Monkey, you have to post pics before and after you load it.

I just finished Death Note (the live action movie, watched the Anime series earlier this year. Should get Death Note 2 next from netflix)

Also watching Dracula AD 1972. Love Hammer Horror.

Trollhunter streaming on Netflix.

Norwegian, with subtitles, student film crew make a documentray about Norways secret government troll hunter.

So it's a lot of shaky handheld camera work, and running around in the woods being scared. Well done though good fun.

Never explained why the Trolls were secret, if they've been around for thousands of years?

So it's like a Norwegian Blair Witch Project?

I saw a trailer for that somewhere recently, looked interesting.

Beest · 10-26-2011, 12:56 PM

Never seen BWP, but probably.

It's not all paranoid teens running around in the woods (there is a fair bit of this near the beginning) and never clearly seeing the thing. You do get to see stuff and it's well done.

I caught a first season episode of Law and Order on one of my local UHF channels (or what used to be UHF, B.C. (before cable)).

Netflix has the early seasons on Watch Instantly.

Chris Noth was SO YOUNG.

wolf · 10-26-2011, 09:21 PM

Baby's Day Out was on one of the free cable movie channels today.

It's so cute that I watched it one and a half times today.

Well, that and it was a movie that made momwolf laugh. Today was the anniversary of her passing.

I did not put the box of her on the couch to watch it with me. I'm not that far gone, yet.

hang in there wolf.

wolf · 10-27-2011, 11:42 AM

Thank you.

Hey wolf... (gosh.. tongue tied here)..

I support you too. Please accept my empathy in place of any accidental eloquence I might have typed into this box. And it was gonna be a beauty, too.

BigV · 11-10-2011, 06:40 PM

I'm sure there's a Netflix thread somewhere... who cares. My streaming viewing and my local dvd or vhs viewing blur together. We watch what we want to watch. And we watch stuff every day. Anyhow, I recently saw a film that started out (eyeroll) kinda dumb, and then picked up dramatically (not that it was a drama, just the quality of the movie improved). I'm reminded of it because of a couple recent posts in the Cool Weapons thread.

I would recommend "Final Countdown". It stars Kirk Douglas and Martin Sheen. The premise is this: What would happen if a US Navy aircraft carrier (USS Nimitz, played by herself) was off the coast of Hawaii on December 6th, 1941?

There's LOTS of on board and in air footage of some real warfare hardware. If you like that kind of stuff, you should watch this film.

Michelle and I watched Hobo with a Shotgun the other night...it was fantastic, but Michelle told me I was not allowed to pick movies anymore.

Then we watched this indie film called Zenith, which was interesting, but a total mindfuck...and Michelle banned herself from picking movies.

Griff · 11-10-2011, 08:12 PM

So I guess I'll be picking your films from here on out... anything by Ewe Boll should do.

glatt · 11-11-2011, 09:35 AM

We've been DVR-ing the US version of Prime Suspect with Maria Bello. I've seen about half of the episodes, and have decided it's good. A typical cop show that's well done. On par with NYPD Blue, but not as good as The Wire. Better than Law and Order and all its spin offs.

wolf · 11-11-2011, 11:52 AM

Bronson

It's a British flick about the most violent inmate in the British Prison system. Inventively filmed. It is extremely violent and there is nekkedness. I do appreciate the netflix recommender ... I never would have known about this film otherwise.

I also watched Guns, Germs, and Steel which was pretty neat.
