Disaster movie maven Roland Emmerich (Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow) crafts this apocalyptic sci-fi thriller following the prophecy stated by the ancient Mayan calendar, which says that the world will come to an end on December 21, 2012. When a global cataclysm thrusts the world into chaos, divorced writer and father Jackson Curtis (John Cusack) joins the race to ensure that humankind is not completely wiped out. Chiwetel Ejiofor, Danny Glover, Amanda Peet, Thandie Newton, and Oliver Platt round out the cast of this end-of-the-world thriller co-scripted by the director and his 10,000 B.C. writer/composer, Harald Kloser. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

First time feature filmmaker Tracy D. Smith takes the helm for this spirited romantic comedy concerning a single sex toy party organizer who faces increasing pressure from her ailing father to settle down and find a man. Tammy (Sarah-Jane Redmond) may be single, but she's happy that way. She loves her job as much as her freedom, but her father Burt (Gary Chalk) has just fallen severely ill, and he wants to know that his little girl will be well cared for after he is gone. When Tammy moves home to care for her dad, Burt takes advantage of the situation by setting her up with the handsome vice president of his successful company. But while the successful businessman appears to be the ideal marriage candidate in Burt's eyes, the truth is that the vice president has is far more interested in Tammy's openly gay brother Tristan than he is in the president's daughter. As it turns out, Tristan too has been struggling to gain Burt's approval due to the fact that the picky patriarch has deemed his current boyfriend Lucas unacceptable. When Burt makes the decree that no one can date his son until his daughter finds a suitable mate, the desperate Tristan quickly determines to set Tammy up with handsome ex-boxer and aspiring songwriter Sy (Aleks Paunovic). Of course Tristan isn't above offering a little bribery to speed love along, and in order to convince Sy to pursue his sister, the scheming brother offers musically inclined ex-pugilist an opportunity to sing his original, yet abhorrently awful, songs at a popular local bar. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Filmed under the title "The Hunt for Osama," this episode finds Johnny (Anthony Michael Hall) joining the ranks of other psychics like himself in a covert U.S. counter-terrorist organization. For his first assignment, Johnny joins a "remote-viewing" operation to track down a dangerous fugitive terrorist, who though not identified by name bears a striking resemblance to a certain Afghanistan-based Muslim extremist leader. Originally scheduled to air on March 30, 2003, "The Hunt" was bumped back to July 27, presumably (and ironically) by cable TV's round-the-clock coverage of the Iraq war. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

SG-1 heads to the planet PXY887, the source of the valuable element Trinium.
