The Good, The Bad, The Weird: Three of Koreas top actors are in it, so it's a good one to watch first. Check out the trailer on youtube, it's a really fun movie.

Is there a way to check what netflix has without signing up/being in USA?

Great movie...where many get violently murdered.

The Rock-Afire Explosion

Remember the Robot monsters that gave you the creeps while you ate lovely pizza at Showbiz Pizza in the 80s? Want to see people bring these horrors back to life and talk about them like its the greatest thing ever?

Not since Tideland have I felt more unsettled by film.

Trailer Park Boys - low budget Canadian comedy about a bunch of guys who live in a trailer park (never would have guessed from the title) and the poo poo they get into. I remembered seeing a thread for this on SA a while ago, and then I saw that it was on Instant and decided to give it a shot. At first I couldn't figure out what/why I was watching, but then it became one of my favorite shows of all time. Seriously. If you haven't seen it yet give it a shot - I binged through most of it in 2 days after having my wisdom teeth removed and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Its the Always Sunny of Canada. Look out for Bottle kids.

I'm surprised Take Shelter made you that angry about it. I thought it was a entertaining character study with good direction and acting all around.

Ghost Dog is a real fun movie to watch as well. One of Jims better films.

Man a lady vanishes is weird. It's almost an ensemble comedy for 20 minutes.
The a potted plant falls and tension, intrigue, and its baby cousin LOOMING WWII, strangle your nerves and throw sanity into question.

Slick direction and honest war fears turn a tale of a missing person and frames it in a voyeurs dance with danger. More films need to be stuck on trains.

Actually, what are you saying? Is it good or bad?

If you think that American Pickers is quality reality TV and that ghosts are real and seek out fat losers with neckbeards that hang out in the dark, this is quality.
If you think that History channels investigations into bigfoot and ufos are lacking and hilarious this is more of that.

Stake Land was a much more atmospheric and well paced story then it's cheesy title would let on.
It's a well acted story about a pair of survivors moving north in a world overrun by mindless vampires. Thanks to a solid musical score and decent character development, I was sucked in.
I would rate this one of the best surprises Netflix gave me this year.
However thanks to a measly 5 minute section of film (people who have seen know which part) I hesitate to recommend it.

Its not for everyone. I thought it was one of the worst films I have seen last year.
But each his own. It is a found footage film that tells several stories.
Many of which are filled with shallow unlikable people who encounter "bad things".
Its currently 50% on rotten tomatoes and I that seems fair as its a polarizing film.

Which is weird because I like many horror films this one came off as boring and offensive. Human Centipedes, Saws, Friday the 13ths, are not for me.
Shining, [REC], [REC2] and even Slither are.
This isn't about me however this is about Netflix Streaming.
On that topic I just rewatched "Dreamscape" since my childhood. I don't care what the cool kids say, Dennis Quaid is more then a poor mans Harrison Ford. This movie pits him vs Plummer and its a old fashioned "slick off". Decent special effects for its time too. Thanks for the childhood nightmares snakeman!

The Man Who Would Be Polka King mini review. So imagine a smaller scale Madoff ponzi scheme but instead of an investment firm its for a gift shop. Add trips to see the rad polish pope, beauty queen fraud, fatties falling asleep at the wheel, and polka music and you have this documentary.
Extra points to the director/narrator being in front of the camera in an empty bar drinking the whole time.

So is it worth the watch? Like, in a so terrible it's good sort of way or what?

Its rare when a movie tries to be outrageous and hilarious. Look at all the Damon Wayans movies. If this was done with a serious effort to make it a "serious movie" I think it would have had a chance. Otherwise for this to be a good comedy they would have needed the efforts of the Southpark crew or Sam Rami.
As for myself this movie put me to sleep like Nyquil in under half an hour.

Its still good though.

That is what I thought too it made double what 3 did domestically.
Its Brad Bird's first live action movie. The plot is a weak, but he did a great job with it. I love this MI more then the others because it doesn't feel like Tom Cruise is the only competent agent. Oh that and the action and pacing is moves at a great click.

Ghost Adventures is the worst of the lot. Its a howto guide for presenting evidence and never have it credibly checked.
After a short marathon, My friends and myself agree that if you have to watch one of the three Chuck Norris movies on NF, The Octagon is king.
If you love Commando style storytelling your in for a hilarious ride.
Chuck fights ninjas despite his insistence that they don't exist anymore. His sidekick is worthless, his girlfriend is daft, and his internal monologue is echoed. Ninja Terrorist training camp and its all american run of the mill trainees is a highlight. Enjoy.

Innkeepers was painful. Modestly well shot, above average casting, and frankly felt like Amy Poehler was in a old hotel. Decent chemistry between the two protagonists.
Here is where they screwed the pooch. They had cast ripe for a dark comedy, and instead forced the middle pages of a horror script in the middle of it. Then they forgot to have an ending with any meaning.

Lady with kid? Red Herring.

Has been tv Star? forshadowing and empty epilogue.

Old man? Worthless flavor.

Side story about internet site? Pointless.

Its a shame because I like the first half of the movie, its when the horror shows up the movie falls apart.
