Netflix to drop some movies and series on May 1

One movie that won’t be offered after April 30 is The Notebook, based on a Nicholas Sparks novel and starring Rachel McAdams, Ryan Gosling, Gena Rowlands and James Garner.

Although I consider Sparks the equivalent of a romance novelist, and the film certainly does have a tear-jerking quality; still, all in all, the acting, the scenery, and the way the story comes together by the end make this a decent choice for the weekend..

Sorry - should have asked before posting info on it. As you could tell from my lackluster endorsement, there’s no great loss.
