  • THE LAST CIRCUS - Manic Spanish thriller, somewhere between Pan's Labyrinth and Dark Knight... but better!!!

  • SUBMARINE - Looking for a light, well crafted, rom-com??? Try this British film on an overly intellectual teen, working to keep his parents' marriage alive while trying score with his new girlfriend.
  • TREE OF LIFE - May not be everyone's cup of tea, Terrence Malick's newest is a brooding visual poem quite unlike the typical fare. Stars Sean Penn and Brad Pitt.

  • PAGE ONE - Great customer feedback on this documentary look at the making of front page news.

  • WITHOUT MOTIVE S.1 & 2 - Fans of British detective series take note!
  • THE TRIP - Realer than real, utterly dry, but we love it.
  • LEAP YEAR - Mexico City, a frumpy woman explores her sexuality to dangerous effect.
  • DANCE FU - Not another teen dance flick??? This one's directed by Cedric the Entertainer and it's way way stupid. I laughed, a lot.
  • SNUFF BOX - American sketch comedy not raunchy, random enough for ya? Try this one.
  • THE LEAGUE S.2 - Funny FX TV show, centered around fantasy footballers, but really just a bunch of shit-talking going on here. Better than the first season to boot.
