Rio Screams to Win Daydreams

Moviegoers!

It's time to see a movie! We're heading out on Tuesday, April 19th to see a movie. But which one? Four possible options, all quite different:
  • Daydream Nation - a coming of age drama
  • Rio - animated family fun
  • Scream 4 - the long-awaited sequel to the slasher flick that redefined everything
  • Win Win - indie drama
Learn a little bit about each one and then vote in the poll at the bottom. Remember: only one vote per household.

Daydream Nation
Story: Seventeen-year-old Caroline Wexler is facing a teenager's nightmare: her widowed father has moved them from the big city to a tiny town in the middle of nowhere. When Caroline realizes she has nothing in common with the burnout losers in her new school she pursues the one person with who excites her interest - her handsome young teacher, Mr. Anderson. A bizarre love triangle ensues between Caroline, Mr. Anderson, and a sweet, but troubled classmate.

Rio
Story: Blu is a domesticated Macaw who never learned to fly, living a comfortable life with his owner and best friend Linda in the small town of Moose Lake, Minnesota. Blu and Linda think he's the last of his kind, but when they learn about another Macaw who lives in Rio de Janeiro, they head to the faraway and exotic land to find Jewel, Blu's female counterpart. Not long after they arrive, Blu and Jewel are kidnapped by a group of bungling animal smugglers. With the help of street smart Jewel, and a group of wise-cracking and smooth-talking city birds, Blu escapes. Now, with his new friends by his side, Blu will have to find the courage to learn to fly, thwart the kidnappers who are hot on their trail, and return to Linda, the best friend a bird ever had.
