Netflix Challenge: Halloween Wrap-Up

Teeth
Just your run-of-the-mill tale of a pretty and chaste young high school abstinence advocate who discovers she's got Vagina Dentata. Three weenies get chomped by film's end, including one attached to that weird dude from Nip/Tuck.



Legion
I fell asleep during this one. Carolina says she liked it, and I have to admit, the trailer makes it look pretty cool.




Removed by Default
Two of the three films in German director Rainer Werner Fassbinder's BRD trilogy, Marriage of Maria Braun and Veronika Voss, made an artsy exit from the queue without getting watched. Seemingly out of the blue, Netflix decided Oct. 31 was the last day for these films in the streaming catalog. If you're interested, someone posted all of Maria Braun on YouTube.



Also eliminated by default is The International. The only reason this one was added in the first place was because I liked the look of the poster:



And unless I get to it tonight -- and right now it's not looking good -- The International will be joined in the default bin tomorrow by Sidney Lumet's version of Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express.

Thank you, Netflix. Only 44 more to go.
