Transcends mere torture porn -- though there's plenty for the squeamish to squirm over here -- in its deftly controlled mix of empathy, grotesquerie and sardonic humor.

Hell yes! Its about time they made a good movie. This movie had me on the edge of my seat. It was twisted, gory and and made you want more. I think the ending could've been better but over all a great movie to watch.

WOW! I loved this film! I felt it was way better than Neighbor, and there were lots of realistic emotions mixed into the film. Though Lola was crazy, the song she turned on and sang we knew she was feeling lonely, and had some weird psychotic breakdown. I liked this film and every character! I loved the Gothic girl and the nerdy guy most, how she felt opened and loving towards him by a certain point. Yes, this movie was pretty fu**** up, and bloody but there was a certain realistic feeling to it, and it wasn't just plain about murder, it had a great plot, and surprisingly a good movie overall, at first I didn't think I'd like it, but this has to be one of my favorite scary movies. I didn't dislike anything about the movie -- except maybe the scene after Lola got hit by a car... Really? What are you Chucky? Honestly, also, I'm never scared watching scary movies at all, this is the first one that kind of kept me at the edge of the seat, and scared me a bit in the sense of how realistic the plot and people felt... Haven't felt shocked or surprised and kept at the edge of my seat for 4 years at least. If ever. Props! Great movie. I can't say enough... Props to this movie, I liked all aspect

Fantastic Really great and gruesome art house film. Definitely recommend.
Top Notch Horror This is one of the best horror flicks to come out in recent years.
If you like dark humor... ...then you will find this pretty hilarious. If not, then you'll rate it low like so many others.

American Beauty
Drama
4
Noted theater director Sam Mendes, who was responsible for the acclaimed 1998 revival of Cabaret and Nicole Kidman's turn in The Blue Room, made his motion picture debut with this film about the dark side of an American family, and about the nature and price of beauty in a culture obsessed with outward appearances. Kevin Spacey plays Lester Burnham, a man in his mid-40s going through an intense midlife crisis; he's grown cynical and is convinced that he has no reason to go on. Lester's relationship with his wife Carolyn (Annette Bening) is not a warm one; while on the surface Carolyn strives to present the image that she's in full control of her life, inside she feels empty and desperate. Their teenage daughter Jane (Thora Birch) is constantly depressed, lacking in self-esteem, and convinced that she's unattractive. Her problems aren't helped by her best friend Angela (Mena Suvari), an aspiring model who is quite beautiful and believes that that alone makes her a worthwhile person. Jane isn't the only one who has noticed that Angela is attractive: Lester has fallen into uncontrollable lust for her, and she becomes part of his drastic plan to change his body and change his life. Meanwhile, next door, Colonel Fitts (Chris Cooper) has spent a lifetime in the Marine Corps and can understand and tolerate no other way of life, which makes life difficult for his son Ricky (Wes Bentley), an aspiring filmmaker and part-time drug dealer who is obsessed with beauty, wherever and whatever it may be. American Beauty was also the screen debut for screenwriter Alan Ball.

Sex. Money. Power. Drugs. Brace yourself for an outrageous true story from legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese that critics are calling "a masterpiece for a new generation." Leonardo DiCaprio delivers "the best performance of his career" as a young stockbroker hungry for a life of non-stop thrills, where corruption was king and more was never enough. His rise to power earned him the title The Wolf of Wall Street. Together, Scorsese and DiCaprio deliver a story of American excess that is "an absolute blast from start to finish." *** * James Verniere, Boston Herald, ** Claudia Puig, USA Today, *** Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

Mark Wahlberg stars in Paramount Pictures' inspirational docudrama exploring the remarkable rise of Massachusetts-born lightweight title winner "Irish" Micky Ward. A determined pugilist whose career in the ring was shepherded by his loyal half-brother, Dicky (Christian Bale) -- a hard-living boxer-turned-trainer whose own career in the ring was nearly sent down for the count due to drugs and crime -- perennial underdog Irish Micky rebounded from a disheartening series of defeats to win both the WBU Intercontinental Lightweight title and the WBU Light Welterweight title thanks to a fierce combination of determination and hard work. David O. Russell directs from a script by 8 Mile's Scott Silver and Paul Attanasio (The Bourne Ultimatum).
