The Liberty Theater is going big this month, opening with "Oz, The Great And The Powerful" running April 5, 6, 7, 9, 12, 13, 14 and 16. The film is estimated to have cost $215 million to produce and brings some of the most stunning visual elements film has to offer.

"Oz" stars James Franco as Oz, Mila Kunis, Rachel Weisz and Michelle Wil- liams in a fantastical land where a power struggle be- tween three witches creates a transforming rift. Upon his arrival to the enchanted land, Oz believes he has struck the jackpot in fame and fortune while the witches have other plans for him.

The silver screen gets silly with DreamWorks' "The Croods." A cave-family loses their cave to an avalanche and must venture into a col- orful, unknown world to save themselves from "the end." The 98-minute long family- friendly film stars Nicolas Cage, Ryan Reynolds and Emma Stone and was di- rected by Kirk De Micco and Chris Sanders. "The Croods" will play at the Liberty The- ater April 19, 20, 21 and 23.
