Super 8 (PG-13): Rather than try to explain this complex thriller, here’s the official summary - In the summer of 1979, a group of friends in a small Ohio town witness a catastrophic train crash while making a super 8 movie and soon suspect that it was not an accident. Shortly after, unusual disappearances and inexplicable events begin to take place in town, and the local Deputy tries to uncover the truth - something more terrifying than any of them could have imagined.

Horrible Bosses (R): Just the title alone would get most people to give this one a chance. The story line is like “Office Space” at the next level – Three friends scheme to murder their bosses when they realize their office superiors are, in a nutshell, making them unhappy. Oh, by the way, it’s a comedy.

Bad Teacher (R): Cameron Diaz plays, well, a bad teacher – foul-mouthed, ruthless and inappropriate. When she gets dumped by her fiancé, she targets a rich, handsome substitute teacher. Someone, in all of this, there are supposed to be a lot of laughs.

Bridesmaids (R): Does anyone else think this is some sort of Thelma & Louise take on "The Hangover?"

Conan The Barbarian - 2011 (R): Hard to imagine this with the Governator and Grace Jones, but here you go.
