Netflix Your Weekend June 3.0
Via MARK WINGERTER Jack Reacher – You’re probably thinking- Jack who? Believe it or not this movie has Tom Cruise in it. And you probably missed it like most people did- including me. But I needed something to watch one boring evening…
Netflix Your Weekend, June 2.0
via JR Forasteros Zombeavers – The title is genius. The premise is exactly what it promises. And every time you think it can’t get any crazier, it does. Zombeavers deserves to join the pantheon of great B-horror films. Standard “you’re watching a horror…
Netflix Your Weekend, June 1.0
We’re trying something a little different for the month of June for our Netflix Your Weekend post. In an effort to broaden your options and tastes, we’ll have THREE options instead of one from three different regular contributors to Reel…
Netflix Your Weekend | The Boxtrolls
When The Boxtrolls came out last September, my weekly movie theater preview was smothered in skepticism. Even the general movie-going public’s opinion on this movie wasn’t even lukewarm. People were even more confused and slightly angry when it got an Oscar nod…

Netflix Your Weekend | They Came Together
Ah, the 90’s romantic comedy. Bursting into my life with the always great and heart-string-pulling Sleepless Seattle, then reprising itself in the equally warm and AOL marketing You’ve Got Mail, and finally concluding with less successful yet equally emotional How…
Netflix Your Weekend | The Babadook
The first movie that ever really scared me was The Exorcist or possibly Poltergeist. Why on earth my parents ever let me watch those movies when I was a kid is beyond me (maybe they didn’t and I just watched…
Netflix Your Weekend | Daredevil
Marvel. Just say the name nowadays to even the most casual of fans to TV and film and you are bound to get a reaction. Whether you are the hopeless fanboy who had been eating up what they have been…
