Hmm... it looks like they don't support RSS feeds.  That's too bad! This 
makes me want to switch back to Netflix so I can use this.  I only 
switched to Blockbuster because I get 2 free in store rentals a month, 
so I really get 5 movies for the same price as Netflix's 3 per month.

Anyway, thanks for the great plugin.
