A man, waking with no memories and thought to be a serial killer, flees his pursuers and not only learns he isn’t who they think he is, but they aren’t who they think they are either.

A fantastic movie.. at no point was I bored. To me, this one of the foundations of a particular movie style. It isn’t that it’s whatever kind of “neo-noir” but that it tells a tale about reality itself.

In a world where virtual reality is the primary lifestyle, a “mixed world” private detective is tasked to track down terrorists.

While it has a crazy amount of narration, it is really intelligent and subtle.

High school misfits are each brought in to an all-Saturday detention and crack under the pressure.

An incredible drama with spectacular acting.

  • While I consider this “youth-friendly” it’s actually rated R for on-screen drug use, sexual language (including rape), and descriptions of abuse.

A military man is enlisted into a mission to save Chicago United States from a terror attack.

A fantastic, emotional, movie. This has all the elements of quality which make a movie truly great.
