Where does the time go?
Since I last posted on Mighty Mighty Movies Unlimited, home entertainment has undergone somewhat of a sea change, with a lot of us now sitting in front of our computers to catch up on our favorite films, thanks primarily to a wonderful streaming service called Netflix.
I will be unapologetic here: I love Netflix. Just love it. For roughly eight bucks, where else can you catch up on the last year or two of new releases and a smattering of fill-in-gaps-in-your-movie-knowledge old favorites? (A word to the wise however : If you see an old favorite today, watch it today. It may be gone tomorrow. And that's no lie!) Just to name a few...
RIP Runaway: Caught about a half-hour of this 1984 Tom Selleck-Gene Simmons starrer at Edmonton's Twin Drive-In with Silverado, and was looking forward to catching up with the rest. RIP 1978's Casey's Shadow (Walter Matthau, a girl, and a horse), 1980's Stir Crazy (that one really stung, seeing as it is a Richard Pryor-Gene Wilder classic that I first saw on local broadcast TV, of course edited for television. I could go on. But you get the idea.
Now on to the positives. There is a heck of a lot of stuff to catch up on and revisit, and I'm looking forward to sharing my journey with you all. As I've posted before, there will be almost no rhyme or reason to my posts, except on days when I ask myself basic questions like:
Can Robert Pattinson stretch beyond Twilight?
So I guess this is my way of saying that my first films in The Great Netflix Film Festival will be 2011's Water For Elephants.
Looking forward to getting started!
