Netflix Now: Dead Teenager Edition

This week Netflix brings us Battle Royale. I don't know if anything else in the collection is interesting, but it doesn't matter because you should be watching Battle Royale. Hit the jump for Battle Royale! Don't hit it too hard, though, or you might run into Battle Royale 2.   more

Netflix Now: Misleading Title Edition

Netflix this week is all about building up expectations and shooting them down again, possibly to collect your inevitable tears in a glass jar for safe-keeping. If you just can't wait until this Friday, you can fill the void ...   more

Netflix Now: 5 O'Clock Somewhere Edition

There are a few solid additions this week and a lot more horrible ones. This week brings us Thor and Adventureland, neither of which I was particularly fond of in theaters but was drunk enough to completely forget. Maybe they...   more

Netflix Now: Foil Hat Edition

Did you want to know more about UFO sightings and alien abductions? Do you believe that the spawn of Satan is walking the earth, and need a film full of "facts" to back it up to all those people calling you crazy? Maybe you w...   more

Netflix Now: Punkin' Chunkin' Edition

Sometimes, there's nothing good on Netflix. That time is often. We've all been there: eyes aglow, hopeful for the new selection, and nothing awaits us but disappointment and the general bedtime routine of crying during mastur...   more

Netflix: Sex, Sex, and Sex Edition

Normally Netflix is pretty terrible at describing their selections, but this week, they hit gold. The addition of Dawson's Creek includes this wonderful description: This thought-provoking nighttime soap about a group of clo...   more

Netflix Now: Hot Dog Gosling Edition

There are some musician biopics, a couple of concerts, and a few indie movies on Netflix this week, but none of that matters. Drive is on Netflix. That's what you should be watching. Hit the jump for Drive!   more

Netflix Now: Curious Edition

I'm not sure what's up with Netflix this week. I'd be lying if I said the selection wasn't interesting, but it's not for the reasons you may have hoped. The only thing that really stands out as something well-worth one's time...   more

Netflix Now: Stripper Murder Edition

This week brings a huge selection, and while a large chunk of it is drivel, there are plenty of legitimately interesting movies in there to make up for the filler content. The kids might enjoy The Borrowers and Stuart Little,...   more

Netflix Now: Truly Outrageous Pterodactyl Edition

Netflix isn't too terrible this week, and there are a fair amount of things to choose from. In the so-bad-it's-good-when-drunk category, we have The Minis, which is about Dennis Rodman helping a group of little people play ba...   more

Netflix CEO rewards self for turbulent year

In an SEC filing today, Netflix revealed that its CEO, Reed Hastings, had his salary cut from $519,231 in 2010 to a paltry half-million in 2011. If, like me, you find yourself instantly overcome with empathetic sorrow an...   more

Netflix Now: Musical Edition

"Man," you say, "if only I had some way to listen to old concerts on a service I already have for hours on end!" Well, it's strange that you have a Netflix subscription and haven't heard of YouTube, but there's certainly a so...   more

Netflix Now: American Banana Edition

That's it. Netflix has gone too far. Not only is there not a lot to offer this week, but the selection available is horrible. You know why? Because it has Bananas in Pyjamas. Yes, you read that right. Not Bananas in Pajamas, ...   more

Netflix Now: My Little Pet Sematary

Netflix apparently felt a bit bad about last week, because not only are there a ton of new entries, but there are plenty of good ones. Among the interesting movie entries are Pet Sematary, Christmas horror movies Saint Nick a...   more

Netflix Now: Nothing Good Edition

I'm going to save you some time and let you know that there's nothing good on Netflix this week. Seriously. There are a couple of documentaries on there that might be interesting if you've worn out your entire queue, but for the most part, you're better off watching...well, anything else, really. Seriously, I don't know what to talk about this week. Hit the jump for uninteresting movies!   more

Netflix Now: TED Talks to Sarah Palin Edition

I don't know who this Ted guy is or why he capitalizes his entire name, but he certainly seems to talk a lot. Considering the amount of different topics he covers, I can only imagine that he's related to Ted Mosby. Way to dom...   more

Netflix Now: Numeric Edition

I think the folks at Netflix just looked at the top of their alphabetical pile this week and said, "Yeah, some of these will do." Over a quarter of the titles this week start with numbers. Sure, there are only fifteen new cho...   more

Netflix Now: Ugly Duckling Edition

Netflix is like that friend that's dieting and wants you to do it, too, so they're only offering a tiny amount of new material this week and you'll totally want more once you're finished. Ordering dessert is going to get you ...   more
