- DirectorJason EisenerStarsRutger HauerPasha EbrahimiRobb WellsA homeless vigilante blows away crooked cops, pedophile Santas, and other scumbags with his trusty pump-action shotgun.What can I say, there's a line in this movie that goes something like this "You know how I know I'm making you wet? cause my dicks thirsty." I'm a sucker for cheesey lines, hot chicks dancing in spurting severed head blood, and shotguns.
- DirectorEdgar WrightStarsSimon PeggNick FrostKate AshfieldThe uneventful, aimless lives of a London electronics salesman and his layabout roommate are disrupted by the zombie apocalypse.This kinda goes against my putting movies on here that aren't on everyone else's list, but I friggin love this movie.
- DirectorGoran DukicStarsPatrick FugitShea WhighamTom WaitsA film set in a strange afterlife way station that has been reserved for people who have committed suicide.I read about this when it was coming to select theaters and found the concept really interesting, an alternate universe for suicide victims. Kinda like the real world but a little bit worse. Not a phenomenal movie, but it sure is fun. I totally forgot about it, then immediately purchased it the first time I saw it.
- DirectorSol TryonStarsMike O'ConnellJesse EisenbergJim GaffiganA dark comedy set in a storybook universe THE LIVING WAKE chronicles the final day of K. Roth Binew, a quixotic character, who attempts to probe life's great mysteries before his final hour.You would have to watch the preview for this movie in order to determine whether or not you appreciate this type of humor. I found it seriously amusing, but I could see others not enjoying it so much.
- DirectorJames MotternStarsMichelle MonaghanNathan FillionBenjamin BrattA trucker, leading a life free of depth and on the way to nowhere, is forced to make a decision about her aggressive loner 11-year-old son whom she openly deserted ten years previously.Nice little indie drama. Moms a trucker, has a kid she left, dad gets sick, she has to take care of him. worth a watch if you like dramas.
- DirectorDuncan JonesStarsSam RockwellKevin SpaceyDominique McElligottAstronaut Sam Bell has a quintessentially personal encounter toward the end of his three-year stint on the Moon, where he, working alongside his computer, GERTY, sends back to Earth parcels of a resource that has helped diminish our planet's power problems.Another sci-fi movie I picked out for my fiance, again, turns out I loved it. Maybe I like sci fi?
- DirectorRichard SchenkmanStarsDavid Lee SmithTony ToddJohn BillingsleyAn impromptu goodbye party for Professor John Oldman becomes a mysterious interrogation after the retiring scholar reveals to his colleagues he has a longer and stranger past than they can imagine.Sci-fi again... This movie is more so a dialogue flick. An extremely interesting movie. Watch the preview, and figure out if it's for you.
- DirectorLance DalyStarsKelly O'NeillShane CurryPaul RoeTwo kids, Dylan and Kylie, run away from home at Christmas and spend a night of magic and terror on the streets of inner-city Dublin.Adorable movie. Crazy cute. Wanted to watch it FOREVER and finally it was on demand for friggin 6.99... yea, i paid for it. But I dont regret it, it was.. so cute.
- DirectorHany Abu-AssadStarsKais NashifAli SulimanLubna AzabalTwo childhood friends are recruited for a suicide bombing in Tel Aviv.I could see this being controversial, after all its about the other side of terrorism.. the guys that get selected for suicide bombings. I don't typically watch subtitled movies, cause im a lazy american, but this movie seemed really interesting to me, and it was.
- DirectorChris GorakStarsMary McCormackRory CochraneTony PerezA dirty bomb goes off in Los Angeles, jamming freeways and spreading a toxic cloud.This movie is a crazy/sad/what would you do/unexpected ending (my fiance predicts every movie, not this one) kinda flick. Definitely worth a watch.
- DirectorMike JudgeStarsLuke WilsonMaya RudolphDax ShepardCorporal Joe Bauers, a decidedly average American, is selected for a top-secret hibernation program but is forgotten and left to awaken to a future so incredibly moronic that he's easily the most intelligent person alive.Sooooo stupid funny. Literally. It's about the dumbing down of the population as time goes on. For instance, the favorite show in the future is call "Ow, My Balls"
- DirectorGlenn McQuaidStarsDominic MonaghanRon PerlmanLarry FessendenA grave robber reflects on his life of crime.Hilarious british movie, if you're a fan a dark british comedies, have at it. Another movie I would suggest watching a preview for to see if it's 'for you'. Also another movie i spent way too much for on demand.
- DirectorBrad AndersonStarsMarisa TomeiVincent D'OnofrioHolland TaylorNew Yorker Ruby Weaver believes she has found the man of her dreams in Sam Deed, who is her best catch in some time--except that he assures her that he came from the future.Really fun movie. My fiance is definitely not into chick flicks, but i made him watch it, and he enjoyed this movie. It's like a romantic sci fi comedy. Fun for all.
- DirectorJean-Baptiste AndreaStarsDavid SchwimmerSimon PeggAlice EveA frustrated, unemployed professor joins forces with a scammer and a friend of his in a blackmailing scheme.David Schwimmer and Simon Pegg? I love this movie. It's funny, violent, mysterious, twisted... a super fun movie to watch, I think this movie is severely underrated.
- DirectorJamin WinansStarsChristopher Soren KellyQuinn HuncharJessica DuffyA mysterious creature, known as Ink, steals a child's soul in hopes of using it as a bargaining chip to join the Incubi - the group of supernatural beings responsible for creating nightmares.Again, a pick for the fiance that i really enjoyed. Seems kinda corny at first but as it goes on, it turns out to be a really cool movie.
- DirectorDavid BrucknerDan BushJacob GentryStarsAnessa RamseyJustin WelbornScott PoythressA horror film told in three parts, from three perspectives, in which a mysterious transmission that turns people into killers invades every cell phone, radio, and television.Mind *beep*. AWESOME movie. The description sounds kinda lame, i know. But it's a pretty awesome movie. Give it a chance.
- DirectorMartin McDonaghStarsColin FarrellBrendan GleesonCiarán HindsAfter a job gone wrong, hitman Ray and his partner await orders from their ruthless boss in Bruges, Belgium, the last place in the world Ray wants to be.Fun comedy/drama about hitmen.
- DirectorPaul McGuiganStarsJosh HartnettBen KingsleyMorgan FreemanA case of mistaken identity lands Slevin into the middle of a war being plotted by two of the city's most rival crime bosses.

- DirectorJohn HillcoatStarsViggo MortensenCharlize TheronKodi Smit-McPheeIn a dangerous post-apocalyptic world, an ailing father defends his son as they slowly travel to the sea.Post apocalyptic movie, a father and son surviving.
- DirectorScott TeemsStarsHal HolbrookBarlow JacobsMia WasikowskaAn aging Tennessee farmer returns to his homestead and must confront a family betrayal, the reappearance of an old enemy, and the loss of his farm.Indie drama, can't really say much about dramas, if you like them, this is a good watch.
- DirectorAdam ElliotStarsToni CollettePhilip Seymour HoffmanEric BanaIn 1976 Melbourne, a lonely 8-year-old girl strikes up a correspondence with an unlikely pen pal: a severely obese 44-year-old New Yorker with Asperger's syndrome.Cute little weird sad movie.
- DirectorShane MeadowsStarsThomas TurgooseStephen GrahamJo HartleyA young boy becomes friends with a gang of skinheads. Friends soon become like family, and relationships will be pushed to the very limit.Based on a true story, of the director, so im sure its loosely based. 12 year old gets tangled up in some skinheads. Interesting. Entertaining.
- DirectorPeter WeirStarsJim SturgessEd HarrisColin FarrellSiberian gulag escapees travel four thousand miles by foot to freedom in India.This movie kept me hooked. Apparently this is a true story, seems unbelievable, but none the less a fantastic story. It's a long one though.
- DirectorStuart HazeldineStarsAdar BeckGemma ChanNathalie CoxEight candidates for a highly desirable corporate job are locked together in an exam room and given a final test with just one seemingly simple question. However, it doesn't take long for confusion to ensue and tensions to unravel.A very fun mystery. definitely keeps you thinking,
