Netflix Streaming: Coming & Going

Mike — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 21:06:04 +0000

Not a whole lot of movement to and from the streaming service this week, so we have a combined post.

Ball of Fire (1/16): Gary Cooper plays a serious but lovable English professor working with his colleagues on a dictionary of American slang. When a red-hot nightclub singer (Barbara Stanwyck) on the run [...]

Netflix: Coming & Going

Mike — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 17:38:34 +0000

Just a few titles coming and going this week.

Newly arrived to the Netflix streaming service are:

Rollerball: In the future, global megacorporations maintain their power by channeling and releasing human hostility through rollerball — an anything-goes, worldwide sport designed to show the forcibly subdued populace that individualism is futile. (This is the [...]

Netflix – Coming & Going

I only have two new titles to tell you about this week: Fawlty Towers is back after–what–a month? Make up your mind, Netflix!

I’m looking forward to seeing Best Worst Movie, and have been since Christian Toto wrote his review of it. It’s a documentary about what some claim is the worst movie ever [...]

A Very Kriskey Christmas

We had a few people over this year who weren’t members of the clan. One of them remarked when he came in that he thought he could smell gunpowder.

“Not us,” I said with a smile. “Guns are for Easter!”

Coming Distractions

Mike — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 20:40:09 +0000

The new titles added to Netflix streaming in the last week don’t make up for what’s being taken away, but there are a few good ones here.

Scarface: Al Pacino chews scenery as Cuban refugee Tony Montana, who becomes a Florida drug kingpin but makes the fatal mistake of “getting high on his own [...]

Leaving Soon

Mike — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 19:39:51 +0000

A lot of good stuff will be leaving at the end of the month, predominantly in the classic (and newly classic) British television category:

Once Upon a Time in the West (11/23): This Sergio Leone classic, a tribute to Hollywood Westerns, stars Henry Fonda as Frank, a deft gunslinger hired by the powerful owner [...]
