All ogres look forward to St. Feast Day, when they get to eat all the human children they want. But when one ogre gets his teeth knocked out in an accident, he fears his child-gobbling days may be over.

SHOWN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 3D! -- This awe-inspiring nature film follows the personal story of a single loggerhead turtle, one of hundreds of adorable, vulnerable babies born in the sands of the Florida coast, as she grows into a strong-willed adult braving the six-thousand mile journey that has been the species' perilous ritual for millions of years.

Critically acclaimed for visually resplendent nature footage on par with Planet Earth or March of the Penguins, Turtle features sweeping aerial shots and vast, majestic underwater seascapes that help underscore the epic scope of the journey with a survival adventure as tense as any Hollywood thriller.

DIRECTOR IN PERSON! WINNER - LA FILM FESTIVAL! "Charming! Affectionate! Guaranteed to have viewers levitating." - Variety Six teenage magicians travel from around the world to Las Vegas to compete for the title of Teen World Champion. Armed with dazzling tricks and mind-bending illusions, these young contestants hit the stage with routines that range from sexy to comic to flashy, to just plain odd. However, beyond their passion for the art of magic, these master mini-magicians face behind-the-scenese pressure, the loneliness, and desire to fit in that comes with adolescence.

"A rousing, epic crowd pleaser!" - Moving Pictures Magazine
