I liked it so much that I watched the sequels (Played With Fire and Kicked the Hornets Nest) over the next 2 days. The first one was my favorite one of the 3. #2 was the worst for me. That's not saying a lot though because I really liked all 3 of them.

    I saw that they were going to bring them out in English, but I really think that it'd take away from the movies.

    Agree. Great movies and do not need to be made in English. They will be basterdized beyond recognition I think.

    Streaming, it is in the documentaries section.

    Yeah it's not like those weren't already mentioned ;). Glad to see someone else who has watched them. I really want to read the books though. And yes they are planning on making them in English sometime here soon which will probably suck.

    Books are better according to the wife. I haven't read them, but the story will make more sense if you read the books, or have someone that tells you things the movie left out as you are watching it. lol

    Yeah that's all I've is the books are really good. And normally Book > Movie lol. I'll probably read them sometime this summer tho.

    Also if no one has watched this show the first 2 seasons of Dexter are on Netflix I suggest you check them out pretty cool show.

    Dear Zachery: A Letter to a Son About His Father

    Very well made documentary. Surprising and moving, as well as very eye-opening about the extradition process in Canada.

    Just finished watching SALT. I liked it. Definitely far fetched, but thoroughly enjoyed the ending sequences.

    I wasn't impressed with it. I felt it was an awkard movie to watch

    I thought the same thing too. I'll have to admit, the plot was pretty genius. It was an entertaining movie.
  • Iliketurtles
    See everyone I've talked to before has said SALT was terrible. I might have to check it out now for myself though.

    Saw the King's Speech last night. Very good movie. Not the kind of movie I will want to watch over and over again but very well done.

    If you do, just make sure you watch it all. There are definitely some last minute revelations.
  • Rotinaj
    Thought salt was ok, definitely wasn't terrible. I just got done watching Numbers and started watching flaspoint. Both pretty good shows.
  • Raw Dawgin' it
    Zombie Strippers. You can stream it.

    also, Animal Kingdom was really good.

    Dont watch the Theater Version. The unrated/directors cut is much better and has an extra twist in it. I actually really liked the movie, you just have to kind of go along with it being a ridiculous plot (at least imo).

    If you haven't watched it yet i'd recommended The Vice Guide to Travel. It's an 8 episode doc about a few guys from Vice magazine going to places like Chernobyl, gun markets in Pakistan, the Wodka Wars in Poland/Russia. They try to find was to get into North Korea and once they're there they show how they're monitored and how it's like one big ghost town. The most interesting, imo, was the episode with General Butt Naked in Liberia. He was a warlord and is now a preacher. Some of the things he's done is horrific. All in all it was a pretty good doc.

    For the longest time I've been keeping up with the Stargate - Universe series on Hulu. But with now Netflix has it and it appears the new episodes appear on Netflix before they do on Hulu!
  • Scarlet_Buckeye
    It's only a matter of time before all the blockbuster movies and hit TV shows are all available for streaming over NetFlix. When this happens, it will catapult NetFlix into stardom and be the demise for places like Blockbuster and Family Video.

    Sad to see more jobs being squeezed out, but happy that I will soon be able to watch any movie or show instantly.

    We aren't experiencing an American or European revolution... we are experiencing a GLOBAL EVOLUTION of technology (i.e., NetFlix, mobile devices, 3D technology, EZ-Passes, etc.) and it's effects will be both positive and negative.

    All I'm waiting for is for HBO shows to be available to stream instantly. There are enough random movies that I've never heard of on there to keep me entertained as it is.
  • GoJPM!
    Salt, Zombieland, and The Other Guys.

    Currently have Black Swan and The Tourist to watch.
