Cannibal Diner
While out camping in the woods (when will damned kids learn to not go camping in the woods?), a group of girls are kidnapped by human-flesh aficionados for a feast at their Cannibal Diner, which at least has great Yelp reviews. (MVD)
Defiance: Season 1
In the year 2046, 30 years after aliens arrived and totally effdup Earth, humans and extraterrestrials struggle to coexist, Deadwood-style, in terraformed St. Louis. Starring Julie Benz, Jaime Murray, Mia Kirshner and a survivor of Liz & Dick. (Universal)
Embrace of the Vampire
A remake(!) of the infamously-awful 1995 Alyssa Milano horror-cheese flick: A timid college student (Sharon Hinnendael) may be a vampire, or may soon be hugged by a vampire, or ... it still doesn't make any damned sense, really. (Anchor Bay)
The Heat
A by-the-book FBI agent (Sandra Bullock) and a maverick Boston cop (Melissa McCarthy) reluctantly team up to take down a drug lord; filthy language and filthier behavior ensue. It's the family hit of the year! Gather the kids 'round! (Fox)
Pacific Rim
Gigantic monsters are rising from the center of the Earth, and only men (like Sons of Anarchy's Charlie Hunnam) piloting gigantic-er robots can stop them—until the monsters get even more gigantic-er. It goes on like that. (Warner Bros.)
