"Planes" will zoom into theaters on August 9. Set in the same universe as "Cars" (2006), this Disney film follows Dusty Crophopper, a little plane with big problems.

"Prince Avalanche" opens in select theaters this weekend. The year is 1988. Lance and Alvin are two highway workers who end up stranded together in a remote landscape.

The R rating is due to mature content. David Gordon Green directs.

"Lovelace" is a biopic about actress Linda Lovelace, directed by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman.

When Carol gets fed up with the sexism of the movie industry and the low expectations of her father, she shocks the world by speaking out. The R rating is due to language, including mature references.
