Netflix Instant: TV and Movie Picks

Spring Break is coming to an end for many of us, and in a couple of weeks, the big summer season of movies will begin. As always, my picks are totally random, but here's a few titles you can watch this weekend if your St. Patrick's Day festivities get rained out, which will apparently happen here in Dallas.

Enjoy!

VALKYRIE

When this film came out, all I remember was how everyone was complaining how Tom Cruise didn't have the appropriate accent for his character. However, it's been a few years, but this film actually surprised me with how tense and fascinating this true story was. It's worth a watch even if you aren't the biggest Cruise fan.

THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT

I love this film. I do. It scared the crap out of me when I saw it opening night. It's one of the few films to ever keep me awake at night. Laugh if you want, but before the social media age, this was a little gem of a film no one saw coming. And anyone that says they weren't scared after that final shot is full of lies. Lies! 

TRAILER PARK BOYS

This Canadian series was recommended to me by a friend of mine who wouldn't stop raving about how funny it was. It's a mockumentary about a group of trailer park residents. It had me at mockumentary…and Canada. Sounds like a good little series to end Spring Break with.
