There, her unique personal style immediately sets her apart from her self-absorbed, fast-living peers, especially reigning fashionistas Inga (Daniella Monet) and Trish (Kelly Vitz), who can't quite figure her out but know that everything about her is different - from her super-smarts and retro manners to her perfect picnic lunches and penny loafers. But Nancy has more important things to think about - namely, a brand new mystery. Even though she promised her worried dad (Tate Donovan) that she'd quit the “sleuthing” business, it isn't long before Nancy gets a lead on one of the greatest unsolved cases of all time: the mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of famous actress Dehlia Draycott (Laura Harring).

* Ocean's Thirteen - What are the odds of getting even? Danny Ocean (George Clooney) and the gang (Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, etc.) would have only one reason to pull off their most ambitious and riskiest casino heist - to defend one of their own. But they're going to need more than luck on their side to break The Bank. Ruthless casino owner Willy Bank (Al Pacino) never imagined that the odds were against him when he double-crossed Danny Ocean's friend and mentor Reuben Tishkoff (Elliott Gould), putting the distraught Reuben in a hospital bed in critical condition. But Bank miscalculated - badly. He may have taken down one of the original Ocean's eleven, but he left the others standing and, worse for him, gave them a shared purpose: to take Bank down on the night of what should be his greatest triumph - the grand opening of his new casino, appropriately named The Bank. Their strategy is twofold. First they will ruin him financially by turning the tables on the precept that the house always wins. The knockout punch will be to Bank's personal pride and joy: his reputation as the only hotelier who has earned the Royal Review Board's Five Diamond Award on every single one of his hotels. (PG-13 for brief sensuality.) Florence Cinemas, Pony Village Cinemas, Savoy Theatre.

* Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End - Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) are allied with Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) in a desperate quest to free Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) from his mind-bending trap in Davy Jones' locker, while the terrifying ghost ship, The Flying Dutchman, and Davy Jones, under the control of the East India Trading Company, wreaks havoc across the Seven Seas.

(PG-13 for intense sequences of action/adventure violence and some frightening images.) Pony Village Cinemas.

* Shrek the Third - Being king isn't for everyone - especially if you're a prickly ogre who smells like the shallow end of a swamp. When Shrek (voice of Mike Myers) married Fiona (Cameron Diaz), the last thing he wanted was to rule Far Far Away, but when his frogger-in-law, King Harold, suddenly croaks, Shrek is quickly fitted for the crown. Now, unless he can find a suitable replacement, he'll be royally screwed for the rest of his days. So Shrek sets off on a quest to find the only other possible heir to the throne, Fiona's long-lost cousin Artie (Justin Timberlake), an underachieving medieval high schooler. While the ogre is away, his old nemesis Prince Charming (Rupert Everett) returns to Far Far Away with redemption on his shallow little mind. Even with Donkey (Eddie Murphy) and the ever-so-suave Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas) by their side, it's going to take an ogre-sized effort - and a lot of help from Fiona and her princesses - for Shrek and Artie to save the day.
