I watch quite a bit of Netflix. I mean what else is there to do when you're stuck in a college dorm and don't have anything to do? Given the amount of time I have for Netflix, or the amount of time I procrastinate, I have weeded out the good and bad of this glorious site. Here are seven not your average Netflix must see's.
1. "Big Eyes"
Starring Amy Adams and Christoph Waltz, Big Eyes tells the story of a young artist who was taken advantage of by her own husband. Though mainly appealing to artists, this movie can be enjoyed by all.
2. "The Wedding Planner"
The Wedding Planner is a great movie for those looking for a "not your average rom-com". This film features a wedding planner (Jennifer Lopez) who believes that she has finally found the love of her life (Matthew McConaughey) until he turns out to be the groom of one of the weddings she is planning. It is very entertaining to see everything unravel and work itself out.
3. How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days
This movie is great if you are wanting to watch something light-hearted and carefree.There are a few "iffy scenes" that wouldn't be appropriate for younger viewers, but the movie as a whole is pretty good. Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey each make a bet with their own friends that they will be able to lose a guy/get a girl in ten days. It is quite interesting to see how things fold out for this crazy pair, as they are not aware of each others' bet.
4. Ballet 422
Ballet 422 is a documentary featuring Justin Peck and his journey on creating the 422nd ballet at the New York City Ballet Company. This documentary gives an inside look
5. Safe Haven
Safe Haven is a great movie to watch if you are in the mood for a thrill, but can't handle a heart attack. Safe haven has some intense/scary scenes, but they are always followed up with some romantic/happy/light hearted scenes. Julianne Hough and Josh Duhamel have a great on screen
6. Seal Team Six: The Raid on Osama Bin Laden
This movie is both informational and entertaining. Though it does have to do with history/government/political issues, it is not so overwhelming where the average person wouldn't be able to understand it. This movie shows the detail that went into the raid of Osama Bin Laden's home.
7. Good Luck Charlie
Good Luck Charlie was a series on Disney channel that left the air a couple of years ago. Lucky for us, there are episodes-galore that appear on Netflix. This series is about a large family simply living their lives. Being that this family consists of babies, a little punk, the goody two shoes, "just your average kid", the "star" of the family, and a "bum", everyone can find some way to relate to this show. This is one of the funniest Disney shows I have seen.
