BIG SCREEN
10,000 BC (PG-13) -- Disaster master Roland Emmerich (The Day After Tomorrow, Godzilla, Independence Day) travels back in time to wreak his havoc on prehistoric man in this special effects-intensive adventure epic about a group of hunters who must fend off attacks from rival tribes and hungry wild beasts.
Miss Pettigrew Lives For a Day (PG-13) -- In 1939 London, two women (Frances McDormand and Amy Adams) defy societal rule and let it all hang out for a day. Because this is a chick flick -- and a period piece at that -- it probably results in at least one of them finding true love.
College Road Trip (G) -- A high schooler (Raven-Symone) bound for college is aghast when her overprotective father (Martin Lawrence) insists on accompanying her to visit the campuses of potential universities.
