Netflix Pix: Funny Girls and Serious Boys

Kevin from Awkward is What We Aim For here.

It seems like Netflix Pix features come far too quickly every week--each time I'm done with one it's onto the other. It'll probably go every-other-week in Season Two so I won't feel so drained by it to the point where I miss deadlines by a mile. But I digress.

This week we have two vastly different movies, and that's where this series makes its bread and butter. We'll be taking a look at the film that earned Tommy Lee Jones his last Oscar nomination, In the Valley of Elah, a film I've always considered underrated. Then we'll look at Funny Girl, the Barbra Streisand-starring musical that made popular such anthems as "Funny Girl" and "Don't Rain On My Parade." The theme this week is weak (no pun intended), but it's essentially this: boys are serious and talk about war, girls are divas and sing about things. Sexism! Now available in fantastic films.

Netflix Pix: Vicky, Cristina, Maria Elena, Hannah and Her Sisters

Kevin from Awkward is What We Aim For here with another installment of Netflix Pix.


This week, we're taking a look at some of the most fabulous women ever to grace Woody Allen's oeuvre. That's right, this week we're looking at the my number one film of 2008, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, starring Rebecca Hall, Scarlett Johanssen, Patricia Clarkson and the fiery Oscar winner Penelope Cruz. We'll also take a look at Hannah and Her Sisters, Allen's 1986 box office success that stars Mia Farrow, Barbara Hershey, Allen himself, and two Oscar winners, Michael Caine and Dianne Wiest.

Netflix Pix: Eternal Kramer vs. Up

Kevin from Awkward is What We Aim For here to share with all you Reel Artsy fans my regular feature Netflix Pix, highlighting some films you should have on your queue as we speak.

To celebrate the first collaboration between Awkward is What We Aim For and Reel Artsy, we have three movies featured today instead of my usual two, one regular mail and two Instant Watch. The combination (and the title of this post) is awkward, but that's exactly as it should be, no?

Without further ado, let's get started!
