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.

Wristcutters is very interesting.

Open Range was a very solid western. You people are crazy.
