New On Netflix: Available Now
| | 1. Exit Through the Gift Shop The movie all your hip friends have been raving about is finally on Streaming. Check it! |
| | 2. Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire The most ridiculously-named movie of the last couple of years is finally available for easy viewing. |
| | 3. LOST The sixth season of the seminal sci-fi series seeps onto Snetflix. Sorry I shan't sustain this, so sorry! |
| | 4. Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work Raves abound for this bio-doc about the unfortunately facelifted E! entertainment fixture. |
| | 5. Ichi the Killer Miike's incredibly weird film about a man who kills people with his boots. Watch it with an empty stomach. |
| | 6. The Money Pit For some reason I have fond memories of this film, even if I don't remember Shelley Long being good in much of anything beyond Cheers. Oh, and those Brady Bunch movies; she was all right there. |
Netflix Expiring Soon!
| | 1. The Rock Dec 18: Winners go home and fuck Nic Cage. Wait, is that the right quote? |
| | 2. Sense and Sensibility Dec 18: I possess neither. Will I like this movie? I have so little time to decide! |
| | 3. Torchwood Dec 20: Everyone's favorite bisexual adventure story is leaving streaming, alas. Get your groove on while it lasts. |
| | 4. Iron Man Dec 27: We've all seen this by now, but it's still one of the bigger films on streaming, so it's a shame that it's coming down. |
| | 5. Archer Dec 15: You only have ONE DAY to check one of Alex's favorite animated TV shows! |
| | 6. Blue Thunder Dec 26: Roy Scheider can't do a loop in a helicopter...CAN HE??? |
| | 7. The Seventh Seal Dec 21: If only because it's engendered a number of incredibly pretentious references in the decades since its release, it's worth checking out Bergman's masterpiece before it leaves Netflix. |
| | 8. 3 Ninjas Dec 21: I don't know why I put this on here. It's fucking terrible. I also totally hate it when Arabic numerals are used in movie titles. Three Ninjas, please. |
| | 9. Inland Empire Dec 16: One of Lynch's stranger films (and that's saying something) is apt to disappear if you don't watch it this week. |
Netflix Coming Soon
| | 1. Shutter Island Dec 31: A lot of mixed opinions on this one. Whether you loved it or hated it, it's still worth at least one re-viewing, and you'll get your chance on New Year's Eve. |
| | 2. A Prophet Dec 18: Last year's excellent prison-house drama has an amazing final shot. It's rough viewing at times, but has some great performances. |
| | 3. I'm Still Here Dec 23: I'm Still Probably not going to watch this. |
| | 4. Chicago Dec 24: Kind of shocking that this movie won six Oscars (including Best Picture) and made a ton of money ($170 million). Its run-away success probably spurred the development of any number of musicals in the rest of the decade, so there's that. |
| | 5. Predator 2 Dec 24: Truly one of Gary Busey's finest performances, soon to be available in your living room. |
| | 6. Rosemary's Baby Dec 28: I'm still of the opinion that the ending to this movie kind of kills it for me. But I bow to the conventional wisdom. Well, actually I don't. |
| | 7. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Undead Dec 15: Clever title for a movie that apparently stars Devon Aoki and Ralph Macchio. Not a good sign. |
| | 8. The Extra Man Dec 16: I kind of detested this movie for a lot of reasons, but now you can give it a chance yourself with almost no obligation beyond a little bit of time. |
| | 9. Time Bandits Dec 20: One of Gilliam's best movies, a charming little tale of imagination and dwarves. |
| | 10. Eyeborgs Dec 20: Finally, you can catch up with the film that almost permanently damaged the brains of Alex and I when we actually filmed ourselves watching movies. Ah, the days before The Screening Room. |
| | 11. Soul Kitchen Dec 21: Another movie that didn't click with me. Maybe one of you will find more entertainment in the prospect of watching a German man grasp his back and making funny faces. |
| | 12. Kelly's Heroes Dec 22: One of Eastwood's starring roles in between the Man With No Name and Dirty Harry. Fun little war movie! |
| | 13. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation Dec 22: Just in time for Christmas! |
| | 14. City Island Dec 23: One of Andy Garcia's best performances, apparently. This looked like just another "independent movie about a quirky family", but maybe I'll check it out now that I can do so with the minimum amount of effort. |
| | 15. Countdown to Zero Dec 23: Documentary about nuclear weapons. Sure to be enlightening, if not entirely uplifting. |




























So Rorie.
Um... I mean... Precious.
Side note: Ichi the Killer is amazing. It's a comedy, folks! (sort of)
and Mexico
I might actually watch it, write up a b-log.
Ichi the Killer is one of the most fucked up movies ever
