No jail could hold him. His charm and audacious jailbreaks endeared him to almost everyone, from his girlfriend Billie Frechette (Marion Cotillard) 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, which eventually includes the sociopathic Baby Face Nelson (Stephen Graham), 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 and sent in Purvis, the dashing "Clark Gable of the FBI." However, Dillinger and his gang outwitted and outgunned Purvis' men in wild chases and shootouts.

Only after importing a crew of Western ex-lawmen who were real gunfighters and orchestrating epic betrayals, from the infamous "Lady in Red" to the Chicago crime boss Frank Nitti (Bill Camp), were Purvis and the FBI able to close in on Dillinger. (R) Main St. Cinemas
