Wolf (Tyler, the Creator) - The movie that redefined the term "blockbuster" makes its way back onto screens (and IMAX) in 3-D just in time for the film's 20th anniversary and the announcement of the fourth film in the series. A group of paleontologists and a mathematician (Jeff Goldblum, Independence Day) are chosen to visit a science-based theme park populated by dinosaurs created from prehistoric DNA. However, when the ferocious predators break free, the trapped visitors must plot their escape all while trying to stay alive. PG. 126 min.

Django Unchained - Set in the South two years before the Civil War, this film follows a slave (Jamie Foxx, Ray) who teams up with bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz (Academy Award winner Christoph Waltz), to seek out the South's most wanted criminals. This violent take on American history also won an Oscar for its screenplay, written by director Quentin Tarantino, and became one of the biggest hits of Tarantino's storied career. Bonus features include behind-the-scenes documentaries highlighting the production and costume design of the film.

Wheelhouse (Brad Paisley) - The ninth studio album from the country superstar is another country rock collection of self-composed songs, this time featuring appearances from Mat Kearney, Dierks Bentley, Hunter Hayes and LL Cool J. Paisley looks to continue the success he achieved with Billboard Country Chart toppers "Southern Comfort Zone" and "Beat This Summer." Paisley also has had crossover hits in the past, and with a variety of collaborators, looks to find more mainstream success on this effort.
