This Week’s Netflix: A Roundup

May 26, 2009

Swingers (1996): I’m sure it was more enlightening back in the days before the “seduction community” came into the public’s awareness. 6/10.

Titus (1999): A visually fantastic reimagining of Titus Andronicus, Shakespeare’s most violent play. Incidentally, it gave me nightmares. Sir Anthony Hopkins, ftw. 8/10.

Amadeus (1984): Period film about the rivalry between Mozart and Antonio Salieri. Actually a lot better than it sounds. Oscar winner. 8/10.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004): Heart-wrenching film for anyone who’s ever loved and lost. Jim Carrey plays the awkward average Joe surprisingly well. 9/10.

Johnny Nmemonic (1995): Keanu Reeves does cyberpunk. Seriously, wtf was I thinking adding this to the queue? 3/10.

Bank Job (2008): Jason Statham stars in another London heist film. Not as good as “Lock, Stock…,” but heist films are always fun, and Statham is always foxy. 7/10.
