So I'm a little late to the party having just watched "Boy in the Striped Pajamas."
Paced evenly if a little slow for a bulk of the movie however had probably the most intense last 10 minutes of any movie around. Recommend if you are feeling like an emotional historical drama. |
So I just spent the morning watching The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret and now I'm like, "...What the fuck did I just watch?" It was hilarious and yet so, so wrong on so many levels.
|
I am not an anime fan and nor have I watched this series, but the folks I know who do like anime - some more than others - all rave about "Attack On Titan."
It's available via Netflix streaming now. |

Absolutely loved that show. |

Holy Rollers: The Story of Card-Counting Christians
Fun movie documenting the rise of a group of card counters based in a church. |
Quote:
It took some time to warm up to the show, but it was rather fun once I did. I had completely forgotten about it until now though. |
|
So I'm going to be binge-watching on May 17th.
|
For Downton Abbey fans, The Paradise is what I like to call Downton Abbey: The Retail Store Edition. It's not quite as good as DA, but it's a worthy viewing for fans, especially for those of us who have ever worked retail. I was binging on it last night and will finish out Season 1 tonight or tomorrow probably.
It also got picked up for a second season, it appears. |
Rectify, which doesn't seem to get talked about on here. Six episode first season that was very good and the 6th episode was amazing.

I enjoyed it quite a bit. Very interesting show. |
Easily one of the best shows on TV.
|
I haven't checked lately but have they updated Sherlock yet?
|
|
House MD. Ok it's a old show but I've never watched it till now. Excellent show!
And it doesn't hurt that Jennifer Morrison is freaking cute. |

They just added Season 3 plus additional content. |

The wife and I never watched it either, but we're ripping through it on Netflix. Loving it. |
Dear Mr. Watterson. Decent documentary on the significance of Calvin and Hobbes.
|
I have a buddy interviewed in that...I havent watched yet because Ive heard incredibly bad things about it. Edit: Track down the doc "stripped" if you can, its really great.
|
Watched the 'Monarchy (UK)' series. I wasn't well-versed on the English Monarchy. Was a great way to learn that part of history.
|
Orange is the New Black is back!
|
Ginger Baker fans might like Beware of Mr. Baker. Great story, crazy dude.
|
While it remains one of my favorite shows, I thought the back end of s2 of Orange is the New Black was a bit iffy. Just to speak generally, I thought we got way too much Crazy Eyes and I thought the tonal differences were iffy. This isn't supposed to be Oz
|
I saw an interview with Crazy Eyes. The actor said the producers thought season one was too much like Summer camp and they wanted to show more of what prison was really like.
I really enjoyed season 2. I liked the flashbacks of the women in their previous lives and how they got there. Also, the V thing kept it tense. A great season. |

Do yourself a favor and stop after about 1/3rd of the way into season 4. :) |
I thought S2 was weaker than S1, but still quite good. The way the season ended in particular was awesome.
|
Heh, funny. I thought S2 was the best season overall.
|
Put me in the liked season 2 better group. Both were entertaining though and well worth watching.

I'm not sure at what point it becomes stop worthy. I felt entertained several seasons but there does come a point where it just starts to feel so repetitive. |
Big fan of Chelsea. Excited to see her stuff.
Chelsea Handler Inks Mega-Deal for Netflix Late Night Show - Yahoo TV |

Been waiting for this news to drop. One of my good buddies is a writer/regular on the show. Ian Karmel, check out his stand up! |
We just started the Netflix trial last night and I've been glued to my TV all night and now this morning my pc. So much to watch.. lol.

Yeah, if we keep Netflix we are going to have to dumb down our movie channels via Direct TV. I can't see paying for all of those movie channels if we have netflix. |
My daughter really enjoyed DC Cupcakes. Certainly isn't an in-depth viewing experience, but she's an artistic girl and really loved seeing how they could turn food into art.
|
If you liked This is the End and Hot Tub Time Machine and you don't mind laughing at the book of Revelation, Rapturepalooza was good for some laughs and little thought.
|
Yeah, I thought Rapturepalooza was decent. I think 'It's a Disaster' might be the best "apocalypse comedy" though.

It's in my queue but i've never started it. |
Short Term 12. The best movie I've seen this year aside from Boyhood.
|
|
Continuum is a great series on Netflix. Watch it.
|
Walking Dead Season 4 is out. Pretty excited to watch it.
|
Season 2 of Arrow.

I'm liking this more and more. No "Company Man" type of episode that Heroes had but obviously a show that's more than just a single season worth watching. I hadn't realized Django Unchained was on instantly already. Catching Fire is on there as well, so I tossed that in my queue as I liked The Hunger Games. |
Just watched "Zulu" on Netflix Instant. Wanted to get some history since I just bought the "Zulu's on the Ramparts" board game.
Movie was actually a lot better than I expected!! |
Nebraska is available to stream. It's a character study about aging and dealing with aging parents. Bruce Dern was very good. Certainly worth a watch.
|
Watch Black Mirror Online | Netflix
Charlie Brooker can do no wrong. Heavily sci-fi based with a twilight zone slant. Really one of the better shows to come around in the last 5 years. |
