Video Marketplace Weekly: the dark one edition

by Dustin Burg { Jul 11th 2008 at 2:00PM }

We aren't going to beat around any bushes with this edition of Video Marketplace Weekly. The new release pickings are so slim, they're semi transparent and don't actually warrant the use of the word "they". "The" is a more appropriate term, because the only new release this week is Batman: Gotham Knight. Which, seeing that we're in a very Batman state of mind, isn't all that bad of a release. And in HD, who could go wrong? Hit the break to be not at all surprised by all the new video release (singular) you'll be treated to.

Video Marketplace Weekly: new fireworks edition

by Dustin Burg { Jul 4th 2008 at 3:30PM }

It's a holiday weekend where we're sure most of you will be out and about, enjoying the sunshine and warm Summer weather. But not all of you will. We know there's a select few (okay, about 76% of you) who will want to stay indoors and maybe rent a new movie release off the Video Marketplace. And really, that's not that bad of an idea. It's such a reasonable idea, that we've compiled a list of all the past week's new U.S. XBVM movie releases even though it isn't much of a list. There's actually only three releases this week which is sort of a bummer. But they're new new releases, so that kind of makes up for it. We'll keep you in suspense until you make it to the break, but we'll leave you with one final warning message. Do not, under any circumstances, rent this week's "Alternate Ending" movie. Stick with the original. Alternate endings only leave room for disappointment, sadness and anger.

Video Marketplace Weekly: 10,000 Rambos edition

by Dustin Burg { Jun 28th 2008 at 3:15PM }

Seeing that we can't be punctual about posting Video Marketplace Weekly on Fridays like originally intended, we're thinking of moving it to a much more weekend-friendly Saturday. Though, don't hold us to that either. Anyhoo, onto this week's new U.S. Video Marketplace movie releases where the pickings are slim, but they're actually NEW new releases. NEW new releases including 10,000 B.C. and Rambo to be exact. Click towards the break to get a heaping helping of new movie release yumminess, but please, no second helpings. Thank you for understanding.

Video Marketplace Weekly: foolish edition

by Dustin Burg { Jun 21st 2008 at 12:00PM }

Again, just like clockwork, we bring you yet another edition of Video Marketplace Weekly where we breakdown all the past week's new U.S. Video Marketplace movie releases. We do it because we care about you and your movie rental habits. And this week's new releases are ... well, nothing overly special, but they are new and that has to mean something. We guess a highlight could be the release of Fool's Gold solely because it's McConaughey'riffic! That said ... we don't see much more. Click that break link and see if you can find some gems among the new Video Marketplace releases.

Video Marketplace Weekly: Pirates & ninjas edition

by Dustin Burg { Jun 14th 2008 at 5:45AM }

One of the greatest rivalries known to man has taken its battle to the U.S. Video Marketplace this week, where each group is fighting, kicking and clawing to the death for XBVM supremacy. We're of course talking about the legendary pirates versus ninjas rivalry where new XBVM release Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest will represent the pirates team and the classic (and free) rental Ninja Hunter will represent team ninja. Who will win? We aren't sure, but whatever the outcome is we all should take comfort in knowing that ninjas are way cooler than those smelly pirates. Ninja kick or pirate peg leg kick towards the break for a complete list of this week's new movie releases. High-yarrr!

Video Marketplace Weekly: Imagine clover edition

by Dustin Burg { Jun 7th 2008 at 5:00AM }

This past week, the U.S. Video Marketplace has been on fire and should put any anti-XBVM fanboy's whining to rest. For at least a week anyway. The reason we say this is because there have been numerous super new and rather enjoyable movie releases to the Marketplace these past seven days, including National Treasure 2, Semi-Pro, South Park Imaginationland and this fanboy's personal favorite, Cloverfield. There's a stellar list of new releases to check out after the break, so get checking and queue up some movie rentals tonight.

Video Marketplace Weekly: There Will Be edition

by Dustin Burg { May 30th 2008 at 6:00PM }

We've finally gotten our act together and are bringing you this very Friday edition of Video Marketplace Weekly to get you in the mood for a weekend full of lazy XBVM movie rentals. Usually we talk a quick and dirty recap about what new movies became available this past week, but this time there really is no need. There isn't a need because one movie rental is all you should care about. There Will Be Blood. This film is a masterpiece, a Daniel Day Lewis epic and true actor's acting movie that will knock you down only to stand you back up and knock you over once again. There Will Be Blood is a must see. And know that you're getting your downloading money's worth too, because the HD version clocks in at a ginormous 7.2GB in file size, where every MB is worth the wait. Go. Rent. Now.

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.

Video Marketplace Weekly: Sweeney edition

by Dustin Burg { May 16th 2008 at 12:30PM }

Last week's massive list of new Xbox Video Marketplace releases was best described as massive, though the amount of actual good movies wasn't there. But this week it's a total flip flop. This week's U.S. XBVM only received seven new releases, but one of them is Sweeney Todd. A Johnny Depp movie, which means we whole heartily approve. Heck, this week there's even National Treasure for cheap, which too is a good movie (though there isn't an HD rental option). Check the list of new releases after the break, because even though the list is slim, you may find something you enjoy.

Video Marketplace Weekly: too many edition

by Dustin Burg { May 9th 2008 at 2:30PM }

We're going to be honest with you, because that's what we expect you expect from us. This week's list of new U.S. Video Marketplace releases is massive which results in this edition of Video Marketplace Weekly being massive as well. Almost too big. There are new movie rentals that range from Paris Hilton's The Hottie and the Nottie to old-school Michael J. Fox Teen Wolf to The Blue Collar Comedy Tour. There's absolutely no way we can group or categorize the randomness and quantity of new XBVM releases this week. Take a look after the break for a list of this week's new XBVM releases which, we must say one more time, is massively massive.

Video Marketplace Weekly: go fly a kite edition

by Dustin Burg { May 2nd 2008 at 2:15PM }

Spring is finally springing and that means rain, rain and even more rain. It's just what happens this time of year kids. That's why this edition of Video Marketplace Weekly is so important, because if rain ends up spoiling your normally fun filled outdoor activities, you know there's always a freshly baked movie waiting for you to rent off the Video Marketplace. And even though this week's releases aren't all that new or exciting (except for The Kite Runner), we're sure you can find something in the XBVM catalog. Stay dry, stay indoors and spend those points.

Video Marketplace Weekly: toxic life edition

by Dustin Burg { Apr 25th 2008 at 2:00PM }

Making its way back to its normal Friday time slot is yet another Video Marketplace Weekly and this week we have a bunch of new movie goodness. That is if you enjoy toxic horror movies or comedic gold, because Toxic Avenger Part II and III as well as Toxic Crusaders: The Movie released to the U.S. Video Marketplace. Also, the Steve Carell comedy Dan in Real Life released which, we'll admit, has to feature one of our favorite movie covers. Probably because we like pancakes and listening to them as if they were a bowl of Rice Krispies. Anyway, make you way to the break to digest this week's U.S. Video Marketplace new releases.

Video Marketplace Weekly: legendary edition

by Dustin Burg { Apr 19th 2008 at 9:30AM }

It's time for another installment of Video Marketplace Weekly and we have a fun fact: Did you know there has been only two editions of Video Marketplace Weekly that have appeared on Saturday, with one of them being today? Did you also know that when Video Marketplace weekly appears on Saturday instead of its normal Friday time slot, it's usually due to the writer forgetting totally about it? It's interesting and true.

This week, we'll keep the wordage down to a minimum, because all you really need to know is that I Am Legend is on the Marketplace and in juicy HD glory. We think you'll agree that killing zombie-vampires will never look so good. But there are other new video rental gems as well, so we advise taking a jump towards the break to read about all eleven of them. Sound like a plan? Good. Head towards the break as soon as you can.

Video Marketplace Weekly: no country edition

by Dustin Burg { Apr 11th 2008 at 3:45PM }

Can you believe it? We survived the entire week, making it all the way through Friday with our sanity intact. Congrats! So, as a "you made it through the week kid" congratulatory gift, we're offering up another edition of Video Marketplace Weekly. Lucky you! And wouldn't you know, this week is extra, super, hydro (hydro?) special because we're being treated to a high definition rental of the Oscar award winning No Country for Old Men. One of the most amazing films ... like ... evar! It's so good, you'll probably never want to watch another movie ever again, unless of course Javier Bardem stars in it. Click towards the break to see what other movies made it onto the U.S. Video Marketplace this week. You deserve it.

Video Marketplace Weekly: weekend edition

by Dustin Burg { Apr 5th 2008 at 8:15AM }

Yes, we are fully aware we're a day late on this one and we apologize for it. We know how much you love your Friday edition of Video Marketplace Weekly, but this Saturday edition is just as filling, satisfying and all with 40% less sodium. Your heart with thank you. And this week the U.S. Video Marketplace gets a rather solid lineup with movies like The Exorcist, Raging Bull and the semi-new flick Into The Wild. Which is one of those award movies that carries the "love it" or "hate it" recommendation from friends. Click towards the break for your day late dose of weekly Video Marketplace intake and begin your weekend rental spree. Microsoft needs your money.
