I watch way more Netflix than I care
to admit. Though, according to my friends, I'm not the only person
hooked on instant streaming. Even so, it has to be a bad sign when
your friends come to you for advice and suggestions on what to watch.
So I thought to myself, “Hey, I can kill two birds with one stone.
I could write a blog post about what I'm watching on Netflix.”
Viola! Genius! Now let us begin.
The Brass Teapot
I know, it's a weird title, and you
can probably guess the story centers around a brass teapot. But wait!
This teapot is magical. It grants its owners wads of cash whenever
they feel pain. But the longer they use it the more severe the pain
must be to reap the rewards. A great little independent comedy that I
suggest if you're looking for a quirky, witty, good time.
Plush
Emily Browning plays Haley, a rock
star whose brother, and band-mate, dies of an overdose. In steps the
new guitarist, a dark, handsome, mysterious man who might be more
into Haley than she realizes. Too bad she's married with children.
Soon, Haley finds herself wrapped up in a dark web of adultery, and
worse, death. Good thriller to pass the time with, but not ground
breaking.
Sherlock
Yes, that's Sherlock Holmes, if you
didn't know. Played by the extraordinarily talented Benedict
Cumberbatch alongside Martin Freeman as Watson, the contemporary take
on Arthur Conan Doyle's beloved sleuth meshes perfectly with
modern-day London, bringing familiar stories and characters into the
21st Century. Irene Adler is a dominatrix. What more could
you ask for?
Butter
I don't know what it was about this
movie that captured my attention, maybe it was the butter sculpting,
or the great performance by Yara Shahidi, or Olivia Wilde being a bad
ass stripper, or Jennifer Garner playing the uptight housewife she is
so good at. If you're looking for an offbeat dramedy then this one is
for you.
American Mary
This is one of those gems you so
rarely find on Netflix. It was such a unique story I fell in love
with it the first time I watched it. Katharine Isabelle is a knockout
as a med-student turned underground body modification surgeon. The
movie is gory, dark, and will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Aside from the story, I loved seeing Isabelle's character completely
transform throughout the film.
