The Box, is a horror film based on the 1970 short story "Button, Button" by author Richard Matheson, which was previously adapted into an episode of the 1980s incarnation of the The Twilight Zone. The film is written and directed by Richard Kelly and stars Cameron Diaz and James Marsden as a couple who receive a box with a mysterious power. Production began in November 2007 and concluded in February 2008. The film is set in Richmond, Virginia in 1976. One night, a financially strapped married couple, Arthur and Norma (Marsden and Diaz), receive a box that has a button. The next morning, a mysterious, disfigured stranger (Frank Langella) tells them that pushing the button will have consequences. They will receive $1,000,000, but someone in the world whom they don't know will die.

The film begins with a CIA internal memo being typed across the screen. It states that a man name Arlington Steward has recovered from his severe burn wounds and is delivering units related to the Mars project. Next, Norma awakes at 5:45AM as the doorbell rings as her husbands sleeps next to her. As she looks through the peephole, she sees a black car drive off, and upon opening the door, sees a package on her doorstep. Inside, she and her husband find a wooden box with a button protected by a glass dome, locked with a key, and a note, saying Mr. Steward will come at 5PM.

Arthur goes to work at NASA, where he works in optics, and helped in designing the camera on Viking Mars probe. He finds he has been rejected from the astronaut program despite acing his tests and glowing recommendations, because he failed his psych exam. Norma goes to her job as a teacher at an elite private school teaching literature, where they are discussing Satre's vision of Hell. One of her student remarks on her limp, after which she shows her class her disfigured right foot, missing 4 toes.

The Men Who Stare at Goats, is a 2009 comedy film by director Grant Heslov due for release on November 6, 2009. It is based on the book of the same title by author Jon Ronson, an account of Ronson's investigation of attempts by US military forces to use psychic powers. The film follows a reporter, Bob Wilton (Ewan McGregor), who stumbles onto the story of a lifetime when he meets a special forces operator, Lyn Cassady (George Clooney). As they embark on a new mission, Lyn reveals his twenty-year involvement in a top secret, psychic military unit and shares details of their activities, each more bizarre than the last (including staring at goats in order to stop their hearts psychokinetically).
The Fourth Kind, is an upcoming science fiction/thriller/horror film directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi, and starring Milla Jovovich. The film is purported to be a documentary reenactment set in Nome, Alaska, and deals with alien abductions. The title is derived from J. Allen Hynek's classification of close encounters with aliens, in which the fourth kind denotes an alien abduction.

The film's trailer states that the story is based on "actual case studies," but does not specify which cases. As a result, much speculation has arisen regarding the search for documented evidence from the actual cases and whether Dr. Abigail Tyler is a real person or a fictional character for use in an internet viral marketing campaign.

A Christmas Carol, is a 2009 film adaptation of Charles Dickens' 1843 story of the same name. The film is written and directed by Robert Zemeckis, and stars Jim Carrey in a multitude of roles, including Ebenezer Scrooge as a young, middle-aged, and old man, and the three ghosts who haunt Scrooge.

A Christmas Carol is a Victorian morality tale of an old and bitter miser, Ebenezer Scrooge (Jim Carrey), who undergoes a profound experience of redemption over the course of one night. Mr. Scrooge is a financier/money-changer who has devoted his life to the accumulation of wealth. He holds anything other than money in contempt, including friendship, love and the Christmas season. But an encounter with the ghostly figure of Jacob Marley (Gary Oldman) sets the stage for a mysterious and magical encounter with three phantasmic beings to help him realize the true magic of Christmas itself.

Michael Jackson's This Is It, is a 2009 American concert film documenting Michael Jackson's rehearsals of the concert series of the same name, both on stage and behind the scenes. The film shows Jackson mentoring his team for the 50 shows, as well as him creating, developing, and ultimately staging the high-tech performances. The footage was filmed at The Forum and the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. Despite originally being set for an October 30, 2009 release date, the film's release date was rescheduled for October 28, 2009, with a limited two-week run. Tickets went on sale a month early on September 27, 2009, to satisfy a high anticipated demand.

On August 10, 2009, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff approved a deal between Michael Jackson's estate, concert promoter AEG Live, and Sony Pictures. This allowed Sony Pictures to edit the hundreds of hours of rehearsal footage needed to create the motion picture. Sony subsequently paid $60 million for the film rights. The trailer first premiered during the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards on September 13, 2009, along with the simultaneous launching of the official movie website.
Gentlemen Broncos, is a 2009 comedy film written by Jared and Jerusha Hess, and directed by Jared Hess. The film stars Michael Angarano, Jemaine Clement, Sam Rockwell and Jennifer Coolidge. Gentlemen Broncos is scheduled to be released theatrically on October 30, 2009. Michael Angarano will portray the teenaged aspiring fantasy writer, Benjamin Purvis. Jemaine Clement will play novelist Ronald Chevalier. Sam Rockwell is cast as the fictional story's title character who appears in book-come-to-life sequences under two guises: one in the teenager's story and the other in Chevalier's story. Jennifer Coolidge is portraying the teenager's mother. Edgar Oliver appears in the film in a small role. Suzanne May is cast as the female heroine in the fictional stories. Halley Feiffer plays Benjamin's friend, Tabatha Jenkins.
The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day, is an upcoming sequel to the 1999 The Boondock Saints. The director of the original film, Troy Duffy, returned to film the sequel, which sees the return of Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus as Irish brothers who act as vigilantes. The film is set to have a limited release October 30, 2009. The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day is the sequel to the cult film The Boondock Saints. It continues writer and director Troy Duffy's saga of fraternal twins, the MacManus brothers. The two have been in deep hiding in the quiet valleys of Ireland, far removed from their former lives or modern technologies. When word comes that a priest has been killed by sinister forces in the tough underworld of Boston (the Yakavetta Crime Family), they return to mount a violent and bloody crusade to bring justice to those who must now suffer the consequences, with a new partner in crime (Clifton Collins, Jr.) aiding them and FBI Agent Paul Smecker's protege (Julie Benz) in pursuit of them.
The House of the Devil, is a 2009 horror film written, directed, and edited by Ti West, starring Jocelin Donahue, Tom Noonan, and Mary Woronov. College student Samantha Hughes takes on a babysitting job in a remote mansion in order to make the down payment on a one bedroom apartment she has had her eye on. The pay is good, but after Samantha is taken to the house by her friend, Megan, she realizes that something isn't quite right. The old couple who live in the house, Mr. and Mrs. Ulman, confess that they in fact do not have any children, and it isn't long before Samantha realizes that she is trapped. As a lunar eclipse darkens the night sky, her employers carry out a horrific ritual with Samantha at the center.
Saw VI, is the sixth installment in the Saw film series. The film, which began shooting on March 30, 2009, will be released in theaters on October 23, 2009.

Saw VI is directed by Kevin Greutert, who has been the editor on all the past Saw films to date. Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan, the writers for both Saw IV and V, have returned to write Saw VI. On April 29, Lions Gate released a brief synopsis of the plot. Details revealed include confirming Agent Peter Strahm's death and Lieutenant Mark Hoffman continuing Jigsaw's work. The FBI is reportedly on Hoffman's trail[6]. This forces him to set up another game. Jigsaw's overall scheme will also be finally understood.[7] The last revealed trap, a "Steam Room," has yet to be expanded on by the producers, but it is said to be a multi-level trap.[8] Recent screens also show Hoffman viewing Strahm's crushed corpse as well as setting up the "Rack" trap from Saw III.
Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant, occasionally advertised as The Vampire's Assistant: The Cirque Du Freak Saga Begins, is the 2009 film adaptation of the first three books of the book series The Saga of Darren Shan by author Darren Shan. The film began principal photography on February 8, 2008 in New Orleans and ended on June 3, 2008.[1] The film will be distributed by Universal Studios. A portion of The Vampire's Assistant was filmed on a set constructed within New Orleans City Park, approximately 1000 feet off of the side of the road, along Harrison Avenue. The film was originally set for release on January 15, 2010, but was moved forward to October 23, 2009. The Vampire's Assistant, based on the popular series of books by Darren Shan called The Saga of Darren Shan, is a fantasy-adventure about a teenager who unknowingly breaks a 200-year-old truce between two warring factions of vampires. Pulled into a fantastic life of misunderstood sideshow freaks and grotesque creatures of the night, one teen will vanish from the safety of a boring existence and fulfill his destiny in a place drawn from nightmares.

16-year-old Darren (Chris Massoglia) was like most kids in his suburban neighborhood. He hung out with his best friend Steve (Josh Hutcherson), got decent grades, and usually stayed out of trouble. But when he and Steve stumble upon a traveling freak show, things begin to change inside Darren. That’s the exact moment when a vampire named Larten Crepsley (John C.

Capitalism: A Love Story, is a 2009 documentary film directed by Michael Moore. The film centers on the financial crisis of 2007–2009 and the recovery stimulus, while putting forward an indictment of the current economic order in the United States and capitalism in general. Topics covered include everything from Wall Street's "casino mentality", for-profit prisons, Goldman Sachs' influence in Washington, DC, the poverty-level of many airline pilots, the large wave of home foreclosures, and the consequences of "runaway greed." The film will be widely released to the public in the United States on October 2, 2009.

The film alternates between a fierce critique of the status quo, personal portraits of the suffering caused by the recent economic crisis, and comical social satire. Some featured stories include an internal Citibank report happily declaring the United States a "plutonomy" (plutocracy), with the top 1 percent of the population controlling more financial wealth than the bottom 95 percent, along with an expose of "dead peasant insurance" policies that have companies cashing in on the untimely deaths of their employees. Additionally, the film contrasts the present economic reality in America with archival footage of US president Franklin D. Roosevelt calling for a Second Bill of Rights that would guarantee all Americans "a useful job, a decent home, adequate health care, and a good education."

The documentary also features a number of positive portrayals, which include bailout watchdog Elizabeth Warren, Wayne County Sheriff Warren Evans who put forth a moratorium on home evictions; and Ohio Representative Marcy Kaptur, who on the floor of the US Congress encouraged Americans to be "squatters" in their own homes, and refuse to be vacated.
