Netflix:

So I finally have taken the plunge. Even though I knew about Netflix in its relative infancy through friends, I never once thought of signing up. Why rent, I thought when you can just buy the discs and keep them forever? Well, that's all well and good for films I adore and will watch
over and over but what I have done in the last few years is to accumulate a few discs here and there that I love and a whole ton of average discs and crap.

After my 31 Days of Film experiment I found myself a bit put off of watching movies for a while. This, combined with other life events, lead to me no longer buying any DVDs. While I did clear the backlog of a few titles, I unfortunately have lapsed in my bookkeeping and I'm not really
certain as to my backlog. What's worse is that I have not written anything on my blog in months. So to rectify these two events I have signed up for Netflix and have added tons of obscure (mostly foreign and/or silent) films to my queue. So after receiving and watching my
third disc, The Passion of Joan of Arc, I feel I can now start writing on some of the films and shows I have watched in the previous months. So stay tuned faithful readers and here's a taste of some reviews that are in the near future:

Cinema Europe: The Other Hollywood
Ikiru
Superman: Doomsday
Angels and Insects
The Oyster Princess
and more!
