Nacho Libre
Nacho (Jack Black) is a young man who was raised in a Mexican
monastery in Oaxaca and now works there as the cook, and takes it upon himself
to rescue the holy place from financial ruin by joining a local Lucha Libre
tournament and becoming one of the Luchadores. Naturally, Nacho isn't acting out
of purely altruistic measures, as he wishes to help Sister Encarnacion (Ana de
la Reguera), a beautiful Mexican nun who has recently arrived at the monastery,
as well as the gaggle of young orphans who live there. Napoleon Dynamite fans
will enjoy this quirky flick.

Aquamarine
Two twelve year old girls are in love with a dilapidated beach club near their
home. After a huge storm, they discover Aquamarine, a mermaid, in the pool of
the club. Aquamarine then falls in love with the cute, young boy who runs the

importantly, they learns some important lessons about the power of friendship,
the true magic of love, and the importance of standing on your own two feet.
This film quickly grows into a beautiful, sentimental story.
