Dr. Horrible’s Sing-along Blog (@ imdb.com)
Emmy Nominated and Hugo Award Winner
Starring: Nathan Fillion, Neil Patrick Harris and Felicia Day
Summary: Dr. Horrible, an aspiring supervillain with his own video blog, is attempting to join the prestigious Evil League of Evil (led by the legendary “thoroughbred of sin”, Bad Horse), but his plans are usually foiled by the egotistical superhero Captain Hammer. Horrible’s life is thrown for a loop when he falls in love with Penny, a beautiful and optimistic advocate for the homeless he meets at the laundromat, a situation which complicates itself even further when Penny begins dating the boorish, oafish Hammer after he apparently saves her life. Faced with the task of impressing the League, can Horrible overcome his own incompetence to ruin the day, kill the hero, and still get the girl?
(about 45 minutes long)

Serenity (@ imdb.com)
Starring: Nathan Fillion, Alan Tudyk, Adam Baldwin, Summer Glau, Sean Maher, Jewel Staite, Morena Baccarin, Ron Glass and Chiwetel Ejiofor
Summary: A passenger with a deadly secret. Six rebels on the run. An assassin in pursuit. When the renegade crew of Serenity agrees to hide a fugitive on their ship, they find themselves in an action-packed battle between the relentless might of a totalitarian regime that will destroy anything – or anyone – to get the girll back and the bloodthirsty creatures who roam the uncharted areas of space. But the greatest dander of all may be on their ship. From the mind of Joss Whedon (TV’s Firefly, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel) comes a new edge-of-your-seat adventure loaded with explosive battles, gripping special effects and fantastic new worlds!
(about 2 hours long)
