Has anyone else noticed that netflix tends to stack positive reviews of a film on the first page? Jen and I recently rented a film called Shortbus, after seeing several positive reviews from both ordinary people and film critics, including 4 star reviews from the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune and the L.A. Times. After all the critical raves, you could imagine our surprise when we were assaulted by a truly offensive first scene which features a graphic depiction of a man auto-fellating himself and then blasting off right into his own face. I have to admit that I did not watch the rest of this film- I'm not the Hollywood blockbuster type, I like a good art film as much as the next guy, but really, should 4 star reviews of this film not come with at least some warning? I went back to the Shortbus page on Netflix and started clicking on the customer reviews and realized that if you keep clicking, the majority of reviews of this film are 1 star, yet the majority of the reviews on the first page are 5 stars. Somehow, netflix caculates that the average person rates this film 3.2 stars, but I just don't buy it.
Other films, I've seen recently that I can recommend...
Cautiva (Captive) is a really powerful, accessible movie about a teenage girl in Argentina whose parents were political prisoners during the Dirty War. A judge attempts to remedy a historical injustice, and in the process, the young girl finds out more about her family's past than she wants to know.

The Illusionist- what happens when a magician makes a fool out of the Crown Prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire? Bad things, man, bad things. This is an entertaining movie, well worth watching.

Gloomy Sunday- A Hungarian composer writes a song so melancholy that nearly everyone that listens to it wants to kill themselves. What the hell kind of premise is this for a film? Surprisingly though, this is a movie worth watching. Two men manage to share the affections of a stunning woman that is also being pursued by a Nazi. Its better than it sounds.

There have were times of hardship when I felt unhappy missing knowledge about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never imagined that there weren't any need in big initial investment.
