Every Friday we're combing the depths of what looks good on Netflix, Amazon Prime or Hulu and paring it with a snack or cocktail that is appropriately delish. Your weekend movie plans are made.
Nightcrawler
Where to watch: Netflix
We're dipping a toe into the Halloween season this weekend with a movie that is definitely gives us the creeps—just not what we'd consider the "traditional" Halloween kind. Nightcrawler features a seriously gaunt Jake Gyllenhaal as Leo Bloom, a something's-not-quite-right freelance local news cameraman, who quickly takes advantage of the sex-and-violence-sells mentality to an upsetting degree. The film also stars Rene Russo as a his footage-hungry news director and Bill Paxton as his rival cameraman. The film is a dizzying, unsettling ride full of despicable acts and important questions about the nature of what's considered news. Gyllenhaal has never been better or creepier. You owe it to his drastic weight loss to give the movie a try.
One particularly messed-up scene happens over a meal of Mexican food, and while the contents of the scene may churn the stomach, tacos seem a great idea for powering through it. Be sure to eat extra—we don't want any gaunt Gyllenhaals here.
