Lifelong platonic friends Zack and Miri look to solve their respective cash-flow problems by making an adult film together. As the cameras roll, however, the duo begin to sense that they may have more feelings for each other than they previously thought.

Two of the busiest actors in L.A. get down for Kevin Smith and his legion of sex-hungry fanboys who probably won’t take the second to realize that Elizabeth Banks and the slimmed down Seth Rogen look more like sister and brother than potential soulmates. As the f-word pings around theaters in THX, look for Banks to pull a Heigl and outshine her male counterpart; meanwhile here’s hoping Kevin S. pulls away from Harvey W. and makes Red State his follow-up project.

Rated R on appeal for strong crude sexual content including dialogue, graphic nudity and pervasive language.

Trapped in an isolated gas station by a voracious Splinter parasite that transforms its still living victims into deadly hosts, a young couple and an escaped convict must find a way to work together to survive this primal terror.

An ex-con and his girlfriend dupe a young couple into driving them to Mexico, though the trip is beset with troubles, namely, a parasite that prey on humans and turns its victims into deadly hosts. Now holed up in a remote gas station, can the unlikely alliance outlast their attacker?

The first movie from visual-effects vet Toby Wilkins has earned a limited Halloween release, which is more you can say about his in-production, direct-to-DVD project, The Grudge 3. Horror-loving insiders love the movie, and here’s what else I know: It’s not long before one of the quartet pushes up daisies, violently. We’re expecting the trailer for this one any day now.

Rated R for violence/gore and language.

An employee at an Indian call-center travels to San Francisco to be with a guy she falls for over the phone. A beautiful credit card phone operator lives in India but pretends to be American to her callers, an Indian credit card phone operator travels to San Francisco for a romantic liaison with a man she met through her work. Upon her arrival in San Francisco, however, she decides to keep her true identity a secret, which threatens to dampen the sparks between her and her potential beau.

Producer Ashok Amritraj has a mixed track record here in the U.S., with plenty of hits and misses during his nearly 25 years in the business. This romantic comedy is an experiment; Amritraj wants to see if he can successfully import some Indian stars to America, and vice versa. While I feel like the former landscaper’s physique will turn heads in any country, I don’t think it’s going to be on display in this good-natured affair. Ditto Metcalfe’s lesser-known co-star, Sara Foster, who looks like a supermodel from yesterday (but, you know, updated for today) without the résumé to back it up (yet).

Rated PG-13 for some suggestive material.

As seniors in high school ,Troy and Gabriella struggle with the idea of being separated from one another as college approaches. Along with the rest of the Wildcats, they stage a spring musical to address their experiences, hopes and fears about their future.

The third High School Musical is bigger and there is more. More people. More dancing. More songs. More fun. But this time it is also more serious. Because its time for decisions. And time for good-byes – however brief they may be.

First that the dance numbers. Their dancing, singing and acting was simply incredible.

The soundtrack is fifty-one minutes long; thirteen minutes longer, making it the longest album of the film series. The original length for the first two soundtracks were thirty eight minutes.
