“The Dark Tower”

Stephen King’s “The Dark Tower” is the most ambitious and expansive story from one of the world’s most celebrated authors. Now, the action adventure story makes its longawaite­d launch to the big screen, starring Idris Elba as Roland Deschain and Matthew McConaughe­y as Man in Black.

The film is directed by Nikolaj Arcel, with a screenplay by Akiva Goldsman, Jeff Pinkner, Anders Thomas Jensen and Nikolaj Arcel, based on King’s novels.

“The Emoji Movie”

The new animated movie unlocks the never-before-seen secret world inside your smartphone. Hidden within the messaging app is Textopolis, a bustling city where all your favorite emojis live, hoping to be selected by the phone’s user.

In this world, each emoji has only one facial expression—except for Gene (TJ Miller), an exuberant emoji who was born without a filter and is bursting with multiple expression­s.

Determined to become “normal” like the other emojis, Gene enlists the help of his handy best friend, Hi-5 (James Corden), and the notorious code breaker emoji, Jailbreak (Ilana Glazer).

Together, they embark on an epic “app-venture” through the apps on the phone, each its own wild and fun world, to find the Code that will fix Gene.

But when a greater danger threatens the phone, the fate of all emojis depends on these three unlikely friends who must save their world before it’s deleted forever.

Directed by Tony Leondis.
