The fourth season of "reality" series The Hills finds the usual cast of characters entrenched in even more high stakes drama than in previous years. As Stephanie finds it more and more impossible to divide her loyalties between Spencer and Lauren, Audrina and Lo develop a tension that threatens to boil over. Meanwhile, Lauren starts dating Doug, an ex from her Laguna Beach days who might be hiding a secret about himself and Stephanie. ~ Cammila Albertson, All Movie Guide

Scary Movie screenwriters Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer join forces to parody the "biggest" movies ever to hit the silver screen in this comedy that gives such popular box-office hits as Pirates of the Caribbean and Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe the same treatment that Scary Movie gave to the slasher subgenre. A virtual smorgasbord of spoof, Epic Movie tells the tale of four fully grown orphans: one the victim of snakes that attacked her plane, another raised by a kindly Louvre curator, the third a Mexican "libre" wrestling refuge, and the last an average mutant from an "X"-community. When the curious quartet visits a sprawling chocolate factory, they stumble across a magical wardrobe which transports them to the enchanted land of Gnarnia. It seems that the wondrous fantasy land has recently fallen under the spell of the evil White Bitch (Jennifer Coolidge), and in order to bring peace back to Gnarnia these four bumbling mortals will have to join forces with a charismatic pirate, a painfully sincere group of aspiring wizards, and one particularly libidinous lion. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Season one of Laguna Beach zeroes in on nine teenagers who live in the titular California community as they sweat out their final months of high school. Narrating the action is party-loving L.C. (aka Lauren Conrad), who is fond of a boy named Stephen Colletti. Unfortunately, Stephen is dating Kristin Cavalleri, which may explain why Kristin and L.C. have nary a kind word for one another. Also seen during the first season are Trey Philips, who is one of Stephen's best friends and is torn between acting cool and expressing his inner sensitivities; Dieter Schmitz, who has already drawn up plans to attend the same college as Stephen; Morgan Olsen, whose lofty dreams are destined for a collision course with grim reality; Lo Bosworth, a fashion-conscious lass who seems destined to be the next Paris Hilton; Christina Schuller, daughter of a TV evangelist and an aspiring Broadway star; and Talan Torierro, an athlete and chick magnet. The season ends with everyone except juniors Kristin and Talan graduating and heading off to college -- but that doesn't mean we've seen the last of them. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
