Biutiful

Rent-it - A funny looking Oscar winner Javier Bardem (who? I know - he's the bad guy from No Country for Old Men) ironically makes this script about a father's love for his children even more beautiful than the title suggests.

Extract

Rent-it - Jason Bateman (Juno) and Mila Kunis (Forgetting Sarah Marshall) in another Mike Judge (Office Space) comedy about the workplace. Yes, please!

Enlighten Up!

Rent-it - You rarely get to say thought-provoking and funny in the same phrase, but this documentary about a yoga-loving filmmaker is just that.

Elizabeth (1 & 2)

Rent-it - For both of these films, Cate Blanchett turns in her typically stellar performance making this "history lesson" more interesting, entertaining, and dramatic than you expect.

Edge of Love

Skip-it - One can understand how a man could fall for both Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller at the same time, making these two hours of your movie-viewing life pointless.

Eat Pray Love

Skip-it - Despite the catchy trailer song, and Julia Roberts headlining, this film is very skippable, especially if you read or plan to read the much, much better book.

12

Rent-it - An adaptation of 12 Angry Men, this film follows a jury about to find a young boy guilty in the murder of his stepfather, a Russian military officer. However, one of the jurors votes in favor of acquittal.  

127 Hours

Rent-it - James Franco is the infamous outdoorsman Aron Ralston who famously got trapped under a boulder while on one of his solo adventures - and whether or not you know the ending you will be completely moved, shocked and thrilled by the finale.

Easy A

Rent-it - This film about high school, virginity, and cliques is smart, and though it doesn't ace the test, it definitely brings home a solid B+ on the report card.
