Reason to Watch

Imagine watching cartoon characters and relating to them as if they were flesh-and-blood instead of paint-and-ink. That's thanks to Robert Zemeckis expert directing, Bob Hoskins performance and the use of classic hand drawn animation used flawlessly across real footage in a full feature film first.

Synopsis

An intellectually nonconformist friar investigates a series of mysterious deaths in an isolated abbey.

Reason to Watch

There are so many good things in The Name of the Rose - the performances, the reconstruction of the period, the overall feeling of the era. And then, strangely for the setting, it's a murder mystery.

Synopsis

The true story of Captain Richard Phillips and the 2009 hijacking by Somali pirates of the U.S.-flagged MV Maersk Alabama, the first American cargo ship to be hijacked in two hundred years.

Reason to Watch

Look at me, this is a good crisis film. A stellar performance from Tom Hanks who has a high-stakes visceral drama to work with. A vivid, insider's look at life at sea and how a crew of twenty did their best to elude their would-be captors.

Synopsis

A rape victim returns from the dead to seek vengeance on her rapists.

Reason to Watch

Every once and a while, unfortunately not very often, you encounter a film for which you had low or even zero expectations, but then it turns out to be surprisingly enjoyable! Even though this was never intended as anything more than splatter, it has some welcome dark humor in the mix.

Synopsis

Tim Ochopee, a shell-shocked Seminole Indian has just returned from a tour of Vietnam. He lives a peaceful life deep in the Everglades with his pet snake Stanley. Upon his return, he finds out his father has passed away. When he learns how he was killed, Tim lets Stanley and his brood loose on the people who've done him wrong, leading to a thrilling climax.

Reason to Watch

"People are both fascinated and repulsed by snakes", a character in "Stanley" says. And with this movie, it's all about the "money shots" - the snake shots. Everything else has been built around them, and everything else is secondary. Some of those money shots are indeed memorable, like the quicksand pit scene, or the inspired freeze-frame of Alex Rocco's face as he realizes, mid-dive, that he's about to land in a snake-infested pool! Too bad the rest of the movie is so inert

Synopsis

A scientist at a Florida university inadvertently creates a "rage virus" while performing experiments intended to restore dead brain tissue in baboons. When a journalist for the college paper breaks into the campus lab, he's bitten by one of the infected baboons; the virus soon spreads to a trio of rapists and a valley girl, all of whom go on killing sprees.

Reason to Watch

This is a really really bad Italian B-movie which will prove itself to be a fun entertaining little romp that's very enjoyable in an unintentionally bad kind of way.

Synopsis

An evil Oriental Dragon Lady injects three martial arts fighters with a serum that turns them into zombie-like assassins, and she sends them out against her enemies.

Reason to Watch

I mean firstly... the POSTER! From the outset, you have to give some credit to a film whose three central characters are named in the credits as White Death Machine, Black Death Machine and Asian Death Machine.
