I agree, Housebound was pretty good. It goofed with conventions in a pretty decent way. I watched A Coffee In Berlin on a lark and really enjoyed it. It's a talky-young-adult-angst movie, but its a good one.

Chef was much better than I thought it would be. Sweet without being overly cloying. Even the obvious re-marriage happy ending wasn't that bad. Plus Scarlett Johansson and Sofia Vergara are ridiculously hot throughout. I'm worried that Jon Favreau is just going to explode at some point in the future though. The Institute is a documentary about and ARG that was played in SF that some of the participants took waaaaaaay too seriously at times. It's basically "stupid white people (and one really stupid asian girl) the movie". ARGs are dumb. Except for the one for the Tomorrow's Harvest release. That was pretty cool. Hannibal Season 2 is on Amazon. It's a beautiful fever dream of a show. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt made me laugh a lot. Ellie Kemper is a qt.

Deadite posted:Has anyone else watch Beyond the Black Rainbow? If so, would you please explain to me what I just watched? You watched a very stylish film that was ultimately let down by a shallower narrative than it deserved and a bad resolution (I'm talking about Dr. Nyle simply falling down and hitting his head on a rock.). That being said, I really like how it looks, love movies that have to do with strange spiritual cults/research groups in the '60's and '70's, and really dig retro-synth scores, so I actually really liked it in spite of its failings.

I have access to Netflix and HBO Nordic which to my knowledge has pretty much every HBO series. Watch True Detective on HBO if it's available.

Here's several I've recently watched that were pretty drat good: Beltracchi: The Art of Forgery is a documentary about one of the best fine-art forgers in the world. He would find holes in an artist's repertoire and paint something in that style. He fooled art critics, experts, collectors. He claims that some of his work still hangs in museums, still undetected as forgeries. Cartel Land is a doc about the Mexican drug war, focusing on a grassroots Mexican vigilante group called the Autodefensas, and minorly on some crazy US vigilantes who basically just want to shoot brown people. Some of the descriptions by innocent Mexican citizens of what the cartels do when tribute isn't paid, etc. is loving heartbreaking. Dark Star: H. R. Giger's World is yet another doc. Per the title, it's about H. R. Giger, going over his youth and spending a lot of time with him after his stroke until his death. Bonus points for Tom G. Warrior cameos. Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films is a doc about the history of Golan-Globus and Cannon Films. If you've ever watched an '80's explosion/titty movie, a ninja movie, or Over the Top, you've seen a Cannon movie. It's so good, especially for the 10 minutes they spend out of nowhere in the middle making GBS threads on Sharon Stone. Uncle John is a small but really well done movie about a man who murdered someone and his nephew who's trying to get a date with his new manager. It's really good.

Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell is up on Netflix. It's a very good tv version of a very good book, if presented completely differently than the book and missing the final 3rd. Very much worth a watch.

Going to recommend The Path again for all you Hulu havers. S2 just started. Too bad it's not on Netflix where it could get more eyes. It deserves a better "network".

Rolo posted:If you're not big into anime, I'd skip this. I tried it because the graphics looked neat and it got good reviews, but it is just a bunch of cliche anime with a dull story, badly drawn out dialogue and, of course, a giant breasted real-doll character that at some point has some guy yelling "drat check them tits, wow!" Yeah - I was fooled into watching this from the recommendation. It's really bad.

Rolo posted:These are up now, I'm currently watching Space Mutiny. It's different than it used to be in that it's handled as a show now, so it has episodes inside of one single Netflix entry instead of 20 separate movies. This is a good thing in that certain episodes won't slip through the cracks while browsing Netflix's sometimes-dumb menu system. Oh cool - must have misread. Too bad there's no Final Sacrifice.

Joey Freshwater posted:Started watching the unrelated new Mindhunter Netflix series that's about the creation of the term serial killer and what led up to it. I'm only 2 episodes in but it's pretty good so far. It's produced by David Fincher. Starts out with a teacher at the FBI that is training agents on hostage negotiation. He takes an interest in criminal psychology and teams up with another teacher to track down serial killers. Yeah it seems pretty decent so far, but some of the dialog is really, really bad. Mostly the stuff between Bob FBIguy and Amazingly Hipgirlfriend.

At any rate, it's short enough that I'd recommend it to anyone wanting a decent sci-fi movie, even if it does one or two rather silly bits. Don't believe this skelly-dooter's lies. This movie is just godawful.

It's a movie about the rise of National Lampoon with actors playing Chevy Chase, Christopher Guest and Bill Murray, and others. As a Brit, I never really knew much about National Lampoon but I thought the movie was great with a good few laughs. Make sure you watch Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead: The Story of the National Lampoon if you haven't.
