How To Train Your Dragon

From the studio that brought you “Shrek,” “Madagascar” and “Kung Fu Panda” comes “How to Train Your Dragon.” Set in the mythical world of burly Vikings and wild dragons, and based on the book by Cressida Cowell, the action comedy tells the story of Hiccup, a Viking teenager who doesn’t exactly fit in with his tribe’s longstanding tradition of heroic dragon slayers. Hiccup’s world is turned upside down when he encounters a dragon that challenges he and his fellow Vikings to see the world from an entirely different point of view.

Opens March 26th.

My Brother Is an Only Child (“Mio Fratello e Figilo Unico”)

Don’t be fooled by the melodramatic plot synopsis and walk into the theater expecting a super intense political thriller like I did.
