Jeff Bridges plays the legendary Preston Tucker, a smart, charismatic family man determined to change the automobile industry in the late 1940’s. It’s the classic David and Goliath story as Tucker challenges the Big Three Automakers by building his own “car of the future.” I grew up on this movie since it was the only film that my brother, my parents, and I could all agree on to watch together. It’s the perfect blend of comedy and drama fit for every family member, no matter the age. So, grab the popcorn, get the kids, and enjoy a great film together as a family.

Also sign me up for period pieces that take place in Paris! This movie has everything the ladies like without being chick flick. There's plenty of action, musketeering, history, and all that jazz to keep everyone happy. Perfect "date night in" movie.

This rockumentry shows performances from their Mylo Xyloto world tour, sampling different venues and some brief interviews with the band. Watching Coldplay perform live is a dazzling experience, from the brightly decorated stage to front-man Chris Martin’s mesmerizing passion for his music. The cinematography does justice to the concert experience and Rihanna may, or may not, show up to get in on the action. Turn this film on and let yourself drift away to PARA, PARA, PARADISE!

Where's Arnie?! In a tree, or on the poor, podunk town's water tower being coerced down by his brother, Gilbert Grape, played by Johnny Depp. … More Where's Arnie?! In a tree, or on the poor, podunk town's water tower being coerced down by his brother, Gilbert Grape, played by Johnny Depp. Or maybe he's gone to grab some tissues for that thing that's in your eye causing a stream of tears. The star studded cast delivers a tale of life, death and love of those in a nowhere, rural city. Gilbert is doing the best he can with his mentally handicap teenage brother, obese mother, two sisters, dilapidating house, job and lovers. By the end of film, you come to fully understand What's Eating Gilbert Grape.

At first glance, a flick with hunks like Mathew McConaughey and Ryan Phillippe screams shirtless-lackluster-rom com…but… More At first glance, a flick with hunks like Mathew McConaughey and Ryan Phillippe screams shirtless-lackluster-rom com…but the Lincoln Lawyer knocks all those clichés. McConaughey takes on one of the darker roles in his career as the clever, self-absorbed lawyer for the even darker, self-absorbed Phillippe. With a killer cast and a cunning plot filled with dirty cops, biker gangs, and reckless rich bachelors, this courtroom drama has enough twists and turns to leave you questioning which side you’re on. If you like thrillers and attractive people, then this is the movie for you!

Directed brilliantly by Roman Polanski, Chinatown truly captures the essence of Los Angeles in the 1930’s and received 11 Academy Awards nominations for its effort. In a throwback to the film-noir era of Hollywood, Chinatown is filled with plot twists, lies, deceit, murder, and corruption. An instant classic.

Animal House showed us what college was like in the 1970s. Back to School showed us what college was like in the 80s. PCU showed us what college was like in the 90s. But if you want a college film from the 2000s,there’s no better portrayal than The Rules of Attraction. It’s sex, drugs and End of the World Parties. From the mind who brought you Less Than Zero and American Psycho, The Rules of Attraction brings the party right into your living room. Just check your morals at the door.

If you’re familiar with the films you’ll recall that MRS. VOORHEES was the killer in the first flick and in the second movie Jason wore a burlap sack over his head. It wasn’t until Part III (aka 3D) that he donned the mask we’ve all come to know and fear. Be sure to also check out Part IV: The Final Chapter (not!), Part V: A New Beginning (well, sorta), Part VI: Jason Lives (you knew that), Part VII: The New Blood (starting to see a pattern here?) and,of course, Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan (nuff said!).

In Mega-City One, there are 17,000 crimes a day. The only way to efficiently dispense justice in this kind of dystopia is with a one-person judge, jury and executioner. While Dredd is evaluating the performance of a recruit (who happens to have psychic abilities), they are locked in a tower block with a powerful and violent drug lord (played by Lena Heady) who will destroy anyone and anything to protect her nefarious empire. The visual effects in this movie are stunning, and the action sequences are more than satisfying to the palette of your casual action-movie junkie. Be forewarned, though, that the violence in this movie is not for the faint of heart.
