Captain Phillips
Directed by Paul Greengrass, Captain Phillips, starring Tom Hanks is the true story of a shipping vessel overtaken by Somali pirates. Phillips spent three days as a hostage of the pirates before being rescued by Navy Seals in a raid. Sounds like Oscar material.
The Fifth Estate
I do not want to miss Bendict Cumberbatch as Julian Assange in director Bill Condon’s The Fifth Estate, the Hollywood version of the Wikileaks story. We already have an excellent Wikileaks doc out this year, We Steal Secrets, but this version seems much more cinematic.

| Machete Kills |
Machete Kills
This looks fun and full of the crazy antics we’ve come to expect from a grindhouse-style, B-movie sequel in the hands of Robert Rodriguez. Mel Gibson as the main villain, clearly having a blast, and his super soldier army which includes Lady Gaga, Sofia Vergara, Amber Heard, Vanessa Hudgens, Antonio Banderas and more. It seems like Danny Trejo vs.the World.

CBGB
CBGB follows the story of Hilly Kristal’s New York club from its origins as Country, Bluegrass and Blues (CBGB) to what it ultimately became: the birthplace of underground rock ‘n roll and punk. Hilly had one demand of the acts he booked, they could only play their own original music. No top 40’s, no covers. It was the credo he lived by, support the artist at whatever the cost.
The documentary feature chronicling the creation of the legit musical version of Green Day’s album “American Idiot”. How much more can the squeeze out of this album?
