Netflix Fridays: What are we watching now?

Posted by Oscar Nazi on Friday, April 23, 2010, In : Netflix Fridays

Coming up this week we have

Also up we have the long awaited viewing of "An Education," the second-to-last Best Picture nominee of this year for us to see, and the only one left which we will actually willingly-watch sober. (Fun fact! "Avatar" ju...

Netflix Fridays: What are We Watching Now?

Posted by Oscar Nazi on Friday, March 12, 2010, In : Netflix Fridays

So now that we're settled in a new site and the Oscars are behind us, I figured it might be a good time to reinstate Netflix Fridays and give you a peek at what is on our queue these days. Up this weekend we have something old and somethings new. Prehaps next week, we can moe on to something boorowed and blue.
