By Bill Frost @bill_frost
Blood on the Flat TrackThe story of 6-year-old Seattle roller-derby league the Rat City Rollergirls: Bruises! Drama! Speed! Drama! Blood! Drama! Also, some of the best documentary bout-action footage yet seen on the screen. Oh, and … Drama! |
|
The BoxA ridiculously pretty couple (ridiculously pretty Cameron Diaz and James Marsden) receive a box with a red button—push it, get $1 million, but a stranger dies. For them, moral dilemma ensues. For me, line up 10 boxes! |
|
The Informant!A corporate drone (Matt Damon) exposes his company’s multinational price-fixing conspiracy to the FBI and becomes a hero—even though he’s not clean himself, and might possibly be nuts. Based on a true story and mustache. |
|
Open GravesA group of surfers (including Eliza Dushku) stumble upon an ancient board game from the Spanish Inquisition. Naturally, they get drunk, play the game and start mysteriously dying one by one. Based on a true Brady Bunch episode. |
|
Sorority RowFive sorority girls accidentally kill a sister in a prank and vow to keep it a secret—until they’re stalked by a murderer who knows. Slasher thriller, or excuse for mucho naked sorority-sister shower scenes? Oh, can’t it be both? |
