You know things are dire at Netflix when the Big Red Streaming Monolith is losing not one but TWO Nicolas Cage movies in a single month. What kind of world are we living in?!
Yes, it's that time of the month when the streaming service announces what movies and TV shows are leaving – though considering how little outside programming Netflix has these days thanks to a focus on Originals (and other studios gobbling their properties up for their own streaming services), there's again not too much to report anymore. All the movies and TV shows will soon be in their own individual streaming silos, costing in total about the same as cable did while you no longer have control over what you own and can watch at any time because physical media's getting faded out (because why make $30 once when you can make $8 a month). And name a movie or TV show you like. Any movie or TV show. Yep, it's getting a reboot as a streaming series.
What a revolution streaming turned out to be ...
Anyways, what better way to ignore that our streaming future is here – and terrible – than by watching the TV shows and movies that soon won't be available on Netflix, including iconic classics ("Taxi Driver," "Enter the Dragon"), indie conversation starters ("Spring Breakers") and romances to warm up the remaining winter ("Silver Linings Playbook," "Sex and the City"). There's also the Nic Cage double feature of "Ghost Rider" and "USS Indianapolis" ... if you dare.

As much as it is a gigantic cliché to say that one has always had a passion for film, Matt Mueller has always had a passion for film. Whether it was bringing in the latest movie reviews for his first grade show-and-tell or writing film reviews for the St. Norbert College Times as a high school student, Matt is way too obsessed with movies for his own good.
When he's not writing about the latest blockbuster or talking much too glowingly about "Piranha 3D," Matt can probably be found watching literally any sport (minus cricket) or working at - get this - a local movie theater. Or watching a movie. Yeah, he's probably watching a movie.
