The latest from Michel Gondry (The Science of Sleep, read that review) finds Jack Black and Mos Def as video store workers who attempt to remake all the tapes Black’s character has inadventently erased (which include Ghostbusters, Robocop, and Driving Miss Daisy) with his magnetized brain.  They become instant celebrities by customers who prefer their versions to the originals.  Danny Glover, Mia Farrow, Paul Dinello, and Melonie Diaz also star.  The misadventure begins everywhere on Friday.  Larger trailer available in the Full Diagnosis.

Justin Welborn, Christopher Tomas, Anessa Ramsey, Scott Poythress, Chad McKnight, and AJ Bowen star in three different perspectives of this tale of a mysterious signal makes people kill.  So it’s like an amped up Pulse without Kristen Bell?  Check out the official site.  The signal starts being heard in limited release in select cities on Friday.  Larger trailer available in the Full Diagnosis.

The Signal
N/A

A small town sheriff (Larry the Cable Guy) finds himself forced into protecting a star witness (Ivana Milicevic).  J. David Moeller, Will Clinger, and Jenny McCarthy also star.  You know I’d make fun of this but it’s sort of like playing keep away with a child with no arms or legs.  Check out the official site.  The “film” makes its way into theaters on Friday.  Larger trailer available in the Full Diagnosis.
