The Single Moms Club
When their kids get in trouble at school, five mothers come together to throw a school dance—and form surprisingly touching (if occasionally crass) friendships along the way.
Need for Speed
Need for Speed is not a movie about the subtle nuances of character transformation. It’s a souped-up, turbocharged melodrama.

This flick may not be as scary as suffering from defecaloesiophobia or as painful as pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, but it comes close on both counts.
300: Rise of an Empire
They didn’t name it 600, but the Warner Bros. moviemakers certainly upped the ante in this double dose of hyper-stylized, 3-D sex, blood and guts.

The Grand Budapest Hotel is being called Wes Anderson’s best movie yet. But is this dollhouse dramedy merely good at being quite bad?
Non-Stop
As passengers begin to die on a transatlantic flight, everyone onboard is a suspect, even the scruffy air marshal hero.
The Wind Rises
From acclaimed Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki comes a fantasy-laced biopic that flies through the life of WWII Zero engineer Jirô Horikoshi.

It presents a one-dimensional romcom tale in a crude, crass, offensive and completely forgettable way.
