Excellent. I kinda liked the first season. Not the greatest thing in the world, but hopefully the improve on it.

The first season wasn't bad IMO. The only thing that got me was there was a span of 4 or 5 episodes where nothing at all happened. It ended with enough promise that I'll check out season two though.

I'm impressed with how Netflix keeps coming up with ways to fuck their apps/interface even further. The latest ipad version is a fucking joke: episode lists show 3 1/2 episodes before you have to scroll, the play button target could hardly be any smaller and the whole app is slow as fuck. And is if that were not enough, you also have to deal with their shitty, slow animations, when the app isn't lagging.

What's sad is that they their UI as a competitive advantage...

I definitely agree with the listing stuff. They need to expand the pop up if they are going to put that much space in the general information across the top.

I haven't really noticed much of a lag problem though.

About time Turner got more seasons of the Cartoon Network stuff up there. It's still way behind (why bother incrementally releasing seasons of a show that you no longer air, like Samurai Jack or Johnny Bravo?) but it's better than not having them.

There are some good movies in the added today lists. Unfortunately I think I've already seen every one in there I would want to watch. I'll probably watch Underworld: Rise of the Lycans again though...I've already watched all of them in the series a few times so one more won't hurt.

I'm going to try and make things easier for Canada Netflix gaf to get the info they want faster (this will also help those with VPN's). As opposing to having to backtrack through posts. So from now on, this post (#13) will have Canadian recently added content.

I'm going to PM a mod to see if they could delete the posts before it, so that it will be post #2.

that really sets a shitty precedent as well. Having to pay ISPs to not throttle usage for your customers is awful.

I don't know when it happened, but Mystery Incorporated (the new animated Scooby series) finally got the second season. Kind of stoked, so my kids can watch it.

Went up this month. I ended up buying the DVDs last summer as I couldn't wait ;) It gets weirder, more of the on-going arc mixed with some really good movie nods (love the Twin Peaks ones especially).

Just watched The Crash Reel (Netflix Mexico). Amazing documentary.

The Crash Reel tells the story of a sport and the risks that athletes face in reaching the pinnacle of their profession. This is Kevin Pearce’s story, a celebrated snowboarder who sustained a brain injury in a trick gone wrong and who now aims, against all the odds, to get back on the snow.

GI Joe Retaliation was rather enjoyable. Was expecting pure trash but got a fun action movie. The Rock is a charismatic fellow, and it's always good to see Ray Stevenson (Rome) as a villain. Ninja stuff was cool too. Probably an 8.0. Not as bad as the reviews painted it out to be.

Enjoyed it more than Short Term 12. Which I found to be depressing and boring.

I watched Insidious 2. I didn't like it. I thought they were trying to hard to be clever. It wasn't as scary as the first one. The dad was creepy in the majority of his scenes. Overall, I think this should be skipped.

Agreed, the first one felt so novel and genuinely frightening, but I wasn't scared of the sequel at all. Felt like a rehash of the first one. Not enough of a new story.

I liked it and never saw the first. The Rock can save anything.

i dunno guys, The Rock is awesome but he had a LOT to carry as the only charismatic guy on that bland as hell team. the rest was just unmemorable. It's a step up from the Rock-less first movie though. it's got that going for it

It wasn't only that it felt more of the same, but the ghost/demon thing wasn't anywhere near as interesting as the demon from the first one. The first one had a better atmosphere and was creepy.

The Internship (Canada) was a lot better than I thought it would be. It looked like it was going to be crap in the previews (to me) but, I ended up enjoying it.
Click to expand...

I have to agree. I was iffy on it because of the previews. It is a nice 'fee' good movie. A little formulaic at times, but I was laughing throughout the movie. Really the only part I didn't like was when Lyle is first introduced to the group. Definitely recommend it.

Agree. I'm not sure if I think it should be skipped but, if you go in thinking it will be as good as the first you'll be massively disappointed. I don't think a movie like Insidious can have a good sequel. If it can, it is really hard to get it right because almost all movies like it have crap sequels.

No idea when it was added but checked out Rapture Palooza last night. Chock full of recognizable comedians and actors and they all held their own but it was definitely a bit odd. Overall it was entertaining but really uneven.

Also watched The Family. Pretty good but not great. Some strange shifts in tone thoughout the movie but good performances from a stacked cast. What comedy there is is definitely darker in nature. If you're interested in this one at all, I'd suggest you check it out when you have nothing else to do or as a second screen viewing really (meaning a kind of background watch while you're doing something else).

When I use the Netflix app on my iPad to cast an episode to my PS3, it doesn't automatically continue with the next episode when the credits start rolling, like Netflix normally would. I have to start it manually. Is it designed like that or am I missing something?

All the mobile apps stop after a single episode. Only the PC and the Box versions (Consoles, Roku, Blu Ray players, etc...) do that.

Maybe I wasn't in the mood or I did something wrong but I thought Insidious is one of the worst movies I've seen. And this is coming from someone who enjoyed Drag Me to Hell.

I have to agree here. I saw it over the weekend. Dwayne is the only thing the movie has going for it. It was weird not seeing him in his hulk size.

I watched The Frozen last night. It's OK. I found it really predictable and the actors kind of sucked but, it's not a terrible movie. I can't recommend watching it though.

I watched Frozen earlier this week. While it was predictable, I found it enjoyable. I especially liked the musical aspect of it. It was good.

Sorry guys and gals, I meant The Frozen. The Disney movie Frozen I have not seen yet. I will have to at some point though because the family is all about it.

I'll just offer an apology, blame it on on a case of the Mondays, and move on...lol.
