Netflix Instant: TV and Movie Picks


First, go out and see GODZILLA this weekend. Then, when you come back home, plop yourself down on the couch and watch this crazy combo of Netflix suggestions I have for you this week!






TERMS AND CONDITIONS MAY APPLY
This documentary is quite eye opening. No one I know actually reads all of the terms and conditions we are forced to sign. This film sheds light on all the actual things that are in those papers. There's no real answer to the problem, but it makes you think twice about mindlessly signing your name.


PAIN & GAIN
With this film, I think Michael Bay finally understands how eccentric of a director he is. He gets he's an extreme director that likes exaggerated shots, big explosions, and lots of action. I had no interest in seeing PAIN & GAIN, but my cohort kept hyping it up saying how Bay pretty much made a satire of his own directing style. And he was right. It's ridiculous, loud, and will make you want to gnaw on some raw meat when you're finished watching it. 


MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
This is one of my favorite Shakespeare plays, and one of the coolest directors working, Joss Whedon, adapted it to the big screen a couple years ago. I absolutely love this version, and Amy Acker's Beatrice is one of the best I've ever seen. Plus, you can't go wrong with Nathan Fillion as Dogberry.

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING Trailer Drops and Jonesy Gets a Shakespeare Boner



Damn, I love Shakespeare. His comedies are always so witty and charming. I enjoyed Kenneth Branaugh's version of MUCH ADO from 1993, and now I am stoked about Joss Whedon taking a stab at this story. I had listed this film as one of my most anticipated of this year, and after seeing this trailer, my opinion hasn't changed. In fact, I'm even more excited.

MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING is a complicated tale of love between Beatrice and Benedict, who would rather verbally out spar each other than admit their love to one another. It also follows young Hero and Claudio on their wedding day as complications arise from the villainous Don John.

Check it out!

Netflix Instant: Cool TV and Movie Picks



Happy Friday, dear friends. Jonesy here with my picks for the week. Again, like my picks usually are, they're very varied, but hopefully there's something for everyone here!


Not only is Mr. Gaffigan hilarious and spot on with his humor and commentary, he is also extremely nice in person. I saw him years and years ago and was lucky enough to meet him after the show. Super polite and surprisingly quiet. Now he has a new special on Instant that I cannot wait to watch. I hear his joke about McDonald's is side-splitting.


Hammer time! Not my absolute favorite of the individual Avengers films, but because of Tom Hiddleston's performance as Loki, it made me love it. 

Neil Patrick Harris and Nathan Fillion in a Joss Whedon musical production?? Yes please! Originally aired on a blog, hence the name, in episodes, but now is conveniently all in one place. They story is funny, the lyrics are smart, and who doesn't love watching our own national treasure, NPH, sing? That's what I thought.
