Now, the PTA, led by Alyssa's mother, is threatening to cancel the prom altogether.

In the mid-20th century, a routine mission to the moon resulted in an unmanned rocket missing its mark and tumbling toward the sun. The rocket was presumed lost. Life went on. A century later, the rocket came back. Believed at first to be a piece of space debris, it was soon confirmed to match the description of the ship from the long-lost moon mission. It looks like our rocket, it feels like our rocket, but it is not our rocket. What is it? How did it get here? Who sent it? And why... Debris is a science-fiction story full of mystery, adventure, and contemplation on the human condition and...

When a cruel Governor goes too far to root out troublemakers, he stirs up a rebellion led by a thrill-seeking, mischievous hero.

In 1997, creator Joss Whedon revisited a screenplay that had previously been adapted into a relatively forgotten horror-comedy film: Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Dissatisfied with how the film turned out, Whedon developed his own version of the story as an allegory for the "horrors" of growing up. For seven years, Buffy and her friends (the Scoobies) battled demons, both of the metaphorical and literal kind and, along the way, took part in a series that defines the term "cult classic."

Night after night he plotted, day after day he planned, but no matter what he tried, he could never find a way out. Either the lab workers would catch him, or the lab's pet cat would chase him back to his cage. But then, one fateful morning, a new mouse joined the party...except this wasn't a mouse, it was a guinea pig named Ralph. Bigger, stronger, faster than all the other mice in the lab, Sebastian looked at Ralph and knew he'd found his ticket out. There was only one problem...Ralph liked ...
