I know I have said this before, but this is a movie every nikka in america needs to watch. Seriously. It is wild that something like this can happen in this century. I was pretty young when this happened, so I assumed what the papers told me, that they raped ol'girl.
Funny how they never found those "white mobs" that killed lots of kids in NY during the 80's but a white bish gets raped and five nikkas take the charge, no matter what.

threw hulu in the bushes for netflix and my only regret was not switching earlier :blessed:

i think everyone should check out "indie game: the movie." it's a documentary showcasing the ups and downs of creating an indie game while giving you a look into the personal life of the creators of braid, meat boy and fez.

At the beginning of (and throughout) every month, Netflix Streaming adds new movies and TV shows to its library. Here is a quick list of several that you might be interested in. Some of these were added halfway through or near the end of March, but we're going to include them in this roundup anyway, since you may have missed them. Some of these may also have previously been on Netflix, only to have been removed and then added back.

Mean Girls
Just in time for its tenth anniversary, the Tina Fey–penned high school comedy arrives to be perpetually looped by millennials and educate those who missed the boat the first time around. Mean Girls made stars out of Rachel McAdams and Lizzy Caplan and remains one of the last hurrahs for pre-socialite Lindsay Lohan. A decade later, it has morphed into a cultural touchstone. Mean Girls is as fetch as they come.

Short Poppies: Season 1 (available April 3)
Netflix picked up exclusive rights to this mockumentary comedy from Flight of the Conchords'Rhys Darby. The show follows a filmmaker as he interviews the eccentric characters of a small, New Zealand town. Rhys plays both the documentarian and the subjects, Summer Heights High style.

The Grandmaster
There are two versions of The Grandmaster out in the world: Wong Kar Wai's 130-minute cut and Harvey Weinstein's Americans-can't-possibly-stand-22-more-minutes-of-this-stylish-martial-arts-biopic, 108-minute cut. Netflix hosts the latter. If tracking down Wong Kar Wai's meatier portrait of Ip Man proves difficult, know that the condensed Netflix edition remains spectacular. The director combines his sensitivity for human drama with radiant, slow-motion fight scenes. Action with purpose — a rarity on this side of the pond.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind
After instilling Hollywood with a blockbuster mind-set upon the monumental success of Jaws, Steven Spielberg directed this decidedly low-key spectacle. One wonders if Darren Aronofsky revisited the film before shooting Noah; Richard Dreyfuss's Roy finds himself drawn to Devil's Tower in Wyoming by the silent suggestion of an extraterrestrial presence. Glowing lights and mashed potato sculptures are enough to sell him on abandoning his family. He must join pint-size aliens on their skyscraper-size spaceship.

Rocky
Sylvester Stallone's Oscar-winning underdog tale arrives to Netflix with four sequels in tow (all but 2006's Rocky Balboa). Relive the classic fights the training montages (specifically Rocky IV's :chopping wood in Russia” sequence) and the culturally significant music cues (from Bill Conti's “Gonna Fly Now” theme to Frank Stallone's “Take It Back” to “Eye of the Tiger,” inseparable from Rocky III).

Going Ape!
Tony Danza is set to inherit five million dollars from his circus ringleader father if he can fulfill one stipulation: caring for three pet orangutans. A shaggy Danny DeVito, easily mistaken for one of the apes, co-stars. One of those bizarre, early '80s gems that probably made sense on paper.

Adventure Time (Season two)
If a fourth grader doodled across the pages of a Dungeons & Dragons quest book while rocking out to a Cat Power album, the result may look something like Pendleton Ward's Cartoon Network series. Adults shying away because of the “kid show” veneer should know that by season two, it's clear that Finn (the Human), Jake (the Dog), and the rest of the characters exist in a postapocalyptic world ravaged by atomic war. Not exactly Dora the Explorer.
