Watching this now on Netflix
This chilling documentary examines the growing phenomenon of spree killings in the United States. The film explores the basic question of what brings a seemingly normal person to the point of committing mass murder.
“In this documentary, filmmakers Andrew James and Joshua Ligairi explore the rise and fall of Cleanflicks, a movie rental company that edited offensive material out of Hollywood films to produce unauthorized “clean” versions for its customers.”
In my opinion, Hollywood SHOULD make edited versions of their movies on DVD. It would automatically open up a wider audience, and allow people to watch good movies with their kids, parents, and more.
Watching this now. I’ve seen the first and second seasons, but I think there’s a third season out now, which I haven’t seen any of due to not having full cable…but I have Netflix streaming! My girlfriend hasn’t seen the show, so that’s why I’m re-watching episodes I’ve already seen.
I’m finding all kinds of good documentaries on Netflix for my Instant Queue. The Horse Boy is about a kid with autism who seems to calm down when he’s on a horse. His parents decide to take him on a horseback adventure to visit Mongolian shamans when other therapies are not successful.
When conventional therapies fail to help their autistic son, Rupert and Kristin Isaacson travel with Rowan to Mongolia in the hopes that a combination of traditional shamanic healing and horseback riding will benefit him. Director Michel O. Scott’s documentary juxtaposes scenes of the family at home in Texas with their journey on horseback across the breathtaking Mongolian countryside in search of reindeer herders and a powerful shaman.

Filmmaker Taggart Siegel paints a fascinating portrait of a man who refused to yield. By transforming his farm into an experimental haven in the late 1960s, John Peterson attracted hundreds of artists, hippies and other political radicals. But when the agriculture crisis of the late 1980s led to the farm’s eventual collapse — and his neighbors publicly branded him a devil worshipper — most locals thought he’d call it quits. They were wrong.

Stopping in Florida, Alaska and numerous points in between, this fascinating program explores humans’ diverse methods for honoring the departed — and the myriad ways in which graveyards relate to modern culture.
My girlfriend is currently in bed watching Celebrity Rehab season 4 on Netflix, streaming it on the Wii. I’m here at the laptop, watching it with her. What a trip. Eric Roberts is such a puss. Dude is having “cannabis withdrawals” and crying all the time. Seriously? Keisha Coles mom is about to kick everyones ass. Evidently she is a crackhead. I haven’t figured out who the big fat gay dude is yet, but he just now got sent to his room by the “Shelly” chick who works there. I’m pretty sure Shelly did the crack and heroins in the past, but she’s clean now and works at the rehab place. I’m going to bed.
Currently watching EVERY episode of Trailer Park Boys on Netflix. Funny stuffs.
When Netflix started up more than 10 years ago, its sales pitch was pretty simple: Hey, subscribe to us, and we’ll mail you DVDs that you can then mail back to us without worrying about any late fees. But as the rental market moves toward online and on-demand models, Netflix’s iconic red envelopes may eventually become as antiquated as VHS tapes. Beefing up their streaming business, Netflix has predicted…

I just got a movie in the mail called The Education of Charlie Banks. When I saw that Fred Durst was the director of the movie, I was skeptical, but I have to admit, it was a damn good movie, and Fred did a great job of making the film. Here is what NETFLIX says about the movie:
Years after Charlie (Jesse Eisenberg) fingers Mick (Jason Ritter) for a brutal assault, Mick shows up at Charlie’s university and insinuates himself into college life. As Mick audits classes, sleeps with Charlie’s dream girl and ponders how his life might have been different, Charlie anxiously wonders whether Mick knows he ratted him out. Limp Bizkit front man Fred Durst’s directorial debut, this powerful drama co-stars Chris Marquette.
Purely by coincidence, I watched two movies about crooked cops this week. I rented Righteous Kill (Robert DeNiro & Al Pacino) just because it had DeNiro & Pacino in it. I thought it was a pretty damn good movie too. I actually didn’t see the twist coming.
Pride and Glory (Edward Norton & Colin Farrell) wasn’t a bad movie either, but was more straightforward and predictable.
Note: Do not piss off cops.
Night Of The White Pants. For some reason, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.
