There are some pretty great shaw bros. flicks up on netflix that no doubt have been mentioned before. However check out "Masked Avengers" if you like seeing multiple people get murked with golden tridents, burned by acid spitting walls, and sliced through the torso from a doorway with an aperture style bladed trap.

Netflix however needs to get more Lau Kar Leung directed SB flicks like My Young Auntie and Legendary Weapons of China.

treating its premise with deadly gravity is what makes Candyman really work. the scene where he first materializes is still terrifying.

The only thing I might call cheesy about Candyman is its depiction of an inner city project. I don't think cheesy is really the appropriate term though, more like its very stylized.

Yeah, I would say that it's more got a dated early 90's feel, so in an era long past where a lot of action or horror movies take a gritty, dark, super-realistic tone, it does come off as a bit goofier than it did at the time. (i.e. It reads as cheesy next to something like Saw, but compared to the slasher flicks of the time, it was far more grounded.)

"Cheesy" but nightmarish, like the Grand Guignol crack-fortress The Carter in New Jack City.

I've been watching Ancient Aliens and it is really... something. I've scene bits and pieces of it flipping through the channels so I knew to expect a whole bunch of bad science, which the show really delivers on. However, I wasn't prepare for the bad religion, which is a pretty fun twist. I thought the only thing that the show was missing for the History Channel trifecta was some Hitler. Then bam, in episode 3, Nazi UFO based superweapons.

Penny Dreadful is pretty good. They have a couple of decent movies like Twelve Monkey's and An American Werewolf In London. I'm just using a free month and cancelling.

Anybody use HBO Now on a Apple TV 3? I read somewhere that the app in the newly released ATV 4 finally allows you to add a TV series to your watchlist; I'm curious if this has been back-ported to the "app" on the 3rd gen.

Human Centipede 3 is on Netflix now. I haven't mustered up the :effort: to watch it yet, since the second one was so bad compared to the first one (which was legitimately great).

If anyone is desperate for films like Coherence, Timecrimes, Triangle and, uh, Project X; give +1 a shot. It might seem pretty vapid and misogynistic at first but there's a message to be had if you can stick it out.

I feel the sane about the first two. The first one was great, the second was complete dog poo poo. Don't waste your time watching it.

What's the third like? I didn't know it existed till right now.

just a heads up:

THE BEAST is a steamy thriller the way MR HANDS is a steamy thriller.

I wouldn't exactly say DO NOT watch The Beast. I would say, do not watch the beast with your date.

I liked the concept of +1 but I thought it was a pretty awful movie.

Can anyone recommend some good movies on Fandor? I'm totally lost but I've been getting into Jodorowsky lately so I'd like to find some good stuff that's similarly "out there."

Ex Machina is finally on Netflix Canada, probably going to be checking that one out tonight.

Edit: Holy poo poo, everyone watch Five Elements Ninjas immediately.

Angel Heart is (back?) on Netflix. Rewatched it today and it just keeps getting better, for example I never really noticed how fantastic the set work and cinematography are.

Shame there are exactly two shots in the film that kind of ruin the mood completely, if you removed those then it would be a reasonably perfect film.

That's not even the most bizarre thing in The Beast.

The beast in question titfucks a lady with a big prop cock that cums all over her.

That movie's Plot Keywords page on IMDB is a fun read.

...wait, really? His Wiki page (and the Wiki pages for his movies) doesn't seem to corroborate this- it seems like, while The Beast kinda dulled his international star, it made his career in France flourish.
