Just up at my local Blockbuster Video and plenty of copies of Rendition were available for rent.
Instapundit has a worthy post on the bleeding out of Stop Loss. In the post is a link to a counter anti-war/anti-America Hollywood War movie, Outside the Wire. I am looking forward to adding this film to my collection in the near future.
Rented No Country for Old Men BTW.
I liked it. I used the 4 passes I got from the Bee Movie and took the boys and the neighbor boy to see Enchanted. It was probably not the best choice for the four of us. The boys thought to much kissing stuff took place and not enough of the stuff boys, including myself, like to see in a movie. But a really good movie that lives up to the Disney standard.
The other flicks that were available for viewing were Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium and Fred Claus did not rate as high as Enchanted at Rotten Tomatoes here and here respectively. So in that we don’t get to the theater that often, I think we made a good choice. Holidays mostly are the only time we can get out as a family.
Until Christmas.

Captain Ed also has a nice review of the flick. Written and expressed in a way I only wish I could.
I would wait for it to come out on DVD. Even though the theater we saw it in was having sound problems (got 4 passes for another movie) I found it obvious for myself, not a laugh was really had through out the entire flick. I expected more from Jerry.
Of course it will do fine in theater, DVD and the ton of other periphery sales. So I cry not a tear for the millionaires that will do fine on this movie.

As film makers try to portray the Iraq War in the way they see it. America as the bad guys and the enemy we face as the good guys. These films will continue to fail. Probably the only place these films will do well is with our enemy or in countries who are hostile with our success.
Plenty of great heroic stories have come out of this conflict. Unfortunately these heroic stories do no fit these film makers misguided agendas. Every was in history has had ugly moments, just as every family has skeletons. Only the sick and twisted would prefer to dwell on the ugly parts as opposed to put it behind them and accentuate the positive.
Of course it will only take one good movie to portray a heroic story, of which there are many, and then greedy Hollywood will be all over it to cash in on it. The one true moral Hollywood has, is whatever makes them the most little green rectangles.
