LupRocks Netflix Picks

Feeling a bit overloaded with the holiday madness? Already sick to death of the chilly weather? Too pooped to even think about going out to that office holiday party?  Sometimes all you need is a nice luxurious break from the hustle and bustle to help get your head screwed back on straight. Unfortunately, with the writers strike in Hollywood still underway, curling up on your couch to watch some TiVo might cause more frustration than enjoyment.  This is a perfect time to seize the opportunity and update your Netflix queue with some releases -- it's just about as easy as setting your TiVo, we promise. 

Here's a list of our top Netflix picks featuring the hottest jewelry and accessories from LupRocks designers: 

The talk of the town seems to be this new release, The Nanny Diaries starring Scarlett Johansson.  The Nanny Diaries is the screen adaptation of the immensely popular book, in which Scarlett Johansson stars as the nanny to a child with two dysfunctional parents played by Laura Linney and Paul Giamatti.

If indie dramas are your thing, Interview starring Sienana Miller and Steve Buschemi is a perfect pick about a jaded journalist forced to interview a soap star.

If you're in the mood for a romantic comedy, No Reservations, starring Catherine Zeta-Jones and Arron Eckhart will be sure to charm!

If what you're really craving is a goofy, laugh-your-guts-out comedy, then may we suggest, You, Me and Dupree, starring Kate Hudson, Owen Wilson and Matt Dillon, in the weirdest domestic situation since the odd couple.

And finally if you are simply indecisive, may we recommend the always failsafe, always fabulous option:  Sex and the City!  Even if you can recite every episode by heart, there's still nothing quite as charming or entertaining as watching the fab four live out their New York fairy-tale lives.

Hope you enjoy our Netflix picks!  Make sure to keep an eye out for Luprocks designers' jewelry and accessories!  Now if you just tell Fresh Direct to deliver some popcorn and candy, you can stay cozy and entertained for days! It just doesn't get any more hassle-free than that!
 

Stay Tuned?

We laugh and we cry. We repeat lines and we discuss plots. We take it personally when our fave primetime characters make poor decisions.   Now it is the writers themselves of the Writer’s Guild of America who are taking things personally.  The Problem: Writers want their dues from the media mediums of the future.  The Real Problem:  What will we watch?! Well that depends on who you are…Here is the breakdown:

                              

The first to suffer are all of the night owls whose favorite shows like Connan and Colbert depend on daily scripts.  Although these funny-men were once the genius behind the jokes they told, legally hosts can only contribute to as much of the script as they did pre-strike.  Get ready for re-runs and some stretched-out improvising like what was seen in the 1988 five month strike.  Animated shows with productions a year in advance such as Family Guy and The Simpsons are in the clear for now.  Soap operas generally have a month long episode back-up.  And then there is prime time. Most long running shows have four to five episodes hidden up their sleeves, while some newer shows have had to put a halt on productions. So what will happen with Serena and Blair?!?  What lies in the fate of Lost?  Only time will tell.  Until then – and it pains us to say – you may have to rely on reality TV, which remains completely unaffected.
