The X-Files: I Want to Believe
(PG13)
1:15, 3:40, 7:05, 9:35
Late Show, Friday and Saturday: 11:55
When a group of women are
abducted in the wintry hills of rural Virginia, the only clues to their
disappearance are the grotesque human remains that begin to turn up in snow
banks along the highway. With officials desperate for any lead, a disgraced
priest's questionable "visions" send local police on a wild goose chase and
straight to a bizarre secret medical experiment that may or may not be connected
to the women's disappearance. It's a case right out of The X-Files. But the FBI
closed down its investigations into the paranormal years ago. And the best team
for the job is ex-agents Fox Mulder and Dr. Dana Scully, who have no desire to
revisit their dark past. Still, the truth of these horrific crimes is out there
somewhere... and it will take Mulder and Scully to find it!

Labyrinth," "Hellboy").
After an ancient truce existing between humankind and the invisible realm of the
fantastic is broken, hell on Earth is ready to erupt. A ruthless leader who
treads the world above and the one below defies his bloodline and awakens an
unstoppable army of creatures. Now, it's up to the planet's toughest, roughest

Late Show, Friday and Saturday: 11:30
There are heroes... there are
superheroes... and then there's Hancock (Will Smith). With great power comes
great responsibility – everyone knows that – everyone, that is, but Hancock.
Edgy, conflicted, sarcastic, and misunderstood, Hancock's well-intentioned
heroics might get the job done and save countless lives, but always seem to
leave jaw-dropping damage in their wake. The public has finally had enough – as
grateful as they are to have their local hero, the good citizens of Los Angeles
are wondering what they ever did to deserve this guy. Hancock isn't the kind of
man who cares what other people think – until the day that he saves the life of
PR executive Ray Embrey (Jason Bateman), and the sardonic superhero begins to
realize that he may have a vulnerable side after all. Facing that will be
Hancock's greatest challenge yet – and a task that may prove impossible as Ray's
wife, Mary (Charlize Theron), insists that he's a lost cause.
