The midway point for the month usually means some quality additions to Netflix Instant, and this week’s new additions definitely don’t disappoint. Finally, after a two year wait, I’ll finally be able to see The Master, directed by Paul Thomas Anderson and starring Joaquin Phoenix and Philip Seymour Hoffman, a drama that makes very analogous connections to Scientology. The film attained three Oscar nominations for Best Actor (Phoenix), Best Supporting Actor (Hoffman), and Best Supporting Actress (Amy Adams), so the performances in the film should be amazing. Also included this week is the hard sci-fi documentary, Particle Fever, which Mackenzie reviewed not too long ago, my personal choice for Best Documentary Feature of 2013 in The Act of Killing: The Director’s Cut, and the Netflix-exclusive documentary The Battered Bastards of Baseball about Bing Russell’s run as owner of the independently-run Class A baseball team, the Portland Mavericks.
