[Weekly Netflix Fix] The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Catches Fire on Netflix
This week's Weekly Netflix Fix features a small cache of new additions to Netflix Instant; however, while the amount of new titles isn't many, Netflix is preaching quality over quantity this week with The Hunger Games: Catching Fire representing the major update for the week. Of course, the film's addition is tied to The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1's theatrical release next month, so it doesn't come with too much surprise. Also added this week is Josh Radnor's (How I Met Your Mother) directorial debut, Liberal Arts, which also stars soon-to-be Avengers: Age of Ultron star Elizabeth Olsen.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: The Green Legend Releasing on IMAX and Netflix on Same Day
Several years ago, the thought of a same-day home/theatrical release was seen as a bad business move by film studios because of the lower box office returns. After all, who wouldn't rather watch a film at home in their pajamas instead of going to an over-priced theater with a bunch of strangers? Actually... that doesn't sound that bad... Nevertheless, over the years, smaller studios have embraced the idea, simultaneously releasing films on VOD and limited theatrical rollouts. However, bigger studios haven't yet embraced the business model... until now.
In a press release sent out today, it was announced that The Weinstein Company is teaming up with Netflix to have a day-and-date release of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: The Green Legend on Netflix Instant and in IMAX theaters on August 28th, 2015. The sequel, directed by fight choreographer Yuen Woo-Ping (The Matrix), will see Michelle Yeoh returning and Donnie Yen joining the cast. The film will be based on Wang Dulu's novel Iron Knight, Silver Vase, the fifth in his Cane-Iron Pentalogy series.
Could this be the first step towards major film studios embracing the practice? Probably not, but it'll certainly set the precedence for other studios to follow. Netflix has four other similar deals in the works for the future, so we'll definitely see whether the experiment works out. One thing is clear: Having the free (for Netflix subscribers) option to watch brand new films at home on its release will be an amazing option for those lazy weekends.

[Weekly Netflix Fix] How I Met Your Mother: Season 9, The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete
After nine long years, How I Met Your Mother reached its finale earlier this year. While the notorious ending was met with almost widespread dislike (I was neutral to it), you can't help but want to re-watch the amazing show's final season and see how Ted and the Mother first met. After all, Cristin Milioti is just so beautiful... Another fine addition to the new batch of Netflix Instant titles is The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete, directed by Soul Food and Men of Honor director (and Chicagoan!) George Tillman, Jr. The film is about a 14-year-old kid, Mister, in New York taking care of his 9-year-old friend, Pete, during a New York summer after Mister's Mom (Jennifer Hudson) is arrested by the cops for possession. It's heartbreaking, engaging, and one of the best films I've seen on Netflix this year.
