    Headhunters is on UK/Ireland now. Sort of a crime thriller but I found it hilarious, not sure if it was intentional, but either way it's enjoyable.

    The Jo Nesbo adaptation? That's been there ages surely. And hilarious??

    I thought it was hilarious too but in a good way, I mean come on
    the guy submerged himself in pooh using a toilet roll insert as a snorkel at one point.
    The whole thing was just so silly, I thought the humour was very much intentional.

    It says on http://netflix.maft.uk/ that it was added today. Maybe it was taken down and put back up.

    My favourite part was where
    he's escaping on the tractor at 10 MPH with a dead dog speared on the front.

    I suppose when you put it like that, it was pretty funny. They're making a HBO TV series based on it apparently.

    I thought that entire sequence from
    the poo toilet through to him surviving the car crash because of being sandwiched in between the two fat lads
    was hysterical, although my favourite detail was
    the speared dog swaying gently on the tractor as he tried to escape
    .

    That site has this at the top. Kind of winced when I saw it. A tad crass or catering for the demand?

    "RIP Robin Williams (1951-2014)
    See here for all of his available films on Netflix UK"

    BTW I see they've added Annapolis... it was on TV a few nights ago. Standard, fairly predictable fare but watchable.

    Catering for demand. The guy who runs it said on twitter that he was getting lots of people asking what Robin Williams films were on there so he made a page. He also said he disabled the adverts on that page out of respect.

    Watched "The Hammer" on the US netflix. Its about the life of Mark Hammill, the first deaf man to compete in the UFC. It shows his life from childhood up to college. I think if you like "Warrior" you'll like this film

    Both films while interesting are fairly disappointing. I'd rate it two out of five Kleenex.

    watched the first episode of bates motel. seems to be happening too fast. They have already killed someone. Seems good though, but a little too on the fast side for a TV series

    Freddie Highmore & Vera Farmiga are real standouts in this show.

    Watching the 100 on the Canadian Netflix. Only a few episodes in but it seems interesting enough. If you interested in post apocalyptic setting with a little bit of sci fi its worth a watch.

    Glad I'm not the only person that was thinking this.
