Alvin and the Chipmunks Meet Frankenstein (1999)Was anyone else aware that this happened? I feel like I was left out. Not that I’m a particular fan of the Chipmunks, but I do want to know when they meet up with classic Universal monsters.
Asylum (2005)Featuring the late, great Natasha Richardson as a bored housewife who falls for one of her head-shrinker hubby’s patients.
Beneath the Helmet (2014)Documentary following five Israeli teens as they are drafted into the army straight out of high school.
Bride and Prejudice (2004)One of the better remakes of the classic Jane Austin rom-com fodder. This Bollywood version stars Aishwarya Rai as Lalita/Elizabeth and Martin Henderson as Darcy.
Casting By (2012)A doc that takes focus on the unsung heroes of the film industry, the casting director.
Dear Frankie (2004)Emily Mortimer plays a young mother who tells her son that his MIA pops is a merchant marine rather than a good-for-nothing lout. Hijinks ensue when dad’s supposed ship docks at a nearby port.
Dogs on the Inside (2014)Documentary that takes a look at when puppy therapy is used on inmates.
Electric Slide (2014)The Jim Sturgess starrer about a wannabe bank robbers in the ‘80s scored an uber-low 14% on Rotten Tomatoes.
So...there’s that.
Enemy at the Gates (2001)Jude Law is a Russian sharpshooter who competes with Joseph Fiennes over the love of Rachel Weisz. This movie is sooooo 2000s it should come with a pair of Uggs.
Flex is King (2013)Successful Kickstarter-funded-dance documentary set in Brooklyn that examines the next level of breakdancing.
The Living (2014)The terror and horror of domestic abuse is treated ham-handedly in this indie drama that looks to tell both sides of the story.
November Rule (2015)A womanizing scumbag with a heart of gold makes it a habit to break it off with his gal de jour whenever the holidays approach. But this time, he realizes too late that he just lost his perfect match. Surprisingly not written or directed by Tyler Perry.
Outcast (2014)Pitch: Nicolas Cage and Hayden Christensen are in the Crusades…
Studio: Stop right there my friend. You just struck gold! Gold, I tell you!
This is what happens when you waste your magical wish of life on a bag of weed and it ends up writing a screenplay.
Pants on Fire (2014)Disney comedy about a liar and every one of the liar’s lies come true.
Kind of like what happened to me on my first resume. Except for the part about Harvard.
Sorority Row (2009)A solid B-list of hot chicks gets murdered in creative ways in this quickly-forgotten slasher pic.
War (2007)Action pic starring Jet Li and Jason Statham in a movie that isn’t part of the
Expendables franchise or
The One, but not for lack of trying.
Wing Commander (1999)Awful movie loosely based on the once popular videogame starring half the cast of
