Square Grouper
[ 2011, USA ] starting from $1.99The incredible true story of the 1970's pot smuggler culture.
Genres: Documentary
Directors: Billy Corben
Its title taken from the slang term for bales of marijuana that were jettisoned from South Florida boats and airplanes throughout the 1970s and '80s, this documentary from Cocaine Cowboys director Billy Corbin details three remarkable stories about the marijuana trade, and the folks who risked everything to keep America green. With 5,000 miles of coastland neighboring both the Caribbean and Latin America, Florida was the perfect place to smuggle pot into the U.S. But in order to stay out of prison, these laid back smugglers would need to maintain a low profile. As the stories of the Black Tuna Gang, the Ethiopian Zion Coptic Church, and the desperate fishermen of Everglades City unfold, viewers are shown a side of the marijuana trade that most folks only read about in newspapers. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

The Ultimate Wave Tahiti
[ 2010, USA ] starting from $1.99THE ULTIMATE WAVE TAHITI plunges audiences into the stunning beauty of an island paradise on a quest to find the perfect wave-riding experience. Nine-time world surfing champion Kelly Slater and Tahitian surfer Raimana Van Bastolaer and a group of friends seek out the best waves breaking on the reef at Tahiti's famed surf site Teahupo'o. As their quest unfolds, the audience is plunged beneath the surface of things, to explore the hidden forces at work shaping ocean waves and the islands that lie in their path. Amidst playful surfing action, we navigate the cosmos and an ocean storm in a search for the source and nature of a wave's energy. Exploring mountainous Tahiti, we are thrust into the turbulent volcanic past of the island and its neighbors and discover the seagoing, wave-riding roots of the islanders themselves -- a culture still rich in the music, dance and lore of the sea. Beneath the ocean, swimming with our surfers, we explore the stunning, fragile beauty of the reef habitat -- a turbulent, wave-shaping interface that envelops the island and nurtures the ocean's multitudes in motion -- fish, dolphins, sharks and whales. When the truly big surf arrives at Teahupo'o, surfing play becomes surfing survival as the riders artfully tackle some of the heaviest surf on the planet -- spectacularly captured for the giant screen for the first time.

The Parking Lot Movie
[ 2010, USA ] starting from $1.99The Parking Lot Movie is a documentary about a singular parking lot in Charlottesville, Virginia. The film follows a select group of parking lot attendants and their strange rite of passage. The eccentric brotherhood of attendants consist of grad students, overeducated philosophers, surly artists, middle-age slackers and more. This self-described "ragtag group of fractured poets" prefer skateboards and bicycles to cars and have at best a tolerant contempt for the people they serve. That's not to say they don't care about anything. They hang out at the lot even in their spare time, shooting the breeze or playing a spirited game of "flip cone," just because...they like it there. They conduct their own private "war" against the elites, the pretentious and obnoxious customers who park their BMWs, Hummers, Suburbans and other vehicles. They study the art of doing nothing and the knack of getting even with rude, SUV-driving dolts who treat them like inferior beings. The gradual devolution from enthusiasm to resentment in the psyches of guys self-aware enough to notice it is an interesting process; in an attempt to distract themselves from the rapidly mounting bitterness, the attendants amuse themselves any way they can-stenciling random messages on the parking gate, writing songs, even dancing for tips. Through interviews with former attendants who have moved on - we see that their time at the lot has clearly provided rites of passage and afforded them Zen-like perspective. As one parking attendant laments, "We had it all in a world that had nothing to offer us." If the intersection between the status quo and the quest for freedom is their ultimate challenge, could a slab of asphalt be an emotional way station for The American Dream? Written by Anonymous

Niente paura
[ 2010, Italy ] starting from $1.99By telling the story of an Italian musician and his audience, we are telling the story of the last thirty years of our country. But can songs portray a society? And can the artistic career of a musician – in our case Luciano Ligabue – tell the story of the way we were and the way we are now? Popular music speaks to us, and often depicts us better than many essays or sociological studies. It comes from an emotion, from a visceral rhythm. A song can simply stay linked to a particular moment in our lives; it can denote the happiness, bitterness or nostalgia of a memory. It can even “celebrate” a special event, becoming a “rite”, in the best and most secular meaning of the word. Songs and emotion. Songs that are the soundtrack to your personal life but also your social and political life. Songs and memory. Personal memories and collective memories, meaning both the shared memories of a country and the memories of lots of people together. Why Luciano Ligabue? Because he is a popular Italian musician; because when he sings Non è tempo per noi during his concerts, the articles of the Italian Constitution are projected onto the big screens; because when he sings Buonanotte all’Italia the faces of the people who have done something for Italy are shown behind him; because at the end of his concerts he addresses his audience saying: “I would like to wish goodnight / to everyone who lives in this country / but who are here to stay, / because this country belongs to those who live here / and not those who govern it”.

Deux de la Vague
[ 2010, France ] starting from $1.99Genres: Documentary
Actors: Anne Wiazemsky, Oskar Werner, Isild Le Besco
Directors: Emmanuel Laurent
Two in the Wave is the story of a friendship. Jean-Luc Godard was born in 1930; Francois Truffaut two years later. Love of movies brings them together. They write in the same magazines, Cahiers du Cinema and Arts. When the younger of the two becomes a filmmaker with "The 400 Blows", which triumphs in Cannes in 1959, he helps his older friend shift to directing, offering him a screenplay which already has a title, A bout de souffle, or Breathless. Through the 1960s the two loyally support each other. History and politics separate them in 1968, when Godard plunges into radical politics but Truffaut continues his career as before. Between the two of them, the actor Jean-Pierre Leaud is torn like a child caught between two separated and warring parents. Their friendship and their break-up embody the story of French cinema.

A Nightmare in Las Cruces
[ 2010, USA ] starting from $1.99On February 10, 1990 two cowards walked into the Las Cruces Bowl and changed the lives of many people. Seven people inside the bowling alley were forced at gunpoint to the floor and told to put their heads down. After stealing thousands of dollars from the safe, the killers shot all seven multiple times at close range, execution-style. The shooters then started a fire on the desk and fled. Dead at the scene were Amy Houser, Steven Teran, his step-daughter Paula, and Valerie Teran. Incredibly, Melissia Repass, Stephanie C. Senac, and Ida Holguin survived the brutal attack. Repass, just twelve at the time, made the heroic 911 call -despite being shot in the head- which saved three lives at the time. Four out of the seven shot were children, including a two and six year old. For almost twenty years, the two remaining survivors(Senac died in 1999), family members, and friends have had to live with this unspeakable event. The case is unsolved after twenty years and the Las Cruces Police Dept., the FBI, and Crimestoppers plead for your help. Written by Charlie Minn (director)
