I actually really like Netflix (especially since the closest video store is 30+ miles away). It’s just that whenever I watch a movie now, I can’t stop thinking about what rating I’m going to give it! Five minutes in and it’s fate has been sealed. It’s as if I’m saying to the movie “Prove me wrong. You have to earn those 4th and 5th stars!”
A few of the latest that have:
Harakiri – This one wasn’t what I was expecting at all. I’m usually not into older movies but this turned out to be beautiful and engaging to me.
Volver – You’ve probably seen it. I hadn’t.
The Story of the Weeping Camel – I love documentaries though this doesn’t really seem like one. It’s a shame that TV has infected such a beautiful, humble lifestyle (that has nothing to do with the story btw).

Story of the Weeping Camel! That one sort of seemed like a low-budget Michael Winterbottom movie that's filmed like a documentary but the people are just acting.
