With a new month upon us, the good people at Netflix have decided to have a little spring cleaning of their library and in doing so, they've added a few very decent TV shows and movies for viewers to enjoy.
As always, the online streaming giant consistently add new titles to their library throughout the month, but they've started September on a very solid footing.
Here are some of the titles that piqued our interest.
Zoolander
Plot: Ben Stiller is Derek Zoolander, an intellectually challenged but bone structure-blessed male model who's despondent after being eclipsed in popularity by an equally vacuous rival, Hansel (Owen Wilson). Upon his reluctant retirement, Derek is invited to a day spa by previously standoffish fashion designer Jacobim Mugatu (Will Ferrell), where the befuddled model is brainwashed by the mysterious Katinka (Milla Jovovich) into assassinating the prime minister of Malaysia.
Rotten Tomatoes rating: 64% (yep, it's that low)
Watch it because : The petrol fight. Genius.
Sudden Death
Plot: A former fireman takes on a group of terrorists holding the Vice President and others hostage during the seventh game of the NHL Stanley Cup finals.
Watch it because: It's Die Hard at the Stanley Cup with Van Damme. It's as great/terrible as you'd imagine.
Don't Be A Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood
Plot: A parody of several U.S. films about being in the 'Hood', for instance Boyz n the Hood, South Central, Menace II Society, Higher Learning and Juice.

Zodiac
