Here’s a preview:
Finding Memento
Dora, who suffers from short-term memory loss, wakes up to find that she has several tattoos that remind her that her best friend, Marlin, was murdered, and that Dora has been working to find his killer. But we discover that it was Dora who accidentally killed Marlin by leading him into another jellyfish raid, she just doesn’t remember it. Apparently, Dora’s quest to find Marlin’s “killer” was just a way to cling to some dark, twisted sense of purpose in her otherwise meaninglessness aquatic life.
The Toy Prestige
Woody and Buzz are rival magicians. Woody is trying to find out how Buzz is able to pull off his famous illusion: in which Buzz flies off stage and then simultaneously lands on the same stage from the opposite direction. To copy Buzz’s trick, Woody uses toy duplicates of himself — and melts the duplicates after he pulls off the trick. When Buzz attempts to uncover Woody’s secret, he finds a duplicate Woody being melted. Buzz tries to save the duplicate, but fails. Buzz is accused of murdering Woody and is hung (on a shelf of a used toy store). Then, Buzz’s secret twin brother, Luzz, appears. He reveals that he and his twin brother, Buzz, had to pretend to be the same toy in order to make their trick believable. After he reveals this, Luzz melts the original Woody and then sets fire to all of Woody’s duplicates. As he dies, Woody dramatically shouts: “Turns out I DID have a snake in my boots!”
The Incredibly Dark Knight
Mr. Incredible accidentally kills a new villain named Syndrome. It turns out that Syndrome’s real identity was that of a heroic District Attorney. So, Mr. Incredible hides Syndrome’s crimes and takes responsibility for them. The movie’s narration explains that Mr. Incredible can’t be a hero anymore: he has to be a villain in order to protect a hero — who was really a villain — so that the people can believe that a hero exists, except that a real hero does exist, it’s Mr. Incredible, but he can’t be a hero because he has to be a villain to prove that… there are heroes.
Monsters, Inception
Sully and Mike Wazowski extract screams from children’s nightmares. But their latest job requires them to implant a scream into a child named “Boo.” So, they enter Boo’s dream. While in Boo’s dream, Mike and Sully fall into Mike’s dream; and while in Mike’s dream, Sully falls into “limbo.” So, Sully commits “dream suicide” in order to re-enter the monster world. Now back, Sully spins his “monster totem” to make sure he’s in reality, but a joyful Boo distracts him before he can really be sure. The movie ends and everyone in the audience shoots themselves.
