#333: Shut Up Little Man!

directed by Matthew Bate.

 Eavesdropping on your neighbors

and then making a profit on it

but it sure does make for one absorbing documentary.

Starz Play Exodus of 2012

A great number of movies that have appeared on this blog will be

Where we find ourselves.

Dear Readers,

I can see the finish line!  I've blown past my 300th pick and am well on my way to reaching my goal of 365.  It hasn't been perfect, but what never-ending journey through the streaming world of Netflix is?

I'll tell you this though - I'm fired up about the picks I have lined up for the next couple weeks.  You guys better enjoy 'em.  This is it folks.  The end is near.
