Netflix Instant TV and Movie Picks- Shame List Edition

We all have them. Those films that have slipped through your viewing cracks that when brought up in conversation, you're subjected to many minutes of shame because, "What do you MEAN you haven't seen [insert film here]?!"

There are plenty on my list, but unfortunately not all of them are on Instant yet. However, I did find three on my list that I've heard, multiple times, that I need to see like yesterday. So, here they are, and yes, you are free to scoff and laugh at my shame.

The Redband EVIL DEAD is NSFW or Your Weak Stomach

Confession...I've never seen the original EVIL DEAD or the sequel. I have however seen ARMY OF DARKNESS, which I hear is tonally completely different than the other two. I know. Shame on me. I can hear you scorn and head shaking through my screen right now. It's in my Netflix queue; I swear.

Of course, with any cult classic, you always need to remake at some point. Thankfully with this series, Sam Raimi is back as producer and writer. Judging from this trailer, this will be a film is not for the faint of heart.

Here's the synopsis via ShockTillYouDrop.com:

The film follows five twenty-something friends who become holed up in a remote cabin where they discover a Book Of The Dead. An archaeologist's tape recording reveals that the ancient text was discovered among the Khandarian ruins of a Sumerian civilization. Playing the taped incantations, the youths unwittingly summon up dormant demons living in the nearby woods, which possess the youngsters in succession until only one is left intact to fight for survival.

OZ: THE GREAT AND POWERFUL Full Trailer Drops a House on Your Head

Ever since the first trailer for OZ: THE GREAT AND POWERFUL, I've been on the fence. The teaser looked too cheesy, and it gave off too much of an ALICE IN WONDERLAND vibe. However, my thoughts kept going back and forth because of the director, Sam Raimi, and the pretty solid cast. I'm still not completely sold on the film, but with the full trailer now online, I have a bit more faith than before.

Check it out after the break.

EVIL DEAD Red Band Trailer!

After many on again and off again news about an EVIL DEAD remake, producers Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi finally pushed the project through. Raimi has said that the similarities to the original will stop at a group of teenagers going to a cabin in the woods.

Just in time for Halloween, the blood and NSFW red band trailer has dropped. And it's pretty gory.

OZ: THE GREAT AND POWERFUL Teaser Drops!

Unfortunately, we are not at Comic-Con this year, but thankfully between twitter and YouTube, it can almost feel like we're right in the midst of nerds fighting for swag and standing for hours in line for Hall H.

One great thing that always comes out of Comic-Con are the trailers. Studios use this con to promote the hell out of all their big releases. One of the first trailers to come out is for Sam Raimi's OZ: THE GREAT AND POWERFUL. OZ is based on the book by L. Frank Baum which is a prequel to The Wizard of Oz, which we all know and hold dear to our hearts.
