netflix gems pt 2
well – i’ve been watching some netflix as usual, and i thought it was time to share some more favorites!
frances ha ok. i love this movie. it’s about a lost 20 something who’s struggling with her career path and her best friend moving on without her. but gideon didn’t like as much as me. maybe it’s a girl thing.
house of the devil if you like horror movies, but especially if you like 80s horror movies – this throwback is really well done. stylized super well, the plot is not my absolute favorite, but if you’ve been meaning to watch it – then watch it. sound advice.
ramen girl don’t hate. this looked so cheesy and i kind of turned it on just to see how bad it was. an hour later and gideon and i are both ridiculously into it. if you give it a chance, this movie will make you want to move to japan and make ramen so fast.
robot & frank a super sweet movie about a senile old man and his robot. i’m a sucker for friendship movies.
once bitten you may have watched this as a kid on cable, but as i’ve shared before – i have a serious love of 80s movies. especially sex comedies. (i’ve mentioned before but HARDBODIES is our absolute favorite) this one stars jim carrey as a vampire. there’s an amazing dance scene. i mean. it’s good.
walking and talking yet another friendship movie – i was super bored and not into it when i put this on, but ended up liking it. you might too.
hunk omg another 80s sex comedy? yep. that’s what netflix is for. this one was surprisingly entertaining – and watch out for brad pitt as an extra on the beach!
a bag of hammers a kind of sweet drama about two deadbeat guys who end up raising a kid. i cried. therefore i share.
blackfish a really sad documentary about seaworld. another crying movie. super well done and seriously makes you want to go free all the whales.
I love bad 80s movies! And, I haven’t seen any of these. Adding them to my queue for the next sick day.
Blackfish was amazing and really stayed with me for awhile! Will need to check out some of the others !

I watched Blackfish a month or so ago and felt the same way! Couldn’t shake it. It reminded me of a time when I was like 8 years old and watched flipper or something and I went to the yellow pages of our phone book looking for “save the dolphins” because I wanted to call them and help them out.
Ha, I watched Once Bitten while I was sick on New Year’s Eve. I have such a huge crush on Jim Carrey…
