Goon was added the other day.. watched it on sat i thought it was really good.. glad i didnt see it in the cinema but its watchable.. if you like your slapstick comedy you will enjoy..

madma · 02-07-2012 4:46pm

Professey Chin · 02-07-2012 4:47pm

Anybody watching Prison Break?

I've just gotten to the second episode of season 4 and the whole series has been ruined for me one episode into it.

DarkJager · 02-07-2012 5:49pm

Just watched The Devils Double, brilliant stuff.

krudler · 02-07-2012 6:15pm

theres a bunch of early Jackie Chan stuff on the US one like Meals On Wheels, Armour of God and My Lucky Stars, the plots and acting are atrocious but the stunts and fight choregraphy are superb to this day. If you've only seen Jackie Chan post-Rush Hour then they're worth watching to see him in his prime, especially in his various fights with Benny "The Jet" Urquidez (the other assassin John Cusack has the scrap in the school hall with in Grosse Pointe Blank, who was Cusacks real life martial arts teacher and an absolute badass)

the dubbing is hilariously bad in this clip but the fight is spectacular, that bit when Benny blows out the candles at 1.20 with a kick was done for real.

Separate threads for film & TV

^^Sammo Hung is a legend too, sure can move for a fat guy! Used to love armour of the gods, isn't there a sequel called Operation Condor or something?

Never realised that was the guy from Gross Pointe Blank :eek:

Season 3 was definitely the best! Mahone is probably my favourite from it.

Season 4 kinda discredits Season 3 and you'll see why when you come to it

yeah i agree with ya there, im a few episodes into 4 now not mad about it, still ok though, its just about to get intersting again though so maybe it will push on

yeah mahone is great in it, that actor is in loads of stuff.. sucre is good and t-bag the scumbag ha

If it's good let me know, I've put it away now but might go back. Started It's always sunny in Philadelphia which is brilliant

The Killing season one - the glorious Danish original - is on Irish Netflix. Might have been there a while, but I only noticed. Do not accept inferior imitators! Lund FTW!

Also: Entourage is a HBO show so you won't be seeing that anytime soon.

kronsington · 04-07-2012 11:53pm

watched "im still here" on us netflix

its a "documentary" about joaquin phoenix's retirement from acting and transition to hip hop superstar directed by casey affleck. there was a lot of buzz about it when it came out a few years ago. check it out

HBO have their own on demand service called HBO GO and are naturally using it to gain more subscribers, if they let netflix in on some of their catalogue it would potentially lose them subscribers so unfortunately it's highly unlikely we'll ever see HBO shows on Netflix. They have even stopped supplying them DVD boxsets of their shows for the US customers on the DVD package (although they can get around this by sourcing the DVD's from a third party after they go on general release but it shows just how much of a threat they consider netflix).

shortys94 · 08-07-2012 5:54pm

Watched Donnie Brasco, very good I thought

kronsington · 10-07-2012 11:26am

if youre a fan of southpark, "the making of southpark: 6 days to air" was just added to US Netflix. interesting to view the controlled chaos behind the scenes of the show.

anyone have any other recommendations for either uk or us? browsed last night and could find nothing to tickle my fancy

Loved that doc. Showed how close they really cut it :pac:

For a quick watch on the US one, and if you havent seen it (shame on you and until recently shame on me) give Dr. Horribles Sing-Along Blog a watch.

Trollhunter (2010)

Has been added to IRL great fun

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1740707/

Patsy fyre · 11-07-2012 12:11am

Watched Harry Brown tonight, terrific film, well worth a watch for anyone who has not seen it.
Also Idle Hands was an entertaining 90 minutes, ridiculously funny in parts

kronsington · 11-07-2012 12:39am

i noticed a couple of noteworthy ones under the heading "Showbiz Movies"

This is Spinal Tap- I'd say everyone on this forum has seen this or at least heard of this. Inspiration for the Office, Curb and loads others. Must see

Outfoxed: Murdochs War on Journalism- havent watched but looks interesting

The Nines- very hard to describe- but clever and ambitious border line sci-fi flick with dreamboat Ryan Reynolds

National Geographic- The Lord of the Rings- a look at the world that inspired the movies

Grizzly Man- Werner Herzog directed doc following the tale of a man who went to live amongst grizzly bears

Adaptation- outstanding performance from Nicolas Cage, Spike Jonze directs

54- decent enough flick about the infamous New York nightclub 54- mike myers, ryan phillips star

some good ones there!

Technocentral · 15-07-2012 12:11pm

Woody Harrelson movie "Rampart", where he plays a bent cop, is on US version now, am going to check it out tonight.
