Plot: Thirty years ago, aliens made first contact with Earth. Humans waited for the hostile attack, or the giant advances in technology. Neither came. Instead, the aliens were refugees, the last survivors of their home world. The creatures were set up in a makeshift home in South Africa's District 9 as the world's nations argued over what to do with them. Now, patience over the alien situation has run out. Control over the aliens has been contracted out to Multi-National United (MNU), a private company uninterested in the aliens' welfare - they will receive tremendous profits if they can make the aliens' awesome weaponry work. So far, they have failed; activation of the weaponry requires alien DNA. The tension between the aliens and the humans comes to a head when an MNU field operative, Wikus van der Merwe (Sharlto Copley), contracts a mysterious virus that begins changing his DNA. Wikus quickly becomes the most hunted man in the world, as well as the most valuable - he is the key to unlocking the secrets of alien technology. Ostracized and friendless, there is only one place left for him to hide: District 9.

Oh My Girl (OMG) is a story of two childhood best friends who are separated by fate, only to be reunited years later. It is directed by Dante Nico Garcia (Ploning) under Regal Films.

Synopsis: At the local orphanage in the sleepy town of Taal, Batangas, lived two children Opao (Judy Ann Santos) and Biboy (Ogie Alcasid) who have been each other’s soul mate and best friend for as long as they can remember. Promising to stay together forever, Biboy even makes a song that would be their way of finding each other if ever they got separated. But the real world interferes and breaks their promise. And the two orphans are torn apart.

Opao is adopted by an ambitious spinster cum former starlet, Madam Annie, whose only wish was to have a daughter who could live her failed dreams of stardom. And so she molded Opao until the fat kid with a mole on her face is transformed into DARLING the hottest superstar of today’s generation.

Biboy on the other hand was also adopted by a star – a drag queen star famous in Sampaloc Metro Manila, Crisp Pop, who is touched by the boy’s story of losing his best friend. She took Biboy in her own home and gave him a simple, decent albeit unusually colorful life as her assistant in a costume and dress shop. Biboy eventually grows up to be a small entrepreneur, running his own cell phone repair business.And one thing fo sure, Biboy has never forgotten Opao, the first and last love of his life. As he grew older he began trying to find Opao–if not literally then figuratively.

He looked for her in every girl he dates (big women with moles on their faces) and dedicated every cell phone he repaired to the memory of their friendship by putting a sampaguita petal inside every battery pack, as a way of saying sorry for letting her go.

Then one fine evening, Fate smiled and decided it’s time for the two soul mates to reunite. Darling goes on television and sings their special friendship song–which Biboy sees. And so after years of searching, Biboy discovers that his Opao—his fat, cowardly, flatulent, shy Opao—is the one and only Ultraelectromegalactic
Seasonal Superstar–DARLING. Despite initial fears that their worlds are now so different, Biboy keeps the hope in his heart alive that somewhere inside Darling’s big life and even bigger hair is the same old Opao he loves.

But courage fails him at the last minute and by a funny twist of fate–Biboy finds himself entering Darling’s world as her new assistant…FRIDA. Now the only way for the boy to reunite with the girl of his dreams…is to become a girl himself.
As FRIDA, she becomes Darling’s new trusted best friend. Strangely enough, Darling is drawn to this woman. Around Frida, she begins to feel her most natural self. Truth is, while Darling seems to have the perfect life - money, fame and fandom—inside she is the loneliest woman in the world. Ever since being separated from Biboy, her life has been one big production number. Now, at the peak of her career and approaching 30, Darling has begun to question the path her life took. She doesn’t know who she is, because everything she is was manufactured by her stepmother, Madam Annie. From her looks, to her history to her favorite food, to her scripted relationship with her love team partner, Bambam Baderos…Darling has been feeling lost for some time now, and with the help of her new friend and assistant Frida, Darling slowly finds her way back to the Opao that was lost somewhere beneath all the glitter and glamour. But she doesn’t know Frida’s secret. And unfortunately for Biboy, time is running out. Will Opao and Biboy find their way back to each other? A decade old prediction by a mysterious fortune-teller will determine the Fate of our star crossed lovers. And when Bambam springs a surprise that rocks Darling’s world, Biboy must now make a choice: to tell Darling the truth
about who he really is and risk losing her because of his betrayal, or keep lying to her as “Frida” and never find out if he might have had a chance with her, his greatest love and the one and only girl of his dreams.

Nikki gets a free place to live, fantastic gifts, A-list access, and plenty of sex. The women get to feel young, beautiful... and utterly fulfilled in the bedroom. It's a mutually beneficial set-up.

But then he meets a gorgeous waitress his own age named Heather (Margarita Levieva). She comes to visit Nikki at Samantha's house while Samantha is out of town, sees what an incredible place it is... and comes to the mistaken conclusion it's his. Unbeknownst to Nikki, Heather lives by playing the same game.

When Samantha comes home, she discovers Nikki's infidelity and he's put out on the street. With nowhere else to turn, Nikki pulls out all the stops to win Heather over and they begin to form their own kind of bond. Sexually charged by a game of one-upsmanship, each shows the other their best grifts, and they unexpectedly begin falling in love -- the one thing they can't do in the life they lead.

Synopsis: The story of Jamal Malik, an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India’s “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?” But when the show breaks for the night, police arrest him on suspicion of cheating; how could a street kid know so much? Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life in the slum where he and his brother grew up, of their adventures together on the road, of vicious encounters with local gangs, and of Latika, the girl he loved and lost. Each chapter of his story reveals the key to the answer to one of the game show’s questions. Intrigued by Jamal’s story, the jaded Police Inspector begins to wonder what a young man with no apparent desire for riches is really doing on this game show? When the new day dawns and Jamal returns to answer the final question, the Inspector and sixty million viewers are about to find out…

Cast: Dev Patel as Jamal Malik , the protagonist, a Muslim boy born and raised in the poverty of Mumbai. Boyle considered hundreds of young male actors, although he found that Bollywood leads were generally "strong, handsome hero-types", not the personality he was looking for. Boyle's 17-year-old daughter pointed him to the British television ensemble drama Skins, of which Patel was a cast member.[3] The actor was cast in August 2007.

Madhur Mittal as Salim, Jamal's brother.

Freida Pinto as Latika, the girl with whom Jamal Malik is in love. Pinto was an Indian model who had not starred in a feature film before. Regarding the "one of a kind" scarf she wears, "designer Suttirat Anne Larlarb" says, "I wanted to bookend the journey--to tie her childhood yellow dress to her final look."

Anil Kapoor as Prem Kumar, the game show host.

Irrfan Khan as the Police Inspector.

Saurabh Shukla as Constable Srinivas.

Mahesh Manjrekar as Javed and Raja

Ankur Vikal as Maman
