Just in time for Valentine's Day, the most swoonerific tales of child manipulation, homicidal maniacs, fighting couples, unhappy Midwesterners, toilet seats and Nia Vardalos. A special brand of horrible, this is the tale of a little girl who falls in love with a grown man who manipulates her into loving him, then impregnates her with time-traveling fetuses who abort themselves by teleporting out of her uterus to die in another time and place over and over again. Perfect first date movie!
Couples Retreat
One of those wouldn't-be-caught-dead-paying-12-bucks-to-see-it, but will-likely-break-down-and-rent-it-'cause-our-only-other-crowd-pleaser-option-is-Time-Traveler's-Wife-and-that's-like-90%-miscarriages-so-no-way kind of movies.
A Serious Man
The Coen Brothers masterpiece you kept meaning to get around to seeing, but kept putting off to stay inside and watch all the DVDs from last year's cred movies you kept putting off seeing until they weren't in theaters anymore instead. Now you can add this to your catch-up calendar.
The Stepfather
Dan Humphries and Sean McNamara pissing all over Terry O'Quinn's legacy, and not even for charity or anything!
Serious Moonlight
This is the movie where Meg Ryan duct tapes Timothy Hutton to a toilet seat for the whole thing. Make sure to get the widescreen version so you can get the full toilet seat in the frame.
I Hate Valentine's Day
First of all, don't hate Valentine's Day. It is awesome, even if you're single -- there is candy everywhere, and everything's pink and red, which are hands down the best colors. Anyway, Nia Vardalos movies never make it into theaters anymore, but I still like her (Connie & Carla is the jam!). This one reunites her with John Corbett, who reforms the serial dating Vardalos into a monogamy-loving romantic. All signs point to terrible, but really, nothing's bad when you're chewing on conversation hearts.
Celtic Thunder: It's Entertainment!
Ordinarily I'd balk at a DVD trying to trick me into renting it by just literally naming itself "Entertainment," but I caught one of the commercials for it this weekend, and though it went by fast, they did a good job selling it as some sort of gay Irish karaoke follies, so, yes, entertainment is correct.

I Hate Valentine's Day SUCKS! I watched it during Valentine's day in Brazil last year. Worst decision ever. I just rented Serious Moolight, for the cast, director and writer more than for the story. I'll also watch Couple's Retreat eventually, and The Time Traveler's Wife is the number 1 movie on my netflix Queue. The book was amazing, I'm excited for the movie.
Clearly you don't understand timetravelling paradox that is an integral part of the novel and movie. In order for him to travel back to visit Clair(e)? he had to have already been in love with her to begin with. Thus, they were always going to end up together.
Also, as demonstrated in the movie Henry is likewise trapped by the relationship. In fact, I think it's worse on her behalf because her feelings are allowed to grow organicallly over years of contact, whereas she expects him to fall for her straight away.
i love everything about this lolz wateva im outy 2 thousand
