- $9.99
This isn't your father's claymation. $9.99 is a stop-motion animated film about a group of tenants living in an apartment building. Watch as their private lives slowly manage to intertwine in the strangest of manners, and ponder the meaning of life as it's sold for the low, low price of $9.99!
Let The Right One In
While some of you may be more familiar with the new American remake of the film, “Let Me In”, this is where it all began. If you think the two are as similar as everyone makes them out to be, don't be fooled. Make the right choice and let the right one in.
Bart Got a Room
Starring the well established talent of William H. Macy and the young talent of such actors as Steven Kaplan and Brandon Hardesty, this is one of the more interesting teen comedies I've ever seen. It isn't exactly novel, but much of the plot is not exactly typical for a teen comedy. Macy and Hardesty somehow make the film work despite all the clichés, and for that it makes the list.
Entry Level
If you've ever looked for a job in a market that just doesn't want you, this flick will be right up your alley. Much of it is cheesy, but it still manages to elicit a laugh here and there, and there is a certain charm to it. Taylor Negron has some particularly hilarious lines in this one, and if for no other reason you need to check this one out.
Outsourced
You know how they've been outsourcing jobs from the US to other countries? Well, they made a dramedy about it! As much as I expected to hate it, this movie was actually very good. The film follows the story of a schmuck who gets sent over to India with all those jobs, at first expecting to despise his position. However, after a while he falls in love with one of his co-workers and things get interesting. Give it a shot, it's pretty good.
Broken Flowers
This is the only Jarmusch film that most people have seen, and while that's a shame, it's nice to see it on this list. Broken Flowers stars Bill Murray, and follows him as he tries to find the son he never knew he had. This isn't a typical role for Murray, but he pulls it off like the professional he is. Hands down best drama performance I've ever seen out of Murray. Check it out.
The Road to Guantanamo
No, this isn't a politically slanted documentary. It is, however, a politically slanted drama based on the true story of a few men who found themselves falsely imprisoned under the guise that they were terrorists. I didn't think I would like this one, but it's actually very well acted and directed. Agree with the politics of the film or not, it's pretty damn good.
Following
You know that guy who directed The Dark Knight? Yeah, did you know he's directed other movies, too? I know, I was shocked too! Following was the first big film that Christopher Nolan directed, and it aint half bad. If you want to check out what he did before he became “the guy who directed TDK,” you should check out this movie.
Big Fan
Patton Oswalt is typically cast as the “funny fat guy,” which is why it was so surprising to see him get this role. In Big Fan he plays a hardcore football fan who routinely calls in to the local sports radio program to share his thoughts about his favorite team. However, after a bad run in with one of his team's superstars, he's afraid to say or do anything that might hurt his team. This results in one of the most creepy endings I have seen for any movie in the past few years. Gotta check it out.
Hounddog
Yep, it's a movie starring Dakota Fanning. I don't care what you think, this movie will prove to any moviegoer the true talent that resides in this young woman. She really shines forth in this powerful film about a little girl who loves her deadbeat daddy even though he can't take care of her. This is the antithesis of every family film she's ever done. This is seriously good, and you owe it to yourself to see it.
