A handful of friends reconnect after a decade and discover how much (and how little) they've changed in this comedy-drama from writer and director Jamie Linden. Ten years after graduating from high school, Jake (Channing Tatum) show up at a class reunion with his longtime girlfriend Jess (Jenna Dewan-Tatum) in tow. Jake was planning to finally propose to Jess over the weekend, but he has second thoughts when he sees Mary (Rosario Dawson), his former girlfriend who is now married to an older man (Ron Livingston). Culley (Chris Pratt), once the school bully, has tried to become a better man and tries to apologize to many of the people he picked on years ago, but after a few drinks his behavior becomes unpredictable, much to the annoyance of his wife Sam (Ari Graynor). Reeves (Oscar Isaac) is the group's success story, a singer-songwriter who has recently scored a hit record, but Elise (Kate Mara), the girl he loved in school, not only isn't aware of his fame, she doesn't realize his best known song is about her. Marty (Justin Long) finds his hard-won maturity goes out the window when he and his old pal AJ (Max Minghella) compete for the attention of Anna (Lynn Collins). And Garrity (Brian Geraghty) has cleaned up his act since graduation, and Andre (Anthony Mackie) isn't about to let him forget about the guy he used to be. Ten Year received its world premiere at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Director Lasse Hallström and screenwriter Jamie Linden collaborate to adapt author Nicholas Sparks' novel about a young soldier who falls for an idealistic college girl. Savannah Curtis (Amanda Seyfried) was on spring break when she first met John Tyree (Channing Tatum), who was home on temporary leave. For the smitten soldier it was practically love at first sight. Over the course of the next seven years, when each deployment seemed more treacherous than the last, the love letters that Savannah sent to John were one of the only things that kept him going. However, those loving and heartfelt correspondences would ultimately yield consequences that neither the brave soldier nor his one true love could have ever foreseen. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Bryce Dallas Howard joins the cast as Victoria, the role originally played by Rachelle Lefevre in the first film. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi

When Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) reluctantly moved to the perpetually overcast town of Forks, WA, and set out to carve a niche for herself, she assumed it would be one similar to the low-profile social position she held back in Phoenix. First on the list of surprises was the unfamiliar attention from the male population of her new high school; second, the attention from one male in particular: Edward Cullen, Vampire (Robert Pattinson). Before long, the unlikely soul mates find themselves in a passionate relationship with a variety of significant setbacks, including Edward's special-needs diet (he doesn't eat humans, but Bella's scent inspires a nearly impossible to harness bloodlust) and the human girl's mortality. Though things proceed relatively smoothly at first (Edward even introduces Bella to his adoptive vampire family), a visiting vampire clan consisting of James (Cam Gigandet), Victoria (Rachelle Lefevre), and Laurent (Edi Gathegi) catches Bella's unique scent and threatens the young couple's budding, if dangerous, happiness. James, known for his powerful tracking ability, becomes obsessed with making Bella his next victim. Fearing for Bella's safety and that of her loved ones, the Cullens must combine their collective talents in order to stop the highly predatory James before his goal is accomplished. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi

Australian-born Whale Rider sensation and Oscar nominee Keisha Castle-Hughes stars opposite Oscar Isaac in Lords of Dogtown director Catherine Hardwicke's dramatic account of the Annunciation, and the arduous journey of Mary and Joseph to give birth to baby Jesus. House of Sand and Fog's Shohreh Aghdashloo co-stars in a film with a screenplay by The Rookie and Finding Forrester scribe Mike Rich. Filmed in the village of Matera, Italy (a locale that has remained virtually untouched by modern progress and also served as the backdrop for Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ), and Quarzazate, Morocco, former production designer Hardwicke's film strives for authenticity in telling the Bible's most treasured tale. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
