Video Marketplace Weekly: it's Sunday edition

by Dustin Burg { May 25th 2008 at 8:00PM }

By golly we have another Video Marketplace Weekly first, because today is the first time ever in the Video Marketplace Weekly feature's existence that it is making its debut on a Sunday. Why a Sunday? Well, we could feed you a list of made up excuses, but we think our relationship is at a point where we can be 100% honest with eachother. The reason is very simple ... we forgot. Shame on us! Shame! Shame! Shame! But look on the bright side, you still get a complete and comprehensive list of new U.S. movie releases to the XBVM albeit a day or two late. Enjoy, be happy and maybe rent a new movie release off the Marketplace this lovely Sunday evening.

This selection always sucks

Actually I recommend The Orphange. Good film from a good director. Watched it last night (same director that is doing The Hobbit).

I also recommend The Life Aquatic, though not everyone likes that style of humour.

Pretty weak choices. I wonder how they choose what to release? I mean, no way could they think these will make a difference.

All part of licensing I believe. Harder / More expensive to get the "paperwork" so to speak to go through for the more AAA releases.

I didn't mind Life Aquatic but obviously it isn't for everyone.

Overall though yea, many releases on XBLVM are not so hot. Not so hot at all.
