The Amazing Spider-Man 2
Spidey (Andrew Garfield) swings back into action to battle Electro (Jamie Foxx) and protect his girlfriend Gwen (Emma Stone). He's successful on at least one front—oh, don't spoiler-whine; that comic came out like 40 years ago. (Sony)
Fading Gigolo
Fioravante (John Turturro, who also directs) becomes a professional man 'ho to help out his broke pal Murray (Woody Allen), who in turn acts as his manager/pimp. The best Jewish-themed porno flick since Kosher Salamis. (Millennium)
Gilligan's Planet: The Complete Series
This cartoon actually happened in 1982: Gilligan and the castaways (the original voice cast, minus Ginger) build a rocket to get off the island, only to overshoot and land on another planet. Saturday mornings were weird back then. (Warner Archive)
A Good Man
An obese former special-ops agent (Steven Seagal) who goes off the grid and becomes an apartment manager is forced back into action when Russian mobsters threaten his tenants. Hey, tubby's gotta eat, and dead tenants don't pay rent. (Lionsgate)
Live Nude Girls
After inheriting his uncle's Hollywood strip club, Shane (Mike Hatton) discovers that the joint is a dump run by a drunk (Dave Foley) and crazy strippers (Bree Olson, Asa Akira and Tera Patrick). Not really seeing a problem here. (Screen Media)
