Netflix Instant TV and Movie Picks

I found myself at a loss a little bit this week. With the Oscars taking up most of the this year, it's tough to get out of that mindset all of a sudden. But thankfully, that season is over, and now is the time to catch up on films that you may have missed in years past. 

LINCOLN Review

LINCOLN

Directed by: Steven Spielberg

Written by: Tony Kushner and Doris Kearn Goodwin

Starring: Daniel Day-Lewis, Sally Field, David  Strathairn, Tommy Lee Jones, John Hawkes, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Synopsis: Oh, you know, just the story one of the most important pieces of legislation in this nation's history. No big deal.

This Daniel Day-Lewis Abraham Lincoln picture makes ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER look like a cheap imitation.

I think my headline says it all. Simply put, he looks amazing. This is the first official picture we've received from the upcoming Steven Spielberg LINCOLN movie courtesy of EW. Considering that Daniel Day-Lewis' work is the reason why this blog has a name, it's needless to say that I'm pretty pumped for this movie.

LINCOLN comes out on November 16, 2012. It is directed by Steven Spielberg and stars Daniel Day-Lewis, Sally Field, Jackie Earl Haley, Tommy Lee Jones, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Sweet Intimidating Mustaches! Daniel Day Lewis in Zack Snyder's Superman?

There are actors and then there's Daniel Day-Lewis. The man has had an amazing career full of critically acclaimed works, and a great ability to grow an awesome mustache and recited the line that inspired the name of this blog. The big complaint about him is how picky he can be with his roles. I believe my diminutive partner has claimed he could be blamed of picking only Oscar Bait role, which I couldn't defend because on the surface it seems pretty true.

But, according to Badass Digest and Moviehole, he is being considered for a role in the upcoming Superman movie by director Zack Snyder. I'd rather not speculate, because frankly, I'm not that saavy, but I really like BAD's prediction of Day-Lewis playing Superman's dad Jor-El. I would say Jonathan "Pa" Kent, if Kevin Costner wasn't rumored to be playing him already. At this point it's anyone's guess. I will say that as a great fan of the man, I hope Day-Lewis starts taking more high profile and less "artsy" roles all the time. I'd love to see him in a straight up comedy (I know, I know wishful thinking.) Who else do you guys think he could play apart from Jor-El or Jonathan "Pa" Kent?
