End Game A crazed serial killer (‘rassler Kurt Angle!) targets a detective, his wife, his daughter and his stripper mistress (Survivor’s Jenna Morasca!) in a psychothriller game of cat-and-mouse. Or is that cat and mice? Meeces? Whatever. (FirstLookStudios.com) |

Terminator Salvation In a twist, a man from the past (OK, the present) travels to the post-apocalyptic future to help John Connor (Christian Bale, in the movie for all of five minutes) destroy Skynet and them Terminators. The TV series was still better. (WarnerBros.com) |
