Movie Recommendations...Just Because...

Showgirls



An infamous bomb when first released, Showgirls now vies with Mommie Dearest as a camp classic. Nomi Malone (Elizabeth Berkley) travels to Las Vegas with dreams of becoming a showgirl, but ends up working as a stripper where the patrons couldn't care less about her time-step (they're interested in a different kind of time ... and rate!). Kyle MacLachlan and Gina Gershon co-star.
Grindhouse: Death Proof



Popular cult filmmaker Quentin Tarantino wrote and directed this high-octane thriller that stars Kurt Russell as a serial murderer who uses his revved-up car as a killing machine.

This is the first half of a planned two-part movie.
Lolita

But when their mission to capture arch villainess Lucy Diamond (Jordana Brewster) gets complicated, even their spy skills might not be able to save them. ...
Resident Evil



A virus has leaked out in a top-secret facility, turning all resident researchers into ravenous zombies and their lab animals into mutated hounds from hell.

But they have just 3 hours before the pathogen becomes airborne and infects the world. …
The Long Kiss Goodnight



Samantha Caine (Geena Davis) can't remember anything before the day she woke up eight years ago, injured and two months pregnant.

Jackson) that she discovers that she was once a top CIA assassin named Charley -- and that her old boss has kept tabs on her.
