District 9
When aliens come to earth and are unable to leave again, they are forced into a slum in Johannesburg, South Africa, in an area called District 9. After landing on earth,
the Aliens are malnourished, and their mothership in shambles. They are herded into a tin hut community while humans try to figure out what to do with them. After twenty years of tension between the aliens and the humans, the government gives full authority to MNU, a multi national corporation, to evict the aliens to a tent community two hundred kilometers away. They put a sniveling, weakling, corporate bureaucrat, Wikus Van De, in charge of the move. Due to international law, MNU must notify the aliens of their eviction and Wikus is sent into the field to do the notifications. While out in the field, Wikus gets new insight into the needs and plight of the aliens, even though he struggles not to submit to his feelings. Rating: R for violence. Genre: Sci-Fi. www.d-9.com
Post Grad
Ryden Malby (Bledel) had a plan. Do well in high school, thereby
receiving a great college scholarship. Now that she's finally graduated,
it's time for her
to find a gorgeous loft apartment and land her dream job at the city's
best publishing house. But when Jessica Bard (Reitman), Ryden's college
nemesis steals her perfect job, Ryden is forced to move back to her
childhood home. Stuck with her eccentric family - a stubborn
do-it-yourself dad (Keaton), an overly thrifty mom (Lynch), a
politically incorrect grandma (Burnett), a very odd little brother
(Coleman) - and a growing stack of rejected job applications, Ryden
starts to feel like she's going nowhere. The only upside is spending
time with her best friend, Adam (Zach Gilford) - and running into her
hot next-door neighbor, David (Santoro). But if Ryden's going to survive
life as a post grad, it may be time to come up with a new plan. Rating:
PG-13. Genre: Comedy.

Life Partner
Karan and Sanjana are madly in love with each other. Marriage is the
next step to cement their relationship. But is 'love marriage' the right
way to be?
For Bhavesh, his life partner, Prachi comes with the approval of his
family. But is 'arranged marriage' the way forward? Is it right to
prioritize family over marriage? Does Prachi have to prove herself as a
worthy daughter-in-law to qualify as an ideal wife? Jeet is an
accomplished divorce lawyer who does not believe in the institution of
marriage. He can't be monogamous and is often responsible for getting
his clients divorced. But is 'no marriage' the right policy? Will Jeet
ever find a partner and accept matrimony? 'Life Partner' is about three
protagonists struggling on the marital marathon but on different tracks
- three good friends with three different approaches to life. Shot in
plush South Africa, 'Life Partner' is a non-stop laugh riot with its
heart in its place. Rating: PG-13.

Love Aaj Kal
Jai and Meera are a very today couple. They noodle around in London,
figuring out if they are, like, together. That entails mugs of black
coffee and lots
of smart chatter, and eventually, a parting of ways, because they can't
quite get a handle on their feelings. Like, love, you know, who knows?
Veer and Harleen take us back to the 60s. He follows her rickshaw on his
cycle in Purani Dilli, and she takes note of her smitten Sikh suitor
with downcast eye and demure smile. She's a 'soni kudi', he's a 'changa
munda', and there is nary a doubt in their hearts that they are meant
for each other. Imtiaz Ali's new film shuttles between the two time
zones, 'aaj' and `kal', and his twin-set of lovers, as they ricochet
between cities and conviction. We get good-looking locations in London,
Delhi, Calcutta, San Francisco, and exceedingly good-looking people. In
this film you get some really nice moments, what you don't, is a
crackling romance. Rating: PG-13.
