MORON 5.2: THE TRANSFORMATION
Moron 5.2 The Transformation follows the lives of the five half-witted long-time friends five years after the events from the first movie where Crying Lady Becky Pamintuan (John Lapuz) sent them to jail after framing them up for killing her father. They are now family men and whose talented and intelligent children are not exactly proud of them. Together on a lonely night, the five moron-friends get unexpectedly struck by lightning.
INTERSTELLAR
In the near future Earth has been devastated by drought and famine, causing a scarcity in food and extreme changes in climate. When humanity is facing extinction, a mysterious rip in the space-time continuum is discovered, giving mankind the opportunity to widen their lifespan. A group of explorers must travel beyond our solar system in search of a planet that can sustain life. The crew of the Endurance are required to think bigger and go further than any human in history as they embark on an interstellar voyage, into the unknown.
THE POSSESSION AT GALLOWS HILL
American widower David Reynolds (Peter Facinelli) and his new fiancée (Sophia Myles) fly to Colombia to fetch his strong-willed and reluctant daughter Jill (Nathalia Ramos) for their wedding ceremony. However, Jill has forgotten her passport and they, together with Jill's boyfriend Ramon and her aunt, must travel in torrential rain along poor roads made treacherous because of the constant downpour. Ignoring the warning they were given by a cop who had advised them to turn back, they continue on for a short while until they end up being washed off the road in a mudslide. They head to a nearby guest house hoping to get out of the rain. The old innkeeper appears to live alone but doesn’t have a phone. The old man warns them not to snoop about the place but that’s precisely what Jill and Ramon do.
LET'S BE COP
Ryan O'Malley (Jake M. Johnson) and Justin Miller (Damon Wayans, Jr.) are two 30-year-old struggling pals who dress as police officers for a costume party. Upon arriving to the party, Ryan’s overactive imagination decides to play the gag for all its worth and they become neighborhood sensations. Justin is initially apprehensive, fearing jailtime and unintended consequences, but goes along with it once he is able to attract the attention of Josie (Nina Dobrev), his longtime crush, who works as a hostess and is a part-time makeup designer.
STONEHEARST ASYLUM
Loosely based on the Edgar Allen Poe story "The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether", Stonehearst Asylum follows Edward Newgate (Jim Sturgess), a recent medical school graduate who accepts a position at a mental institution in London, 1899. There, he is bewitched by a seductive patient named Eliza (Kate Beckinsale). He is coached in the art of caring the mad by Silas Lamb (Ben Kingsley), the facility’s director. Lamb’s techniques don’t always gel with what Newgate learned in school.
ONE CHANCE
