Hump day getting you down? How about taking some time to relax for an hour or two, minimize that spreadsheet window, and load up Netflix InstantWatch for something creatively stimulating? Here are three films just added to InstantWatch this week that you can't miss.

DEADGIRL

Mixing coming-of-age, gender power-play and zombie horror to disturbing heights (or lows, I should say), this Cronenberg-meets-Hughes flick really ought to be checked out. It was one of my favorites back in the San Francisco Independent Film Festival this year, and we've just reviewed the DVD release. Watch it here.


MILLER'S CROSSING

I not only consider Miller's Crossing to be the Coens' best, but it's also one of the best American gangster films ever made. Check out the Coenesque trailer if you need more confirmation. Watch it here.




NERDCORE RISING

While the spine of this documentary is following prominent nerdcore artist—and one of the best rappers working today, period—MC Frontalot on his first tour, Nerdcore Rising also delves into the present and future of Nerdcore Hip Hop; why the geek subgenre is rising in popularity and how it coincides with mainstream hip hop. Watch it here.
