New and Hot
Origins of This Blog:

One evening whilst craving a flick, we stopped at our local Redbox looking for something "new and hot." It was this phrase that incapsulated what we were seeking, not only in movies, but in life. What was currently prevailing in our lives was "new and hot's" evil opposite "old and cold," and it's cruelly subtle cousin "lukewarm and mediocre." It is through this blog that we hope to teach you how to discern what's new and hot so you too can get WITH IT!
