|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shnat Effes (Year Zero) - Unrated | Strongly recommended. It's an Israeli film that makes no overt political statement, other than asserting that the inhabitants of Tel Aviv are very human. Put this at the top of your netflix queue. | December 12, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Sin Nombre - R | The story arc was somewhat predictable and even with that I was still on the edge of my seat for the whole movie. Strongly recommended. | October 16, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Away We Go - R | I went in with low expectations and was blown away by how well put together and enjoyable this was. See it. | October 16, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Charley Varrick - PG | Roku box strong recommendation. Tight story, great cinematography of New Mexico landscapes, and that 70's feeling. Joe Don Baker is so nasty here! | August 17, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Blindness - R | On Roku. If 'Babel' and 'Children of Men' had a baby, it would be this film. Pessimistic tone, but captivating. | August 14, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Irina Palm - R | Roku box recommendation. A very sweet story in a seedy setting. | August 14, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Låt den Rätte Komma In (Let the Right One in) - R | Roku box. Creepy AND charming at the same time. Very much worth a look. | August 6, 2009 | N/A | |||
| The Princess of Nebraska - Unrated | Roku box. Good looking movie with an interested story and characters, but I gotta warn you that the director really enjoys lingering on a shots, so don't start this when you're at all sleeply. | August 5, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Palo Alto - Unrated | Roku box choice. Watchable and entertaining, if not terribly deep. | August 4, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Gadjo dilo (Crazy Stranger) - Unrated | Available on Roku. Outstanding. Not for the kiddos. | June 6, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Wedding Weekend (Shut Up and Sing) - Unrated |
Completely innocuous. You will watch through to the end expecting it to get a little bit funnier or more meaningful, and it won't.

| Assassination Tango - R | June 3, 2009 | N/A | ||||
| Saturn in Opposition - Unrated | April 28, 2009 | N/A | ||||
| Efter brylluppet (After the Wedding) - R | Gorgeous cinematography, captivating story, sympathetic leads. It took me several sittings to finish it, which actually made it more enjoyable. | February 11, 2009 | N/A | |||
| The Blue Butterfly - PG | See it with the kids. Be warned that there are a few intense scares towards the end and the kids will freak out for a little bit. Great visuals. | January 30, 2009 | N/A | |||
| The Visitor - PG-13 | Yes, this is the movie. Don't read the reviews or even the box. Just pop it in the player. Honest. | January 26, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Just Sex and Nothing Else (Csak szex és más semmi) - Unrated | Hungarian RomCom anyone? Serviceable, occasionally funny. | January 26, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Lonesome Jim - R | If you enjoy misanthropes, you may enjoy this. Occasionally funny, often bleak. | January 26, 2009 | N/A | |||
| How to Go Out on a Date in Queens - R | Truly mediocre, yet we watched it till the end. You can find better than this, even if you've picked your video store clean. | January 26, 2009 | N/A | |||
| El Aura (The Aura) - Unrated | Very well constructed but completely lacking in humor or charm or even a hint of levity. Excellent performance by the dog. | January 20, 2009 | N/A | |||
| The Caveman's Valentine - R | Best police procedural ever. Well, maybe not, but a pretty watchable extended law & order episode. | January 20, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Kebab Connection - Unrated | Not consistently good or funny all the way through, but worth a few chuckles. | January 17, 2009 | N/A | |||
| Hamlet 2 - R | January 8, 2009 | N/A | ||||
| Mongol - R | Totally badass. Depth of the story and the brilliance of the images extreme. Go see it. Now. | December 14, 2008 | N/A | |||
| Made of Honor - PG-13 | The writer(s) put this together on a cocktail napkin, and went for the most non-funny comedy imaginable, and the dumbest love story ever. There is nothing that made this movie watchable, unless you turned it into a game where each time you called out the plot twist of dialogue, everybody has to drink | December 13, 2008 | N/A |
