The Fab Four is noted for its excellent renditions of hits like, "Can't Buy Me Love," "Yesterday" and "Hey Jude." Its repertoire covers nearly the entire Beatles catalog, as well as some of the players' solo material. The band adds to the realism of its shows with three costume changes charting the evolution of their honorees over the years of their career.

Movie Day -- Tuesday, July 19, 2011

Zookeeper

In "The Zookeeper," the animals at the zoo adore their caretaker Andrew (Kevin James), an amiable but lonely guy who's never quite fit in. Finding himself more comfortable with a lion than a lady, Andrew decides he should leave the zoo and get a life. When the zoo animals discover his plan they decide to break their code of silence and reveal their biggest secret: they can talk! Now they won't shut up and they're teaching Andrew nature's best mating rituals. To help him win the girl of his dreams (Rosario Dawson) and save their happy family they're willing to do - or say - anything. PG
