Chrismas Got Run Over By A Reindeer!!!

This fun film is like Christmas with the Kranks meets the elk from the Ring 2!!! A family (let's call them the Kranks) decides that they're not going to celebrate Christmas this year... they're just going to take it easy. They rent out a lake house in the small town of Eiderdown, Washington. It was the wrong town to pick for 2 reasons--1) The folks in Eiderdown LOVE Christmas! Eiderdown is in fact the Christmas Tree Capitol of the United States! Every year, approximately 1300 Christmas trees are harvested from the dark, green mountains surrounding the town. 2) Those same lush, dark, green mountains are also home to some hungry-for-human-flesh elk (or reindeer, I mean, hey--this is a Christmas movie!). They start attacking the Eiderdowners on the street. The elk put the dead Eiderdowners' clothes on their antlers like flags of victory. The remaining Eiderdowners (including that Kranky "we're not going to celebrate Christmas" family) barricade themselves in the town hall, where they were ironically planning on being that night anyway because they were going to have the town's annual Christmas tree Charity Auction. 100 (!) different trees had been decorated and placed in the town hall for a showcase. This night however, their thoughts turned from helping others to helping themselves. They sharpened the points of all the Christmas trees and laid them on the ground. They then tied Christmas lights around them, so that they could raise the tips. Then--they opened the doors, and hilarity ensues!!! Just picture an entire herd of crazed elk running down poor Eiderdowners, only to be skewered, at the last second, on a beautiful Christmas tree. So much red and green! The Kranks learn a valuable lesson--you should never not celebrate Christmas or not have a Christmas tree.

Gladiator

There is a Gladiator who is a gladiator among gladiators. His bronze skin glistens. His hard eyes are like blue diamonds. His hair is cut like a Roman. He fights for many things, especially for his wife. He doesn't know that she is dead though. Whenever he wins, he asks the crowd what they want to see -- "Do you want to see his blood?" They always yell back a response, and no matter what it is, he kills them anyway, because you can't escape death.

To Kill a Mocking... Guy

This movie starts with a bunch of small children talking about what they want to do when they grow up. After several different responses we finally come to William our main character, who says that he wants to be a serial killer. We then see several different shots of William as he is growing up, sitting in front of the tv watching a news report about a serial killer, reading a stack of books in the library about different murder cases, reading an anatomy book and making different cuts on a dummy, and he does various other things to prepare him to be a world class serial killer. Then he plans out the perfect murder to start his career as a serial killer but he is unable to follow through with it. He just can't bring himself to kill someone. William gets really depressed and doesn't know what to do with his life because he can't be what he always wanted to be. Then one day William sees an ad on tv offering a reward for any information leading to the arrest of a serial killer. William thinks that he will be able to solve the case because he knows so much about serial killing. But as he gets deeper and deeper into the investigation William realizes that the serial killer is using all of Williams methods and plans, and the serial killer realizes that someone is on his trail. So it becomes a contest to see who can out serial kill the other. When things get dangerous will William finally be able to overcome his fears and murder someone dead?

Diversity 3

A man is standing on a ledge, holding a notepad and a pen. He writes something, then sets them both down. There's a crowd gathered. A policeman on a megaphone is trying to talk him down. The man moves as if to jump, then stops and says, "April Fools! I'm not going to kill myself! It's all a big joke!" Everyone is laughing, and then the man jumps to his death. We pan over to the notepad and it says "Double Sike! Not everyone has the same sense of humor, and that's ok. Diversity!"
