Based on the internationally best-selling series of books by Lemony Snicket (aka Daniel Handler) and starring Emmy and Tony Award winner Neil Patrick Harris, Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events recounts the tragic tale of the Baudelaire orphans — Violet, Klaus, and Sunny – whose evil guardian Count Olaf will stop at nothing to get his hands on their inheritance.

The Little Prince – This movie is amazing and a must see! From director Mark Osborne, THE LITTLE PRINCE is a feature length animated film inspired by the French novella Le Petit Prince, first published in 1943 by poet, author and aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. In Osborne’s film, this fable of friendship, love, loss and loneliness is brought to the screen focusing on a young girl we come to know as “The Little Girl,” who is being prepared by her mother for the very grown-up world in which they live. As the little girl adjusts to a new home, school and surroundings, her world is suddenly interrupted by an eccentric, kind-hearted neighbor we come to know as “The Aviator.” “The Aviator” introduces her to a new world where anything is possible, a world that he himself was initiated into long ago by “The Little Prince.” It’s there that “The Little Girl” embarks on a personal odyssey into the universe of “The Little Prince,” a world where it is only with your heart that you can see what is essentially invisible to the eye.
