Top 5 Netflix new releases for the week of Nov. 30, 2009. Just our picks for what’s worth watching:
- The Royal Tenenbaums (MOVIE) – This comedy did just o.k. at the box office, but the last decade has seen fewer and fewer Gene Hackman movies, so we say watch this one. It’s comedy is pretty dry, but still worth your time.
- The Botany of Desire (Documentary) – This is truly a unique documentary about how humans interact with plants. We know it sounds boring, but its actually very intriguing and you’ll have plenty of “I didn’t know that!” moments.
- The Proposition (MOVIE) – This is probably one of the better Western’s set in Australia since the likes of Quigby Down Under in the 1980s. Set in the Australia of 1880’s and starring Guy Pearce, this drama is definitely worth watching.
- The Buddy Holly Story (MOVIE) – This is one of the best biographical pictures ever made. It tells the story of the rise of Buddy Holly in the 1950’s, and stars a then pretty much unknown Gary Busey. No, he wasn’t quite so weird then either. Excellent movie, see this.
- Silent Movie (MOVIE) – This 1976 Mel Brooks classic will have you laughing…that is if you can handle the corny jokes that are Brooks’ trademark. After a while, the jokes just get to you and then you have to laugh. This one was not as watched as Blazing Saddles or Young Frankenstein, but it still comes from a decade where Brooks was at his best.
