The Netflix Stream: Week of November 27th, 2011
Oh boy, is it a bad week to be me. Things that I love are leaving Netflix, and not much new is coming in return. A few of my go-to movies are off the stream, which is just plain upsetting.

One from the Vault: ‘Dutch’
Early last week, a friend of mine mused, “Where the heck are the Thanksgiving movies this year?” Good question. None of the recent theatrical releases have a Thanksgiving theme that I can see. What about streaming? The choices the...
The Netflix Stream: Week of November 20th, 2011
There isn’t a lot of movement on Netflix this week, but some cool things are on the way, including one of those essential Christmas movies and everybody’s favorite film about clowns with guns.
One from the Vault: ‘Johnny Dangerously’
This week’s flick comes pretty close to Al Capone’s vault. It’s a lost classic, the likes no Blu-ray player has ever seen, and one of the final funny performances of a funny man that I miss in funny roles.

Some weeks, Netflix goes through massive content changes, forcing us to add and subtract things from our queues to reflect the new landscape. Then there are weeks like this one, with barely any changes worth talking about. I guess...
One from the Vault: ‘High Noon’

One from the Vault: ‘Hawaii Five-O’
The show aired for twelve seasons, a seriously respectable run. Its revival attempt has been positively received and is most of the way through a second season. Its theme song is known the world over (and was even hilariously conf...

Last week was pretty devastating, but Netflix makes up for it this week by penning a new deal with ABC/Disney that brings plenty of new content. The deal also returns some of the stuff we’ve been missing, including the show ‘Lost’...
One from the Vault: ‘The Howling’
It’s Halloween and you probably haven’t seen a good werewolf movie in a long while, have you? Prefer werewolves with more bite and less than 28 rippling abs? Sure you do. In that case, it’s time to pop the corn, dim the lights, fi...
The Netflix Stream: Week of October 23rd, 2011
At the end of the month, things always look dire on Netflix streaming. We see a lot of great stuff leaving the stream, yet we won’t find out what’s new until the beginning of November. There’s practically nothing good being added ...
One from the Vault: ‘Little Shop of Horrors’
I have two standard films that I put on in the background when I’m making my annual Halloween costume. The first is ‘Army of Darkness’, and the second is ‘Little Shop of Horrors’. I am dying for a Blu-ray version of ‘Little Shop’....

We’re losing a few titles of value from the Netflix stream this week and gaining a few. You’ll be happy to note that we’re getting some stuff that’s great for Halloween. Well, you’ll be happy to note that – and I expect that you h...
