It's that time of month when we get our new streaming options. Here are random new titles on Netflix for March (or that showed up late in February), freeze framed at totally random places, whatever comes up. As we do...
It's part of a musical trilogy I'm doing in D minor, which I find is really the saddest of all keys. I don't know why but it makes people weep instantly.
This is Spinal Tap (1984)
Heh. So funny this movie. Christopher Guest and Rob Reiner's collaboration became a classic. Without it we probably wouldn't have had Waiting for Guffman or Best in Show or whatnot.
More films after the jump...
Jurassic Park (1993)
Oh, perfect timing. I'd hoped they'd hatch before I had to go to the boat.
Love B.D. Wong. Love Laura Dern's gaping awe FACE. Love scientists as heroes. Love medium shots that show multiple characters. Love this movie. I don't think I appreciated it enough when it came out; I was hopped up on new cinephilia in college, I hadn't yet relaxed enough to the acceptance that masterful popcorn movies are rare beasts, too, and ought to be regarded as just masterful movies.
YOU BET YOUR ASS."
Blazing Saddles (1974)
GULP. I've never seen this one. *dodges tomatoes* I think I'd always hoped to see it in a theater because classic comedies are sometimes weird to watch on DVD with only yourself or one other person. Crowd laughter is such a crucial part of comedies.
-See anything you like?
-I'm ashamed to admit I'm attracted to all of them. I like cheap sex. I guess that makes me shallow.
Midnight in Paris (2011)
I remember being so surprised when this got a Production Design nomination at the Oscars. Shouldn't have been because it's one of Woody Allen's handsomest productions. It's just that his films, even the period efforts, aren't usually nominated for craft categories. Do you think Woody, who is 81 years old and still directing one movie every year as he's done since 1982, will have one last Oscar hit or was this the Academy swansong?
-It's been awhile since Jason and I have had a vacation. Not that I expect this to be one, in the traditional sense.
-No, I know what you mean!
Singing with Angels (2016)
I always forget that Mormons have their own movies now until one is right in front of my face like, oh right, they have a whole mini industry of faith films. This is exactly what Mormon women look like too so I guess not much has changed. This ones about a woman in the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.

The Craft (1996)
My best friend still quotes Fairuza Balk lines from this movie. So surprised this hasn't been remade.
