1. Flight (Watch it on Netflix) – Score: 78% on Rotten Tomatoes. Action-packed thriller about an airline pilot with a bit of a dependency issue.
2. The Conjuring (Watch it on Amazon Instant) – Score: 87% on Rotten Tomatoes. There are two horror films that have made me cry with fear, this is one of them.
3. The Road (Watch it On Netflix) – Score: 75% on Rotten Tomatoes. This movie blew my mind. We spend a long time discussing it after it ended. Let me know what you think the ending means.
4. World War Z (Watch it On Amazon Instant) - Score: 67% on Rotten Tomatoes. In some ways a typical zombie movie but more entertaining than most.

6. The Kids are All Right (Watch it On Netflix) - Score: 93% on Rotten Tomatoes. Loved this movie! Great acting, great writing, great story.
7. Aziz Ansari Buried Alive (Watch it On Netflix) - Score: 79% on Rotten Tomatoes. Funny for people without kids….and maybe for people with kids who have a good sense of humor. I was dying laughing.
8. We’re The Millers (Watch it On Amazon Instant) - Score: 47% on Rotten Tomatoes. Not the greatest but still entertaining. Definitely has some cheesy moments, but Jennifer Aniston does do a lengthy striptease, so there’s that.

13. The Kings of Summer (Watch it Amazon Instant) - Score: 76% on Rotten Tomatoes. It’s like a (more) modern-day Little Rascals.
14. Jeff Who Lives at Home (Watch it On Netflix) - Score: 78% on Rotten Tomatoes. A well-written Indie Dramedy and a great performance by Jason Segel.
15. Safety Not Guaranteed (Watch it On Netflix) - Score: 91% on Rotten Tomatoes. Another great (and weird) movie from the producers of Little Miss Sunshine. I loved Aubrey Plaza in this.
