Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children

An imaginative, quirky, engaging, 3D, star-studded (Judi Dench, Rupert Everett, Allison Janney, and Kim Dicken), 127-minute, Tim Burton film based on Ransom Riggs's bestselling novel in which a distraught Florida teenager (Asa Butterfield) heads to a Welsh island with his father (Chris O'Dowd) after the mysterious death of his grandfather (Terence Stamp) where he meets a group of strange orphans (Ella Purnell, Cameron King, Thomas and Joseph Odwell, Finlay MacMillan, Lauren McCrostie, Pixie Davies, Hayden Keeler-Stone, Milo Parker, Raffiella Chapman, and Georgia Pemberton) with various unusual powers who are stuck in a Groundhog Day time loop repeating Sept. 3, 1943, and finds himself trying to save them from eyeball-eating monster (Samuel L. Jackson, et al.) and their pipe-smoking, shape-shifting, longtime guardian (Eva Green).
