The Netflix Instant You Might Have Missed: Sunday Double Feature!
I decided on Mondays and Fridays I am going to try and do a “The Netflix Instant You Might Have Missed” but decided this week I would do it a day early and give you guys a double dosage since it was such a slow day on the site.
Repeaters (2010)
The first pick we have is ‘Repeaters’. Imagine ‘Groundhog Day’ but not a comedy at all. I didn’t love this movie but I didn’t hate it. I was kind of in the middle on it. I didn’t regret watching it at all. It was kind of interesting watching and wondering to myself after “If you had the same day to live over and over…what would you?”
A gritty mind-bending thriller about three twenty-somethings — Sonia, Kyle, Weeks — who find themselves stuck in an impossible time labyrinth, where each day they awaken to the same terrifying day as before.
The movie stars Amanda Crew (‘Sex Drive’, ‘Charlie St Cloud’), Dustin Milligan (‘Shark Night 3D’, ‘Final Destination 3’) and Richard De Klerk.
Fish Tank (2009)
I came across this movie on accident and found it one of the more interesting of the random movies I find on the ‘flix.
Fifteen-year-old Mia (Katie Jarvis) is in a constant state of war with her family, her school and her neighbors, without any constructive creative outlet for her considerable energies save a secret love of hip-hop dancing. When she meets her party-girl mother’s charming new boyfriend Connor (Michael Fassbender), she is amazed to find him returning her attention, and believes he can help her start to make sense of her life—though his seemingly tender demeanor may hide a much more treacherous interior. A clear-eyed, potent portrait of teenage sexuality and vulnerability.
You read right. Michael Fassbender (‘X-Men: First Class’, ‘Prometheus’) is in this. And yes…as usual he steals the show.
