What I like about Netflix is that movies get recommended based on what you have been renting. I always scan them and look for things that sound interesting. Winter passing is a good flick for a rainy night when there is nothing going and you feel a bit depressed to begin with. It is dark, moody, and I must say interesting. Plot: Girl returns home after famous mother dies to find famous father nearly dead of grief and cohabiting with 23-year-old Shelly and lost cause Colbert (Will Ferrell)...everybody learns a little bit about themselves.
What I don't like about Netflix is I think they pay somebody to sit on my movies for two days before they send them out. When we first joined movies came quickly...now it seem like about 5 days between the mailout and the next movie arriving. Anyway,
Undertaking Betty was another neat flick that the magic of netflix algorithms sent my way. Plot: two lonely souls find each other over death and funerals; comic relief is provide by Christopher Walken who plays an American mortician that wants to put the 'fun' back in funerals. Great movie when accompanied by 2-3 good stouts. Good movie with diet coke.

Ummm... so who exactly was cohabitating with whom in this movie?
The premise of Untertaking Betty sounds pretty cool, especially after you throw in the Walken curve ball. But these "under the radar" films seem to always end in a "huh?" moment, when you wonder if they just ran out of film :) "And all the characters learn a little bit about themselves" certainly wouldn't sell on a movie poster, huh?
Well all three are cohabiting and carnal knowledge of each other is hinted at, but never verified in the move ;-) ....a teaser
The movie is worth the rental just for Walken...there are several interesting funerals...but the one with the Star Trek theme had me laughing for days :-)
