- 11 titles
- DirectorPeter BergStarsBilly Bob ThorntonJay HernandezDerek LukeBased on H.G. Bissinger's book, which profiled the economically depressed town of Odessa, Texas and their heroic high school football team, The Permian High Panthers.Great soundtrack, moving. Explores the sensitive side involved in working together as a team. Including love and God
- DirectorMartin BrestStarsAl PacinoChris O'DonnellJames RebhornA prep school student needing money agrees to "babysit" a blind man, but the job is not at all what he anticipated.The Al Pacino moment is the best in this
- DirectorGus Van SantStarsRobin WilliamsMatt DamonBen AffleckWill Hunting, a janitor at MIT, has a gift for mathematics, but needs help from a psychologist to find direction in his life.Emotive and brings up the question of vulnerability in love. Also what it means to be intelligent and fulfilled
- DirectorPeter FarrellyBobby FarrellyStarsJim CarreyJeff DanielsLauren HollyAfter a woman leaves a briefcase at the airport terminal, a dumb limo driver and his dumber friend set out on a hilarious cross-country road trip to Aspen to return it.
- DirectorMichael MannStarsRussell CroweAl PacinoChristopher PlummerA research chemist comes under personal and professional attack when he decides to appear in a 60 Minutes exposé on Big Tobacco.A few great al Pacino moments here but by the far the best scene is the deposition https://youtu.be/gNKmmA6_oTQ . Russel crow plays a really interesting character, and his wife is a good actress too. Most of all this film does a great job in exposing the tobacco industry’s drive for profit at the expense of ppls health, which is nothing new but does indeed explore the inner workings and corruption of the business
- DirectorDan GilroyStarsJake GyllenhaalRene RussoBill PaxtonWhen Louis Bloom, a con man desperate for work, muscles into the world of L.A. crime journalism, he blurs the line between observer and participant to become the star of his own story.The character’s struggle really resonates w/ me. He’s often bound to his computer starting his business online (and the film gave him a man bun which was typical of young ppl my age at the time). Great insight into the narcissists mind, so you know one to avoid one. He’s very articulate and slick too. Makes you you question the dark side of business
- DirectorJamshed UsmonovStarsKhurshed GolibekovDinara DrukarovaMaruf PulodzodaKamal, 20 years old, can't have sexual intercourse with women although he is married. He goes to the big city and notices beautiful Vera, whom he follows round town. Will his partnership with her husband, a mafia thug, help him become a man ?
- DirectorCurtis HansonStarsJames WoodsJohn HeardWilliam HurtChronicles the financial meltdown of 2008 and centers on Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson.
- 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.Clever Cinematography: Vivid neon theme thru-out which sucks you in and is kinda trance like; appropriately combined w/ the EDM skrillex soundtrack which is really stimulating. Really sucks you in. Poppy vibrant
Story line not great and a bit tacky. However James Franco playing a gangsta is kinda funny - DirectorJon HurwitzHayden SchlossbergStarsJohn ChoKal PennNeil Patrick HarrisAfter being mistaken for terrorists and thrown into Guantánamo Bay, stoners Harold and Kumar escape and return to the U.S., where they proceed to flee across the country with federal agents in hot pursuit.Dr fox is your typical national security focussed, terrorist paranoid, freedom protecting, constitutional upholding, CIA FBI agent. He’s so politically incorrect it’s funny
- DirectorTodd PhillipsStarsJoaquin PhoenixRobert De NiroZazie BeetzArthur Fleck, a party clown and a failed stand-up comedian, leads an impoverished life with his ailing mother. However, when society shuns him and brands him as a freak, he decides to embrace the life of chaos in Gotham City.
