Thirteen Movies on my Netflix Queue


When I’m not reading a book or banging my head against my desk ’cause I’m in the middle of a WIP and can’t find that word, I lay on the couch and watch movies. I love movies. I love horror films, comedies, foreign films, hella old films, cartoons… and damn, I love indy films. There are certain movies I can’t catch while they’re still in the theater because they’re usually limited release and only play in LA and New York (damn it!)… oh and movies I want to watch, but… uh… am embarrassed to get in line for (like some dumb Will Ferrell movie) and that’s why Netflix is… in my opinion… the best fucking thing to ever happen to me. I mean, next to Samhain buying Skin to Skin and all. Man, those guys are awesome. Anyway… here are the first 13 movies on my Netflix queue this week.

1. Curse of the Golden Flower
2. The Emperor and the Assassin
3. Solo Con Tu Pareja
4. Smokin’ Aces
5. Volver
6. Ratas Ratones Rateros
7. Penny Dreadful
8. The Hamiltons
9. Unrest
10. Unknown White Male
11. The Promise
12. Creep
13. Masters of Horror: Pelts

(Extra Bonus Round!)

What Netflix tells me I have at home:
1. The Gravedancers
2. My Brilliant Career
3. A Guide to Recognizing your Saints

P.S. Off-topic, but here is a nice little rant by Shiloh Walker on the whole Sex vs Story dealie. I’ve been wanting to write about it for some time, but I’m not eloquent enough for it. Heh. It’s a good one. Thanks, Shiloh!

    I’ve only heard of 3 of these. Volver is on my list too. But WHEN do you have time to watch movies with all of your writing, reading, blogging, schooling, snarking, and Tim-ing?

    Cocaine is a hell of a drug, Wylie. Hell of a drug.

    Just kidding. I have mad time management skillz.

    Looking for That Word is much easier with the right thesaurus. Rodgets 6th is flamingly brilliant for that. Because you only have to know the idea of what you want. It’s organized by subject.

    I haven’t seen any of those movies, but I’m not a movie watcher. I’m trying to change that. I need to see story, but I always feel so lazy sitting there. Maybe I can crochet an afgan while I watch? *g* There was one from Cath Kidston I wanted to make…

    And I need netflix. I think you sold me. I can’t be bothered with going to the rental store.

    I so want to see Smokin’ Aces and Volver! Every time someone mentions Netflix I want to sign up. I’m going to have to look into this…

    Thanks for visiting my site today!

    I watched Curse of the Golden Flower a couple of weeks ago…wow! First Chow Yun Fat is hot, Gong Li is gorgeous, the setting absolutely stunning and the plot is wicked - family, no matter how bad, they’re yours. I hope it shows up quickly for you.

    Feeling lost and confused. I haven’t heard of any of these. It must be because I’m in NZ. Yeah, that’s it!

    Hey Bam,

    I love Netflix too, but quick question, did you like A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints? Is that the movie with hottie Channing Tatum in it? If so, I didn’t even know it was out and I’m going to put it on my netflix queue. But I wanted to know…I’ve got Smokin’ Aces on my queue.

    Thanks,
    Rowena

    Rowena, I have not seen it. I do have it around, as it turns out. I love Robert Downey Jr, though. And I know he’s in it.

    Bam, you really gotta tell me what The Promise is like when you see it. I really, really wanted to see it (like, I talked about it for months–I have a mini girl crush on Ceci Cheung and I heart the prettiness that is Nicholas Tse but then when it came out in China, I heard it was really bad, so I haven’t watched it yet so I can still preserve the hope that maybe–just maybe–it’s not that terrible. And I’d like to see Penny Dreadful)…. And FWIW, I thought Creep sucked all kinds of goat ass, lol.

    why thank you bam. i’ve been told i rant well… okay, okay, the DH tells me I just like to rant. he never said that i rant well. ;o) But if I do that much, that means I have plenty of practice and practice does make perfect, right?

    ;o)

    Smoking ace’s was a dissapointment to me really.
    There was something too hollow about it, but I really do want to see “curse of the golden flower.” My brother has his doubts about it. but if Bam approves it must be gold ^_^

    I am a total Meat Loaf fan. Must rent movie…must rent movie…

    I DVR stuff and watch it later. Right now, “How Clean is Your House” on BBC-America is an obsession. When I have insomnia and don’t want to write, I watch what I’ve recorded at 2am…
