New on Netflix – August 24th and August 31st

You want the scoop?  I got the scoop.

Another two weeks, another batch of new movies to watch on DVD!  Though usually something of a technophobe, I have to say….I LOVE MY BIG HDTV!  It isn’t huge by industry standards, but I remember well the days of 13 inch CRT TVs with coat hanger rabbit ears and relish The Future.   I can indulge my movie addiction in high def from the comfort of my own couch.  It’s love, people!  Let’s see what we have coming to a living room near you, shall we?

Well, that’s slim pickings for August 31st, but I am thankful that if one movie has to be delayed, it’s Marmaduke.  I suppose I could go outside or something.  Nah.  I still have all of Dexter – Season 4 to watch!  Forget popcorn, I should have a blood orange…
