One extreme plus about cable, is our ability to catch IFC Films On Demand from our provider. It allows you to watch independent films the day they hit theaters, from the comfort of your own home. We've seen some surprisingly good movies from tuning in this way.

On Saturday we watched "Brief Interviews with Hideous Men" which I was immediately sold on, because not only was it directed by John Krasinski from 'The Office' fame (whom I love) but it starred him as well. Not to mention acting from Ben Gibbard, frontman of the fantastic Death Cab for Cutie.

I'm not going to go so far as to recommend it to you readers, because as much as I wanted to, it was late and I only made it half-way through the movie and I'm not sure I was 'getting' it. But alas, it's definitely worth checking out the features if you have this ability courtesy of your cable box.
