New to Netflix - December 2012
Happy holidays! Joseph here, and I’m bringing you the new stuff to look for on Netflix Instant Streaming for the month of December. We got some good stuff coming out, so go ahead and grab some hot chocolate and a piece of candy cane, and let’s get into it.
12/1 – The Last of the Mohicans (1992) – When rugged frontiersman Hawkeye (Daniel Day-Lewis) saves the Munro sisters – two newly arrived English settlers – from a Huron ambush, he ends up in the midst of the battle between the British and the French for control of the American colonies.

Well, that’s all I’ve got for now. If you have any questions or comments, or if I missed anything, please let me know in the comments section below. On behalf of all of us at VaginaCon.com, I’d like to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas, and a prosperous and happy New Year. Or, a very Happy Hanukkah, or a Joyous Kwanzaa, or if you don’t do any of those…enjoy the movies!
Until next time…
I remember loving The Presidio, but forget what it’s about. I wonder if I watch it again, if I will remember anything about it, or if it will be new. I really need season 7 of How I Met Your Mother, and still hoping that I watch the English Patient that Colin Firth will crash his plane in a wet shirt.
The Adventures of Tintin was a pretty fun movie. Even if it’s just for background noise, I recommend it. John Williams is a maestro, and his score is spectacular.
