What's New on Netflix: October Releases

Just in case you might not want to spend all of October watching endless re-runs of installments from the Friday the 13th, Saw and Scream movie franchises, here are a few films that will be joining the Netflix line-up in October.

There's no particular theme here, just a random pick of upcoming films. Well, we say random. We have to admit that we very purposefully stayed away from Little Man (available October 6). Even with a cast made up of usually funny folks like Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Tracy Morgan, John Witherspoon and Kerry Washington, Little Man is an ugly, ugly train wreck.

So we start off with Bad Johnson. (We told you this was random.) Huck Botko directed and Jeff Tetreaultby wrote the screenplay for this comedy-slash-morality tale about Rich Johnson, a man (Cam Gigandet) who can't keep it in his pants. Nothing new there. The twist here is that the "it" detaches itself from his body and becomes a walking/talking/sexing jack-ass (Nick Thune). Rich spends the movie trying to figure out how to put his penis back where it belongs and discovering life when he's not ruled by his dick. (Available October 1.)
