A few good movies

Great goddamn do I love Netflix!

Now that I got me one of those fancy blue disc players that streams all of the Flix online movies, I got it made in the shade brother. So, the selection could be a bit broader, especially in the television show choices, it is still nice to turn a piece of crap off and have to wait 3 business days to get something else. Sure, it would be nice if that also had porn available, but maybe it is a good thing that they do not.

Anyways, here is one movie that I was glad that my girlfriend put on the list...

Nick and Nora's infinite playlist

Starring Micheal Cera and that girl who was the daughter of the gilf in the 40 Year Old Virgin.

Sure Micheal Cera pretty much play the same character in every movie, but so did Charlie Chaplin. He also usually picks funny, well thought out movies the exemplifies his role as a nervous, nerdy white boy. This movie is as much about the soundtrack as it is a funny teen romantic comedy that is much smarter than the previews let on.

Another great movie, that was not available for online viewing but was worthy of a three day wait was 500 Days of Summer. Okay, So I have a bit of a school girl crush on Zooey D, but that is not why this movie is good. In fact, Summer is a bit of a moody bitch in the movie, which is not a romantic comedy, but more of a getting over love lost comedy that has a poignant message about love and loss. The one kid with three names from 3rd Rock is another young actor who always seems to pick great movies.

What the hell is his name?

Oh well, I am sure i will rmeber it later on.
