This Week On Netflix Instant Watch (4/23-4/30)

Gonna divide this into three sections: Good or at best "normal" movies, terrible movies you and your friends can drunkenly riff on, and TV show series.

NOTE: I haven't watched most of what I'm listing, these are more notable things that are on IW and were added in the past week.

Normal Movies
Stagecoach - A classic western.

Fargo - Do I need to explain this? If you haven't seen it, see it.

It Might Get Loud - A documentary about three musicians. I hear most of it is really good. It was in theaters last year.

Bad Movies
The Gay Bed & Breakfast Of Terror - I had the pleasure of watching this with some friends and it is awful. One of the worst movies I've seen. It covers just about every gay stereotype and every conservative Christian stereotype (right down to having pictures of GW Bush and his cabinet next to Jesus), makes no sense in parts, and in the end, the only two people left alive, who are gay, become straight and continue to kill gays. It's pretty over the top, and the actors look like they never kissed anyone of the same gender before filming. I'm sure it was made in jest, and if it wasn't, then I wonder what audience this was made for. Not humans, at any rate.

The Glimmer Man - Do you like Damon Wayans? Do you like Steven Segal? No? Well too bad. This is a hilariously bad action movie, with Segal still trying to pull the Bhuddist pacifist act but not enough to kill thugs with razorblades hidden in credit cards. Damon Wayans is the forced partner, who has a love for Casablanca and... oh who am I kidding, you've seen this cookie-cutter plot a million times. It's pretty funny though.

TV Shows
Party Down: Season 2 - Party Down is a great show that's unfortunately on its way to being canceled. They've been putting up the new episodes on Netflix soon after they air on TV. So while there's only one episode here, there's more to come. In the meantime, watch Party Down season 1, which is also on instant watch.

1 comment:

  1. That is too bad party down is being cancelled. Hopefully the actors won't have to work as caterers in real life. (Except Jane Lynch of course, she'll have to go back to coaching cheerleading)
