Apparently both Harry Brown and I Saw the Devil are on netflix as of today, the former consisting mostly of Michael Caine murdering the poo poo out of chavs, the latter being a korean revenge deal that is straight up one of the most violent movies I've ever seen. If you liked the revenge trilogy you'll dig it.

So Netflix seems to have a response to all the complaintsquote:Hi, Tom Willerer here from the product team with an update for those of you who post reviews on the site. We’re removing avatars, nicknames and bios associated with reviews, as very few Netflix members use them. We’re constantly working to improve the Netflix experience, and by removing these little-used features we are simplifying the review process. remove more from the website! While I dont really care about the avatars/nicknames/bios ...now i dont really care about this but total anonymous reviews sounds like people will leave much worse reviews, not better ones

Watched Black Death with Sean Bean last night thinking it would be straight-to-DVD dreck (I mean just look at that loving cover), but it was actually a quality product. Great atmosphere, nice acting and action scenes, and an interesting exploration of morality. It's set against the Black Death, of course, so there's boils aplenty if you like that.

I think most people here probably know about it- The Good, the Bad, the Weird is up and is a fantastic non-traditional western with lots of fun fight scenes, cool setting and a bunch of badass characters.

Sorry if this is a repeat but I just noticed a movie the other day called Jack Goes Boating starring Philip Seymour Hoffman was available on instant and, true to form, it's weird as poo poo but I find myself grinning at my TV screen for long periods of time when I watch it. It's neat.

Not a movie, but I figure it's worth a mention for the sheer size: Every episode of Power Rangers except for the currently running season is now streamable. It would take over 10 days to watch every episode back-to-back!

Speaking of TV episodes, I've been watching George Gently, a British crime drama. I don't know anything about it really, but it feels like Columbo meets Sherlock Holmes so far, and it's pretty entertaining. If you like CSI, MI:5, NCIS or stuff like that give it a look.

Woah, Young Indiana Jones Chronicles on instant. Pretty sure that's new because I just looked for it the other day and it was DVD only. e: It's edited differently too. No bookend segments with Old Indy and I think they've changed episode order to make chronological sense. Saint Sputnik has a new favorite as of 06:16 on Jun 19, 2011 |

What really bugs me is that TV shows aren't separated by seasons any more. So it basically takes 1 rating and applies it to every season of that show. It's not like there's drastic changes in seasons or anything sometimes... It also has no results whatsoever for a show called Dual Survival on Discovery channel. Survivorman is on Instant Watch though, I've never seen it, but maybe I'll try that.

It's nice not to have separate seasons in my queue or have to search out the next season when I'm done with the current one.

I dont know if it was mentioned in this thread before, or if I got the recommendation from this thread, but watch Dogtooth. I really dont want to say much about this film because I dont want to give spoil anything. In an intentionally vague description this film is about a family that lives secluded in the woods. I enjoyed it quite a bit and think it is an extremely good movie.

I watched two pretty good movies (by my standards anyways) recently. One was Leaves Of Grass starring Edward Norton, and the other was Shrink with Kevin Spacey. Norton and Spacey are two of my favorite actors so if you like them, I imagine you'd probably like the movies too.

Well I was a little hesitant going in, but Ticked-Off Trannies With Knives was actually a pretty drat good movie. If you like the faux-grindhouse stuff coming out nowadays you owe it to yourself to give this one a try. Definitely not what I was expecting, but I came out pleasantly surprised!

Anime is not really my thing and this isn't a movie but it popped up in my recommended list so I watched and liked it... Speed Grapher http://www.netflix.com/WiMovie/Speed_Grapher/70050135?trkid=496624&fcld=true It's 24 episodes with one storyline, about a photographer who meets a girl who can make some people's innermost desire come true. The less said the better, but the first two episodes end with the same climax told from two viewpoints which I don't remember any other tv show doing. From there it's up and down but it kept me engaged.

Iron Man 2 went up today! And if you like Iron Man, the cartoon they added awhile ago just got a whole bunch of episodes. It's surprisingly solid, with a cel-shaded animation style. It's up and down, not the best cartoon of all time, but way better than I thought it'd be. I dig it.

The Man From Nowhere http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/The_Man_from_Nowhere/70159333?trkid=2361637 This was a hit at Fantastic Fest last year, and I see why. It's basically the Korean version of "Taken", but it's much more awesome than that. I heartily recommend.

I started playing a few of these and I'm kind of really pissed off about that show now. Nowadays, even kids' shows seem to be trying hard to make good stories and have competent writing. Like, any popular show lately isn't complete poo poo. Power Rangers is from a time where it seems you could just heap poo poo on kids as long as there were flashy colors and funny noises. I think if my kids watched a show like that, I would write the producers a strongly-worded letter.

If you don't have a dramatic 180 of emotions during the dung beetle part you're not watching it right.

A while back someone mentioned that Oldboy (a great film btw) is part of a pseudo-trilogy created by the director for the revenge genre. Does anyone know the other two titles? I think Lady Vengeance was one of them. Also, I Saw The Devil was a great film, I wasn't really expecting the level they took it too.

I think Lady Vengeance was one of them. The trilogy is very loose and you don't need to watch them in any order, but in order of release dates its Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Oldboy, then Sympathy for Lady Vengeance. They're all up on Netflix now but I think they're dubbed. I liked the first one the most, it's fantastic and gets overlooked because of Oldboy.

Yeah I'm watching Lady Vengeance now and the subtitles have one on screen and than the next line in the cropper area. It's really annoying when the background of a scene is white. Thanks for the Korean recommendations. Btw, is The Host any good?

The Universe of Keith Haring http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/The_Universe_of_Keith_Haring/70105985?trkid=496624 An in-depth and very personal documentary on the life and work of Keith Haring, one of the more influential figures in graphic design and general pop culture in the late 80s/early 90s. An excellent watch if you're interested in that kind of stuff at all. Even if you don't recognize the name, you've probably seen at least a hundred Keith Haring pieces in your lifetime. It's interesting (and a little heartbreaking) to see what life in that scene was like. Also, if you're into skateboarding, they have all of Epicly Later'd up on instant. http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/Epicly_Later_d_Episode_6/70139334?trkid=496624 12 episodes of Patrick O'Dell from Thrasher Magazine hanging out with pro skaters like Jerry Hsu, Dustin Dollin, Andrew Reynolds and a thousand others.

Carnivale isn't on instant but it's amazing and I've seen both seasons several times as well as made my friends watch it, and I've heard nothing but good things about The Wire. On Instant, the Spartacus series was a stupid fun 300-ish sort of show- I've never seen Rome but it may interest you.

Whispering Machines posted:On Instant, the Spartacus series was a stupid fun 300-ish sort of show- I've never seen Rome but it may interest you. Amen. The series does start off very slow, but about the fourth or fifth episode it really finds its legs. I think they've also tacked on the Gods of the Arena prequel, which is a six episode orgy of violence, sex, violence, more sex, more violence, and just a bit of scenery chewing. Oh, and probably an actor with the most  face ever.
