吸血鬼猎人:林肯总统(台)
…
19世纪上半叶，后来在美国历史上留下重要足迹的亚伯拉罕·林肯（本杰明·沃克 Benjamin Walker 饰）还只是一个背负着杀母仇恨的年轻人。在一个充满不祥气息的夜晚，他举枪刺杀了仇人，但已经遭受了致命伤的仇家却凶恶反扑。关键时刻，林肯被名叫亨利·斯特吉斯（多米尼克· 库伯 Dominic Cooper 饰）的男人所救。从亨利口中得知，他险些被变成吸血鬼的仇家杀害。经过一番艰苦特训，林肯成为吸血鬼猎人。正值此时，吸血鬼业已蔓延整个美国南部，并渐次向北方推进。
在亨利的指示下，林肯返回城镇，展开了针对吸血鬼似乎永无止境的猎杀，而吸血鬼制造者杰克·巴兹（Marton Csokas 饰）也注意到了这名“索命死神”的存在……

家有顽童
…
Gordon, 28, an aspiring animator, leaves his home in Oregon to sell his ideas to Hollywood. After being told, correctly, that they are quite possibly the most stupid ideas ever and that he needs to spend time rethinking them, he moves back home. But his father, never a kind man, escalates his mean treatment of his rather unconventional son. Meanwhile, Gord has fallen for Betty, an attractive doctor at the hospital where his friend is staying; she happens to use a wheelchair, and to delight in having her paralyzed legs beaten with a bamboo cane; her sexual aggression intimidates him. Gord's family goes to a psychiatrist, and he lies to her that his father molests Gord's brother, Freddy; Gord neglects to mention that Freddy is 25. Soon, Gordon has the house to himself, and comes up with a winning animated series, "Zebras in America" based on his own family. All this is really a framework on which Tom Green hangs his usual crazy stunts.
Tom Green plays Gord Brody, a slacker who dreams of becoming an animator for cartoon shows. He is forced to move back in with his parents, but then refuses to leave. Along the way, he sexually pleasures various farm animals, licks open flesh wounds, accuses his father of molesting his brother, goes scuba diving in a toilet, plays an organ with several sausages attached to it which are suspended in midair, and does a bunch of other stuff that is too insane, offensive, disgusting, or weird to be mentioned here.
好食懶飛搞搞震，氣得父親“紮紮”跳 ！電視搞笑高手湯格連自編自導自演處女作！
終日游手好閒，已經廿八歲了，一直夢想成為荷里活卡通片動畫大師的葛，終於有機會一嚐夢想的工作，但只是暫時性，跟著又跑去芝士工廠做無聊的工作。最後，葛決定回到家去，但父親占士則希望他能長大成熟點，搬離他們，像弟弟法迪般，找一份像樣的工作。葛與父親占士因此事展開父子大戰，葛想出不少古靈精怪的方法來氣父親，弄得占士七竅生煙，使人捧腹大笑……

乔西和猫女乐队
…
对乔西、梅洛蒂和瓦丽三个女孩而言，最新流行趋势、名牌服装化妆品全都一文不值，没有什么比摇滚乐更让她们心动的了！她们终日呆在车库里，穿着不入流的衣服，唱着自己创作的歌曲，梦想着有一天自己也能像摇滚明星一样，在无数歌迷的疯狂尖叫中，站在绚丽的舞台上进行表演。
难以置信地是她们的梦想终于实现了，三个人被乐队经纪人温亚特发现，在对方的安排下，乔西、梅洛蒂和瓦丽成立了“猫女乐队”，并与梅格唱片公司签订了一纸合约，在全国发行了单曲，一切进行得是那么顺利，眼看三个整天做着歌手梦的女孩子就要成为真正的明星。
然而没过多久，乔西她们就发现事情并不象自己想的那么简单，而且自己似乎正慢慢陷入一个大阴谋中，幕后的策划者正是梅格唱片公司的CEO菲奥娜，她伙同温亚特，在乐队的歌曲中加进了可以麻痹听者的信息，凡是听过歌曲的人都会被此信息所干扰，最后被洗脑，这样随着歌迷人数的增长，菲奥娜就可以达到控制整个世界的目的。当女孩们对此阴谋有所察觉时，无情的菲奥娜和温亚特决定先下手为强，她们把乔西培养成歌星，而让“猫女乐队”的另两个成员梅洛蒂和瓦丽“永远地睡去”。
为了朋友，还有全世界喜欢自己音乐的歌迷们，乔西决心带领“猫女乐队”向菲奥娜和温亚特还以颜色，就像乐队的名称一样，“猫女乐队”的“猫女”们这次要卷起袖子，露出尖牙和利爪，向阴谋者给予最强有力的反击！
