Slumdog Millionaire

Not sure which DVD to pull off the new release shelf? Need a new Blu-ray to show off in 1080p? Or maybe you're looking through the new releases on Netflix and don't know what to add to your queue? 

This week you'll be tempted by some big name actors and even bigger marketing budgets, but put those back and go for these interesting foreign stories and relatively unknown performances:

Slumdog Millionaire - Buy-it - This year's best-picture has an uninteresting plot summary that may have kept you from seeing in theaters, but it truly is the best story of the year

Timecrimes - Rent-it - If you like twisted twists and an occasional smirk

Tell No One - Rent-it - Worth trading your time and money for a few skipped heart beats

Marley & Me - Rent-it - If you are a pet loving cinefile with a desire to drain your tear ducts

Broken - Skip-it - Another in a long unsatisfying line of recent try-to-hard-to-be-original horror films

Jim Gaffigan: King Bab\y - Skip-it* - *Only because you can catch it on Comedy Central

GPS The Movie - Skip-it - A not-so-thrilling "thriller" based on the new GPS scavenger hunt craze

Seven Pounds - Skip-it - An obvious, illogical attempt at a best-picture-esque story
