We can't be gaming all the time, despite our best efforts, and from time to time we'll actually take advantage of the movie-playing abilities on our gaming systems. JBO features our top picks for XBL, PSN, Netflix's Watch Instantly and Blu-ray each week. Recommendations of the Week:
O'Horten (DVD: $28.69 MSRP. Available at Amazon and on Netflix, available Tuesday) This is one of the quirkiest and most charming films since Amelie. It's a surreal look inside the life of a solitary Norwegian train engineer on the eve of his retirement. He has no idea what he's going to do with his life, and over the course of a couple of days he has some very strange adventures. Seriously, on paper I would have found this movie boring. However, it's extremely moving and fun. Yes, you're going to have to read some subtitles, but look past that and give it a chance. Beautifully shot, and lead actor Bård Owe says more by saying nothing than most actors ever say at all.
Read for the full list on a system-by-system basis just after the break. As usual, we'll see you at the popcorn st -- well, actually, we won't see you at all. But you catch our drift. Plus, be sure to tell us what you'll be watching, or what you've seen recently that bowled you over.
