What are you watching this week?
It’s no secret that I am a Netflix lover. They are my main DVD supplier. When I need a movie fix, they’re there for me, dude.
So what does that have to do with you? Well, it occurs to me that Netflix doesn’t really publish a schedule telling us when it’s going to release various movies. This didn’t used to matter much, since they were released to Netflix the same day they were released for sale, but all that changed when they changed their policy and added a wait period to Warner Bros. productions. So now it’s a little harder to figure out what’s coming out on Netflix and when.
So now you have New On Netflix, right here on Movie Rewind. Every other week, we will give you the lowdown on what’s coming out on DVD and what’s coming out on Netflix. If there’s a Netflix wait, we’ll let you know. If Netflix is going to let you stream something as soon as it releases, we’ll let you know that, too. We’re here for you, dude.

I try to put things on my queue while they're in theaters or I forget they exist. Sad but true. Wait - no Netflix???? How can you stand it? ;)
