The joy of Netflix

I have come to the realization that I am terrible about blogging about my life!  I have a GREAT private journal that I don't miss a week in writing, so maybe I think my public writing is a double dose of extreme documentation of my life.

So I thought I would try something a little different.  Bri and I (in all our spare time between 2 jobs, teaching dance, remodeling our home, church callings, and social events) have found a delight in searching our instant view Netflix subscription for some hidden jems.  This all began with the realization that there is SO many activities to do in Houston.  We can go ..... eat or ...... watch movies..... or eat some more?  I think this is why we have an obesity problem!  There are no hills, lakes, or nearly anything to play on, in, or around.  Not to mention it is MUCH too hot to even sit oustide let alone move about frantically doing any type of physical activity.  Brian described it perfectly one day by saying that when he opened the door to go to work the heat litterally kicked him in the diaphram making him lose all his air and causing him to fall backward into the house gasping for air!  The air is thick here people....really thick.

Back to our new job.  Reviewing wierd unknown movies.  This happened when - after owning Netflix for an entire two years - we realized, they aren't adding anything new.  Unless of course it's something that was made before 1999 and is something no one has ever heard of before.  And since all I want to do during the summer here is crank the AC to 65 degrees and not move a muscle, this is the perfect new time waster.  I hope you might be inspired to watch some yourself (Warning...these movies are only any good if you already expect them to suck.....reeaaallllyyyy bad).

First hidden gem:  "The Thrid Wheel". Imagine wanting for 2 years to go on a date with someone and when you finally do how pressured you feel to make it be perfect.  Except within 2 minutes of havnig picked up your date you run over a homeless guy, who also seems slightly mentally challenged.  Not only do you feel like an idiot but you need to show your date how generous you are.  They go to the hospital to make sure he's okay.  You explain to the injured that this has to be the perfect date, and the soon to be 3rd wheel decides to take it upon himself to make this the best date ever. 

I was SO entertained by this movie.  I think one of the bigger suprises was the number of actors that appeared in this film!  Fun to try to remember all the shows they are all from. If you're a Netflix viewer and have run out of movies to watch, definately through this in your que.

Happy watching all!
