Awesome, I love watching this show when I'm flipping around different channels and catching it on Destination America. Now they need to add Mountain Monsters, Monsters & Mysteries in America, When Ghosts Attack, and A Haunting... I watch a lot of these type of shows. 😊
I also wanted to jump in here and thank GK86. This thread is an invaluable source for all the latest updates/happenings. Thanks for helping us to keep up with everything new.

I just want to second this as having this thread as a resource is greatly appreciated.

I liked the beginning but then it kind of goes nowhere. Joaquin's performance pulls the whole thing together and makes it worth watching. I thought Amy Adams was totally miscast. I can't take her seriously in a serious role, she's way too campy. I expected more out The Master after watching There Will Be Blood.
Started two things last night I doubt I'll continue:
Luther:
While it seemed decent, the British accents are thick with this one and it made it difficult to follow at times. I might go back at some point when I'm more awake, but it's hard for me to follow thick British accents like that.
Knights of Sidonia:
I knew going in I wouldn't be a fan because I'm not a fan of mech anime. I figured, what the hell, I'll give it a try anyway. In the first episode alone I saw a lot of the hallmarks of that genre and quickly lost interest.

I would stick with Luther. The first episode is admittedly very "British crime" in tone, but it gets better & more twisted - trust me.
I'm slogging through Knights and yeah, it's pretty cliche-ridden. It's basically Attack on Titan and Battlestar Galactica. I wish Netflix picked a better anime to put their "original" tag on it.

Stop at Season 2, though. Season 3 is like 78% snuff gore horror and then every few scenes Luther shows up and throws something and then it's a dumb ass slasher movie again.
Out of the Furnace was an enjoyable movie , but I feel with the cast they had they missed on the movie becoming something that would make lists.
Yep, you can just see how the thread falls apart when he was banned, it was chaos, anarchy and we were all lost. Stop getting banned!
edit; rip saturday disc delivery, anyone got a recent number how many subs still has the disc delivery and possibly how much its costing netflix to ship. be nice if they focused that money on streaming.

Is Netflix Canada ever going to add Season 1 (and hopefully 2 as well) of Arrow? I find it utterly ridiculous that a good amount of the show is filmed in Vancouver (and Amell himself is Canadian), yet the team can't be bothered to put it up for us to watch. Hopefully by the premiere of Season 3 they will have the two seasons up.
At least I can still go through American Netflix to watch S1, but it's still very annoying.

I could not make it 5 minutes into the first episode. The car scene involving cutting and sex was just not my bag.
Perfect! Just finished the first two there and almost went out to buy the DVDs.

Yeah the star-rating predictions are very good, although the recommendations are strange - why suggest a 2-star movie if they know I'll give it 2 stars?

I stopped pretty early last time, but now I'm getting into it. Just really wanna know what exactly is going on in this show ( story wise I mean) kinda mysterious
Really enjoyed The Master. Hoffman and Phoenix are excellent and the film is beautifully shot. There are a lot of different themes you could pull from this and I've enjoyed reading some commentary after I watched it. The thing that jumped out at me was the whole
dynamic and how Hoffman played it here. Read something where that relationship was compared to politics and I thought that was an interesting angle.

I can honestly say without hesitation, Pain & Gain is one of the worst movies I have ever saw in my entire life.
The entire movie was like Transformers 2 & 3 without the robots & less explosions.
Post your thoughts on it when you are done. Curious if its worth the watch.

Is there an easy way to pull up all the movies available under a certain genre, for example horror? Sometimes it's a little frustrating how much they hide their content away.

I'm not sure how long this movie has been on Netflix streaming, but has anyone seen The Grandmaster; a story about Ip Man? It doesn't have Donnie Yen in it, but I thought it was pretty good.
Also, I wish there was a way I could check my streaming Netflix settings through Chromecast. I want to know if this is Super HD or not.

Saw Zodiac for the first time over the weekend. Great film with a fantastic ( if underused) cast. Fincher is a helluva director. 5/5

I'm... enjoying this... *runs*
I need this. The algorithm used to determine what I'd like to watch is utter crap.
Speaking of crap, the Netflix app on the WiiU is the worst I've ever experience. The 360 app is still the best.

I didn't think it was terrible but, when I really got into it was when I realized that it was mostly true. I can't believe someone tried to pull that off. It was more of a, "holy fuck, someone did this" type of enjoyment for me.
I've used the WiiU app a good bit, I didn't think it was awful. It's the worst of the consoles but, it's better than the Roku experience. But, I also don't like the 360 app as much as the PlayStation ones so our tastes are different.
Also, The Banshee Chapter is a solid horror-esque movie if anyone is looking for one.

I enjoyed Pain & Gain, not sure if it was because of The Rock or not though. Either way it was an enjoyable watch.

I just wish there was a way to delete your recently-watched queue. My kids use my wife's old kindle netflix app, which doesn't allow switching between accounts. So I'm looking for where I left off in TNG but nope: Caillou, Care Bears, Mickey and the Beanstalk, ...

Fuck yes, HoW. Been waiting for S3.
I rewatched "The Day We Left Earth." Great (tv) documentary series on NASA during and after the space race. If you are remotely interested in space, it is well worth the watch.

Hunger Games II was alright. Too long (2 1/2 hours? really?) and the story is still laughably cliche. But the world is pretty cool and there are some great actors namely JLaw.
Worth a watch. The 3rd and 4th movie will probably be a bit better because it seems

Gk86 do you recommend giving hell on wheels a watch?
Without question. I think it is in the top 3 of AMC's best shows (Walking dead and Breaking Bad are the other two). The acting/characters are great. You have people you love and people you love to hate. I don't think there is one character that I couldn't stand. The plots/story arcs and set pieces are all well done.
Season 1 was strong. Season 2 is a toss up and depends on the person watching it. Simply because of what happens. But I thought it was a solid season. Probably helps that I could stream the episodes all at once and not have to wait weekly (it starts off slow).
I've abandoned my main profile to the kids for this very reason. The default app is now filled with kid shit, while my profile is safely free from all that.

Alright cool, I'll give it a go!
Is Hell on Wheels any good. I have yet to meet someone who said, "You need to watch Hell on Wheels."
