Mean Creak- The first serious role I've seen Josh Peck in. After seeing him in Drake and Josh, it was quite a shock to hear him swear and bully kids. Nonetheless, it was an incredible movie with some very talented young actors. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a great film.
The Signal- One of best horror films I've seen in years. Starts out with a pretty tense beginning, and only goes full throttle from there. Full of gore, extremely dark humor, and some memorable performances. A must see for any horror fan, or for anyone looking for a unique take on the horror genre.
I believe Mongol was an indie movie too. One of my favorite movies of the year.
