Showing in the cinema

The Final Destination Nick (Bobby Campo) experiences a premonition of disaster at a race track, that saves him and some friends and strangers from horrific deaths. Only Death feels cheated and continues to stalk the characters. A complete waste of time.

The Soloist Steve Lopez's columns in the Los Angeles Times about his relationship with Nathaniel Ayers, a schizophrenic homeless man who studied music at Juilliard, is now a film. Robert Downey Jr and Jamie Foxx impress in their respective roles as Lopez and Ayers.

Wake Up sid Ranbir Kapoor plays Sid, a spoilt, rich kid sleepwalking through life. A chance meeting with struggling writer Aisha Bannerjee (Konkona Sen Sharma), grows into a friendship that compels him to take a hard look at himself when he flunks out of college and is kicked out of his home.

Aliens in the Attic Two families on a fishing vacation catch more than they bargained for when a meteor shower leaves aliens in the house's attic. These critters can fly across the universe but cannot get out of an attic. Best skipped.

Dance Flick Skewering the song-and-dance genre with the crude moves that set the best of their Scary Movie franchise, the Wayans family provide a perfect flick for a lazy afternoon.

Halloween 2 Yes, it's deja vu time with this sequel to 2007's $80 million (Dh294m) grossing reboot of a franchise that is as hard to kill off as its central character, Michael Myers. He is back with his axe. The ticket money is best spent on your favourite charity.
