When the clock strikes its last midnight in 2013—or somewhere around there, anyway—dozens of movies will disappear from Netflix streaming. Fortunately, you’ve still got some time to churn through the ones you’ll miss the most. Here’s a list of the very best of the movies that’ll be gone in 2014.

Wolf of Wall Street? Meh. American Hustle? Please. Anchorman 2? Tired. The Hobbit? I dare you. None of those movies in theaters right now compare to the epic awesomeness that is Kung Fury. Never heard of it? It’s okay. Just watch the trailer. It combines all the cheesy glory of 80’s cop movies with Kung Fu, killing Hitler, guns, Vikings, computer hacking, time travel, DeLoreans and dinosaurs

Quick, what’s the first thing you noticed about the planet we visited in last night’s Doctor Who special? That’s right: It was a soundstage.* None of Matt Smith’s final hour was filmed in a real location. Alien worlds used to be filmed in the studio more often — here’s why we miss visiting Planet Soundstage.

Below, you’ll find an argument that the best Christmas movie is Terry Gilliam’s Brazil, a film about a bureaucrat trying to survive a dystopian wonderland. Brazil is many things, most of them complimentary. But it is not the best Christmas movie. Not even close.

Just because a blockbuster tanked at the box office, doesn’t mean the talented folks who worked on the film didn’t pour their hearts and souls into every frame. Especially those responsible for a film’s visual effects, whose work often goes unnoticed when they’ve done their job right.

When Steve Jobs first announced the Apple TV, a device for playing digital content from iTunes, he was probably expecting it to become more of a hit than what it is. Sales aren’t exactly stellar which leaves plenty of room for competition to come in and steal the show. In this case, it’s Netflix’s first streaming box made by Roku which in some ways, is coming in to shine brighter than the Apple TV. It’s priced at an affordable $99 dollars compared to $229 or $329 for the Apple TV.
The one thing both devices have in common is that they allow users to watch movies. In the situation with the set-top box from Roku, Netflix subscribers will be able to access the Netflix library of about 10,000 movies and have them streamed. The only cost to Netflix subscribers is the cost of the box and the monthly service plan of at least $9 dollars. The cost to Apple TV users is higher because they are required to pay for every movie that they want to rent or purchase from iTunes which can quickly add up.
Above is the image of the Roku Netflix Player and the one thing it doesn’t have that the Apple TV does is a case that looks sharp. Apple sure does know how to design, don’t they? The Apple TV looks classy while the Roku set-top-box is lacking in the “aesthetically pleasing” category. Another downside for Netflix subscribers who purchase a box is that there’s no HD support quite yet. It is easy to set-up though and automatically syncs your Instant Queue says PCMag.com who reviewed it and gave it a 4 out of 5.
For any of you that are Netflix subscribers, is this box something worth buying given its affordable price and are the movies that Netflix offers for streaming ones you’d want to watch?
Thanks for the tip Omar!

Aww. This is adorable. Lilly and Leon Mackie play dress up with their little kid Orson and turn him into baby versions of Luke Skywalker, baby Batman, baby Macaulay Culkin, baby Castaway and so forth so that they could recreate scenes from famous movies. You’ll see mom, dad and child pose for photos of baby versions of Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Die Hard, Terminator, Jaws and so many more classics. Orson is going to grow up awesome.

You might not want to admit it but your favorite action movie is pretty corny. But it’s okay! Because they’re fun and they’re ridiculous and there are explosions and they’re quite wonderful at wasting two hours. But when you only see little bits of the movie? Especially just the punchline? It gets quite embarrassing. Just watch this supercut of the punchline of 100 action movies. It’s great.
