| Minya, can you hear me? |
If you like action and adventure, then this is your month. Perhaps in an effort to compete with Hollywood's big spring releases, Netflix is bulking up on its escapist fare. From the high cheese of
Fantastic Voyage and all things
Godzilla (including
Rodan!) to the thrills of the
Romancing the Stone flicks and the artful splatter of Quentin Tarantino's
Kill Bill Vol. 1 and
Vol. 2, there are any number of ways to get your streaming action groove on. Oh, and did I mention the latest return of Bond,
James Bond? Yep, 007 is back again (some of him, anyway), although if recent history is any guide, he won't be around for long�so take advantage of that license to kill before it inevitably gets revoked. (Click
here for an earlier rundown of select Bond titles.)

| Raquel, I'm over here! |
There's a little something for every taste, from every decade since the 1950s. Want to gawk at a miniaturized Raquel Welch, shrunk down and wetsuited to enter a dying man's bloodstream? Apparently, a lot of people did in 1966, which is where the aforementioned
Fantastic Voyage comes in. Feeling the urge to bone up on the many moods and manifestations of Godzilla before the latest remake hits the big screen? Then plan to spend a lot of time sitting in front of the little screen, because over half a dozen
Godzilla films have reemerged from the earth's core after being buried in January. Most of these are pretty crappy (including what's arguably the worst of all,
Godzilla's Revenge), but if you take your monsters seriously�and prefer to avoid a talking baby Godzilla
�then stick with the first installment,
Godzilla, King of the Monsters (1956) or 1964's
Godzilla vs. Mothra. Or, go ahead, queue up
Godzilla's Revenge. As long as you're prepared to uncork a bottle of Awwws (and guff-awws) to randomly hurl at your screen. Talking baby monsters, indeed...
