Five billion. That’s how many DVDs Netflix has shipped since it starting mailing entertainment directly to people’s homes in 1998. Five billion little red envelopes have been carried by postal workers to all 42,000 zip codes in the U.S.A., and even some military bases.
Lunar films for the dreamers, the sci-fi enthusiasts, the skeptics and the dramatic. All available from DVD Netflix.
Elegant. Impish. Gamine. Audrey. This Saturday would be Audrey’s 90th birthday. Schedule a marathon with these classics from DVD Netflix. In each of these films, Audrey’s joy is infectious. She can dance, sing, make you laugh or feel wistful. And she has some killer dresses.
These sophisticated films of the 1950s highlight the noir sensibility and the femme fatale.
My latest for DVD Netflix focuses on Alfred Hitchcock’s output during the 1940s, a decade fraught by global war. It was a time laced with suspicion, doubt, daring, and misplaced trust. He knew what plagued an audience’s psyche. These stomach-knotting thrillers use the paranoia and instability of World War II to his advantage.
