Oh man! I remember seeing a trailer for The American Astronaut ages ago at a Madstone Theater (if anyone remembers that awesome, short-lived arthouse chain). I really wanted to see it but missed it during its brief engagement...

The state of The Onion is strong. My favorite unused Onion headline was something like: "Man Uses Spork as Knife." You may now applaud. Whereas last week's installment of Netflix Now featured an overwhelming deluge of titles ...

Lots of titles showed up on Netflix Watch Instantly since last week: 201 by my count. Three of them are quintessential 1980s movies: Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Trading Places, and Scrooged. If you haven't seen any of these mov...

Super Bowl XLVII is a few days away, meaning that fairweather football fans like myself have something to watch this weekend (even if it's just for the commercials and high-priced movie ads). As a guy raised in the Bay Area, ...

Hey everyone, did you know that Dredd made a ton of money in home video sales despite tanking in the box office? Although that means diddly squat to the big cheeses who could make a sequel (since box office > home video), ...

Remember how I kept talking up how great Butter seemed last week? Turns out it wasn't so great, and that makes me sad. I mean, if I can't look forward to cute film about butter carving, then what can I look forward to? Oh wel...

It's my first shot at one of these (since Hubert is out for a few weeks), so I'll keep it simple and we can all get back to watching awesome Netflix stuff. Lately I just went and saw all seven seasons of How I Met You Mother,...

You spent an entire afternoon writing your New Year's Resolutions and most of you have already broken them. It's okay, though. Just buy looser pants and enjoy all the cheese you want like proper human beings. If you're into s...

You may have noticed a problem with Netflix's Watch Instantly on Christmas Eve. So did millions of others. Netflix experienced a streaming outage throughout the United States, Canada, and Latin America that lasted from Christ...

Listen, the world isn't going to end. We're going to be okay. People put too much faith in ancient hunky firemen calendars. But if you believe in the Mayan doomsday stuff, give me your money right now because Nostradamus said...

Well folks, it's that weekend when everyone you know is throwing an early Xmas party of some kind. By Sunday morning as the sun begins to lighten the winter sky, you'll likely have three kinds of nog in your system, five kind...

With the Disney/Netflix streaming deal, I suppose this could have been a Disney edition of Netflix Now. But instead, today's installment commemorates yesterday's hoax that Bill Murray called Harold Ramis to accept a role in G...

While there aren't as many new things on Netflix Instant this week as there were last week, there's some good stuff to check out. The biggest additions are Martin Scorsese's Hugo, Tom Hooper's The King's Speech, and Sarah Pol...

Netflix Now is going to help you avoid talking to your parents during Thanksgiving dinner. It'll also get you out of arguments with that dumdum uncle who always forwards those freakin' emails. (Despite the title, there is no ...

This is straight-up awesome. I don't know if any of you remember our review of Karate-Robo Zaborgar, but it's now all up on Netflix Instant. As a big dork for things kaiju and tokusatsu, I am all over this movie this weekend....

I don't remember Harriet the Spy being a terribly good movie, but its childlike sense of espionage was absolutely gripping as a kid. The house we rented at the time had a cinderblock wall with a few blocks jutting out at a pe...

Netflix brings us a fine variety of television this week. First off, there's Sherlock! If you haven't seen Sherlock yet, now you have no excuse. It's absolutely fantastic, and both seasons are up. Completely unrelated, there'...

This is the moment we've all been waiting for. The FP has hit Netflix instant. The world may never be the same. In case you haven't heard of The FP, either from our awesome LA screening earlier this year or our contest or our...

Is this something everyone else was aware of? If so, how could you let this happen!? What is the world coming to? We're a stone's throw away from pestilence and boiling, bloody seas. Mark my words. So this week seems to be pr...
