This cool and creepy movie is about two men who awaken on a spaceship with amnesia and must work together to survive and dodge bloodthirsty mutants. With tons of atmosphere, cool action scenes and a shocking twist, this under the radar flick will get viewers’ hearts pounding.

London

Featuring big names like Chris Evans and Jason Statham, this heart wrencher is about a guy who wants to win over his dream girl at a party, but locks himself in the bathroom and debates whether or not he should talk to her. Simple, but powerful, “London” appeals the to hopeless romantic and the moviegoer at the same time.

Clockstoppers

What if you had the power to stop time? That’s the premise behind this slick and exciting family film that calls to mind “Back to the Future.” It’s fun, funny and a straight up good time at the movies.

Bottle Shock

Based on a true story, this crowd pleaser tells the story of a Californian winery whose wine is unintentionally entered into a French wine taste testing. Starring Chris Pine, Alan Rickman and Bill Pullman, this fun flick will bring out your patriotic side and leave audiences wanting a bottle of 1972 Chateau Montelena Chardonnay.

The Wackness

A movie about a drug dealer may not scream good movie to many, but after watching this unique and quirky love story, all doubts will disappear. With Ben Kingsley as a wacky psychologist and Josh Peck as a love-struck pot dealer, you can’t go wrong.

The Perfect Score

A fun new take on the high school movie, “The Perfect Score” focuses on a ragtag team of high school students who plot to steal the answers to their SAT. Featuring two future Avengers — Chris Evans and Scarlet Johansson — this wacky comedy will satisfy anyone who has ever stressed about a test.

Shoot `Em Up

Clive Owen kills a whole bunch of people and spits out one-liners at an alarming rate. That’s pretty much it for this action flick, and yet it’s an awesome thrill ride. Simplicity leads to fun movies.

Super

From the director of “Guardians of the Galaxy” comes another wacky and strange superhero movie starring Rainn Wilson as a do-gooder superhero who gets in over his head. It’s a crazy movie with some really weird scenes, but at the same time, it’s criminally enjoyable.
