No need to waste time endlessly browsing—here's the entire lineup of new movies and TV shows streaming on Netflix this month.
I saw "Surviving Paradise" with my twelve year old son, after hearing that the San Francisco Parent Teacher association endorsed it.
I also saw Jan Wahl the reviewer for KRON tv and she really liked it.
I think "Surviving Paradise" was a bit stereotypical, but my son loved it and I thought the kids playing in the movie were fantastic.
Overall, I give it a thumbs up and think that with all the crap our children watch, it is good to see a film with so much humanity in it.
