Streaming for Students
With the school year just starting, stress and responsibility will begin to pile up as well. In honor of that, here are the best and worst of what you can stream so you can push off doing homework just a little longer.
New on Netflix:
If you’re looking for a hidden drama that is amazing, check out “Up in the Air,” just released this September on Netflix. This is the story of the corporate veteran (George Clooney) training the newest rookie (Anna Kendrick) as she changes how business is done and could even jeopardize his own job. If you’re babysitting or just want to cheer up, make sure to check out Monsters University (releasing the 11th of this month). This prequel follows Sully and Mike before they worked, back in college. This movie is great and, being college students, it’s easy to relate.
Hulu Review:
The best news about Hulu now is that they are offering their service free of ads (for a little more money). If you’re like me, though you’ll have to settle for the free service you can get off the internet. Premiering and continuing this month is the third season of Seth Myers’ superhero comedy “The Awesomes”. If you enjoy comedy and want cameos by SNL stars, be sure to check it out. Another comedy series that’ll be wrapping up this month is “The Hot Wives of Las Vegas,” a spoof of reality TV. It can be risque, but is definitely spot-on. Additionally, new shows are starting up later this month, so now is the time to get caught up.
From A to Z with Amazon:
Found footage horror films are all the rage these days, but before that, “The Blair Witch Project” started it all. Just added to Amazon Prime this classic film not only started the genre, but will be sure to terrify you and make you think twice when camping in the woods.
I hope this has been helpful for you. If there is anything I forgot or that you think I shouldn’t have included, let me know in the comments below.
