I really do wish all the movie rental places would stop spamming me. I have said it before and I’ll say it again: I’m sold on Netflix. Don’t ask me to change.
I started out with the least expensive rental agreement. Then I went to the next…. and now I really, really, really want the Netflix Player.
Yes, Netflix is that good.
The last movie I rented was one that should have gotten more notice. I have actually seen it so many times I can almost recite the whole movie. What was it? It was a John Cusack movie. It had Paul Newman in it. It had Laura Dern in it. It had Bonnie Bedelia in it.
You haven’t seen “Fat Man and Little Boy”? Rent movies from Netflix! It is a memorable account of the story of the invention of the nuclear bomb by J. Robert Oppenheimer’s team of scientists at Los Alamos. Who says you can’t make a documentary fascinating?
My husband rented “Jay and Silent Bob.” Not my cup of tea. Not a problem. Netflix has a feature that allows you to create two separate viewing lists. It would be great for kids because the “owner” controls the second list.
I happen to be a big fan of the “watch instantly” feature. Last night, instead of watching “Jay and Silent Bob” or television I am not interested in, I watched Fraulein, the story of three women coming to terms with the lives they left behind in Yugoslavia.
Yes, I happen to like foreign movies — a lot. And I don’t mind subtitles. I find it intriguing to watch movies filmed on location where I get to see what their restaurants are like, their sidewalks, their cars, the way they decorate their homes.
Fraulein was a heartwarming story with three endings. I thought the movie was over, and had a happy ending. But there was more. I thought the second ending was also happy. But there was more… and you’ll just have to watch it to experience the actual ending!
