Barnyard (2006)Animated fare about a dairy cow with a wild side. Starring the voices of Kevin James, Danny Glover and Courteney Cox, this mediocre family fare will at least offer something for the kiddies in a month that is slightly anemic in as far as Netflix offerings for the younger sect.
Bound (1996)Before the Wachowskis began making nonsense like “Jupiter Ascending,” they made this amazing noir thriller starring Gina Gershon and Jennifer Tilly as a mafia gal pal and an ex-con who team to steal $2 mil from the mob.
