DVDs: Bride and Prejudice: A Bollywood take on Austen’s Pride and Prejudice with lots of dancing and singing. Austen is a perfect fit for an Indian make over, and I think I prefer it to the monsterification which is the latest trend for Austen’s work. It’s a definite improvement on the Joe Wright – Keira [...]

Since my monthly Netflix payment is going up, and I need a push to review the stuff I’ve seen I figure that a monthly review is a good way of making sure I am still getting value for money from Netflix. DVDs: Nights in Rodanthe – Awful, awful film. It’s all about “old” people finding [...]
Why I (still) love Netflix
Posted: 07/18/2011 in films, televisionTags: Apple TV, films, netflix, netflix instant, Netflix price increase, No Reservations, star trek, Top Shot, tv

The Killing I haven’t seen the original Danish series that AMC’s The Killing is based on but given the amount of buzz it got when it aired in the UK earlier this year I am guessing it’s better than the lackluster adaptation that just finished airing over here. I’m holding out ordering it from Amazon.co.uk [...]

It speaks volumes to the state of my life that I was excited to discovered that ‘New in Town’ was available through Netflix Instant. A new chick flick – praise the gods and pass the ambrosia. Who cares if it is any good, it’s a fairly recent movie and given that I am currently giving [...]

It’s the 4th of July weekend and I intend to do as little as humanly possible because it is hotter than Hades. That being said my plans for the weekend: Only eat meat on the bone Read ‘The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo’ in air-conditioned cafes around the city Sleep late Drink my body weight [...]
