Beautiful Creatures
If you loved Twilight, True Blood, The Vampire Diaries, Hemlock Grove and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, you’ll probably tolerate this supernatural tale of star-crossed teens and the scenery-chewing adults who vex them so. (Warner Bros.)

The Last Stand
An ex-LAPD-cop-turned-creaky-border-town-sheriff (Arnold Schwarzenegger) takes on a psychotic drug kingpin (Eduardo Noriega) in the violent showdown flick that has critics exclaiming, “At least it’s not Expendables 2!” (Lionsgate)

Love Sick Love
A noncommittal businessman (Matthew Settle) is kidnapped by his unbalanced “girlfriend” and forced to spend the weekend with her equally loony family in the country. Is it a romantic comedy or a horror movie? Yes—am I right, guys? (Monarch)

Parker
A screwed-over thief (Jason Statham) is out for payback against his crew, with a little help from a chardonnay-guzzling real-estate agent (Jennifer Lopez). Selling points: gunplay, violence, half-naked J-Lo and Statham’s “Texas” accent. (Sony)

True Blood: Season 5
Bill and Eric work for the Vampire Authority! Alcide quits the wolf pack! Jason puts the moves on Jessica! Sam chases shifter-killers! Tara’s dead and loving it! Sookie is still annoyingly alive! Lafayette don’t care! Shirt shortage in Bon Temps! (HBO)
