The 9 Most Secretly Sci-Fi Movies
Universal
Regarding August science fiction movies about mental enhancements: there was never just one!

But before all of that, Garfield also gave an impressive acting tour-de-force in "Never Let Me Go."

9 Fall Sleepers to Watch For
Focus
You know about "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." You know about Shia LaBeouf and the "Wall Street" sequel, Robert Rodriguez's "Machete" and the Facebook movie (aka "The Social Network").
