Hi Everyone,

Happy New Year!  Got a lot of great new movies coming in so keep your eyes peeled for the latest, hottest titles as you browse the shelves.  Start off the new year with some of these recent favorites:

 

The Sapphires

Starring Chris O'Dowd, Deborah Mailman, Jessica Mauboy, Shari Sebbens, Miranda Tapsell, Tory Kittles

Inspired by a true story, it's 1968, and four young, talented Australian Aboriginal girls learn about love, friendship, and war when their all-girl group the Sapphires entertains U.S. troops in Vietnam.  PG-13. 2012, Australia. Comedy/Drama. English.

The Trip to Italy

Starring Steve Coogan, Rob Brydon, Rosie Fellner, Claire Keelan

Once again two comedy buddies/rivals take a culinary road trip, retracing the steps of the Romantic poets' grand tour of Italy and indulging in some sparkling banter and impersonation-offs. The two enjoy mouthwatering meals in gorgeous settings from Liguria to Capri. Hilarious. Not Rated. 2014, UK. Comedy. English.

The Best Offer

Starring Geoffrey Rush, Jim Sturgess, Sylvia Hoeks, Donald Sutherland

When a mysterious heiress asks famed but unscrupulous art appraiser and auctioneer Virgil Oldman to evaluate her late parents' collection yet remains forever unseen behind closed doors, it ignites a spark of curiosity in the normally austere Virgil that soon grows into an all-out obsession. Before long everything in Virgil's carefully constructed life threatens to come apart as he delves ever further into the world of intrigue surrounding his enigmatic employer. Rated R. 2014, Italy. English.

Enjoy!
