Cutie and the Boxer

Netflix

Directed by Zachary Heinzerling

Heinzerling gives a fly-on-the-wall perspective of the lives of two artists, Ushio and Noriko Shinohara, and their completely unconventional, 40-year long love story. Ushio, a recovering alcoholic, just turned 80 and is preparing for a joint art show with Noriko, who has also made a name for herself in the art world over the years, but is still treated like his assistant. Heinzerling tells two stories at once - one of the not-so-forgiving artistic realm of NYC and another of true love and sacrifice in order to succeed as a couple.

Spring Breakers

Amazon Instant Video

Written and Directed by Harmony Korine

Starring James Franco, Vanessa Hudgens, and Selena Gomez

Harmony Korine juxtapositions stunning imagery against a bleak backdrop of Generation Y during the most explorative and vulnerable time of their lives - college. Four friends dont have enough money to go on their dream spring break vacation, so they successfully rob a fast-food joint... with squirt guns. This is just the beginning of a series of insane events that unfold. Oh, and James Franco is completely unrecognizable.

Side Effects

Netflix

Directed by Steven Soderbergh

Starring Jude Law, Rooney Mara, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Channing Tatum

Soderbergh truly brings out the best in his actors and hes teamed up with some familiar faces once again in this dramatic, psychological thriller. Side Effects hits a nerve about the prescription drug culture that consumes our society and also criticizes how trusting we can be of treatment.
