With the help of Kevin's confidant and fearless warrior Quorra (Olivia Wilde), father and son embark on a life-or-death journey across a visually stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and dangerous since Kevin created it, chased by a ruthless villain who will stop at nothing to prevent their escape.

MORNING GLORY (PG-13) 102min
Director Roger Michell (Notting Hill, Venus) sets his smartly and enjoyably funny new romantic comedy with an excellent cast in the world of national morning television programming. The lowest ranked show has just hired a young producer (Rachel McAdams) whose career is on the line. She immediately decides to bring on a legendary but bygone news anchor (Harrison Ford) to co-anchor with the longtime host and former beauty queen (Diane Keaton) while he fills out the end of his contract, but his reluctance and grumpiness test her, even as his co-host is game for anything. Meanwhile, her travails with her new job are taking their toll on her budding relationship with another producer (Patrick Wilson), and soon she finds herself struggling to save everything in her life.

NOWHERE BOY (R) 97min
John Lennon's formative years, before the Beatles, are explored in this biography of the great songwriter, based on a knowledgeable book by his half-sister Julia Baird and directed with insight by Sam Taylor-Wood. Played by Aaron Johnson, young Lennon is a troubled teen in lower-middle class Liverpool, chafing from life with his strict aunt Mimi (Kristin Scott Thomas) who has raised him since her flakey sister (Ann Marie Duff) gave him up when he was a young child. Learning when he is a young man that his birth mother lives nearby gave rise to a new-found relationship, and she taught him to play banjo. His bond with his mother and his discovery of rock-n-roll are formative experiences for him; the effects are soon be found in his lyrics, as by the end of the film, he has formed a band, the Quarrymen, with some school mates including George Harrison and Paul McCartney.
