>>MOVIES

BEVERLY HILLS CHIHUAHUA (PG)
Cast: Drew Barrymore, Andy Garcia, George Lopez, Piper Perabo, Jamie Lee Curtis

Chloe (Drew Barrymore), a diamond-clad, bootie wearing Beverly Hills Chihuahua enjoys her luxurious lifestyle so much, she hardly notices Papi (George Lopez), a hilarious Chihuahua who happens to be crazy for Chloe. But when the most pampered pooch gets lost in Mexico with only a street-wise German Shepherd (Andy Garcia) to help her find her way home, Papi heads south of the border -- joining forces with a motley crew: three dogs (Placido Domingo, Luis Guzman and Eddie “Piolin” Sotelo), two humans (Piper Perabo, Manolo Cardona), a sly rat (Cheech Marin) and a nervous iguana (Paul Rodriguez) – to rescue his true love.

NICK AND NORAH'S INFINITE PLAYLIST (PG-13)
Cast: Michael Cera, Kat Dennings, Alexis Dziena, Ari Graynor, Aaron Yoo, Jay Baruchel

Nick (Michael Cera) frequents New York's indie rock scene nursing a broken heart and a vague ability to play the bass. Norah (Kat Dennings) is questioning pretty much all of her assumptions about the world. Though they have nothing in common except for their taste in music, their chance encounter leads to an all-night quest to find a legendary band's secret show and ends up becoming the first date in a romance that could change both their lives.
