Netflix New Releases This Week
Border Town
It's been a long and bloody road, but five years after his daughter was kidnapped, Vincent (Mark Joy) has finally caught up with the culprits. Now, he's determined to set things straight in this action flick from Chris Allen Williams. Rescue, revenge and retribution all play out over one night in Solo, Mexico, as Vincent attempts to recover his daughter and snuff out the man who nabbed her.
Bedtime with Elmo
It may be bedtime, but that doesn't mean that Elmo and Abby are ready to go to sleep. Luckily, Elmo's father, Louis, has plenty of tricks up his monster sleeve to make the little ones take a break from their silly antics and shuffle off to dreamland. Parents will relish Louis's effective strategies for convincing Elmo and Abby to go to bed in this fun family lullaby. Extras include Andrea Bocelli singing "Time to Say Goodnight" to Elmo.
Jungle Book: Rikki-Tikki-Tavi to the Rescue / Alice in Wonderland: What's the Matter with Hatter? / Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves: The Lost Scimitar of Arabia
Rikki-Tikki-Tavi, Ali Baba, and Alice and her pals the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum are up to their ears in adventure as they fight tigers, battle despotic rulers and tumble down rabbit holes in these children's classics. The collection -- a triple-decker treat -- features first-rate computer animation, original tunes and music, and a fresh take on some favorite stories.
Power Rangers: RPM: Vol. 1: Start Your Engines
Using hand-to-hand combat skills and powerful Zord Attack Vehicles, the heroic RPM Power Rangers protect Earth's last inhabited city, Corinth, from the menacing droid army of Venjix, an evil computer virus determined to annihilate humankind. In this volume of children's action-adventure episodes, the Rangers incorporate rebellious newcomers Dillon (Daniel Ewing) and Ziggy (Milo Cawthorne) into their team.
Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves
Raised by an infamous gang of thieves after his father, the Caliph of Baghdad, is killed, Ali Baba (Jon Hall) resolves to seek vengeance for his father's murder and reclaim his rightful place as the royal leader of Baghdad in this classic adventure. Meanwhile, he falls in love with beautiful Amara (Maria Montez), the daughter of an evil Mongol tyrant's advisor, and must rescue her from a terrifying fate in the clutches of his enemies.
Lonely Are the Brave
Kirk Douglas makes a lasting impression as Jack Burns -- one of a dying breed, the American cowboy -- in this modern-day Western that finds Burns purposely landing in jail to spring a friend (Michael Kane) … but discovering that he doesn't want to be sprung. Burns then busts out alone, with the town sheriff (Walter Matthau) pursuing the escapee in a chase that pits man and horse against man and technology. Carroll O'Connor also stars.
Sherlock Holmes
John Barrymore stars as the brilliant detective in a silent classic. Sherlock Holmes comes to the aid of a young prince who stands accused of a crime so heinous it could trigger an international incident. The sleuth and his faithful assistant, Dr. Watson (Roland Young), discover that the prince's plight is part of a vast plot, the work of a criminal genius who wants nothing less than to destroy Western civilization.
The Trail of the Lonesome Pine
Henry Fonda, Fred MacMurray and Sylvia Sidney play the leading roles in this well-crafted adaptation of John Fox Jr.'s 1908 novel about a love triangle and a long-running feud between two Appalachian families. The movie's real stars, however, are the lush outdoor scenes -- the first to be filmed in Technicolor outside a studio setting. Other highlights include cowboy sidekick Fuzzy Knight crooning two ballads (one of which earned an Oscar nod).
Applause for Miss E
When the happy family life she worked so hard to build crumbles around her, Elestra Henton (Vanessa Bell Calloway) returns to the stage to revive her long-abandoned dreams of becoming a professional stand-up comedian. But when her self-centered former manager comes back into the picture, Miss E must confront a slew of old secrets that come to light. This inspiring comedy from director Michael Whaley co-stars Roger Guenveur Smith.
Evil Bong 2: King Bong
Stoner humor abounds in this horror sequel that finds the gang from Evil Bong -- including Larnell (John Patrick Jordan) and Luanne (Robin Sydney) -- traveling to South America to find a cure for the side effects they've suffered since inhaling from the original bad-boy bong. Instead, their jungle trek brings them face-to-face with the even more lethal King Bong, and soon, they're battling both their old enemy Eebee and the killer Poontang Tribe.
Run Robot Run!
Uptight desk jockey Kent (Chris Gibbs) loses his cool when newly hired Adam (Peter Mooney) -- a handsome, affable and brilliant android -- starts outperforming him. To protect his comfy life, Kent foolishly tries to ruin his robotic rival by any means necessary. This quirky Canadian comedy set in the near future also features Lara Kelly as cute co-worker Allison and Christian Potenza as the hero's screwy pal, Garth.
The Watermelon
Divorced, disenchanted and disinclined to do anything besides smoke dope and watch TV, Achilles (Will Beinbrink) finds his desultory existence turned upside down when he receives an odd inheritance -- a camping trailer decked out as a watermelon. Despite reservations, Achilles accepts the "gift," and soon the parked behemoth is attracting all kinds off oddballs -- including the young runaway Achilles finds sleeping there in this romantic comedy.
Young & Handsome: An Evening with Jeff Garlin
Known best for playing Larry David's long-suffering manager on "Curb Your Enthusiasm," Jeff Garlin is a comedian with a flare for storytelling, as this concert definitely demonstrates. Filmed at The Second City improv theatre in Garlin's hometown of Chicago, the self-deprecating comic discusses the first time he ever stole something, fat men falling and the joy of donuts. Bonus features include Garlin being interviewed by comedian Bob Odenkirk.
A Day in the Life
Featuring characters spitting hip hop verses instead of dialogue, this explosive urban drama charts the grueling day of young gangster Stick (Sticky Fingaz) as he copes with his friends' deaths, runs from the police and debates whether to ditch the game for good. This innovative portrayal of thug life co-stars Omar Epps, Mekhi Phifer, Michael Rapaport, Fredro Starr, Faizon Love and Bokeem Woodbine.
Coco Chanel
Shirley MacLaine (in a Golden Globe-nominated role) stars in this Lifetime biopic, which tells the story of one of fashion's most prominent women, Coco Chanel, starting with her humble beginnings in a French orphanage, up through to her unparalleled success as a fashion icon. The film also explores Chanel's dramatic personal life, including her intense and tragic love affair with an English gentleman, as well as her infamously ill-tempered personality. Malcolm McDowell co-stars.
Lovely by Surprise
Suffering from writer's block, novelist Marian Walker (Carrie Preston) turns to her mentor and ex-lover, Jackson (Austin Pendleton). But his advice unexpectedly leads one of her characters to escape from the novel and stir up the unresolved issues in her life. A visually striking film festival favorite, this lyrical drama explores the intersection of life and fiction, the links between past and present, and the meaning of life, death and love.
Dead Wood
An inexorable force wants four friends dead and is bent on revealing numerous foreboding omens to let them know. Their wilderness weekend camping trip is about to get even creepier when they meet Ketsy (Nina Kwok), who suddenly appears. Co-starring Fergus March, Emily Juniper, John Samuel Worsey and Rebecca Craven, this well-crafted, special effects-filled British horror movie rises above its common premise to deliver truly frightening chills.
The Unborn
Tortured by frightening dreams at night and the ghost of a young boy during the day, young Casey (Odette Yustman) turns to a spiritual adviser (Gary Oldman) for help. Together, the two uncover and try to stop a powerful family curse dating back to the Nazi era. David S. Goyer writes and directs this supernatural thriller that also stars Cam Gigandet, Meagan Good and Jane Alexander.
Push
On the run from the Division, a dangerous government agency that uses people with psychic abilities to do their bidding, telekinetic Nick Gant (Chris Evans) and clairvoyant Cassie Holmes (Dakota Fanning) team up to find a third psychic who can help them destroy the organization. But when the Division picks up their trail, it sends a powerful agent (Djimon Hounsou) to stop them at all costs. Paul McGuigan directs this thriller.
Five Fingers
Dutch jazz pianist Martijn (Ryan Phillippe) leaves Amsterdam to start a food program in Morocco. But once there, he and his English bodyguard (Colm Meaney) are kidnapped, drugged and imprisoned by a band of terrorists led by the chess-loving Ahmat (Laurence Fishburne). Pressed by his captors about the funding source behind his food program, Martijn must fight to stay alive in this gripping psychological thriller.

Good? Out of 24, I'd pick 2 that I'd say are good and 2 others that aren't exactly what I would call good but good enough if I'm bored. :-)

I was going to buy a used copy of Transformers but after speaking to 3 different CS reps (who couldn't agree on whether the bonus disc was part of the price or not), I've opted to buy a new copy instead. Their loss.

Just Ranting
Has it ever happened to you where you've set your queue just right? My days off are Wednesdays and Thursdays. I return movies on Saturday or Sunday and by Monday or Tuesday, Netflix sends me my set of 3 new movies from my queue. It's a great system, I've got it all down pat until... SWMBO.
She Who Must Be Obeyed, every now and then, goes in to the queue and rearranges things. She adds movies that she would like to see someday BUT she adds them to the top of the queue.

In a Dark Place
So there I was looking for a new movie to add to my queue. Having seen or added all the movies that I wanted, I decided to check out the new New Release page. In a Dark Place with Leelee Sobieski was recommended. I like her... she's like a mini-Helen Hunt. I read the reviews. All 108 of them. Most of them saying how horrible this movie is. How the ending is so bad that you are left wondering what the hell exactly happened. Now I actually want to add this movie to my queue.

- I never intended to start anything with that thread. I feel awful about the way that it took a turn. I was just looking for a pal who had experienced the same thing that I did. Perhaps I do have skin that is too thin, I have been told that before. I will just avoid discussions in the future. At any rate, I appreciated your honest answer to my honest question.
