What's the story? It's the end of yet another night at Hastings Supermarket, an idyllic family grocery store in Buck Lake, Arizona. But the normal closing-time monotony is broken when a group of masked and armed-to-the-teeth militants invade the store, immediately killing several of the employees and shoppers and holding the rest hostage. Though the hostage-takers at first appear to be robbers or terrorists, they reveal themselves to be a cadre of rogue scientists that have discovered and tracked an alien infestation to THIS STORE on THIS NIGHT, and they are determined to find out which survivors are extra terrestrials and end the invasion at any cost.

Reasons to watch this flick: A minimal sci-fi flick which keeps on getting interesting as the suspense builds up to a rather mediocre climax.

What's the story? An elite military unit (SG-1) must flee back to Earth when two members of their team inexplicably disappear into thin air. But they return to a world in which the Stargate - an Ancient device which allow them to travel to hundreds of planets - was never discovered, and their own history has been erased. Now they must convince a dubious government and military that the timeline was altered by a powerful Alien enemy (Ba'al) in order to conquer Earth, and time is not on their side...

Reasons to watch this flick: This one was way better than the previous 'Ark Of Truth'. Time travel was the key ingredient here around which the entire plot revolved. I have to admit that I generally develop an instant liking for time travel movies.

What's the story? The House Bunny follows Shelly, a Playboy bunny who finds herself "too old" to be a bunny anymore. Thrown out of Hef's mansion, she wanders onto a college campus where she discovers a sorority of "nerdy girls" and she becomes their housemother. From the trailer, it looks like she teaches them how to put on makeup and short skirts (the keys to success, apparently?) though by the end of the trailer Shelley herself seems to have learned about the benefits of being a "smart girl".

Reasons to watch this flick: "Watching Faris prance about playing Playboy's dumbest blonde is worth the price of admission in itself, so go in with your brain on neutral and the movie for all it is: A simple, seductive, slice of late-summer sunshine." - Cinematical

Reasons to watch this flick: After watching David in Californication, he actually appears to be kind of a loser in here... LOL! Jokes apart, the storyline is great just that the movie could have been better without that psychic shit.

What's the story? Sarah is an autistic girl whose father is worried about her health. Concerned for her, her father sees her removal from the hospital by force as the only option. An elevator breakdown prevents a smooth exit and leaves them trapped with others. Yet the incident is only the beginning of a descent into nightmare. As the doors open the hospital appears mysteriously deserted. When mutilated bodies are found, creatures from a dark world start a frightening attack. It soon becomes clear that the survival of the group may rest solely on the little girl.

Reasons to watch this flick: The suspense buildup is fantastic but ultimately leads to a baseless conclusion. Would have been a close to perfect horror movie, just if they had a thoughtful ending.
