Cast: Rhona Mitra, Bob Hoskins, Adrian Lester, Alexander Siddig, David O'Hara, Malcolm McDowell
Authorities brutally quarantine a country as it succumbs to fear and chaos when a virus strikes. The literal walling-off works for three decades – until the dreaded Reaper virus violently resurfaces in a major city. Captain Eden Sinclair (Rhona Mitra) leads a group of elite specialists, urgently dispatched into the still-quarantined country to retrieve a cure by any means necessary. Shut off from the rest of the world, the unit must battle through a landscape that has become a waking nightmare.

NEVER BACK DOWN (PG-13)
Cast: Sean Faris, Amber Heard, Cam Gigandet, Evan Peters, Leslie Hope, Djimon Hounsou
Jake Tyler (Sean Faris) is the new kid in town with a troubled past. He was a star athlete on the football team at home, but in this new city he is an outsider with a reputation for being a quick tempered brawler. After he is unwittingly pulled into a fight, defeated and humiliated, a classmate introduces him to the sport of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). It is immediately apparent to Jake that MMA is not street fighting but rather an art form he wants to master, and he soon finds his mentor in Jean Roqua (Djimon Hounsou), who takes Jake under his wing.

I live in Apex, and don't get out much for fancy meals. I am partial to chain restaurants, and I am sure that's not what you are looking for. In downtown Raleigh, I really love THE MELLOW MUSHROOM, but it's a pizza joint. I also hear people talk about Angus Barn, but it's PRICEY!

Maybe you can find something there!
As far as things going on Easter weekend. There aren't any festivals, but lots to do in Raleigh and surrounding areas.
Umstead Park is really nice, the Governor's Mansion is cool, The Farmer's Market has interesting things to see and buy, and there are several museums in Raleigh that are worth walking through as well. Too many things to list.
I hope you read this. Sorry it took so long for me to see your request.
Have fun in Raleigh!
