Cinenaut	post #1  on May 27, 2009 - 12:07 PM PDT   I was inbetween GC shipments a couple of weeks ago, so I went into a Bl*ckbuster for the first time in a long time. There, to my surprise, I found several movies I'd been eagerly waiting for, in "Bl*ckbuster Exclusive" cases. These included: A Christmas Tale Fear(s) of the Dark My Winnipeg I was surprised by the quality of the films that were locked into this deal. I mean, it would be one thing to have an exclusive on Dude, Where's My Car II or something, but here they are holding up art films for the rest of us.

Usually these films are the ones distributed by the Weinstien Brothers or, until just recently, IFC films.
