April 12: 'Scary Movie 5'

Exaggerated references to horror movies¿primarily "Paranormal Activity," this time around¿and other films that are totally unrelated including "Inception" and "Black Swan."
What's new: Ashley Tisdale takes over for Anna Faris, and Lindsay Lohan appears in a cameo as herself, a role she probably still can't play convincingly at this point.
What's not: Aside from the franchise's overall staleness? "A Haunted House" covers very similar ground with the nods to "Paranormal Activity." Enough.
