- DirectorMartin ScorseseStarsLeonardo DiCaprioJonah HillMargot RobbieBased on the true story of Jordan Belfort, from his rise to a wealthy stock-broker living the high life to his fall involving crime, corruption and the federal government.pretty much just drugs and sex. I was surprised by the amount of debauchery
- DirectorHarmony KorineStarsVanessa HudgensSelena GomezAshley BensonFour college girls hold up a restaurant in order to fund their spring break vacation. While partying, drinking, and taking drugs, they are arrested, only to be bailed out by a drug and arms dealer.gets pretty cool about half way through. The chicks in bikinis with pink ski masks and shotguns was bad ass.

Well written.
- DirectorDuane GravesJustin MeeksStarsAli FaulknerJohnny WalterDerek Lee NixonA birthday celebration at a fancy restaurant leads to some friends' encounter with flesh-peddling cannibals.pretty good cat and mouse horror. Felt a lot like a inner city texas chainsaw massacre.

The story follows a newly released prisoner who desires to live straight, but knowing nothing else but the life of a gangster, he returns to his old gang.fun and violent look at Chinese gangsters in the 50s

- DirectorAlex ChandonStarsJo HartleyJames DohertySeamus O'NeillFour young offenders and their care workers visit the remote Yorkshire village of Mortlake, which prides on keeping itself to itself. A minor incident with locals rapidly escalates into a blood-soaked, deliriously warped nightmare.loses points for its lack of originality but makes up for it with fun characters and plenty of gore.
- DirectorJames MangoldStarsHugh JackmanWill Yun LeeTao OkamotoWolverine comes to Japan to meet an old friend whose life he saved years ago, and gets embroiled in a conspiracy involving yakuza and mutants.its a good movie but doesn't live up to all the awesome comic book movies that have come out lately

- DirectorJames DeMonacoStarsEthan HawkeLena HeadeyMax BurkholderA wealthy family is held hostage for harboring the target of a murderous syndicate during the Purge, a 12-hour period in which any and all crime is legal.nice and violent and kept the ball rolling. The whole premise is both awesome and terrible.
- DirectorKaare AndrewsAngela BettisHélène CattetStarsIngrid Bolsø BerdalIván GonzálezKyra ZagorskyA 26-chapter anthology that showcases death in all its vicious wonder and brutal beauty.fun time, a very different way too watch a movie, this anthology style is very original and interesting

- DirectorGuillermo del ToroStarsIdris ElbaCharlie HunnamRinko KikuchiAs a war between humankind and monstrous sea creatures wages on, a former pilot and a trainee are paired up to drive a seemingly obsolete special weapon in a desperate effort to save the world from the apocalypse.robots vs monsters is awesome but everything else is so bad in the worst of ways
- DirectorJohn HillcoatStarsTom HardyShia LaBeoufGuy PearceSet in Depression-era Franklin County, Virginia, a trio of bootlegging brothers are threatened by a new special deputy and other authorities angling for a cut of their profits.some scenes of violence and good characters

- DirectorChristian JamesStarsDan PalmerAntonia BernathTamaryn PayneA janitor gets trapped in a women's restroom and encounters an all-out attack by a horde of zombies.never quite makes itself memorable besides the main premise of a guy surviving the zombie apocalypse but great acting by the main character and competent effects make it worthwhile.
- DirectorDustin MillsStarsElizabeth AweikerMelissa BlairMichael BlairThe creators of The Puppet Monster Massacre bring you a grindhouse spectacular filled with blood, boobs, special fx, and southern rock. This is the story of a religious cowboy, a lost soul, and a beautiful one-eyed grease monkey fixing to exact bloody vengeance on the same undead S.O.B. He's a low-down, dirty, disgusting, depraved, sadistic, psychotic, hell-bent, grade F, Zombie A-Hole who preys on naked twin girls. He ain't gonna know what hit him!super gory and vulgar this is low budget indie exploitation. My only gripe was the boring lead character whose accent was insufferable.
- DirectorBJ McDonnellStarsDanielle HarrisKane HodderZach GalliganA search and recovery team heads into the haunted swamp to pick up the pieces, and Marybeth learns the secret to ending the voodoo curse that has left Victor Crowley haunting and terrorizing Honey Island Swamp for decades.pretty horrible but intentionally so, almost too a fault.
- DirectorAndrew DominikStarsBrad PittRay LiottaRichard JenkinsJackie Cogan is an enforcer hired to restore order after three dumb guys rob a Mob protected card game, causing the local criminal economy to collapse.pretty cool movie about a hitman.
- DirectorMarcus DunstanStarsJosh StewartEmma FitzpatrickChristopher McDonaldA man who escapes from the vicious grips of the serial killer known as "The Collector" is then forced to help rescue an innocent girl from the killer's booby-trapped lair.not as good as the first one but still fairly entertaining. Only makes the list because of the high gore factor.
- DirectorYûdai YamaguchiStarsTak SakaguchiMari HoshinoMiho NinagawaBaseball prodigy Jubeh Yakyu (Tak Sakaguchi) is the most feared and dangerous juvenile delinquent in all of Japan. After accidentally causing the death of his father with a super-powered, deadly fireball pitch, Jubeh swore off baseball and became a criminal and now, at 17, has been sent to the Pterodactyl Juvenile Reformatory for hardened criminals. Headmistress Ishihara, the granddaughter of a World War II Nazi collaborator, runs the institution with an iron fist and the enthusiastic help of her sadistic assistant, Ilsa. After arriving at the hellhole, Jubeh soon learns from governor Mifune that his long-lost, younger brother Musashi had also done time there after a murder spree, but had since died mysteriously.as with pretty much all of the sushi typhoon movies this is good for nothing but all out dumb fun.
- DirectorKimberly PeirceStarsChloë Grace MoretzJulianne MooreGabriella WildeA shy girl, outcast by her peers and sheltered by her religious mother, unleashes telekinetic terror on her small town after being pushed too far at her senior prom.somewhat pointless remake has all the parts we love from the original however loses some grit due to the fact that the girl playing carrie this time around is actually under 18 so they have to hold back particularly when it came to the opening shower scene. Still they brought in some new ideas and successfully modernized it.
