Movies, Movies, Movies

So I joined Netflix last Friday and soon had a queue of over 60 titles. That was overdoing it a bit, I know, but whenever you add one to your queue they show you movies you might also be interested in, so it's hard to stop. When I thought I had too many, I printed out my list and then eliminated over half. Now I have 25 or so. That's enough.

For the free two week trial, they set you up with three movies at a time. My first three were Beauty Shop, and a 2-disc set of an A&E show on Elizabeth I. Beauty Shop was a'ight. I like Queen Latifah but the rest of the cast was uninteresting to me. The plot was kinda boring, saved only by the excellent revenge on Jorge. All in all it was cute.

I watched the first disc on Elizabeth I last night. The information was good but they presented it with actors who basically had to look either stern, happy, sad, concerned, troubled, satisfied, etc. but hardly said a word. Once in a while they let the actor present some quote in a stiff formal tone. A couple times they even had the narrator speaking the words that the actor was mouthing. It wasn't entirely pleasant but it won't stop me from watching the second disc.

Finding Neverland should be arriving tomorrow! Gotta love that Johnny Depp.
