For the Sunday after Easter: 10. SNIPER: GHOST SHOOTER--The seventh in the action film series (all but the first straight-to-video), with Billy Zane, if that floats your boat. Rotten Tomatoes says 33%, but no shock there.
9. LEGALLY BLONDE--Ohmigod you guys, the movie that made Reese Witherspoon a star is new to Netflix. 8. CONCRETE COWBOYS--A new Netflix original (dropped Apr. 2) inspired by a real-life Black horse riding club in Philadelphia (the book the film is based on was "Ghetto Cowboys," but the wokies say you can't say "ghetto"). Starring Idris Elba, who always rides tall in the saddle. RT says 78%. 7. COCOMELON--The Crappy Kiddie Show That Wouldn't Leave. 6. WHAT LIES BELOW--A teenaged girl comes home from camp, but surprise! Mommy's got a new lover named John Smith (eeeewwwww!) This straight-to-video potboiler, which already presents Mena Suvari as the mom (yes, you're that old), is a borderline between fresh-and-rotten 625 on RT. 5. THE SERPENT--a BBC mini-series (co-produced with Netflix) based on a real-life serial killer who targeted tourists to Bangkok in the 70s. Aired on BBC1 this past January and dropped on Netflix this month. RT's rating is 69%. 4. THE LITTLE RASCALS--Another new-to-Netflix theatrical, the 1994 feature attempt to revive the famous Hal Roach "Our Gang" franchise (using the television title of the series). Audiences didn't find it exactly "oh-tay!" 3. WHO KILLED SARA?--The latest Netflix sensation, the Mexican thriller will have a second season drop in May, so we're not done with it yet. 2. THIS IS A ROBBERY: THE WORLD'S BIGGEST ART HEIST--The Netflix original true crime docu-mini about the 1990 theft from the Gardner Museum in Boston of $500M of art works dropped Apr. 7 and has an 88% RT rating. 1. THUNDER FORCE--The superhero comedy starring Melissa McCarthy and Octavia Spencer (and directed, like so many of McCarthy's recent films, by her husband Ben Falcone) dropped on Friday and hit the pole position by the starpower of its leads--the critics sure haven't helped anything (24% on RT). I look forward to another attack on the critics and the Oscars by Bill Maher this week. That's it for now--keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for your toes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
