Essential Official Netflix Thread

[dvdjamm]

Spring is in the air and daylight saving time is about to start, which means those carefree lazy nights of binge watching Netflix will now come with a side of guilt as you look off into the late evening sunset. Good thing there’s some good stuff arriving this month in the U.S. to keep you occupied.

The Highlights
As has been the case for several months now, the big push here is once again Netflix originals. That kicks off with the first season of Marvel’s Iron Fist, a show about a superhero doing superhero things and probably kicking people. There’s also 13 Reasons Why, a teen suicide drama directed by Tom McCarthy based on the popular young adult novel of the same name. Other new series include One More Time, Beau Sejour, and Samurai Gourmet. As for returning shows, Love comes back for its second season of bored-skinny-white-30-somethings-in-Los-Angeles-doing-things, and Grace and Frankie lines up for its third season. Netflix is also dropping a few new feature length films, including the Hell Week coming of age drama Burning Sands, the comedy-caper Deidra & Laney Rob a Train, the South Korean nuclear disaster film, Pandora, the Madalyn Murray O’Hair biopic Most Hated Woman in America, and finally, the much talked about The Discovery.


Netflix is also debuting Five Came Back, a documentary based on the book of the same title that details the effects of World War II on Hollywood and its directors. In conjunction with that, Netflix is offering up a ton of classic World War II documentaries, including How to Operate Behind Enemy Lines, Let There Be Light, Prelude of War, and a bunch more.

As for non-Netflix titles, Disney’s The BFG (RT: 75%) and Pete’s Dragon (RT: 86%) are easily the biggest highlights. Life Aquatic (RT: 56%), Archer season seven, and the ‘90s teen goth totally not lame at all classic, The Craft (RT: 50%) all also arrive this month.


You won’t have much to worry about as far as movies leaving, unless you haven’t seen Jaws (RT: 97%) yet, in which case you should really take care of that. The 2014 Emile Edwin Smith Oscar vehicle and dramatic tour de force Mega Shark vs Mecha Shark is also leaving.

A Review for I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore (SPOILERS)

Spoiler

"Everyone is an a$$hole," says Melanie Lynskey's Ruth early into the new thriller, I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore. In the moment, she's venting to her sister about the entitlement of a thief who broke into her house to steal her shyt, but she could just as easily been talking about the unhinged moral universe of writer-director Macon Blair's joyfully oddball Sundance break-out, which is now streaming exclusively on Netflix. In Blair's world -- like our own -- the a$$holes are winning.

Luckily, Ruth is putting up a fight, and occasionally sticking it to the a$$holes in an insane fashion. Blair has fukked-up movie pedigree: the filmmaker cut his teeth as an actor in the brutal, semi-comic hillbilly noir Blue Ruin and played an essential role in last year's uncompromising Nazi punk thriller Green Room (both by director Jeremy Saulnier). I Don't Feel at Home in this World Anymore has a wackier, more absurd touch than Saulnier's unrelentingly bleak films, but they're similar in setting, tone, and madcap bloodshed. Blair wants to grab your throat, but he also wants to tickle it. And throw ninja stars at it. This is a weird movie.

And there's so much strangeness to be found in the nooks and crannies of individual scenes. While it would be fun to see the film on the big screen, it's also perfectly made for the freeze-frame, screen-cap era of modern laptop movie-watching. Blair's kooky sensibility rewards a watchful eye, a careful ear, and a finger hovering above the space bar. Here are five moments that make this weirdo crime flick tick.

While Lynskey, recently seen in HBO's Togetherness, is undoubtedly the best part of the movie, she contends with a scene-stealing Elijah Wood as Tony, a weight-lifting, metal-loving eccentric. While some of Tony's quirks might feel like quirky nerd affectations -- did we really need to see his Settlers of Catan board game in the background of one shot? -- his love of ninja stars is a welcome character trait. As Tony and Ruth become vigilante buddies, we get to see Wood, a droll comic presence, dole out pointy justice by throwing metal stars at various criminals and low-lifes. Yes, in 2017 Frodo knows kung-fu.

One of I Feel at Home's best scenes sees Ruth and Tony take a trip to a shady flea market, where they attempt to get back her grandmother's precious dishes. The walk through cluttered sanctuary is a treat -- at one point they pass a yellow plastic horse with a sign on it that reads "Not a real horse" -- but the weirdest part comes when Lynskey spots this little critter eating what looks like paper. What's this guy doing there? What important document is he eating? Is it the secret to unlocking the whole movie?

Ruth's quest to get her shyt back is a relatable one. At various points she gets in borderline Kafka-esque conversations with authority figures like a 911 operator and a depressive detective who fail to offer any valuable assistance. So, like many action heroes before her, she takes justice into her own hands, but she does it in a fittingly child-like manner: she gets a police badge from a cereal box. Tony the Tiger would be proud.

If you've ever watched a violent sequence in a movie and said, "I'd be sick if that happened to me in real life," well, this is the movie for you. During the film's climatic (and slapstick-ey) confrontation in a bad guy's mansion, multiple limbs get shot up, broken-down guns explode, and, yes, someone takes a ninja star to the face. Ruth reacts by puking her guts out, leaving a puddle of vomit on the floor that rivals the amount of blood spilled in John Wick: Chapter Two. Honestly, I'm amazed no one slipped on it; kudos to Blair for showing some restraint.

In its exciting final section, Blair goes full Deliverance and puts Lynskey on the run through a deadly forest, which cinematographer Larkin Seiple (Cop Car, Swiss Army Man) shoots in the earthy green tones of a Vietnam War movie. Though parts of the movie can feel a bit like a sitcom -- no more comedic scenes of adults having breakdowns in front of little kids, please -- the wilderness section has a visceral, tactile quality that makes this feel more like a movie than a truncated binge-watch. When that snake shows up, try not to lose your shyt. It's the type of unnerving cinematic moment that can be enjoyed by both a$$holes and non-a$$holes alike.

[Chris Cool]

What's it about

History docu-series. It looks like it's only going to focus on the last 60 years or so of the 20th century. First three episodes are about WWII, the next one starts talking about the beginning of the Cold War. Talks about details of events and influential people that weren't widely known or have become forgotten. Henry Wallace was the Bernie Sanders of his time.
