probably cost them less to license content. also some content might be locked to other services and or content providers don't want to license because netflix is a direct competitor to them. combination of all that really.
We don't even have a trailer for Between, do we?
Maybe if you lump all non-US regions together. Otherwise? Nah.
It's not. The US has like double the amount of content compared to the 2nd most, Canada. You just think it's better because when you first look it's different.

It isn't, maybe when it comes to recent big budget movies. But when looking at older movies or shows and lesser budget movies I think the US has by far the best offering. And you are comparing something you are used to. Also you may mentally lump all the regions together so that you compare the US to multiple regions at once.
If I had to choose between the US Netflix or a single different region, US Netflix any time.
Fortunately, there's no need to choose.
Trailer hits this week.
Ghost World was a blind watch with fairly a lot of checks on ICM didnt expect the type of movie coming from the movie title. A young scarlet johannson and thoro birch with Steve Buscem really make a enjoyable movie
Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny much like most jack black movies i didnt really care for it. i think its his acting style that just rubs me the wrong way
Saw 4: standard saw fare decent to a point though
X-Men: Days of Future Past finally watched and and enjoyed it
I shall make another update whenever I reach 4 or 5 new movies watched

Face/Off (Canada): This was the first time I ever watched it. I figured it was a classic I should watch.
What a ridiculous film. And I say that in the best, possible way. This was downright amazing. From the crazy premise to everything under the sun exploding, it was a magical ride. I think this was my first John Woo film too. Great action film, made even better by two crazy actors
Watch this.
Kings of Summer (Canada): Excellent little indie flick. It was well written. All the characters were great, but the best character has to be, Moises Arias as Biaggio. He was too funny in this and I was laughing every time he opened his mouth. Nick Offerman stole some scenes as well. The score was fantastic as well. All around a great film.

Special Agent Oso is legit. Son is loving it. Another one of those edutainment shows, great for pre-schoolers.
Makes for a good break from Wallykazam.

Oh my goodness I'm going to watch 9 seasons of The X Files. Time to quit my job.
Wasn't the best thing eva but it had a cool story. Ending was, uh odd and I could have stood to see the kid eaten but wasn't bad overall.

The film uses Horror as a vehicle but it's basically a giant metaphor about Depression and Loss.

Are they gonna do more than the first 13 eps?..... Scully in HD <3__<3
I want to say S3 and up is already HD. I know at some point it changed when I watched it last year.

The 1st season is all HD, and some random further episodes. For instance, I know the first 3 episodes of Season 2 are SD but episodes 4 & 5 are HD.

Horror does not = scary. I haven't ever heard anyone say it's scary.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
Surprised to see The Homesman added already. Will watch soon.
I knew it would be this scene, haha.

Yeah, it's actually a really entertaining movie, great ensemble cast. But I love Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler. I'm watching it again right now
Exactly what I thought - how did they convince a studio to make it? "We have a rom-com but anytime the audience starts to feel too comfortable we'll throw in some elements of Airplane."
Really enjoyed it though.
Can't reccomend the film Ronin enough. I would have never of this fantastic film had I not heard Clarkdon quickly mention it in an episode of Top Gear.
How this film isn't as well known as the likes of Heat and Point Break is a shame. For me, it was a far better film than those two. I've never seen a film with such attention to detail and gritty realism without getting bogged down by it. And has a great plot, cast, pacing and cinematography all in the same package.
And obviously, some of the best car chases put to film. Makes Fast And Furious look like Ronald McDonald chasing the Hamburglar.
Edit: Forgot to mention, among a lot of regions - you can watch film on the Brazilian Netflix.

Soo guys is the first month free based on accounts or the credit card used..?
I used my card on my cousins account a few months back and it expired the end month on it was 4/15 we'll I started my own new account with anew email and used my new issued card and they charged me the 8.99 for my first month on this account. So is it once you use a card with them you can't get the first free with the card number again??

imdb says there's a graphic boob scene in it, so yes.
Seems as good a reason as any!

Hell yes!
I will admit, when the movie first came out and I was in high school, I only wanted to see it because of the hot lesbian sex scene between Gina Gershon and Jennifer Tilly. I wasn't ready for it to also be an awesome thriller on top of that. The movie really is fantastic, and very tense. I would love to see the Wachowski's go back and do something small scale like this again.
