Netflix Streaming

February is here and along with it there are a slew of great movies and television shows being added to Netflix’s instant watch options for your viewing pleasure. Once again, there is something for everyone as Netflix adds streaming movies available for the first time and brings back a few classics from Airplane and A Fistful of Dollars to The Usual Suspects.

Of particular note are the return of House of Cards and Kevin Spacey when season two of the political drama premieres mid-month, and the final eight episodes of Breaking Bad coming at the end of the month. This is going to be a great month for television bingeing!

With Netflix’s streaming functionality being a bit difficult to navigate, especially when trying to locate newly added movies to watch, I’m cutting through the dreck and highlighting some great titles to add to your queue that are now available.

DVD Review: Toad Road

Toad Road DVD CoverToad Road
DVD | Amazon Instant
Directed by Jason Banker
Written by Jason Banker
Starring James Davidson, Sara Anne Jones, Whitleigh Higuera, Jamie Siebold, Scott Rader
Artsploitation Films
Release Date: December 17, 2013

Urban legend has it that on a long winding trail in the woods outside York, PA there are seven gates that will lead you to the doorway to Hell. As you pass through each gate, you hallucinate more and more, and time and reality supposedly become meaningless. The only problem is that no one has ever made it past the fifth gate.

For new-to-town Sara, who has fallen in with a rambunctious and directionless band of twenty-somethings focused only on the next drug high, this legend becomes all-consuming. Though her boyfriend James tries to get her mind off it, Sara becomes singularly focused on discovered just what happens on Toad Road. And with a dropper of acid at the ready, Sara begins her fateful trip down the road.

Meeting somewhere between a pseudo-documentary due to how the film is shot and student art film that desperately wants to look between-the-lines of reality and fantasy, Toad Road is a meandering journey through a group of kids’ lives as they try to have a good time and enjoy each others’ company as they bake their brain.

Movie Review: Mega Shark Vs. Mecha Shark

Mega Shark vs Mecha Shark Cover
Mega Shark vs. Mecha Shark
Directed by Emile Edwin Smith
Written by Jose Prendes
Starring Christopher Judge, Elisabeth Röhm, Kate Avery, Hannah Levien, Debbie Gibson
The Asylum
Release Date: January 28, 2014

A new megalodon shark has surfaced in the ocean waters and it doesn’t take long for the massive shark to begin acting just like its predecessors as it begins a worldwide tour of aquatic terror. This time around though, the government is at the ready as they have built their own giant mechanical shark to combat the prehistoric monstrosity on its own turf.

Helmed by a married couple in the US Navy and powered by a KITT-inspired artificial intelligence system, the shark-shaped submarine battles it out against the Mega Shark leaving carnage, ship wrecks, and countless dead in their wake. As they study the patterns of the megalodon they realize it is headed on a crash course for Sydney where the ancient spawning grounds of the megalodons are and there is only one conclusion: it is expecting to find a mate there!

With shark-attack horror movies and spectacle documentaries continuing to move full steam ahead, The Asylum breaks out one of their most popular oversized beasts for its third outing with Mega Shark vs. Mecha Shark and the series has never looked better. Here, the movie obviously takes the genre to its next stage in evolution with some kaiju-inspired and Pacific Rim riffing fun by adding robots to the mix.

Screenwriter and director Jose Prendes has been in the movie business for over a decade now, turning out low-budget scripts and movies primarily for the notorious “mockbuster” outfit The Asylum. The latest movie he has scripted, coming out at the end of the January, is the third in the Mega Shark franchise, Mega Shark vs Mecha Shark. Prendes also is turning to the literary scene with his debut novel, Sharcano, which has a premise that must be heard to be believed!
