'Pirates' Storm Redbox, Overtakes Top Rental Spot

In the mood to rent a movie, but not sure what's popular?

Patch has teamed up with Redbox to bring you the top five movie rentals in our area.

Here’s what’s hot:

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (PG-13): No surprise that Captain Jack Sparrow and his cohorts are popular with movie renters. The next installment in the series could be “Pirates Watching Paint Dry” and it would still rake in $300 million at the box office.

Horrible Bosses (R): Just the title alone would get most people to give this one a chance. The story line is like “Office Space” at the next level – Three friends scheme to murder their bosses when they realize their office superiors are, in a nutshell, making them unhappy. Oh, by the way, it’s a comedy.
Green Lantern (PG-13): What is it with our fascination with super hero movies? At least this one involves some teamwork.

Monte Carlo (PG): The latest trio of teen girl heartthrobs – Selena Gomez, Leighton Meester and Katie Cassidy – romp through Monte Carlo in this light-hearted case of mistaken identity.

Fast Five (PG-13): How could they possibly extend “The Fast and The Furious” to a fifth movie? Simple, move everything to Brazil. If you loved the first four, you’ll probably like this one, too.
