Poltergeist

The Freelings live in a growing housing Estate where Steve (Craig T. Nelson) works as a salesman selling new houses. One night young Carol Anne becomes fascinated by the late night static on the TV after the programming ends and begins to converse with the "TV people".

Soon, things in the house begin to move by themselves and Diane (JoBeth Williams) observes highly repeatable behaviour in the Kitchen where things move across the floor.

This all seems quite fun. Carol Anne says the "TV people" are behind it all.

Funnily enough, no good will come of this.

Young lawyer Hal Dockins (Mamdou Athie) thinks they've used the process to assess the company's vulnerability to bankruptcy and are holding out to buy it after foreclosure.

Jerry is keen to sue over this sharp practice and Hal has an unusual suggestion. Instead of using their usual lead lawyer they should take on the flamboyant Willie E. Gary (Jamie Foxx) who's won dozens of high profile cases.

There's a problem though: Willie E. Gary doesn't practice contract law.

Boss Level

Roy Pulver (Frank Grillo) is having a bad day. Over and over again. Badass as he is, having a squad of idiosyncratic assassins try to kill you from the moment you wake is no fun. Also at some point he's realised the only woman he ever really loved died and it's got something to do with this.

No matter. He's got time.

AI: Artificial Intelligence

In a world ravaged by climate change and war resources are scarce but some of the world has not descended into Mad Max style barbarism. Instead what we see of humanity lives a life of hedonism tended to by mecha: robots of varying complexity that have no wants of their own.

When the Swinton's son Martin is put into a coma to delay the progress of an incurable disease they are offered a prototype mecha David (Haley Joel Osment) that is capable of emotion and more complete human interaction to assauge their grief.

This does not go as planned.
