Prime Viewing

For $79.00 a year, I am a member of Amazon Prime.  And I'll tell you, it's worth it.  I get free or two day shipping on most of my orders, and I get to watch unlimited streaming movies.  As many as I want. 

I have the app on my iPad, and I can also watch videos through the internet setup on the TV.  It's pretty freakin' cool.  In the last month, while we were sitting around waiting on others to do their jobs so we could do ours, eating dinner, or just lounging around, Ed and I watched the following films (the blurbs are all from IMDB.com):

Affliction:  A deeply troubled small town cop investigates a suspicious hunting death while events occur that cause him to mentally disintergrate.  (Nick Nolte, Sissy Spacek, James Coburn, Willen Dafoe)

From Prada to Nada:  A Latina spin on Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensibility," where two spoiled sisters who have been left penniless after their father's sudden death are forced to move in with their estranged aunt in East Los Angeles.  (Camilla Belle, Alexa Vega, Wilmer Valderrama)

The Answer Man:  A reclusive author of spiritual books, is pursued for advice by a single mother and a man fresh out of rehab. (Jeff Daniels, Lauren Graham)

Rare Birds:  A down-and-out restaurateur and his neighbor hatch a plan to lure luminaries to their small Newfoundland town.  (William Hurt, Andy Jones, Molly Parker)

The Lightkeepers:  Set in the year 1912 on Cape Cod, a lighthouse keeper who has disavowed any association with females, must deal with the appearance of two attractive women who move into a nearby cottage for the summer.  (Richard Dreyfuss, Mamie Gummer, Blythe Danner) 

Henry’s Crime:  Released from prison for a crime he didn't commit, an ex-con targets the same bank he was sent away for robbing.  (James Caan, Keanu Reeves, Vera Farmiga)

The Conspirator: Mary Surratt is the lone female charged as a co-conspirator in the assassination trial of Abraham Lincoln. As the whole nation turns against her, she is forced to rely on her reluctant lawyer to uncover the truth and save her life.  (Robin Wright, James McAvoy, Tom Wilkinson, Kevin Kline, Evan Rachel Wood)
