Pulse
Synopsis: In today's world of modern conveniences, everything we rely on is run by electricity. But what happens if the power we take for granted turns against us? Old man Holger (Charles Tyner) knows. He claims electricity is a living presence, whose voice can only be silenced by getting rid of anything that can hear it. Bill Rockland (Cliff De Young), however, refuses to believe him. It must have been an accident when an electric spark ruptured the gas pipe that nearly killed Bill's son (Joey Lawrence). And it's surely a coincidence when his wife (Roxanne Hart) is severely scalded by their electric water heater. But when his own power tools attack him and an electrical fire turns their home into a blazing inferno, Bill realizes Holger may have been right after all, and perhaps the time has come to finally pull the plug.
STREET DATE: MARCH 7.
What Planet Are You From?
Synopsis: To save his planet of men, an alien named Harold (Garry Shandling, Iron Man 2) is sent to Earth to procreate with a woman. But he's worlds away from understanding the opposite sex. As he hits on every female in sight, he runs into one technical difficulty…his "member" buzzes when he's aroused. On top of that, his pick-up lines are bad and his social skills are worse. Mix in a suspicious FAA official (John Goodman, Argo) and an underhanded co-worker (Greg Kinnear, Little Miss Sunshine) and Harold's mission seems next to impossible. Through it all, Harold's dating game adventures are geared toward one intergalactic goal: scoring – until he meets Ms. Right (Annette Bening, The Kids Are All Right).
STREET DATE: MARCH 7.
