DVD Thursday & a few Instant Watch

It was a slow week for DVD's coming in, I found a new function with my wii and Netflix that I could instantly watch movies, old TV shows and other things. So I became a little obsessed with those and forgot to return movies quickly like usual. Enjoy!

My dad picked this one up also and the boys just loved it, I had to rent it for them also. Tim Burton movies not always my favorite movies, but this one I actually sat down and watch a little bit. You just fall in love with the rag doll robot characters and want them to survive.

2009PG-1379 minutes

In a postapocalyptic world, a small community of rag-doll robots hides in fear from dangerous machines out to exterminate them. But when a brave newcomer named 9 (voiced by Elijah Wood) joins the group, he inspires them to stand up and fight for their survival. Shane Acker directs this visually stunning animated film co-produced by Tim Burton, which also features the voices of John C. Reilly, Jennifer Connelly and Martin Landau.

Ok if you have Netflix and own a wii, PS3 or Xbox you can get movies Instantly to your TV!!!! I didn't think I would like this feature but then I found so many things that I love and now I'm a tad bit addicted. I mean I haven't watch real TV in a week :). I know I've crazy, but what can I say I have an addictive personality. For those of you who have asked I don't sit and watch a movie or TV, it's usually on while, I'm cooking, data entry, blogging etc.

My Instant TV picks so far:

This was one of my FAVORITE movies when I was little! My dad actually still has it on VHS for me (if you don't know what a VHS is then man I feel old). I had the BIGGEST crush on David Bowie and this movie made it go into over drive. If you haven't seen it then you must see it or even better if you've seen it watch it again. Cole actually sat down and watched it.

1986PG101 minutes

In this Jim Henson-directed fantasy, teenage Sarah (Jennifer Connelly) embarks on a life-altering quest when she attempts to rescue her little brother, Toby (Toby Froud), from the clutches of treacherous Jareth the Goblin King (David Bowie), who lives in a castle surrounded by a giant labyrinth. With just 13 hours to plot a course through the dangerous maze, Sarah must grow up fast, learn her responsibilities and muster supreme courage.

We don't get the movie channels I'm already paying $70 a month for cable so no thank you! But a while back Dexter was on cable, I think it was during the writer strike, so I caught a few episodes and thought it was a good show. Yes a little morbid but I've always like shows that make you think and an eye for an eye in a round about way. I was so excited to see it on the Instant watch! A great show!

Playing a sympathetic serial killer might sound like a stretch, but former "Six Feet Under" star Michael C. Hall pulls it off in this macabre drama about a likable forensics expert who channels his violent tendencies into knocking off miscreants. Dexter Morgan (Hall) seems so harmless, in fact, that neither his girlfriend (Julie Benz) nor his cop sister (Jennifer Carpenter) suspect the true nature of his extracurricular activities.
