Back to the Future: "A bewildered teenage boy fends off his mother's disturbing and unnatural attraction to him."

Cloverfield: "A group of hipster Manhattanites find their plans for the night completely overturned thanks to an unexpected visit from an out of towner."

Inception: "An eclectic group of dreamers meet a poor little rich boy and try to change how he feels about losing his father."

Transformers: "A young man's desire for a car involves him in a philosophical dispute between two metalheads."

Wall-E: "An employee at a garbage dump abandons his job to pursue a woman he's just met."


"Life is a waste of time. Time is a waste of life. Get wasted all the time, and you'll have the time of your life!"
