The 355

 

A CIA operative joins forces with rival agents when a mission goes awry and a weapon ends up in the hands of mercenaries.

A fun female twist on the James Bond/Mission Impossible genre. 

*** Must See

Rated PG-13 (for language, violence and some sexual content)

Nightmare Alley

 

A drifter finds himself working at a traveling carnival. He quickly picks up on the trade of being a "medium" and leaves the harsh road life of the carnival to go on to bigger and wealthier scores.

Very dark and slowly paced. This is a creepy look at the brutal world of the "carny" in the late 30's/early 40's.  Despite it's bizarre storyline it has great performances, particularly from Cate Blanchett. 

**1/2 Rentable

Rated R (for language, violence and sexual content)

Marry Me

 

A pop superstar is scheduled to get married right after performing her new hit song "Marry Me" - moments before she is to go on she discovers that her fiancé has been cheating on her. In a moment of meltdown she picks a stranger from the crowd and marries him instead. 

For you romcom lovers out there, this is predictable, cheesy, corny and as far fetched as they come. You will love it. For the rest of us. Meh.

** Rentable

Rated PG-13 (for language, crude humor and sexual situations) 

Death on the Nile

 

Based on the Agatha Christie novel (1937) and a remake of the 1978 movie of the same title. This movie follows detective Hercule Poirot's vacation aboard an Egyptian steam boat with a newly married couple and entourage celebrating their honeymoon.

Very fun murder mystery film, and a excellent remake, if you haven't read the book or seen the original - see if you can figure it out!
