I’m really looking forward to this. Cute dragons go pretty far with me, and finally learning the mystery of Hiccup’s mother is exciting. The Vikings have been co-existing with the dragons, but now there’s a new threat – the power-mad Drago who seems to have sinister plans for the dragons.

Nick, Jonah, and Haley are off on a cross-country trip when something happens and they wake inside a government facility. They are questioned but no one seems to know exactly what happened to them during their missing time. All signs point to alien abduction, but then things start to get really weird.

Uh oh! High school drama — trouble between cheerleaders and football players leads to one perky blonde seeking supernatural augmentation of her school spirit.  It’s gonna be a slaughter on the football field!  Sounds like good, gory zombie fun to me!

With the tagline “Rearrange your brain,” Coherence promises reality shattering sci-fi, dinner party drama, and white knuckle suspense. Plus, it stars Xander (Nicholas Brendon). Sign me up!

Combining dystopia with science-fiction, Snowpiercer brings together a talented cast to survive on a train containing the last few remnants of humanity. The ice age brought about by efforts to stop global warming might be less dangerous than the stirrings of discontent inside the train. With Tilda Swinton, Octavia Spencer and John Hurt rounding out the cast led by Chris Evans, the film promises to be a dramatic and intense experience.
