KICK-ASS Synopsis
Not all superheroes wear capes — some don a customized wet suit and dub themselves Kick-Ass! Based on a beloved comic series, this 15th anniversary release of the twisted, high-octane action-adventure from director Matthew Vaughn (the Kingsman films) follows a comic book-obsessed teen (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) who reinvents himself as a crime-fighting hero, with one glaring problem: he has no training or actual superpowers. In a near-death confrontation with a ruthless drug dealer, Kick-Ass is rescued by a pair of costumed, highly skilled vigilantes — Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage) and his daughter, Hit Girl (Chloë Grace Moretz). When they all join forces along with another rookie avenger called Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse), a brutal mobster and object of Big Daddy’s vengeance pushes their alliance and skills to the brink.

THE CRAZIES Synopsis
For its 15th anniversary, this reinvention of the George Romero classic — a terrifying story of the “American Dream” gone horribly wrong — comes to 4K for the first time. In a small Midwestern town, residents turn violent when a mysterious toxin in the water supply turns everyone exposed to it into mindless killers. Trapped in a town they no longer recognize and abandoned by the authorities, Sheriff Dutton (Timothy Olyphant, “Justified”) and his pregnant wife Judy (Radha Mitchell, London Has Fallen) struggle to survive in this nightmarish tale that continues to have a long-lasting impact on the horror genre.
