This Week’s New Releases:
Comedy

American Guys Love & Plutonium
SYNOPSIS: (Feature Film)
Suburbiaville is a typical metropolis populated with very atypical characters. Evil genius Dr. Milo Medlo (Ph.D) and his loyal henchman Hank are forever at odds with local good girls Justice Kitten and Little Liberty, maintaining a balance of power so delicate that the rest of Suburbiaville hardly know they exist. But in the world of Good vs. Evil, an upset in the balance could result in world annihilation, or at least unemployment for the good girls and bad guys. So when Dr. Medlo falls in love with a receptionist named Holly and loses his desire for world conquest and various other evildoings, Hank and the lawful ladies must form an unholy alliance to sabotage the relationship or risk losing their livelihoods. Others become involved along the way: a doting mother, a washed-up R&B singer, and a little girl who just may hold the key to a secret that could blow the roof off of Suburbiaville. In this town, as in our lives, it’s a certainty that sometimes love goes boom!

Horror

The Changi Murals AAAAAH!! Indie Horror Hits, Volume 1
SYNOPSIS: (Collection of Short Films)
“4 of 5 stars” – GOREZONE MAGAZINE “…every film offers something fresh and unique to the horror genre… and had me thirsting for more.” – HORROR SOCIETY “… some of the best short films I have seen in a while. This is real film making at it’s best!” – HORROR NEWS “…consider adding this to your horror film collection. You won’t be disappointed.” – THEOFANTASTIQUE These films caused a buzz on the festival circuit – then vanished. If you saw them the first time you know what we mean. If you missed them then, enjoy them now. From a dark, cautionary tale (THE CRYPT CLUB with Alison Pill) to gallows humor on the job (GHOST BUSTED); from the grotesque otherworld inspired by H.P. Lovecraft (THE VEIL) to present-day outbreak fears (THE NINTH ENTRY); from the stylishly bizarre (MY SKIN!) and the chillingly macabre (OCULUS) to the dire family survival drama (OLD FRIENDS from the Director of SAW 6). Dim the lights & dig in for your own private horror film festival.
