It's finally September which means it's the perfect time for falling leaves, pumpkin patches, hay rides and maybe an old fashioned corn maze! Or if you like your mazes a little more adventurous, make sure to go see The Maze Runner, the highly anticipated adaptation of James Dashner's mega hit. Out September 19, this one looks like it's going to be an adrenaline-filled ride that's sure to appeal to fans of Divergent and The Hunger Games. Just don't get lost on your way to the theater.

More family-friendly is The Boxtrolls --- based on Alan Snow’s HERE BE MONSTERS! --- a stop motion adventure-comedy film that looked stunning in its early trailer.

For Steve Rogers, awakening after decades of suspended animation involves more than catching up on pop culture; it also means that this old school idealist must face a world of subtler threats and difficult moral complexities. That comes clear when Director Nick Fury is killed by the mysterious assassin, the Winter Soldier, but not before warning Rogers that SHIELD has been subverted by its enemies. When Rogers acts on Fury's warning to trust no one there, he is branded as a traitor by the organization. Now a fugitive, Captain America must get to the bottom of this deadly mystery with the help of the Black Widow and his new friend, The Falcon. However, the battle will be costly for the Sentinel of Liberty, with Rogers finding enemies where he least expects them while learning that the Winter Soldier looks disturbingly familiar.
