they should remove this fake lovely Scrubs from Netflix and not bring it back unless they get new licensing rights for the music. it'd be one thing if they at least tried to find decent replacements but its all generic filler music

Word. The first two seasons are some of the best on television, the last seven are progressively sadder and crappier.

Horns was fun and I enjoyed the first three quarters or so of it.

Not really spoilers, but if you want to go in as blind as possible you should skip this.
I thought the ending and the "turn" were terrible. It went from a very interesting and different story to the most clichéd "young adult" ending possible. At some point it basically turns into an edgier Twilight, and that killed it for me.

Filth is good, but its not exactly a comedy. McAvoy is a very good actor and I'm surprised he's not in more movies.

The video streaming service is in the early stages of developing a live action series based on “Zelda,” about an ordinary boy named Link who must rescue a princess named Zelda and save a fantasy world called Hyrule, said a person familiar with the matter. As it seeks writers to work on the show, Netflix is describing it as “Game of Thrones” for a family audience, this person said.

I would definitely second Filth as a funny and fast paced UK film, but it doesn't feel like a Guy Ritchie movie to me. It is absolutely worth watching though.

How can you not love a sex scene with two gross unwashed Russian conscripts fumbling around beside a bunch of other gross unwashed conscripts like 2 minutes after a scene where someone lights a fart on fire.

Also, I haven't seen anyone mention Horns yet. It just popped up as the featured release in my queue, so I'm guessing it's a recent addition. Is it worth watching? Stephen King's son + Harry Potter sounds like a potentially entertaining trainwreck, but I've got a crazy backlog of good films to watch, so if it's just terrible I'd rather not waste my time.

While I didn't enjoy the movie all that much, Emma Watson was pretty great in The Bling Ring. And This Is The End, although she was kind of overshadowed by the rest of the cast. Same goes for Noah.

Re; Horns: The movie was a good reproduction of the book, up until the what the loving gently caress ending. I had to think for a while if maybe I just missed the whole part in the book where it sucked so bad it undid the previous 95% of the story, but, nope, I'm pretty sure there was none of that poo poo in the book.

That, or I just blocked it out.

I pray to all the gods that if they make N0S4A2 into a movie, they don't gently caress the ending like they did to Horns.

Emma Watson was probably the best thing about The Bling Ring, and she was also great in Perks of Being a Wallflower.

Hey I just noticed Wetlands is now up on Netflix Instant. Hey everybody, watch Wetlands. It's a good gross comedy about vaginas and stuff. You'll probably regret it but c'mon, just watch it already.

You should watch the original. It's one of the better horror/thrillers of the 1950's.
