American Reunion

No. 1 — American Reunion

Jim, Michelle, Oz and Stifler are back! Only they’re 10 years older and hopefully a whole lot smarter…? Don’t hold your breath — we aren’t. And, that’s what we love about American Reunion, the story of a group of wacky friends who get a second chance to try to make some connections at their high school reunion.

Rotten Tomatoes: 44% splat

Movie review: American Reunion brings back the vagina shark…? >>

No. 2 — Margaret

Anna Paquin, Matt Damon and Mark Ruffalo star in this emotional drama about intersecting lives. When a bus accident shakes up the lives of three strangers, things change forever.

Rotten Tomatoes: 71% fresh


No. 3 — The Flowers of War

Christian Bale stars in this period piece set in Japan in 1937. When a westerner discovers women hiding out in a church, he poses as a priest to try to protect them in this beautifully-filmed emotional drama.

Rotten Tomatoes: 41% splat


No. 4 — Being Flynn

When a young man discovers the person he thinks is his father at a local homeless shelter, life has new meaning. This father-son drama about finding out where you come from — even if it’s more painful than not knowing — stars Paul Dano, Robert De Niro and Julianne Moore.

Rotten Tomatoes: 55% splat


No. 5 — Freak Dance

If you’re a fan of the famous dance movie genre, this will be a treat for you. Set on making fun of the Step Ups and Electric Boogaloos of the past decade in dance films, Freak Dance has all the clichés and a bunch of laughs as we find out what’s so charming, but also just as cheesy about dance movies.
