Rendition. Here is another war-themed film that tanked at the box office. Its content was also unsavory to a large portion of the population who are not interested in seeing these themes played out in a fictional setting while the real thing is still ongoing.

It tackles the policy of extraordinary rendition, which allows the government to disappear individuals of interest to locations outside of official jurisdiction where they can be tortured for information, in this case, Reese Witherspoon's character's Egyptian-born husband. He is tortured under the auspices of Jake Gyllenhall and a rather ruthless torture professional.

I cannot say it is a good film, and the issues seem to be oversimplified, but could be worth a rental.

Kurt Cobain: About a Son. This could definitely prove interesting. I have no firsthand knowledge of the film, but there is no denying the subject is an intriguing individual who has garnered considerable interest in the years since his untimely demise.

Director AJ Schnack has put together this documentary with taped recordings and interviews with Kurt Cobain covering his lifetime. Essentially, you get to listen to him tell his own life story. Frankly, this sounds rather interesting, as well as something you do not often see.

Margot at the Wedding. Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Jack Black star in Noah Baumbach's latest film. His last outing was 2005's Oscar-nominated The Squid and the Whale. This time he turns his eye on a pair of sisters whose lives become torn open and exposed to the world when Kidman and her son pay Leigh a visit following the news of her engagement to Jack Black.

I thought the trailers for this were interesting, although I never had the opportunity to see it. Jack Black seemed like an interesting cast choice. I look forward to catching it on DVD.

Redacted. This is a film I am not sure I want to see. It is yet another war-themed film (a lot coming out in one week, don't you think?). This one is from Brian DePalma and, like many of his past films has drawn a pretty strong line between lovers and haters.

It was shot in such a way to make you think you are actually watching it through camcorder and security footage It concerns itself with real events such as a rape conducted by American soldiers.

Frankly, I think this may be the one that I am the most not interested in of the recent slate of war films.
