In Honor of the Oscars - Netflix suggestions

Okay so we don't have cable and I get everything we watch either from Netflix or if Blockbuster Kiosk is working and they have a weekend deal, then we will do that, but this morning I organized our list on Netflix. 
We get two movies, and then we get two DVDs of our favorite series from television.  I love the previews and the inside page on the DVDs we get from Netflix.  Most of the time, it is something that is due out on the inside page and if it looks good we will add it to our queue.  I currently have 87 things in our queue.  We are almost done with the series Lie to Me for the season three, Terminator:  The Sarah Connor Chronicles will be over soon, and there isn't another season on that one.  We still have plenty NCIS and Criminal minds, and we have a few new series we are checking out, like Damages, Second Sight, The Remake series of the Nightstalker, and a couple of older series like Warehouse 13, and Witchblade the entire series on 8 discs I believe.  So now I have to find some new movies to add to our list so that I can complete the organization. 

So here is what we like and we are looking for suggestions.  Sci-Fi, Thrillers, Movies based on History, Westerns ( don't laugh), Some Horror but nothing like Jason, or Friday the 13th, Halloween, Scream or any of those.  I like psychological movie thrillers too!  Norman likes things like the Red Baron, Defiance, etc.  I'm not into watching Nazi movies so please don't suggest Valkyrie or Inglorious Bastards.  I don't like Brad Pitt, but love Matt Damon and Mark Walhberg.  Don't really like Tom Cruise, but George Clooney is okay.  Excellent specimen actors such as Liam Neeson, Christian Bale, and Gerard Butler are okay as well as Colin Farrel. 

Please post a comment with a suggestion.  Have a great day! 

PS if you have any suggestions for TV Series that we might like, please post a comment! 

Movie Review: The Devil Wears Prada

Okay so I know it is an older movie, not even really sure when it came out, but I thought it would be a funny movie based on the trailer I remembered seeing.  However, it wasn't as funny as I thought.  I love Anne Hathaway and Simon Baker( The mentalist and it is a small role), and I'm okay with Meryl Streep, but not her greatest fan.  Anyway, what I thought was a comedy is actually not and it was sad they way her friends actually treated her. 

If you haven't seen it, Meryl Streep plays an eccentric, egotistical, editor for a magazine called Runway.  Yes the fashion industry.  Anne Hathaway is a struggling journalist in bad need of a job, and is rather plain, and her name is Andrea and she goes by Andy.  She takes the job as the second assistant to Ms. Streep whose name in the movie is Miranda something because I can't remember.  The first assistant is Emily, played by Emily Blount. 

The transformation that takes place in Andy is remarkable, because she get advise from Nigel, played by Stanley Tucci that if she wants to succeed, she has to really want the job and become the job, and that is exactly what Andy does, and eventually becomes the 1st assistant.  She did what the job called for so that in a years time she could get a job working for any magazine writing.  Her friends called her names, laughed at her, and made her feel like a villain.  Granted she did change, but she did what the job called for in order to succeed. 

It is a good movie and we both enjoyed it, but it was not a comedy.  If you haven't seen it, check it out, it is worth a rental if you have nothing else to do.

Love, L
