Netflix Instant Viewing Suggestions

Cold Cases started out slow, but has been getting better with every episode.

 

The first season of Magic School Bus is on Netflix.

You're welcome.

 

I just watched a documentary about Jeffrey Dahmer. I know, I know, but it wasn't like that. It wasn't that graphic, just enough. It consisted mostly of interviews with the detective who got Dahmer's confession, the medical examiner who pieced together the victims and one of his neighbors whom he had befriended. During the credits, they showed footage of that apartment building being torn down. It was a good way to end it.

The Jeffrey Dahmer Files, it was called.

 

Tabloid by one of the best documentary filmmakers of all time, Errol Morris. Not his best. Still, crazy story about a harmless loon, done well.

Yes, yes! I did like Orange is the New Black to a point.
I started NY Ink again, but the drama pisses me off, so I often skip to the tattoos. I was a little desperate.

They don't have Empire Records on Netflix, which makes me sad.

 

I agree about the 'Ink' shows. What a failure, they could be so much better.

 

The Captains Up Close (with William Shatner). Interviews with and about each of the Trek captains. First episode, Avery Brooks. The cat is intense.

 

I've watched two really good movies on Netflix in the last week.

The Central Park Five. An excellent documentary by Ken Burns about the five teens who were railroaded and imprisoned for the rape and assault of the 'central park jogger' in the early '80s.

Starlet. An idiosyncratic and charming little film about a young woman's friendship with an elderly woman in Los Angeles. It really exposed how pessimistic I am about 'good movies' - I sat through the whole thing this morning wondering when something bad was going to happen to one of these characters...but it doesn't. It is similar in spirit to Lars and the Real Girl, which I also loved. Bonuses: there is actual fucking in it, natural light photography full of flaws - love that.

I also re-watched two Whit Stillman movies this week: The Last Days of Disco and Metropolitan. I like his slow, talky style of moviemaking.

 

I would like to second mixedmedia 's suggestion of The Central Park Five.

 

Just finished watching The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975.

Footage of the Black Power Movement shot by a Swedish television crew over an eight year period. Never seen in the states before this film's release a few years ago.
This interview with Angela Davis has fully cemented her into my exclusive circle of heroes.

Highly, highly recommend. If you're an American and not watching this film, not informed about the black power movement, then shame on you.

 

I was searching something naughty in netflix and ended up with this wonderful movie.
