I had one disk pop up in my instant viewing queue

Also, I think when they added the separate tab for the IW queue to the website, whatever you already had in your DVD queue that was available on IW was moved over and included in the IW queue (in a...

What did you watch today? v 11.0

I watched The Guardian. It was okay, it was Kevin Costner so I was expecting his typical sort of movie and that’s exactly what I got – nothing redeeming here. The ending was a complete disappointme...

001- The Mist


After a brutal thunderstorm pounds a small town, the residents discover a malevolent mist hangs over their homes, killing anyone who remains outside. Trapped in a grocery store, a band of survivors must make a stand against the deadly fog. Based on a story by horror maestro Stephen King and directed by multiple Oscar nominee Frank Darabont, this spine chiller stars Thomas Jane, Marcia Gay Harden and Andre Braugher.

002- The Contract


While vacationing with teenage son Chris (Jamie Anderson) in the wilderness, Ray Keene (John Cusack) discovers that a hired killer (Morgan Freeman) and his team of assassins are tracking the duo. Can Keene protect himself, his son and take down a first-class hit man before his bullet finds its mark? Directed by Bruce Beresford, this action-packed crime thriller also stars Ned Bellamy, Corey Johnson and Thomas Lockyer.

003- Who's Your Monkey


In one night, childhood buddies Mark (Scott Grimes), Bobby (Jason London), Laith (Scott Michael Campbell) and Hutto (David DeLuise) discover how far they'll go for friendship in this award-winning dark comedy. When Mark reaches an emotional and professional dead zone, the others try to cheer him up. But what begins as a simple night out mushrooms into a madcap adventure to bust an animal porn ring and dispose of the body of a crystal meth dealer.

004- Little Children


In director Todd Field's titillating tale, the lives of several adult suburbanites, who have yet to surpass adolescence, intersect on the streets of their small town in unexpected ways. While on-the-go wife and mother Kathy (Jennifer Connelly) is preoccupied with her career, Sarah (Kate Winslet, in an Oscar-nominated role), a mother who does not know how to mother, is busy having an affair with stay-at-home dad Brad (Patrick Wilson) -- Kathy's husband.

005- Raising Arizona


Edwina "Ed" McDonnough (Holly Hunter) is an ex-cop; her husband, H.I.(Nicolas Cage), is an ex-con. Blissfully content as newlyweds, the pair is devastated when they learn they can't have children. Not to worry: They reckon they'll just "borrow" one of furniture magnate Nathan Arizona's (Trey Wilson) new quintuplets. Featuring oodles of idiosyncratic humor, this kidnapping farce from Joel and Ethan Coen is a deft nod to classic screwball comedy.

006- Red Planet


In the year 2050, with the polluted Earth rapidly becoming uninhabitable, scientists are preparing to colonize Mars. But efforts to make the red planet more hospitable to its future human inhabitants have gone awry, and a manned rescue mission has been launched. The mission's astronauts and scientists (Val Kilmer, Carrie-Anne Moss, Tom Sizemore, Terence Stamp), however, soon encounter a deadly predicament of their own.

007- Lars and the Real Girl


Ryan Gosling plays the title character in this oddball comedy about a delusional young man who buys a life-size sex doll over the Internet -- and then falls in love with her. When the besotted young man starts telling people that the doll is his girlfriend, his brother and sister-in-law decide it's time to intervene in this film co-starring Patricia Clarkson, Emily Mortimer, Kelli Garner and Paul Schneider.

008- Super High Me


Determined to find out the true effects of marijuana on the human body, stand-up comedian and former Stoner of the Year Doug Benson documents his experience avoiding pot for 30 days and then consuming massive amounts of the drug for 30 days. More than just an amusing story of one man's quest to get superhigh, this documentary also examines the hotly contested debate over medical marijuana use.

009- 28 Days Later


A killer virus (it turns those it infects into homicidal maniacs) is accidentally released from a British research facility. Carried by animals and humans, the virus is impossible to contain and spreads across the entire planet. Twenty-eight days later, a small group of London survivors are caught in a desperate struggle to protect themselves from the infected.

010- Bee Movie


Comedian Jerry Seinfeld stars in this animated comedy as recent college grad Barry B. Benson, a worker bee stuck in a dead-end job making honey who files a lawsuit against humans when he learns they've been stealing the bees' nectar for centuries. Renée Zellweger, John Goodman, Matthew Broderick and Chris Rock are among the all-star cast members who contribute their vocal talents.

LOL! I watched the Spanish version of The Simpsons movie and that's the end of the Spiderpig song.

Puerco araña, puerco araña; al mal ataca con su telaraña. Su colita retorcida, da besitos con su trompita. Mira…es el puerco araña.

It's not as funny as the English version IMO, and it's definitely not as funny translated but it goes

Spiderpig, Spiderpig fights the bad guys with his spiderweb. With his curly tail, he gives kisses with his little snot. Look out .... it's Spiderpig.

Good gracious. I had no idea my avatar was getting up to such dangerous hijinks. And he's still at large!

Well, I'm not a man, so that rules me off of the suspect list. And I still haven't been to Chicago, though it is on my list of must-see cities, so I have an alibi. I guess I'll wait 'til this guy's caught before I don my Groucho nose-and-glasses again OR go to Chicago. Just to be safe.

On a lighter note, your avatar sometimes reminds me to do the happy dance.

I just realized that we never linked upon the NF site, now we did =)

yeah, i've been a little clueless. spiderpig sent me an email that she had invited me to be her friend on the netflix site. after i went in and accepted it, i did some more clicking and figured out there were other requests i hadn't accepted. d'oh! it's cool to see other's ratings and such. we're 71%! not too shabby...

LMAO, yeah s-m-r-t is one of my faves also.

Hey, does it make me a bad mom that although my kids could read when they were 4 and my 6 year old can multiply already my proudest moment is when they learned the spiderpig song? LOL!

OMG, I know about the not helpfuls, my poor little review of In Bruges seems to have sparked some hatred from someone. It only has 3 out 10 helpfuls. The anonymous internet masses are starting to hurt my feelings! Heh. Not really, but GEEZ!

yes, i've seen the first hellboy. i liked it. don't know if you know a lot about the hellboy character, but he's pretty cool. it's got a good sense of humor to it. it was also directed by del toro. i really liked selma blair's character.

Hey Laur! Been catching up on your reviews, I see a lot of new ones. Don't know why the Recount one has been rated not helpful by a few people since it's pretty good - probably politics, huh? Hopefully my helpful vote will counteract at least one of those. :)
