Netflix Picks of The Week (Week 3)

Netflix picks of the week. (Week 3)

Here on the Netflix picks of the week I’ll give you guys a little list of things that I found enjoyable on the streaming service. Each list will have 4 different picks for different tastes. So without further ado, the list!

For those who could use a laugh: Pineapple Express

While not the best film, Seth Rogen is a master at what he does and keeps the laughs rolling at a decent pace. James Franco’s performance is almost Oscar worthy and the ending is one hell of a way to go out. All in all just a fun movie.

For those who want to be conscious: Blackfish

It’s a harrowing documentary about the plight of killer whales in captivity. The film is so powerful trying to describe it may come off as an insult. Definitely worth a watch.

For those who are looking for history: Muscle Shoals

Muscle Shoals tells the story of a producer, band, and recording studio in the small town of Muscle Shoals, Alabama. The film recounts the history of the town, and how a tiny recording studio influenced so much music. It provides great context on the music industry of the late sixties and seventies. Well produced and excellently shot it’s a fun tale of our culture.

Pick of the week: Breaking Bad

It seems like everyone and their dog has seen this show but for those who haven’t, its worth a watch to say the least. Following cancer patient Walter White, who goes into the drug trade to secure his families financial future, this five season epic drama really knows how to pull the heartstrings. The twists and turns happen so fast and you almost never see them coming. Spectacular film, and sharp writing keep you clicking to watch one more episode. If you haven’t seen it yet, its time you dived into the king of TV’s golden age.
