- StarsNeil Patrick HarrisPatrick WarburtonMalina Pauli WeissmanAfter the loss of their parents in a mysterious fire, the three Baudelaire children face trials and tribulations attempting to uncover dark family secrets.Slightly repetitive even though it’s plot has moved along a great deal. NPH and a few guest stars nail the Snicket dialogue.
- DirectorSusan LacyStarsSteven SpielbergMartin ScorseseRichard DreyfussA documentary on Steven Spielberg, filmmaker.

- DirectorNiels Arden OplevStarsElliot PageDiego LunaNina DobrevFive medical students, obsessed by what lies beyond the confines of life, embark on a daring experiment: by stopping their hearts for short periods, each triggers a near-death experience - giving them a firsthand account of the afterlife.Greater scare setups than original 1990 film, with a solid cast, but lacked that kinetic energy from the original 1990 Joel Schumacher film.
