One from the Vault: ‘Hot Shots! Part Deux’
With Jim Abrahams and an all-star cast, how could you go wrong? In this week’s dig through the Netflix Vault, we wonder why only ‘Hot Shots! Part Deux’ is streaming in HD, but not its slightly funnier prequel. Here comes some prim...
The Netflix Stream: Week of December 11th, 2011
Ack! Netflix loses more ‘MST3K’ this week, and that’s a hard thing to deal with. On the plus side, We’ve got plenty of crappy Christmas specials to fill out the season, and a pretty important documentary to boot.
One from the Vault: ‘Machete Maidens Unleashed!’
Warning: This movie contains blood, breasts and beasts – the all-important “three Bs” of the slasher/exploitation/grindhouse genre. This fairly new yet un-Blu-ified documentary explores what Roger Corman and other “B” movie pionee...
The Netflix Stream: Week of December 4th, 2011
To quote the late, great Stone Cold Steve Austin: “Oh hell yeah!” We lose nothing from the Netflix stream this week. Well, to be entirely accurate, we lose a dozen movies that aren’t worth mentioning, unless you really want to see...

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.
The Netflix Stream: Week of November 13th, 2011
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’
Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin’, On this, our wedding day. Do not forsake me, oh, my darlin’, Wait; wait alone. I do not know what fate awaits me. I only know I must be brave. For I must face a man who hates me, Or lie a coward,...
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...
