My wife and I stumbled onto Rounders (the poker movie with Matt Damon and Edward Norton) on Netflix last night. It's pretty formulaic but Norton and especially John Malkovich are great in it; I had forgotten the latter was even in it since I hadn't seen the movie since college.

It's a very well-executed movie, and that's worth something even if the script is a little stale.

Raskolnikov2089 posted:Stakeland I watched this the other day but I really didn't care too much for it. It had some allright ideas but I felt like they tried to cover way too much ground in an hour and a half and the low budget really shows in the production.

TychoCelchuuu posted:Blue is the Warmest Color leaves Netflix streaming in a few days so I watched it. It's male gazey as gently caress, especially when it comes to its ideas bout how women have sex with each other, and the director clearly thinks he's making a different movie than the one he made, but if you can live with that it's a really good romance movie. It was my favorite movie of 2014, loving phenomenal acting and story, but the director is a super creep. Read a lot of weird stories about him setting up the romance scenes. Totally worth investing 3 hours in, though.

david_a posted:I watched this yesterday. It was good, sort of an Infernal Affairs crossed with the Godfather. Although I have to say that gang warfare in countries with strict gun laws is weird. I liked the flashback at the very end when you find out the undercover cop had absolutely no qualms about walking into a restaurant full of armed thugs and murdering them and if anyone had been paying closer attention to him they'd realize he's the last person they'd ever want to gently caress with

In the same vein there's another good Korean action movie on Netflix called The Suspect about a North Korean assassin who defects to the South to find his family's killer. There's a basic "guns or butter" subplot but it's not really as much of a focus as "holy poo poo this dude's fired about 800 rounds and hasn't reloaded yet"

I would recommend Outrage and Beyond Outrage for a Japanese flavor. Also, Takeshi Kitano is still a badass as an old man. I was thinking of giving The Killer a go, can anyone say if it is like Hard Boiled? dongsweep fucked around with this message at 05:28 on Feb 22, 2016 |

It sticks with the Apatow style, and some of the character arcs are more favorable towards guys (Rusty gets offered a three way, but Gilly gets hosed by a coke head. Um?). Nonetheless, I appreciate the humor, Rusty and Gilly play great characters and I love their dynamic. Plus Seth Morris and Brett Gelman get supporting roles? Awesome. It's also more human and darker than I expected, both of which I enjoy. I'll be watching the rest soon enough.

Yea I'm a movie guy, so I've been disappointed with Netflix recently, but its tough to say I'm not getting my money's worth if I'm going to watch House of Cards and Daredevil this month. That's two potentially great seasons of t.v. for less than 10 bucks.
