Directed by: Greg Kwedar

Three U.S. Border Patrol agents come across a car filled with illegal narcotics. You would think these agents would simply turn the car over and find jail time for the man who drove, but a dark and twisted truth is revealed when the agents realize there is an insidious scheme within their ranks.

Storks (September 23)

Directed by: Nicholas Stoller & Doug Sweetland

Music Composed by: Mychael Danna & Jeff Danna

Starring: Andy Samberg, Kelsey Grammer, Jennifer Aniston, Keegan-Michael Key, Jordan Peele, Katie Crown

Storks used to be the sole deliverers of babies, but in the 21st century, they now are the sole means of delivering goods for Cornerstore.com. The company's top delivery stork, Junior, screws up by creating a baby in the long forgotten baby factory. Now he and Tulip, the only human in the stork run company, must race to deliver the baby in time before Hunter, the stork boss, finds out.

I added this movie to this list over Disney's anticipated "Moana" because the content of this story seemed more clever to me. As a child growing up, the story has been told to me a million times about how storks used to be the ones who delivered babies. To see that story evolve with the times to depict that even storks change with the times by delivering goods that people want more.

American Honey (September 30) [Limited Release]

Directed by: Andrea Arnold

Cinematography: Robbie Ryan

Starring: Sasha Lane, Shia LeBeouf, Riley Keough

A young girl finds herself travelling with a group of magazines sales people, but gets caught up in the lifestyles of the people she follows. She and the band of misfit sales people travel throughout the mid west to make money and have fun, but their lifestyle is what brings trouble in the first place.

I'm a sucker for these "coming of age" type of movies that show the disoriented youth striving to act in their own accord. This is a movie I am anticipating the most on this list, and I hope my anticipated is met to the high standards I am holding this movie right now.

The Birth of a Nation (October 7)
