Now, after not seeing each other for years, Todd’s world comes crashing down on the eve of his wedding when an uninvited Donny suddenly shows up. Trying desperately to reconnect with his son, Donny is now forced to deal with the repercussions of his unbelievably bad parenting skills.

MADAGASCAR 3
This new animated comedy-adventure from Dreamworks turns into a three ring circus for this group of New York city zoo animals who get themselves lost in the wild.
Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Gloria the Hippo and Melman the Giraffe are still fighting to get home to their beloved Big Apple and, of course, King Julien, Maurice and the Penguins are all along for the comedic adventure. Their journey takes them through Europe where they find the perfect cover: a traveling circus, which they reinvent — Madagascar style.

This is the new epic action adventure starring Kristin Stewart (“Twilight”) and Charlize Theron.

But what the wicked ruler never imagined is that the young woman threatening her reign has been training in the art of war with a huntsman (Chris Hemsworth from “Thor”) who was dispatched to kill her. The breathtaking new vision of the legendary tale is from Joe Roth, the producer of “Alice in Wonderland,” producer Sam Mercer (“The Sixth Sense”) and acclaimed commercial director and state-of-the-art visualist Rupert Sanders.

MEN IN BLACK 3
Agents J (Will Smith) and K (Tommy Lee Jones) are back ... in time.
J has seen some inexplicable things in his 15 years with the Men in Black, but nothing, not even aliens, perplexes him as much as his wry, reticent partner. But when K’s life is put at risk, Agent J will have to travel back in time to team up with the young Agent K (Josh Brolin) to try to save his partner, the agency, and the future of humankind.
The executive producers of this film are Steven Spielberg and G. Mac Brown.

DARK SHADOWS
Vampire Barnabas Collins (Johnny Depp) comes alive in the new comedy thriller directed by Tim Burton.
In the year 1752, Barnabas has the world at his feet, or at least the town of Collinsport, Maine. The master of Collinwood Manor, Barnabas is rich, powerful and an inveterate playboy until he makes the grave mistake of breaking the heart of Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green). A witch, in every sense of the word, Angelique dooms him to a fate worse than death: turning him into a vampire, and then burying him alive. Two centuries later, Barnabas is inadvertently freed from his tomb and emerges into the very changed world of 1972.
“Dark Shadows” is the late bonus feature showing Friday and Saturday at the Starlite Drive-in Theatre. 113 minutes. It is rated PG-13 for comic horror violence, sexual content, some drug use, language and smoking.
