Netflix Pick: Out of the Wild Survival Series

I have watched both Out of the Wild: The Alaska Experiment and Out of the Wild: Venezuela. These are a couple of very entertaining adventure series which set several strangers in the wilderness with limited resources. The group of people have to rely on their resourcefulness to make it back to civilization alive, foraging for food, building makeshift shelters [...]

Netflix Pick: The Colony……………

It has been a little while since I have posted a “Netflix Pick”. Netflix is an excellent deal in my opinion. For less than $10.00 per month you can access and watch thousands of movies, documentaries, program and more through your computer, TV, media player or entertainment system. Good way to save some entertainment dollars to spend later on [...]

Netflix Pick: The Crazies

I had little interest in watching “The Crazies“. I figured it was just another “people stumble on some backwoods inbred cannibals” movie. I was wrong. Now – this is no Academy Award winning flick – but it has a good story and good action. Tied to “survival”? Massive disease spreading across the countryside with roving psycho’s bent [...]

Netflix pick: Ever Since The World Ended

This movie is filmed as a post-Apocalypse documentary. I watched it several months ago and found it rather disturbing. Some of the attitudes displayed by characters seem unbelievable to me – but this takes place 12 years after a devastating plague – so who knows how people would react. Ever Since The World Ended “Twelve years after a [...]

Netflix Pick: Them!

I saw this movie well over 30 years ago and it scared the gajeebers out of me. Yes……the gajeebers. What a mess. The idea of giant ants taking over the world – well, good to watch on TV – not so good in real life I suppose. Old black and white movie, good acting, great [...]

One of my all time favorite movies……Red Dawn.

Netflix pick: Survivorman

I have watched many of Les Stroud’s Survivorman and just found out that I can stream episodes instantly to my laptop or TV. Looking forward to watching many more.   One of the things I have really liked about this series is the method which it is filmed - Les is out there by himself. That provides [...]
