The (very grey) sun is setting on April, which means it's once again time to pay rent, purchase a new unlimited MetroCard and shed tears over the films that will be ripped from Netflix's streaming services. This month's fallen soldiers include Mean Girls (happy 10th anniversary!), Harold And Maude and A Very Brady Sequel. But on the bright side, Kill Bill Vols. 1 & 2 are on their way, and Center Stage isn't going ANYWHERE, so get on that while Peter Gallagher's eyebrows are still fresh.

Here are the films that will be making their way into our hearts, minds and computers, starting tomorrow:

There's some good stuff in here, what with all the Godzilla films, Bond flicks and Backdraft. And there will be more of Joshua Jackson's face on the Internet thanks to the addition of Cursed. This is a terrible movie about werewolves that you should watch anyway, because Joshua Jackson is the perfect virtual boyfriend, and isn't that what Netflix is for in the first place?

Tonight is also your last night to experience both Brian's Song AND the 2001 remake of Brian's Song, so be prepared to time your tears to the spatter of Noah's Flood against your window. Here are the films that are leaving us after tonight, ne'er to return (until Netflix renews their streaming contracts).
