New Movies Streaming on Netflix Instant Watch: April 11 – 17

Another relatively slow week. The lack of new movies does give you more time to watch awesome flicks like Mystery Team, Valhalla Rising and a sizable chunk of Sidney Lumet’s filmography.

There was some big news over the past week as Netflix and AMC signed a deal for all past episodes of Mad Men. It was also announced that all the Star Trek series will be released on Instant Watch starting in July.

Streaming On Tuesday April 12th

Nothing great but still a decent way to kill 90 minutes, especially since it stars both Superman and Luke Skywalker. For a better version of a similar story, watch Who Can Kill a Child?, a fantastic Spanish movie from the 70s, that does ultimately answer the question raised in the title in spectacular fashion.
