I was surprised it hit Netflix so fast...well somewhat surprised. Watched a Hulu trailer like two or three weeks ago expecting it to be months out but lo and behold it was there on the list a few days ago. Looks like it was in theatres in March so that's not too far off. If you liked how campy Wolfcop was you'll like this.

I should watch this before it expires.
Watched Take Shelter, great movie. Amazing performance by Shannon and Chastain. The scene where
Hadn't even heard of this movie, but it really surprised me.
Curtis finally tells her everything and she completely breaks down... Touching stuff. The freakout in front of the community was even better
Jupiter Ascending is coming in June

Everyone said that the movie was terrible but I just had to see for myself.
Well, they were right. The movie is just so, so, so bad. Holy shit. How do you go from The Matrix to this?

Via Matrix 2 and 3?
I'm currently working through Orphan Black and enjoying it. I'm mid season 2 though and still feel like I enjoyed the first half of season one the most.
Watched it due to your post, I loved it. Really intriguing stuff. Benedict did an outstanding job. I teared up a bit when
they found out that his brother was going to be on the boat, that was about to be attacked.
Great movie.
I thought Michael Shannon was great, but the movie fell flat to me. A mixed bag for sure. There are interesting parts, but I think most of the movie was slow-paced. By the time the ending came around, I stopped caring.
I have a weak spot for slow paced drama and this one really managed to create a brooding atmosphere, with Shannon becoming more and more of a wreck. I will say that the ending was probably my least favorite part though.
Yesterday I watched The Grey. I expected a typical 'Neeson being a badass' movie, but what I got was something completely different... in the best way possible. There are a bunch of really gripping and emotional scenes here, I was really surprised how great
most of the death scenes were. The first one in the plane, then Grillo waiting for death, then the drowning scene...
They added the second season of The Americans, really should get back to it, dropped it after 4 episodes. The pilot was great, but it didn't manage to grab me after that.

I take it you're implying that those movies weren't very good? Well, watch Jupiter and you'll think they're masterpieces in comparison

I watched Parallels yesterday and thought it was pretty good too, sort of a Sliders reboot with updated FX. I hope they do more, it really deserves to be a series, maybe a straight to Netflix thing.
Anyways, if you're into sci-fi alternate world stuff, this deserves a watch.

Netflix Wants to Usher in a New Golden Age of Nonfiction TV
I enjoyed Chef's Table, so I'm all for this.

Some of those statements make me really wanna quit Netflix right now and never looking back.
But then again, my Netflux would probably disagree. :-(

I love the idea and wish them luck in their endeavor.

The new Bob Weir documentary "The Other One" is probably the most fascinating and beautiful Rockumentary on a single musician on all of Netflix. I thought I knew all the in's and out's of his story, but there is so much cool stuff that happened in that man's life that it is really a must watch for any fan of music.

[REC] 4: I went into this blind, not knowing anything other than that it took place on a boat (and only knew this due to the poster). It was okay. Not bad, not good, just ok. It doesn't come close to touching the first two, but it was a bit better than the third one.
The movie doesn't use the found footage camera work. Which, I thought, was a bad move. It turned it into an average horror flick. The atmosphere is also lacking. Very few scares as well. The "twist" (if it was suppose to be one) is dumb and just felt like lazy writing.
The story makes this feel like a real sequel to the second one. Although, it felt they were trying too hard to tie it together.
If you were a big fan of the series, it might be worth checking out. But that is a huge might. I think it is worth skipping and pretending the series stopped after the second one. I doubt I will be checking out the next one, if they make one.

Why is The X-Files not on the UK Netflix?
Because your feeble Dr. Who minded folks can't comprehend more serious sci-fi as seen through the eyes of FBI agents Mulder and Scully, of course.
Because Netflix UK hasn't purchased the rights to stream The X-Files in the UK, naturally.

It used to be on there though, I think. I'm sure I can remember seeing it and thinking "I must get round to watching that at some point" and, now that some point is here, it seems to have vanished.
Odd.

Damnit! I had 3 episodes left in Ghost Hunt but they took it down. WTF? So pissed.

Question, I now have to start paying for Netflix myself since my uncle and his wife no longer use it (he let me use his account).
The $7.99 option doesn't have HD compared to the $8.99 option? Or is it purely based on the internet connection.

Got it, thanks.
When did they start this? I thought there was only 1 price for streaming?
Mid/late last year. They wanted to give those people with crappy connections an option.

Paddington is awesome. Can't be said enough.
Halt and Catch Fire is a good start.

My wife and I really enjoyed that show. It got a bit slow and shitty in the middle, but it finished well. The new season starts this weekend I think.
Considering I thought the first few episodes were fast and shitty, sounds like a bailed out at the right time.
Yea...kind of lame but yea it ends. I still think the first season was best and subsequent seasons were each a bit worse. Damn near stopped in season 4 but 5 was a bit better. Glad I watched it through but won't be revisiting it.

season 1 was legit. i dont recall any of the seasons ending on cliffhangars either? like there are pretty concrete endings to each season. i haven't watched the last two yet though.
also...rose byrne
I just noticed that I'm paying 7.99 Ca$ for 2 screens + HD same price as sd but I guess it's because i'm a longtime customer. It says that they'll charge me the same price until may 2016. So basically I'm not paying for ultra hd even though I'm pretty sure that I can stream content in ultra HD when I use my ps3. It says 1080p when I press select and the quality is always great. I never watch netflix on my browser because of the shitty quality.
So what should I do ? Upgrade and start paying 11.99$ ? I don't need 4 screens at once
