The Cherry Creek Theater (3000 E 1st Ave)
Pixar Animation Studios and director John Lasseter hit the road with a fast-paced comedy adventure set inside the world of cars. Lightning McQueen, a hotshot rookie racecar driven to succeed, discovers that life is about the journey, not the finish line, when he finds himself unexpectedly detoured in the sleepy Route 66 town of Radiator Springs. On route across the country to the big Piston Cup Championship, McQueen gets to know the town’s offbeat characters –including Sally, Doc Hudson, and Mater – who help him realize that there are more important things than trophies, fame and sponsorship. Fueled with plenty of humor, action, and heartfelt drama, CARS is a high octane delight for moviegoers of all ages.

X-Men: The Last Stand Quiz & Contest
Wednesday, May 24th @ 7:00pm Colorado Center Theater (I-25 & Colorado Blvd)
In X-Men: The Last Stand, the climax in the X-Men motion picture trilogy, a cure for mutancy threatens to alter the course of history. For the first time, mutants have a choice: retain their uniqueness, though it isolates and alienates them, or give up their powers and become human. The opposing viewpoints of mutant leaders Charles Xavier, who preaches tolerance, and Magneto, who believes in the survival of the fittest, are put to the ultimate test – triggering the war to end all wars.

Within the framework of an epic, action-packed story, X-Men: The Last Stand raises issues with strong contemporary relevance: Is conformity an antidote to prejudice? Is it cowardice to give up individuality to fit in and avoid persecution? Do ends justify means? Is great power a blessing or a curse?

This movie is rated PG-13.
