The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Bordertown is a 2007 American crime drama film written and directed by Gregory Nava, and starring Jennifer Lopez (who also served as a producer), Martin Sheen, Maya Zapata, Sônia Braga and Antonio Banderas. This is the third film which featured the collaboration between Nava and Lopez, following the 1997's biopic film Selena and 1995's My Family. The film is inspired by the true story of the numerous female homicides in Ciudad Juárez originally brought to light in documentaries produced by Tom Golden and tells the story of an inquisitive American reporter sent in by her American newspaper to investigate the murders. Lopez also recorded a song for the film entitled Porque La Vida Es Asi. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
