Home

Rotten Tomatoes: 45% | IMDB: 6.7

“When Oh, a loveable misfit from another planet, lands on Earth and finds himself on the run from his own people, he forms an unlikely friendship with an adventurous girl named Tip who is on a quest of her own. Through a series of comic adventures with Tip, Oh comes to understand that being different and making mistakes is all part of being human. And while he changes her planet and she changes his world, they discover the true meaning of the word HOME.” – Fox

White God

Rotten Tomatoes: 91% | IMDB: 7.0

“When young Lili is forced to give up her beloved dog Hagen, because it’s mixed-breed heritage is deemed ‘unfit’ by The State, she and the dog begin a dangerous journey back towards each other. At the same time, all the unwanted, unloved and so-called ‘unfit’ dogs rise up under a new leader, Hagen, the one-time housepet who has learned all too well from his ‘Masters’ in his journey through the streets and animal control centers how to bite the hands that beats him.” – Magnolia Pictures

The Water Diviner

Rotten Tomatoes: 63% | IMDB: 7.2

“Russell Crowe’s directorial debut, “The Water Diviner,” is an epic and inspiring tale of one man’s life-changing journey of discovery. Crowe plays Australian farmer Joshua Connor, who, in 1919, goes in search of his three missing sons, last known to have fought against the Turks in the bloody Battle of Gallipoli. Arriving in Istanbul, he is thrust into a vastly different world, where he encounters others who have suffered their own losses in the conflict: Ayshe (Olga Kurylenko), a strikingly beautiful but guarded hotelier raising a child alone; her young, spirited son, Orhan (Dylan Georgiades), who finds a friend in Connor; and Major Hasan (Yilmaz Erdoğan), a Turkish officer who fought against Connor’s boys and who may be this father’s only hope. With seemingly insurmountable obstacles in his path, Connor must travel across the battle-scarred Turkish landscape to find the truth…and his own peace.” – Warner Bros.

The Guest (2014)

Rotten Tomatoes: 90% | IMDB: 6.7

Who’s in it?
Dan Stevens, Maika Monroe, Leland Orser, Lance Reddick, Brendan Meyer

What’s this thing about?
“From the director of YOU’RE NEXT and featuring a standout, badass performance from Dan Stevens (“Downton Abbey”), comes THE GUEST: a tense, action-packed and unpredictable film like everything and nothing you’ve ever seen before. Empire Magazine called it “a demented action-horror hybrid of sci-fi conspiracy thriller and gore-fest”, and Vanity Fair said, “THE GUEST is big, it’s bold, it’s badass, full of flavor Hollywood wishes it could pour over its vanilla blockbusters.” – Picturehouse

Nate’s Two Cents?
As we all await the last few days of the month until Wet Hot American Summer comes out, why not give The Guest a try in the meantime. For any of you Downton Abbey fans out there, be prepared to see Dan Stevens in a whole new light. Stevens is the perfect badass and his intentions seem noble at first glance, but as time goes on things begin to spiral out of control. The film also stars the lovely Maika Monroe (It Follows) who is brilliant as always and gives another fantastic performance. The Guest is just a downright fun film to watch and will leave you saying WTF!!
