Dusty and his team of courageous vehicles battle a massive wildfire together as he learns what it takes to become a true hero. Keep in mind this is a sequel to a spin-off of what could be Pixar’s most forgettable film “Cars.”

Annabelle

The Conjuring prequel “Annabelle” is another horror film based on the “true story” of an evil doll, this one a beautiful vintage figure in a pure-white wedding dress.

Naked Ambition 2

How could you go wrong with a Hong Kong sex comedy that parodies Japan’s adult film industry?

As the soft core porn section ceases publication, the unemployed Chan becomes a producer of porno films with the help of his friends. The story begins when Chan is forced into acting the lead role and surprisingly becomes a sensation in the Japanese AV industry. Ah, the sweet fruits of democracy.
