Hot Fuzz (2007)
Running Time: 2 Hours and 1 minute
Edgar Wright directs the film
The script was written by Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg
Starring: Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Jim Broadbent, Timothy Dalton, and Olivia Coleman
It’s arguably the most acclaimed film by Edgar Wright (which is surely a bit of a stretch), Hot Fuzz is far more than an enlightening satire on action films. It’s one of the best-written action comedies that follows a remarkable London Police officer transferred to a tiny city in the country because he is simply too good at his job. Once he’s there, he begins to unravel a plot with a twist that’s far too thrilling to reveal now, so give Hot Fuzz a buzz if you’re not yet.

Taken (2008)
Run Time: 1 Hour and 30 minutes
Directed by: Pierre-Morel
The story was written by Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen
Starring: Liam Neeson, Maggie Grace, and Famke Janssen
Liam Neeson is well recognized as the model for action actors of the past However, you shouldn’t blame him for his various roles in a film that was equally impressive as Taken. Many who haven’t even seen a second of the film know that the movie tells the story of a father who has “a special set of talents” to locate his daughter who was kidnapped. There’s a reason why that phone call is an iconic film scene history because the next thing that happens after it is an action-packed, thrilling journey about a pissy dad.
Predator (1987)
Run Time: 1 Hour and 47 minutes
Directed by John McTiernan
The text was written by Jim Thomas and John Thomas
Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers, Jesse Venture, Bill Duke, and Sonny Landham
In a nutshell, the film will create “a God-forsaken sexual Tyrannosaurus.” Similar to Blain. There are way too many great quotes to list in Predator, with a significant portion of them being spoken before the famous alien arrives. The group of instantly likable brothers is seemingly on another trip toward Central America until they begin to be targeted by a creature in the jungle that they are unable to see. The creature chasing them is actually an alien being out to hunt the most deadly inhabitants of the universe to play sport. However, that’s not the first occasion this kind of creature is confronted with someone who resembles Arnold crazy Schwarzenegger.
Rio (2011)
Running Time: 1 Hour and 36 minutes
Directed by: Carlos Saldanha
Authors: Carlos Saldanha, Earl Richey Jones, Todd R. Jones, Don Rhymer, Joshua Sternin, Jennifer Ventimiglia, and Sam Harper
Starring: Jesse Eisenberg, Anne Hathaway, George Lopez, Jamie Foxx, will. i.am, and Jemaine Clement
Although tonally, it contrasts substantially with the brutal Predator, Rio still takes advantage of a lush tropical setting. Like the title suggests, Rio is set in its Rio. The city is rendered beautifully in stunning, vibrant animation. It’s an old-fashioned “fish out of the water” story in which Blu is the blue macaw that is domesticated and is believed to be one of the few remaining of his kind. So Blu is invited into Rio de Janeiro to stop this blue macaw from becoming extinct.

Akira (1988)
Duration: 2 hours and 4 minutes
Directed by Katsuhiro Otomo
Written by: Katsuhiro Otomo and Izo Hashimoto
Starring: Misuo Iwata, Nozomu Sasaki, Mami Koyama, and Tessho Genda
HBO Max may be the first streaming platform that pops up in your mind when you think of Japanese animation due to its collection of Studio Ghibli films; however, Hulu also has plenty of anime-related content, which includes one of the most highly praised films in the genre. Akira is a stunning vivid, visceral glimpse into the future in “Neo-Japan,” which is an eerie, futuristic setting that is similar to Ghost in the Shell. A group of bikers battles an ex-biker who is super-powered before he transforms Neo-Japan into a full-on battle zone.
Hitch (2005)
Running Time: 1 Hour and 58 mins
Directed by Andy Tennant
Written by: Kevin Bisch
Starring: Will Smith, Kevin James, and Eva Mendes
Alex Hitchens’s work is apt in light of his name. He’s essentially a coach for dating who matches men with women that they think are way out of their realm. The Hitch ( Will Smith) is proud of his anonymity, however, his quick success stories eventually get the interested of a reporter who is determined to expose the dating expert for manipulating the women that he has arranged for. Both are in good intentions, however, their paths cross to reveal the love they’ve been busy noticing.
Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (2004)
Running Time: 1 hour and 32 minutes
Written and directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber
Starring: Vince Vaughn, Ben Stiller, and Christine Taylor
This story is not true, but it follows an underdog group fighting to keep their gym. The team of Average Joe’s Gym has been confronted by White Goodman, an eccentric health enthusiast and the owner of an alternative gym. If Goodman attempts to shut down Average Joe’s Gym, their only chance of saving it is participating in a national dodgeball championship. This is a fun-filled cameo with lots of dodging, diving, ducking, dipping, and more playing dodgeball.
Weekend at Bernie’s (1989)
Run Time: 1 Hour and 37 minutes
Directed by Ted Kotcheff
Written by: Robert Klane
Starring: Andrew McCarthy, Jonathan Silverman, Catherine Mary Stewart, and Terry Kiser
The truth is that the cult favorite Weekend at Bernie’s wasn’t too loved by the critics at first when it premiered. Whatever the reason, the tale of two men who carry the corpse of their boss’s deceased wherever they go to conceal the murder of his boss was not a hit with some. Weird. However, dark comedy can still provide many great moments of visual comedy to demonstrate its absurdity.

Logan Lucky (2017)
Time of Run: 1 hour and 58 mins
Directed by Steven Soderbergh
Written by: Jules Asner
Starring: Channing Tatum, Adam Driver, Daniel Craig, and Farrah Mackenzie
The film is also referred to as “Ocean’s 7/11” Logan Lucky is most likely the closest thing we’re going to come to be an Ocean’s 14 from Steven Soderbergh. Soderbergh is back to his heist-film roots in a humorous and satirical theft thriller, in which down-on-his-luck Jimmy Logan, his amputee brother, his gear head sibling, and an edgy violent convict, try to steal a NASCAR race. The Ocean trilogy fans will definitely feel at home in the style and character of the film, and it’s refreshing seeing the release of a brand new heist film because the genre hasn’t received numerous entries in recent years.
Dazed and Confused (1993)
Time of Run: 1 hour and 43 minutes
Written and directed by Richard Linklater
Starring: Jason London, Wiley Wiggins, Matthew McConaughey, Rory Cochrane, and Mila Jovovich, you’re searching for Matthew McConaughey’s first feature film, look no further. A debut film from Richard Linklater, Dazed and Confused is perhaps the most enduring stoner comedy. A slice-of-life tale about the weed-loving group during their final year at high school, it’s hard to find a film script with more references to”man” than “man” than Dazed and Confounded.
