17 Again

Rent-it - The story has been done a hundred times before but never this well, and never this funny.  Zac Efron is 17 Again and if for no other reason, see it for all the geeked-out references.

500 Days of Summer

Rent-it - Rarely do you find a romantic comedy that feels like it could actually happen to you, but 500 Days of Summer plays out like every relationship you've ever had; however, managing to remain completely intriguing along the way.

Cherry Blossoms

Rent-it - A must-see unpredictable and moving drama about an aging and diseased couple in love.

Burma VJ

Rent-it - A journalistic documentary behind the scenes in a closed-off Burma.

Brothers Bloom

Rent-it - An unexpectedly great con/caper film not only held up by the award-winning cast but also by the brilliantly offbeat story that feels like a scavenger hunt on film.

Bride Flight

Rent-it - This sappy Dutch melodrama about three women immigrating to New Zealand to find their future husbands is as predictable and nostalgic as a candle-lit bubble bath.

Bottle Shock


Skip-it - An intriguing true story about wine shop owner that fails to shine through on film.

Anvil! The Story of Anvil

Rent-it - If you are lucky enough to find it playing in a theater near you and if you loved This Is Spinal Tap (and who didn't) you will love this documentary of a real-life rock band.  

American Violet

Rent-it - Obvious and unoriginal, this justice system docu-drama delivers on every other level, therefore earning it a mild Rent-it" rating.  

Accidental Husband

Skip-it - A completely baffling movie about an "accidental" marriage that to no-surprise-of-anyone-with half-a-brain displeases the original fiancÈ. Confused? Yeah, me too!

At the Death House Door

Rent-it - An extremely haunting yet interesting documentary about a Pastor who stood by the side of 95 men during their executions, recording his thoughts about each.

Assassination of a High School President

Skip-it - Mischa Barton (The OC) co-stars in this noir/comedy about a school newspaper writer who uncovers a conspiracy.
