Set to the soundtrack of The Who’s 1973 concept album of the same name, Quadrophenia is the classic tale of rebellion and escapism through music, drugs, and gangs. We see 1960s London as a place of frustration and violence as told through the eyes of Jimmy, a disillusioned young man who hates his job and cannot relate to his family. But after his dream trip to Brighton turns into a crash of disappointment and reality, his fantasy life of nothing but fun turns into a teenage wasteland.

The lengths a struggling writer in Los Angeles will go to find inspiration.

In his follow up to his feature film debut (2008’s incredible In Bruges), British director Martin McDonagh gives us another dark, violent, comedy about misguided misfits. You can call this one Hollywood Noir full of blood and humor. When Marty (played by Colin Farrell) has difficulty finishing his screenplay Seven Psychopaths, he gets himself mixed up with all kinds of insanity including dog thievery, unemployed actors, gangsters in LA’s criminal underworld, and Christopher Walken. And for the love of Shih Tzu, Marty will have one brilliant script…if he survives to tell the tale.

The seven psychopaths are: Colin Farrell, Woody Harrelson, Sam Rockwell, Christopher Walken, Tom Waits, Abbie Cornish, and Olga Kurylenko.

Killing Them Softly is a juicy, bloody, grimy and profane crime drama that amply satisfies as a deep-dish genre piece but with political and historical depth.

Money, men, and murder. The worlds of Wall Street and Goodfellas collide beautifully in Killing Them Softly, a violent, witty and hugely entertaining flick about a crumbling mafia empire based on George V. Higgins’ novel “Cogan’s Trade”. After three dimwitted guys unwisely rob a Mob protected card game for 100k, they send the local criminal economy into a collapse. Steely Cogan (Brad Pitt) is the side-burns cool savvy enforcer hired to track the three thieves down and restore some much needed order. However, Coogan’s preferred style to kill “softly” is known and the ruthless specialist Mickey (James Gandolfini) enters to further complicate matters.

Starring: Dolly Parton, Burt Reynolds, Dom DeLuise

The Chicken Ranch is as clean, moral, and wholesome as a whorehouse can get but that’s still not good enough for a meddling TV preacher man in The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, a musical-comedy starring two of our favorites: Dolly Parton as Miss Mona Stangley and Burt Reynolds as Lanville County Sheriff Ed Earl Dodd. These friends-with-benefits must fight to let the good times roll at the popular Chicken Ranch when television personality Melvin P. Thorpe goes on a consumer watchdog rampage to expose the illegal activities. Come watch the Chicken Ranchers since, dance, and sleep their way to continued success and into your hearts on the big screen!

Starring: Brandon Maggart, Jeffrey DeMunn, Dianne Hull, Andy Fenwick

A toy factory worker, mentally scarred as a child upon learning Santa Claus is not real, suffers a nervous breakdown after being belittled at work, and embarks on a Yuletide killing spree.

Starring: Johnny Depp, Winona Ryder, Dianne Wiest, Alan Arkin, Anthony Michael Hall, Vincent Price

A scientist (Vincent Price) builds an animated human being — the gentle Edward (Johnny Depp). The scientist dies before he can finish assembling Edward, though, leaving the young man with a freakish appearance accentuated by the scissor blades he has instead of hands. Loving suburban saleswoman Peg (Dianne Wiest) discovers Edward and takes him home, where he falls for Peg’s teen daughter (Winona Ryder). However, despite his kindness and artistic talent, Edward’s hands make him an outcast.
