A group of young drama students are recruited to work in a new haunted house attraction led by impresario Walston Rey (Jeff Combs) whose revolutionary new holographic system allows monsters to be projected throughout the house in an infinite number of variations. As a marketing tool the house Walston has chosen was once the scene of a grizzly massacre perpetrated by Miss Darrode (Diane Salinger) fourteen years ago. Slowly the group begins to realize things are not what they appear as the house locks down and the attractions begin to attack them with murderous intent. The dwindling team must work frantically to shut down the system and understand what is going on. Could it all be just a computer malfunction, an attempt to ruin Walston or has the spirit of Miss Darrode been awakened to take care of some unfinished business.... Directed by Darin Scott.

In The Kids Are All Right, comedic surprise is combined with poignant emotional truth in a funny, vibrant, and richly drawn portrait of a modern family. Nic and Jules (Annette Bening and Julianne Moore) are married and share a cozy suburban Southern California home with their teenage children, Joni and Laser (Mia Wasikowska and Josh Hutcherson). Nic and Jules—or, when referred to jointly by Joni, "Moms"—gave birth to and raised their children, and built a family life for the four of them. As Joni prepares to leave for college, 15-year-old Laser presses her for a big favor. He wants Joni, now 18, to help him find their biological father; the two teenagers were conceived by artificial insemination. Against her better judgment, Joni honors her brother's request and manages to make contact with "bio-dad" Paul (Mark Ruffalo), an easygoing restaurateur. The kids find themselves drawn to the confirmed bachelor's footloose style—especially in contrast to Nic, a principled doctor who has long established their house rules. Jules, who has been looking to start a new career in landscaping, also strikes up a rapport with Paul. As Paul comes into the lives of the forthright four, an unexpected new chapter begins for them as family ties are defined, re-defined, and then re-re-defined. Directed by Lisa Cholodenko (High Art, Laurel Canyon). Official Web Site Chris Vognar's Dallas Morning News review...

Filmmaker Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight, Memento) directs an international cast in an original sci-fi actioner that travels around the globe and into the intimate and infinite world of dreams. Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a skilled thief, the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state, when the mind is at its most vulnerable. Cobb's rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved. Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible—inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime. But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy that only Cobb could have seen coming.

But at the urging of his ex-wife and best friend Jamie (Catherine Keener), John grudgingly agrees to join her and her fiancé Tim (Matt Walsh) at a party. To his and everyone else's surprise, he actually manages to meet someone: the gorgeous and spirited Molly (Marisa Tomei). Their chemistry is immediate.

A 21-year-old new age musician, Cyrus is his mom's best friend and shares an unconventional relationship with her.

In the acclaimed 2007 Spanish horror film [REC], remade as Quarantine in the U.S., a television reporter and her cameraman, covering the night shift in one of Barcelona’s local fire stations for a documentary TV series, respond to an emergency in which an old woman is reported to be trapped in an apartment building. But the TV crew becomes trapped itself—along with fire fighters and police officers—when the police and military seal off the building due to a virulent disease that is infecting people, causing them to turn into bloodthirsty savages. In [REC] 2, only a few minutes have passed since the authorities lost contact with the people trapped inside the quarantined building. Nobody knows exactly what's going on inside. Outside, chaos reigns. For the Special Operations Unit this is a seemingly straightforward mission—to enter the building and analyse the situation. But as we know, appearances can be deceiving... Directors Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza return to direct [REC] 2, exploring new ways to expand the horror genre. Official Web Site

All About Evil is the feature film debut of writer/director Joshua Grannell (better known as midnight movie impresario Peaches Christ). The comic thriller tells the wickedly delirious tale of Deborah Tennis (Natasha Lyonne), a mousy librarian who inherits her father's beloved but old movie house in San Francisco. In order to save the family business, she discovers her inner serial killer and starts turning out a series of grisly short films. Quickly cultivating a rabid legion of gore fans, Deborah makes it a "family" affair by recruiting a nefarious crew to execute her devious plan: the loyal Mr. Twigs (Jack Donner), psychotic twins Veda and Vera (Jade and Nikita Ramsey) and hygienically challenged Adrian (Noah Segan). Her biggest fan, high school student Steven (Thomas Dekker of the recent box office hit A Nightmare on Elm Street), doesn't realize the murders in the movies are real. As Deborah's "actors" keep disappearing, will he catch the blame for the dastardly deeds of this fame obsessed auteur? Rounding out the cast is Cassandra Peterson, better known as Elvira, Mistress of the Dark and John Waters superstar Mink Stole (Pink Flamingos, Serial Mom). Official Web Site
