Hotel Transylvania and Won’t Back Down

Dracula (Adam Sandler) is the owner and operator of Hotel Transylvania, a high-end resort for monsters to get away from all things dangerous, namely pitchfork-wielding humans. And on the eve of his daughter Mavis’ 118th (Selena Gomez) birthday, he has invited some of the world’s most infamous monsters including Frankenstein’s monster and his bride, Eunice (Kevin James and Fran Drescher); Wayne and Wanda Werewolf (Steve Buscemi and Molly Shannon); Murray the Mummy (Cee Lo Green); Griffin the Invisible Man (David Spade); Bigfoot; the Blob and more to come celebrate. When an oblivious American backpacker, Jonathan (Adam Samberg), stumbles upon the hotel and takes a shine to Mavis, it’s up to Dracula to protect and rescue her from falling in love with him before it’s too late.

Hotel Transylvania, Bravo DesignNick Pinkerton of The Village Voice writes, “In Hotel Transylvania, a comic Dracula still kills. The character design is uniformly delightful, and some of the biggest laughs come from simply hitting the audience unawares with irresistibly hysterical establishing shots.”

The Pirates! Band of Misfits

The Pirates! (Bravo Design, Inc.)Hugh Grant stars as the ambitious, but equally inexpert, Pirate Captain. With a rag-tag crew of amateur pirates at his side, and seemingly blind to the odds stacked against him, the Captain has one dream: to defeat his rivals, Black Bellamy (Jeremy Piven) and Cutlass Liz (Selma Hayek), and win the Pirate of the Year Award.

It’s a quest that takes its audience from far-flung tropical islands to the streets of 19th century London. Along the way, they team up with a young Charles Darwin (David Tennant), and battle the diabolical Queen Victoria (Imelda Staunton), but never lose sight of what pirates love most, adventure.

John DeFore, of The Hollywood Reporter, writes, “The Pirates Band of Misfits is a delightful romp whose varied pleasures should please kids all along the age spectrum. An easy sell at the box office.”

The Pirates! Band of Misfits will be released on April 27.
