US Highlights: Bob the Builder, The Way (with a younger Sheen/Estevez directing his dad.  And they play father and son. Just so/so but it does make the Camino look fun) and Everything Must Go.

Here's a promotional clip for Everything Must Go

I really enjoyed Everything Must Go.  Kind of a shame it got completely overlooked by everyone.

Was that the grocery store one?

There's a few scenes in a grocery store, but it's a comedy/drama with Will Ferrell as an alcoholic.

...huh. I was thinking of "Ten Items or Less," not a movie.  Never heard of that. Sounds like kind of a bummer.

It's funnier than it sounds.  It's certainly not Lost Weekend with jokes.  If it was made in the 70s, it's the sort of film that Walther Matthau would've starred in.

That actually makes me want to see this movie.  Matthau was certainly a great one.

Is that the one where he sings the Wreckless Eric song?  Too lazy to Google.
I'm all out for kicks...and every inch of me spells EXCITEMENT!

It's not on the American Site yet, but they've added a coming soon and expiring soon section to the What's New on Netflix site.  So that's cool.  (Nothing particularly interesting expiring, but a bunch of TED Talks are going to pop up on Tuesday.)

They haven't updated the UK site in a week or so.  Very annoying.

Should be a bunch of new titles available tomorrow with the first day of the month.  Unfortunately, I see that I am losing a few titles tonight from my queue.  Need to try and watch at least one or two, but not sure which ones.

Much more than that actually.  A really big haul today.  Will try to watch something tonight.  I haven't seen Addams Family Values in ages, so I might check that one out.
