Each weekend, I recommend a movie, documentary, and TV series that I found through Netflix or started watching because it was conveniently on Netflix and I had been meaning to get to that movie/documentary/TV show for some time. If you have any recommendations, feel free to leave a comment!
Dumped on her grandparents for the summer by her indifferent mother, acerbic and self-destructive teenager Greta disrupts the elderly couple’s staid life on the Jersey Shore. Eventually, a romance helps Greta face down her demons.
I’m a big fan of Hilary Duff so this viewing was going to happen no matter what and I enjoyed it. Yes, it could have been better but it also could have been really bad and judging by the way it came out in the end, I think it’s solid enough to recommend if you like indies and have free time on your hands.
Annie Leibovitz: Life Through a Lens
This documentary takes an in-depth look at the influential career of iconic photographer Annie Leibovitz, from her earliest artistic efforts to her storied tenure at Rolling Stone and Vanity Fair magazines and beyond. Intimately filmed by Annie’s sister Barbara Leibovitz, the program features interviews with the artist as she works at home, along with telling insights from many of the celebrities she has photographed, such as Mick Jagger.
Jennifer Garner stars in this mystifying series as Sydney Bristow, a grad student who’s also a double agent for the CIA and one of its adversaries, SD-6. Bristow transforms herself — literally and figuratively — from a rookie into a veteran agent. As she stays constantly on the run from unknown enemies, her penchant for disguise helps her while she contorts through every plot twist and confounding situation. Michael Vartan co-stars.
When Alias first premiered in 2001, I remember catching a few episodes here and there but I was never really focused enough to enjoy and appreciate the show. Clearly. When Fringe ended, I still needed my J.J. Abrams fix so I decided to finally start seriously watching Alias. It was either Alias or Felicity (I watched Lost – and enough of Undercovers to satisfy me – when they were on the air). After watching the Pilot of Felicity and being completely turned off by the idea of following a boy across country, I quickly turned that off and chose Alias. As of right now, I am about to start the fifth and final season and am so happy that I finally have this show under my belt. What will I do after I finish? Do I push through Felicity? Someone tell me the show is more than what it appears to be. I know it is but…like…when does it kick in?
