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 fiancĂ. 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.
