Another month, and you know what that means. For millions of us renters, it means the rent check is due. It also means Netflix is about to boot off a bunch of movies and television seasons. Are there any particular titles I’d recommend you watch before it’s too late?
Europa Report. It’s a slow-burn sci-fi movie that plays around with an element of horror. Not a slasher, it goes after your psyche instead, like a Hitchcock thriller. It’s also only 97 minutes long, so it’s a quick watch.
Blade Runner: The Final Cut is another. And I used to watch Silverado, a Western with Kevin Costner and Danny Glover, an awful lot. And, uh, Waterworld is fun. Mostly because Dennis Hopper has gone full-blown Dennis Hopper in it. Don’t worry that it’s not the director’s cut. I’ve seen it, and I think the theatrical cut is better, even if it did wallop Costner’s career.
Watch ’em here while you still have the chance.
