New to Instant Streaming On Monday May 9th
No new movies worth mentioning today but we do get two AMAZING British TV series. First up, Sherlock: Series 1 starring Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch. After that, Series/Season 5 of Doctor Who is also coming to Netflix Instant. Both of these shows are crazy good and Matt Smith is particularly effective in his first season as the Doctor. More than enough to keep you busy during an otherwise slow week.
The Under-Ranked: Sucker Punch
25, Mar 2011
by Ross Bonaime
This week, director Zack Snyder releases his fifth film, Sucker Punch. This film marks Snyder’s first wholly original work, after 2004’s Dawn of the Dead and his adaptations of the famous graphic novels 300 and Watchmen and the children’s book, Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole. In Sucker Punch, Baby Doll, played by Emily Browning is left in a mental institution where she will receive a lobotomy in five days. Along with four other inmates, Baby Doll uses her imagination to create worlds that will help her and her other captives escape. But before going to see Sucker Punch this weekend, check out some of these under-ranked films from the film’s stars.
Along with Browning’s Baby Doll, Vanessa Hudgens as Blondie, and Jamie Chung’s Amber are Jena Malone and Abbie Cornish as Rocket and Sweet Pea, respectively. Both actresses have done some great independent features that are worthwhile to check out.

What do your fellow Flickcharters have to say?
ToryK – “I loved these guys growing up. Still do. But I think Tarantino’s most recent movie beats Rodriguez’, no contest. Machete was nuts, true. But to me, it was nowhere near as fun as Desperado. Or even Once Upon a Time in Mexico. Basterds felt like Tarantino taking his own movies apart, finding out what makes them tick, and building a new film with that knowledge in mind. I didn’t dislike Machete, I was just disappointed. I wanted more from a guy I was used to having to having so much fun with.”
Dinner for Schmucks (DVD and Blu-ray | PG-13 | 2010)

I reviewed this movie when it first came out for the site. I originally placed it in my top 33% but it’s fallen to around top 37% since. I expect it to keep dropping a bit as nothing has really stuck with me about the movie five months later.
Catfish (DVD and Blu-ray | PG-13 | 2010)

Rank it amongst the best Documentaries of all time.

Official Synopsis from Universal Studios: “In late 2007, filmmakers Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost sensed a story unfolding as they began to film the life of Ariel’s brother, Nev. They had no idea that their project would lead to the most exhilarating and unsettling months of their lives. A reality thriller that is a shocking product of our times, Catfish is a riveting story of love, deception and grace within a labyrinth of online intrigue.”

New Movies in Theaters: September 24, 2010

Do any of these films have a chance at becoming one of the best movies of all time?
Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole – watch the trailer ►
Animated owl movie directed by Zack Snyder and starring Jim Sturgess and Hugo Weaving. I think it looks like it’s at least worth a watch on the eventual Blu-ray.
Planning to see this movie, or already have? Directly rank it against these similar movies to see where it ranks for you amongst the best animal movies of all time:
Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps – watch the trailer ►
Solid Cast (Shia LaBeouf, Josh Brolin, Michael Douglas and Carey Mulligan) but this sequel just feels completely unnecessary to me.
Planning to see this movie, or already have? Directly rank it against these similar movies to see where it ranks for you amongst the best dramas of all time:
You Again – watch the trailer ►
With Kristen Bell, Sigourney Weaver, Odette Yustman, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Betty White.
