Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

After you saw it? Really? It's totally fun and silly and pulpy, and Guy Pearce is good in it, and the Scottish bad guy is hard to understand.

Oslo August 31st was lovely

Aside from Guy Pearce having a good time, I just thought it was chintzy and dull. I also saw it the week after I saw DREDD which kind of pwns it for small, pulpy funtimes.

couldn't sleep last night and watched some of "the immortals" which was terrible and made me long for the original clash of the titans. mickey rourke was ok, i suppose.

I didn't like Lockout as much as I thought I would, it reminded me of one of those SyFy original movies.

Jiro Dreams of Sushi is great. Fantastic really.

I liked Jiro a lot. At the time I thought it was pretty repetitive, and said what it needed to say pretty early on, but the more I think about it, the more I think that may have been the point. My friend's theory is that he consented to the movie to help set the transition for when his son eventually takes over.

got Jiro in the mail w/ about 25 other Magnolia releases. won't be watching V/H/S.

i was pretty taken by the deliberateness with which it all unfolded, and the shots were great. i could watch an hour of them putting sushi on the shiny black servers. loved the reveal that it was the son who served the michelin folks. really packed a punch after all that.

i really loved jiro. it's very simple, but I found it v moving and I really loved the detail.

loved meeting their tuna guy.

otm

jiro is nice

"the best and the brightest", nph + wife try getting their kid into nyc private kindergarten

neil patrick harris?

yeah, 'tis funny

oh i thought it was a doc fo rsome reason

well, no wife for neil

also started watching "god bless america" directed by bobcat goldtwait (lol) about a guy sick of celeb/pop culture and goes on a rampage, it's a bit falling down but more like the park shooting scene from happiness extended into a full length, suprisingly good

...and finished "do not disturb" the other day about the rotating inhabitants of a hotel room. starring the maid, diva zappa.

oh i thought it was a doc fo rsome reason

there's a doc on the same subject

this one i guess: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1213832/

"bernie" is up and is pretty enjoyable/lightweight

yes happy to see that there

Doctor Detroit now on US netflix

completely inessential, but devo music

Recent adds on my part:

The Artist (boring)
Klown (worth it, if only for the final shot. this is what a more profane Hangover would look like)
A Cat in Paris
Coriolanus
Sesame Street Classics
A Man's Story
Zen of Tony Bennett
Chico and Rita
Night Train to Munich
Frozen

My kids liked A Cat in Paris.

Yes, that is an adorable movie.

o haha, i thought he was talking about a series called 'bbc originals'

Reanimator yall

the ten is up

are up

maria's sister lives around the corner from us with her boyfriend and her boyfriend is in a movie on netflix about a guy who has brain damage or amnesia or something and his father from oz/law&order helps him remember stuff by playing music and maria's sister's boyfriend plays phil lesh! cuz the guy was a dead fan and his memory stopped in the 60's or something? i didn't watch the whole thing. no closeups as phil becauee maria's sister's boyfriend is in his 30's and he's playing phil onstage in the 80's. pretty cool person to play in a movie. plus, he's a stoner in real life. he's been in a ton of gossip girls episodes.

Yeah I know that movie. It wasn't bad! Called The Music Never Stopped, based on an Oliver Sacks case study/story thing.

Which cut of Reanimator is it? R or Unrated?

Hmm, it says R but it looks like the Unrated run time. Mysteriously, the Unrated version runs ten minutes shorter!

are the moomin computer animated cartoons worth a shit?
