Staff Picks: Streaming Starz Digital Media movies I am excited to watch from my library

You may have recently read our Weekly eHighlights Streaming Video edition. I don't know about you, but it got me really jazzed to get streaming!

Here are a few videos you can find in the Starz Digital Media catalog that I can't wait to watch from my library:

  • Our Idiot Brother: I love Judd Apatow-esque comedies. Also, Paul Rudd is a comedic gem. This will probably be the first one I watch.
  • The Master: Loosely based on Scientology—and starring Phillip Seymour Hoffman. I'm sold.
  • Battle Royale: Okay, so this movie I have already seen and it totally freaked me out; however, if you liked Hunger Games and Lord of the Flies, then you may enjoy this—although it is much more gruesome and gorier.
  • The Evil Dead: A cult-classic! Scary and hokey at the same time—a ground-breaking film for the genre.
  • Tanner Hall: I must have looked at this title a million times—now is my chance to see it, for free, from my library! Coming of age… New England all girls' school… Mean Girls-like—I'm in!
  • Silver Linings Playbook: I feel like I am the only person on the planet who has not seen this yet, and it has J-Law and she can do no wrong.
  • Happythankyoumoreplease: Directed by and starring Josh Radnor. I did not watch: How I Met Your Mother, but I know it has received many accolades. For those missing the show—check out Josh Radnor's (Ted on HIMYM), directorial debut.
