Thanks in part to a free trial subscription to Netflix, we've been watching (or rewatching) lots of movies lately:
Outland
You can probably guess my favorite genre from the list! The only movie we viewed that I didn't like was Shutter Island
. I thought it was too stylized, too predictable, and too heavy-handed. In fact, to me it felt like watching one of M. Night Shamalyan's recent films. That said, I did find interesting the final question raised by Leonard DiCaprio's character, "Would it be better to live as a monster or die as a good man?"

, released in 1981, realize it is a fun flick but no cinematic masterpiece.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
even though we saw the film. I think I may skip to The Girl Who Played with Fire which I got last summer at a garage sale!

I love Netflix. I tend to watch weird documentaries, which Netflix has a lot of, or dramas. Did you ever see Trekkies? It's a must-see documentary. It's happy and sad and funny all at once. -Hollychihuahua on SB Blog Comments
