Surplus Cats

The Netflixing in our home is pretty ridiculous. My account is 4-at-a-time and D’s is 8-at-a-time. We’re never lacking in movies to watch, that’s for sure.

Here’s a quick and dirty rundown of the past two weeks in movies:

• Waxwork – this was funny because Don kept saying “I remembered this being better!”
• Waxwork II – I enjoyed the Bruce Campbell “Haunting” bit.
• Masters of Horror: Dario Argento’s Pelts – there should be more raccoons in horror movies.
• The Mad Doctor of Blood Island – I am pretty sure this has the same exact ceremonial dance scene as Brides of Blood.
• Beast of Blood – kept waiting for the same dance scene.
• The Machine Girl – great concept, amazing fight scenes, totally sick.
• Tokyo Gore Police – blood-gushing amputated feet as jet pack!
• The Attic Expeditions – like Cemetery Man, I feel this would’ve been better when I was a teenager.
• Hour of the Wolf – I liked this so much more than Bergmen’s Persona.
• Werewolf of London – the drunk ladies take this from great to awesome.

I tried out the Netflix Watch Instantly thing the other night. I watched the first episode of Forever Knight (1992). I liked the viewer and think this would be even better if I had a cable to connect my macbook to my HDTV. Should look into that! Forever Knight was entertaining enough that I’d go ahead and watch the next few episodes. I wasn’t big on Buffy the first season, but my coworkers at the video store assured me that by the third season I would be completely hooked. I’ll give this a similar stab.

I wish Netflix would make an rss feed of your ratings available. That would make a great WordPress widget, wouldn’t it?

Coming up I’ve got:

• Tombs of the Blind Dead (1973)
• God Told Me To  (1976)
• My Man Godfrey (1936)
• Double Indemnity (1944)

Music I’m enjoying lately:

• Teru’ah – in high school I hung out with the John half of this duo. I love it when my talented friends continue to increase their excellence.
