Netflix Instant: TV and Movie Picks


It's quite the monsoon down here in Texas. It's almost June, and summer seems like it's never coming. So, if you're like us and you're trapped in your house because of flash floods, here are some great picks for you to enjoy and binge on.





This is a Netflix documentary series that goes behind famous chef's and their kitchens from around the globe. All the kitchens are one of the top restaurants in the world, and each episode explores not only their food, but the chef's inspiration and how they became who they are. A great watch for any foodie.



INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS
One of Tarantino's greatest films is now at our bloody fingertips. Even if you feel the film is a little long, there's so much to appreciate and love. From Christof Waltz's terrifying performance to the bar scene, which is one of the best written scenes in recent memory, makes this film rewatchable.



NO NO: A DOCKUMENTARY
I saw this last year at DIFF and was fascinated by the story of Dock Ellis and his famous no-hitter game. Oh yes, and he pitched it while high on LSD, or so the story goes. It's a great film not only for sports fans, but for anyone who enjoys great storytelling.

Most Anticipated Films of the 2014 Dallas International Film Festival- Jonesy's Take



We are revving up for our coverage of The 2014 Dallas International Film Festival (DIFF) this week. One of the best aspects of this festival is how it's (mostly) contained at one location, The Angelika in Mockingbird Station, which makes it easy to jump from film to film and be able to mingle with festival goers between movies. Even though I pick out a few films which I am looking forward to, I'm always excited for the films that I'll see which will completely surprise me.

One set of films I did not list were the shorts. Last year I ended up seeing the documentary shorts for the first time, and I plan on making that a yearly occurrence. Plus, you can never go wrong with the midnight shorts block. But for my anticipated films, I have two features and (of course) mostly documentaries.

Keep checking back here all week and next for our coverage of films and interviews with filmmakers!

Not onto my most anticipated films.
