Hey Everyone! Welcome to the ITB with AB's Netflix Recommendations of the Week. This week I have two more movies and two more TV shows for you guys to check out.
Alphas (2011): While this Sci-Fi Channel show (that's right I used the old spelling) never had the following that Heroes had, in many ways it had a better concept and vision. I really wish that the first season of this show was the second season of Heroes. Alphas features more interesting characters as well as more interesting abilities. The Alphas team is lead by non-powered Dr. Lee Rosen (David Strathairn) who leads a team of "Alphas" or humans with enhanced abilities as they investigate cases that involve other Alphas. Unfortunately the series was cancelled after season 2 leaving the show with an unanswered cliffhanger. I gave Alphas a 5 out of 5 stars on Netflix.
Blue Mountain State (2010): This comedy follows the fictional University Blue Mountain State and their powerhouse football team, The Mountain Goats. This Spike network show focused on the partying and hazing that goes along with college and took it to an extreme. I gave the show a 5 out of 5 on Netflix.
Snowpiercer (2013): Based on a graphic novel this post-apocalyptic film staring Chris Evans (Captain America) sees all of the Earth's remaining inhabitants aboard the Snowpiercer. A train powered by a motion engine that runs along a track that circles the Earth in a year's time. The catch and what makes this movie great is that the train cars are separated by class with the wealthy up front and the poor are in the back of the train in terrible conditions. Evans finally has enough and decides to lead a group up through the train to get help and supplies. This movie features a pretty fun twist. I gave Snowpiercer 4 out of 5 stars on Netflix.
You're Next (2011): This horror-thriller sees a family reunion go very, very wrong. Coming in at just over an hour and a half this isn't the best movie in the genre recently but it gets right to the point. I really enjoyed the films choice of hero although on the flip side the twist was pretty predictable but with this type of movie I have come to expect that. I gave You're Next 3 out of 5 stars on Netflix.
That's it for this weeks edition of Recommendations! I hope you all enjoy these titles if you decided to check them out or just don't hate me if you didn't like them. If you want to let me know what you think about these titles you can comment below or via these methods below:
