Free Movies

For all those who want to watch as many movies as possible without actually renting, buying, or going to the theater, there are some new options opening up. Netflix is fucking awesome. I was blown away by it when it first came out just because you could keep movies for as long as you want and it was the best way to find the weird shit they don't carry at Blockbuster. They stepped it up though. Now if you have a membership with them you can watch countless movies on your computer at any time, whether you have a Mac or PC. Most of the movies that you can see instantly are either old or not very good, but their are some fucking absolute gems that people must be made aware of. For anyone that appreciates campy horror movies, you could keep finding new ones forever. They have every Masters of Horror, (Showtime's series that dedicates each episode to a famous horror director) many of which are really, REALLY fucking bad, but some are must sees. For all those who have Netflix and want to watch some movies instantly here are some of the gems that I've found.

Masters of Horror: Takashi Miike: Imprint - Holy fuck! I've never seen so many aborted fetuses in such a short amount of time. Well not while I was awake at least. Must see if you like ridiculous horror, especially if you're familiar with the director.

Masters of Horror: Dario Argento -- Pelts - Fucking Meatloaf playing a sexually deviant fur trader who tries to rape strippers. This director makes me fucking sick. Literally I squirm when I watch shit like this, but I can't get enough. Gore, just simple fucking gore.

Two Shane Meadows movies: This Is England and Dead Man's Shoes - both quality movies that I never expected to see on the Instant watch list.

Bomb The System - Not the best as far as serious cinema goes but, the soundtrack is fucking sick and, if you go for any movie with graffiti, weed, and hip hop, you'll be quite happy.

3 Extremes - ridiculous asian horror - absolutely vital - it's 3 different shorts (one of which pales in comparison to the other two)

Jesus Camp - Even if you're totally apathetic about the subject of Christian Evangelism, you're going to be disturbed by this movie. Seeing pre-teens speak in tongues and pray to a cardboard cut out of George W. Bush can really stir some emotions. 

Deliver Us From Evil - It's about a pedophile priest who got caught and then moved to a new church, and then caught again and moved to another church, and so on and so on. This movie is fucking brutal, it's a must see if you have the attention span for documentaries.

A Clockwork Orange - The type of old school movie you wouldn't go too far out of your way to see again, but it's on the Instant watch list so why not.

Teeth - Well, shit! I own it, but if there's anybody out there who ever wondered if a production company would actually follow through with a script about a girl with teeth in her vagina, herein lies the answer. I think they pulled it off really fucking well, but it's not meant to be taken seriously (maybe some feminists have). If you haven't seen it, you're dumb. It's important to your development as a fully functioning member of society.

Also, if you don't have Netflix, but want to get some free movie action too, there is always shitty bootlegs online or bit torrents. I recommend bit torrents.
