Dickie
All zombie movies have to bring something new to the music genre , or else they just are n’t worth look on . April Apocalypsepitches itself as a teen romcom that just so fall out to be set during the zombie apocalypse . While it ’s visible radiation on the usual bloodshed and unrestrained repugnance , April Apocalypsetries rather to charm audiences with a purposely disconnected flavour .

Jack
Barrio Talesis an mismatched horror anthology about the inhabitant of a Mexican molding town . Since each story is told by the same mysterious fibre , it ’s never reveal how much of it , if any , is supposed to be true . The three story each show the harsh status of the town and the preconception of the white Americans on the other side of the moulding , so it ’s perhaps more interesting to believe they are nothing more than ghost stories . As is the case with many horror anthology , the unlike segments are patched together poorly , and they are n’t interesting or shivery enough to book water on their own .

Whit
The Bad Guysis an all but forgotten indie comedy - drama about an aspiring filmmaker who set about to reunite some onetime friends to mine material from the predictably chaotic fourth dimension that they will spend together over the track of one alcohol - fuelled weekend . Glen Powell plays one of the film ’s more degree - headed characters , and he obtain himself border by ridiculous disfunction everywhere he turns . The Bad Guysdoesn’t strickle the right tonic balance between comedy and drama . The humor is injected randomly to leave levity , but it does n’t fit with the scope or the style .

Nick
Best Friends Foreverwas shot on 16 mm film , which casts the wide , yawn deserts of the American west in the perfect light . The story follow two best friends who embark on a cross - country route trip-up flop at the moment that a full - scale nuclear apocalypse plain off . unmindful to the chaos unfolding all around them , Harriet and Reba are more occupied by the cracks in their relationship . at long last , the tiresome friendship drama eclipse the motion-picture show ’s more interesting qualities , and what could have been a singular apocalypse picture go wrong to use its setting for anything more than a fragile metaphor .

Many the great unwashed will only ever see Haley Joel Osment as a minor adept , thanks to his critically - applaud performances in moving picture such asThe Sixth SenseandA.I. Artificial Intelligence . Sex Edplays with this repute , as Osment plays a valet de chambre who has struggled to get up .

23Pig (2011)
Johnny the Teacher
The obvious touchstone forPigis Christopher Nolan’sMemento , and it ’s hard to imagine that this indie pic was not inspired by it in some way . Both movies boast a adult male trapped in a criminal conspiracy try out to correct the mystery that rest beneath his amnesia , and both movies make usance of a non - linear body structure to keep things interesting . These comparison do n’t helpPig , which does n’t reach the boundaries of its interesting premise . What makesPigunique is the sci - fi component , although this too does n’t get the payoff that it teases .
22The Wendell Baker Story (2005)
Paper Boy
Luke Wilson casts himself as loveable loser Wendell Baker in this indie funniness he co - directs with his brother Andrew .

The Wendell Baker Storyluxuriates in its slow stride , taking in the sights on the long road to nowhere . For a story about the monotony of a retirement hotel , this is wholly liable , although whether it ’s entertaining is another question .
21Misconduct (2016)
Doug Fields
Al Pacino and Anthony Hopkins should have enough caliber to make most moving picture work , butMisconductis not one of those movies . The sound thriller stumbles through a nonsensical plot , and it examine to get too much drama with a booming grievance and plenty of showy television camera trick . The core is minimal , however , andMisconductfalls pitifully short of the potential that its cast offers it . Hopkins play it cool as a slimy , top executive - obsessed suit , while Pacino turns up his cartoonish eccentricity . Both actor have witness success with these styles , but they scratch up each against each other horribly .
