Overall, it’s a pretty slow week for physical media, but Netflix more than makes up for it. Their new agreement with the premium cable channel EPIX kicks off on September 1st; resulting in things like all the Indiana Jones movies, the Star Trek movies, and Iron Man available to instantly stream to your computer, gaming console, smartphone, and whatever else you may own. For $9 a month and being able to have a DVD out at the same time – it’s a steal, in my opinion.

3 movies: In the Year of Our Lord: 1974, In the Year of Our Lord: 1980 and In the Year of Our Lord: 1983. It’s a series of movies following a harrowing British crime across three investigators and nine years. They’re drawing very favorable comparisons to Zodiac. All three are also already available on Netflix’s Instant Streaming service via the link above.

I have encountered naysayers in the past who scoff at the notion that anything productive can arise from comparing movies from different genres or eras, or whatever else. “An Italian neorealist social drama vs. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen? Are you off your gourd, sir?!”, they might thoughtlessly jeer. How I pity those wretches and their sad, dark existence. In one of my previous User Showcase posts, Comments: Stepping Up Your Game, I discussed the insights than can be achieved by comparing and commenting on seemingly nonsensical matchups. What I didn’t consider at the time, though, was that doing so was but only one aspect of a greater philosophy geared toward attaining true cinematic enlightenment.
