Weekly Netflix Fix

[Weekly Netflix Fix] James Bond Highlights New Netflix Additions

I've never seen a James Bond film. I'm not necessarily proud of it, but it's definitely not something I don't mind being able to say with confidence. The closest I've gotten to a Bond film (outside of the general writing/reporting about the latest Bond films) was playing Goldfinger on my cousin's N64 when we were younger. It's not that I have anything against the Daniel Craigs, Pierce Brosnans, and Roger Moores of the world, it's just one of those things that needlessly flies outside of your radar. By this point, it's been almost 28 years, so I might as well continue my life being the only person in the film industry to have never seen James Bond. Oh well.

However, if you're in the same boat and ready to swim for the shore, a plethora of Bond films were recently added to Netflix Instant to coincide with this morning's announcement of Bond 24 AKA Spectre. Outside of Bond are some amazing films that have returned to Netflix Instant, including the Muhammad Ali biopic Ali, Almost Famous, American Beauty, the Friday the 13th series, and many more.

[Weekly Netflix Fix] Early Thanksgiving Update

With Thanksgiving tomorrow, we decided to push this week's Weekly Netflix Fix up a day so all of you will know all of the up-to-date films and shows to prepare while with family. The biggest title to be added is Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. While I still haven't watched an episode, I'll probably spend my Thanksgiving going through the first season to see what all the hype is about. The other recommendation for this week is Joe Swanberg's indie film, Happy Christmas, starring Swanberg himself and Anna Kendrick. You can read more of my thoughts on Happy Christmas in my full review of the film here.

[Weekly Netflix Fix] The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari

The final Weekly Netflix Fix post before Thanksgiving is now upon us. While the update isn't as substantial as I was hoping it would be, two titles have been added that are worth checking out. The first is David Ayer's 2014 film Sabotage, which sees Arnold Schwarzenegger returning into a lead action role. While the film wasn't as well received as Ayer's other 2014 film, Fury, it still holds entertainment value. Who can resits Schwarzenegger returning to his action roots in this day and age? The other notable film is the German Expressionist silent horror, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. The film is noted for its use of lights and shadows to invoke emotion and abstract angles and shapes to create atmosphere, but also serving as one of the first real horror films in cinema.
