With the LG BD300, you will be able to stream whatever you rent from...

An Enemy of the People

LaurenceJarvikOnline (Free subscription) | 7 hours ago

Last night someone I know and I watched a 1971 production of Henrik Ibsen's drama, An Enemy of the People, now on Netflix . It was pretty good, despite being rated 2.6 stars. I'd give it 4-5 stars, myself. It seemed especially relevant today, when there seems to be a lynch mob mentality abroad in the land on all sides of the political spectrum. Ibsen's play defends an individualist--Dr. Stockman (Robert...

Law and Letters (Free subscription) | yesterday

Given my personality and predilections, you'd think that I'd like Me, You, and Everyone We Know , The Baxter , Mutual Appreciation , anything by Neil LaBute , and The Decemberists. You would be wrong, alas. I like indie cinema, but not twee indie cinema. Netflix recommendations, you fail me. I just mention The Decemberists because despite their clever, intricate lyrics, I can't stand the voice. Sometimes...

Is your Netflix queue destroying the environment?

Slate Magazine (Free subscription) | 08/05/2008

My family just got Netflix, and the first DVD we rented was An Inconvenient Truth (really). As we watched the film, I started getting pangs of regret: The movie was surely sitting on the shelf at my local video store, and here we were getting it delivered from hundreds of miles away.
