Scream 1-3 was great.. better than what I was expecting a milked franchise to turn out to be. Gonna watch the 4th soon.

The "before" movies of Ethan Hawke and Julie Delphy was wonderful. Probably one of the few trilogies I can remember where not one movie is terrible.

Friend Mak, have you seen The Chaser? Just noticed that it's on Netflix. One of my favorite Korean action flicks. If you're reading this and not named Mak, you should watch it too. It puts "Jack Reacher" and the like to shame. Be sure to reply after you've watched it and tell everyone that Heel, a man of impeccable movie taste, was absolutely right.

Yup, it is a great movie.

What's a cheap way to get Netflix to a tv.? Netflix member and I watch in my gaming room through my PS4. Want to watch in the bed room.

Roku or Chrome Cast probably.

Unless you have a PC near your TV in the bedroom, then get an HDMI cable and go dual monitors on it.

The Last Stand: I remember when the first trailer for this move came out, thinking it looked dumb. I put this on randomly and I'm so glad I did. This was a great action movie. Arnold, while getting up there in age, was great in this. It was good seeing him lead in an action movie again.

The action is almost non-stop and entertaining to watch. There is blood and over the top kills. Cheesy one liners you come to expect from an Arnold movie. You will have to turn your brain off completely because there are plot holes and you will have to ignore a lot of convenient things that go on in the movie.

The cast is good. For some reason I thought this was an Arnold and Johnny Knoxville movie. Fully recommend it if you are looking for a 80's action movie.

I watched one of the most refreshing horror films I think I have ever seen. Seriously make time for Resolution

resolution-2012-poster.jpeg


For sake of spoilers I'm not going to go into much of the plot. The basic premise is this guy Mike gets emailed a video clip of his best friend Chris getting high in the woods and a map of where he is at. Mike goes to this cabin where Chris is squatting and hand cuffs him to a pipe in the cabin so that he can get clean. Mike begins to find strange things and people in the surrounding area and that's when shit starts to get real...

This is a must watch.

I'm hooked on House of Cards. Didn't think it would be a show I'd like, but it's compelling and Spacey is fantastic. It's like watching a modern Game of Thrones, all the shadowy alliances, and deals, and betrayals

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
Wow, I'm psyched to see An Idiot Abroad finally added. The first season was the best by far;, can't wait to watch it again.

Wondering if GAF can help me. I'm looking for Horror films that rely on suspense, not jump scares. Resolution up there looks pretty interesting ^

Any other suggestions?

Almost done with Season 3 of Chuck. I'm really enjoying this series so far. I was frustrated with a lack of character progression, but they actually had some this season and I'm happy with where the show is going.

Idiot Abroad sounds intriguing...

is it a similar brand of humor as Top Gear UK?
Click to expand...

Its basically Ricky Gervais trolling Karl Pilkington in multiple regions of the world. Making him do things for a laugh. Its awesome, I dont know if Karl is this dumb irl or if its a play to get the show ratings but man it makes me lol

edit; shame gilligans island isnt up on netflix. with the professor passing away, id rewatch them. i wanted to do the same with fresh prince when uncle phil died. netflix attend to my needs ok

Watched the first episode of "An Idiot Aboard", loved it. He was one of my favorites characters on "Derek" and I didn't know it was him in this. The episode (China) was funny. I'm with Jak that I don't know if he is really acting stupid or is dumb, but it makes for a great show.

Finally sat down and watched The Last Stand. It was a whimsical 80's throwback movie. Based on those merits alone I loved it from beginning to end. Just turn your brain off and watch some of the most campy one liners and action scenes in a film.

Watched the first "An Idiot Abroad" episode last night and am already sold. Not only do I get my favorite kind of humor, but I also get to see some interesting places. Will be watching it all for sure.

Trailer Park Boys is also damn fun. Just started season 2 and am loving it. Great characters and lots of charm. I thought it would be something I wouldn't like but I was pleasantly surprised.

The Hunt was a really good movie. Utterly nerve-wracking though.

Watched the first episode of An Idiot Abroad since everyone here started to talk about it, not a fan of Gervais (I know, I know) but it's funny to see this Karl dude completely out of his comfort zone.

Thanks for the rec; I love In Bruges so I'll check this out.

EDIT: Nevermind, apparently it's not available. Maybe I have to switch to another region (I'm in the US)?



Definitely, though you'll get varying opinions on whether you should just watch the first four seasons or tough it out and watch all eight. I'm inclined to say call it quits after the first four because there's better stuff out there you could spend your time watching, but if you do go through with it, know that the best is behind you. And do not have high expectations for the ending, because... just... yeah.



Yeah, this is somewhat annoying. I always skip ahead, but like you said, the timing is inconsistent so you never know how far to go.

I have... three episodes to go I believe. Been going through it on Crunchyroll with their free trial. I'm enjoying it, though I don't know how inclined I would have been to finish it if a couple close friends hadn't already seen it and recommended it. It's been more interesting lately, though - really curious to see how things end up.

Cool to see it's finally on Netflix. I heard the subtitles were messed up, though (I'm assuming typos, grammatical errors, and such). Anybody know if that's true?
Click to expand...

I do not know. The subtitles make sense at least on the Netflix stream. There certainly is an occasional awkward translation, but it is never super crazy or distracting.

The show gets a little bit spoiled by Gervais' trolling. There are some episodes where Karl is actually enjoying his trip and Ricky ends up throwing a minor hissy fit at him like a child who gets upset because nobody fell for his prank. Those moments aside, it's a great show to watch.

The one trolling bit that had me laughing hard, was Ricky texting Karl "70p" because that is how much it would cost Karl to receive the text lol.

I saw White House Down. It's not on Netflix, but I mention it because it really emphasized how much better Olympus Has Fallen is.
