Whiplash (2014)

Chasing greatness requires sacrifice, but does it require torturous conditions? Damien Chazelle wrote and directed a film that’s so hard to watch sometimes, but you can’t look away. J.K. Simmons plays the demented instructor of protege drummer Andrew, played by Miles Teller. What is the movie trying to say? Is it a maddening endorsement of maniacal leadership? Or is it a warning?

Interstellar (2014) – 10th Anniversary

From brothers Jonathan and Christopher Nolan comes the show-stopping sci-fi adventure Interstellar (2014).

My Cousin Vinny (1992)

From director Jonathan Lynn comes the rare courtroom comedy. My Cousin Vinny stars Joe Pesci, Marisa Tomei, Fred Gwynne, and…Ralph Macchio?

The question isn’t “Will the Karate Kid be put to death?”, the question is “How will Joe Pesci get him out of this?”
