Encountering Everest-like conditions, mystical trolls and a hilarious snowman named Olaf, Anna and Kristoff battle the elements in a race to save the kingdom.

After the disappearance of her mother, Clary must join forces with a group of Shadowhunters, who introduce her to a dangerous alternative New York called Downworld, filled with demons, warlocks, vampires, werewolves and other deadly creatures.”

Whoa…someone please toss Miss Utah a lifeline. She was thrown for a loop at the 2013 Miss USA pageant when Nene Leakes asked, “A recent report shows that in 40 percent of American families with children, women are the primary earners, yet they continue to earn less than men. What does this say about society?”
It appears that even though it was Miss Connecticut who emerged the ultimate winner, it was Miss Utah Marissa Powell who stole the show.

Elizabeth Olsen and Oscar Isaac in 'Therese' - Photo by LD Entertainment
LD Entertainment has set a September 27, 2013 release date for the dramatic film Therese starring Elizabeth Olsen (Silent House) and Tom Felton (the Harry Potter franchise), and based on Emile Zola’s novel Thérèse Raquin. Charlie Stratton adapted the story and directed the film, with LD Entertainment’s CEO Mickey Liddell and Head of Production Pete Shilaimon producing.
LD Entertainment says they’ll be presenting the film on the festival circuit, followed by an awards season push.
In addition to Olsen and Felton, the cast of Therese includes Jessica Lange, Oscar Isaac, Shirley Henderson, Matt Lucas, John Kavanagh, and Mackenzie Crook.
The Plot: Therese (Olsen), a sexually repressed beautiful young woman, is trapped into a loveless marriage to her sickly cousin, Camille (Felton), by her domineering aunt, Madame Raquin (Lange). Therese spends her days confined behind the counter of a small shop and her evenings watching Madame play dominos with an eclectic group. After she meets her husband’s alluring friend, Laurent (Isaac), she embarks on an illicit affair that leads to tragic consequences.
