Based on the short film Alive in Joburg by Neill Blomkamp, which was awesome. Should be good.
Inglourious Basterds

Quentin Tarantino does WWII, so expect lots of swearing and blood and violence, and probably a good time. Also, yeah, it’s misspelled – on purpose, apparently.

A poetry teacher cannot relate to his son.
Actually looks pretty good, a dark comedy written and directed by Bobcat Goldthwait.

Whip It

The Box
10/30/2009
Based on a Twilight Zone episode, a couple is given a box with a button in it, and told if they push the button, someone they have never met will die, and they will be given a million dollars.
I dunno… was a cool Twilight Zone episode, but dunno if this looks as well written. Might be good, though.
