    "End of Watch" just added to Flix US, going to give it a look now.

    Great film.

    For anyone who hasn't seen it, Blackthorn was recommended a good while back, a very enjoyable tale about a exiled American villian living in Bolivia who attempts to return home.
    It has some great scenery and all the actors deliver their respective parts with good conviction.
    This is on the US Netflix.

    "End of Watch" is pretty good alright, though the shaky cam stuff was driving me nuts at the beginning, I was going to switch it off after 10 minutes of it, its totally unnecessary and made no sense to the story line, very good cast, thogh if even 50% of what's portrayed in the film is true that Country is completely fcuked. I was one of the people who recommended "Blackthorn", very enjoyable film.

    I thought End of Watch was ok, but the found footage aspect of it nearly ruined it. No need for it at all.

    Yeah I would have prefered End of Watch to be a straight movie instead of found footage type stuff. It's not a bad watch though.

    By update do you mean to that knew interface with the bar at the bottom with easier access to subtitles?

    Picture quality on Netflix over the last month has gone pretty poor. Not sure if it's Netflix to blame or UPC. Haven't noticed any problems with my broadband otherwise and I was upgraded to 100mb recently...

    The Intouchables is on Netflix US according to Instant Watcher. I personally thought it was a load of cliched, regressive rubbish, but a lot of people on here and elsewhere loved it, and even I would concede the performances are excellent.

    I am stuck with Imagine Wimax and don't have any problems with picture quality at all with Netflix.

    Was just about to sit down to watch it having previously seen it listed and it seems to have disappeared. :confused:

    Both versions of Apocalypse Now have been added to US netflix. The redux version doesn't work half as well as the original cut so it's best avoided until you watch the original cut.

    Worked my way through all of the episodes of Its Always Sunny, really hope they add more. It's one of the few genuinely funny american comedy's around.

    Don't know if you've seen the Sundance Channel series "Rectify", its also on Canadian one, its fantastic, a better show then "Homeland" if you're looking for something new to watch.

    Dog Town and Z-Boys is a great film. Worth checking out Riding Giants also, Stacy Peralta driected it too, easily the best surf documentary ever made. Not on Netflix unfortunately though :(

    Just watched Rampart on US Netflix. Good little LA cop drama. A lot of it has been seen before and it's missing a certain something that keeps it from being great but the central performance by Woody Harrelson is excellent and makes the film very watchable.

    Just season 1, I'd love for them to upload 'Are You Afraid of the Dark?', used to love that show.... Children's tv used to have a genuinely disturbing aspect to it sometimes.
