I love the service already after just a few weeks. I’m totally a movie/tv series junkie, so Netflix is great. If you want to try blockbuster’s service for free, check out my blockbuster promo code page. Anyway, I figured I’d start a weekly DebtKid pick ‘o the week from my recent Netflix picks. I tend to enjoy smaller, lesser known films and tv-series, so hopefully you’ll discover something new.

The Heart of The Game

This inspiring, very well done documentary follows the Roosevelt RoughRiders, a Seattle High School, through 5 seasons. Their crazy coach (literally, I think he’s nuts) has an unconventional approach to the sport including having no offense, and always yelling at his team to “look in their eyes!” (so they can kill their prey).

I’ll admit, I teared up a bit at the end of this movie. I’ve never been much of a girl’s basketball fan, but this movie is much more about the team, the coach, and life’s obstacles than basketball.

How Many Pennies?

DebtKid Pennies: 3 1/2 pennies out of 5

(why pennies? ’cause I’m broke).

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 86%

Instant pick ‘o the week

“The Bridge on the River Kwai” – British officer can’t “see the forest through the trees”. Classic.

Netflix has thousands of instantly available movies (ie, streaming view, DVD quality though!). Lots of oldies, but goodies, as well as some great TV series.
