#Saburo
Film: Memories of Murder (2003)
Genre: Crime, Drama, Mystery, Thriller
IMDb Synopsis: In a small Korean province in 1986, two detectives struggle with the case of multiple young women being found murdered by an unknown culprit.

#Soft Flex
Film: Sinners
Genre: ???
Description: Twin brothers return to their hometown to start up a new business but may not be prepared for what's waiting there.

I left the genre unidentified on purpose because the less you know about the movie going into it, the better - I will say be prepared for... eerie vibes and an absolutely outstanding soundtrack. Past that, you're on your own! It's still in theatres, too - so go see it ASAP!

@ The Benz Mafia
Film: Wild Target (2010)
Genre: Action, Comedy, Crime
Trimmed IMDb Synopsis: Victor Maynard is an assassin whose professional routine is interrupted after sparing his latest victim, Rose. Together they attempt to thwart the murderous attentions of his unhappy client.

Tagline: They said 'Take her out'. He got the wrong idea.

%ParkerMayCry
Film: Super Troopers 2
Genre: Comedy
IMDb Synopsis: When a border dispute arises between the U.S. and Canada, the Super Troopers are tasked with establishing a Highway Patrol station in the disputed area.

Parker's Point: Imo not as good as the first - this one kind of relies on star power over actual skits but still enjoyable to see the gang back together.

#Soft Flex
Film: Deep Blue Sea
Genre: Action, Adventure, Thriller
Description: One of my favourite cheesy horror flicks, and perhaps the most replayed movie on TBS on cable of all time - I've seen the (surely) edited version so many times I don't know what the theatrical version even is. Go see some actors who are all much more famous from other works run from sharks with boosted intelligence.

#Saburo
Film: They Live (1988)
Genre: Action, Horror, Sci-Fi, Thriller
IMDb Synopsis: They influence our decisions without us knowing it. They numb our senses without us feeling it. They control our lives without us realizing it. They live.

Saburo's Note: Roddy Piper, the first WWE wrestler to really make it big in acting absolutely nails the lead role here. The message of this movie is still relevant today, despite the pacing and weirdness throughout the film. Plus, that iconic line, “I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass, and I’m all out of bubblegum!” is just hilarious and unforgettable.

@ The Benz Mafia
Film: La Chèvre (1981)
Genre: Adventure, Comedy, Crime
IMDb Synopsis: A daughter of a millionaire, distinguished by incredible bad luck, goes missing. The idea how to find her is either insane or brilliant - to send after her an equally unlucky person.
