Netflix Review Thread
So I finally finished the entire Firefly series and topped it off with the feature film Serenity. All of it is available right now on the U.S. version of Netflix. I think I can better understand the love for Joss Whedon now that I've seen this and I was already a fan of Buffy and Angel although I stopped my Netflix marathons for both of those series around the last season or so.
Show was a fun interpretation of the space western genre, was funny when it needed to be and had decent action. If you're bored and you have access to the series and movie, I fully endorse this already geek-approved cult-classic. The film was far from perfect, but it accomplished the job of closing loose ends in a short amount of time and still managing to be good. Use this thread to point me and others towards goodies on Netflix. It's time to make TPWW MEAT again! Quote:

Dunno what the selection is like compared to here, obviously different, but it's full of crap on there.
I'd like to watch the Big Bang Theory in order, instead of watching whatever comes on TV. There's a few films I need to catch, also a few asian / indian films I want to watch on there. For £5.50 p/m, it's good value indeedy. NEver checked out Firefly |

Sometimes the catalogue gets a bit slim and sometimes it's got a lot of major films and fun tv shows, cult films.
The day Ravenous gets on Netflix will be a good one...though I have the DVD so why I care about that I can't say. |

I hated Jayne at first but he was easily my favourite character by the end of the TV show. Pretty disappointed the movie is not on UK Netflix, might have to exploit the LoveFilm free trail to watch it.

There's an old Canadian cartoon on Netflix called "Kevin Spencer" that I have taken a liking to. It's very adult-oriented even more so than South Park is. Last time I checked it was still on streaming, but it's been awhile since I've watched it on there.
Been going through Buffy/Angel again. Sort of stopped in the near the end of Season 4 for Buffy and the first one for Angel. Was going to try to find a what order to watch the episodes this time around, but forgot. Buffy seemed to get worse over the seasons after like three, but Angel seemed to get better. |

Parents. I hadn't seen this movie since I was a small child. While watching it again just now I figured out the origin of a nightmare I had way back when where a bloody hand was reaching out of the sink.
Such a great film. |

I never watched Firefly but I recently watched 3 episodes of Once Upon A Time and it's a pretty cool show!

Stiffler in a hockey movie. I'm sold.
Update: Watched it. Probably the best hockey movie since Slap Shot. Last edited by SlickyTrickyDamon; 09-26-2012 at 03:02 AM. |

The 7th season of Supernatural was just uploaded Sunday. It's good stuff, if you haven't watched it.
I also remember watching Parents as a child. Odd movie. If you haven't seen Basket Case, I think that's on there too. Another 80's gem. |

It's been a long time since I saw Basket Case. Awesome. If you're a fan of Troma I believe that the Toxic Avenger films are available now.

My son owns the television downstairs and plays Brutal Legend like a crack addict, I suppose I could watch it on my computer upstairs.

Or you could just claim ownership of the television because your hard earned money paid for it.

It had a very straight-forward story, likable main-characters, the violence was great and the Russian brothers were classic.

I like that there wasn't a lame scene where Dougie reunited with his dad at the end. All the usual sports movie bullshit was missing.

Lilyhammer is pretty fucking tight. An ex-wise guy asks to be sent to Norway by the Witness Protection Program and basically fucks up a lot of people as he rebuilds.

watched a couple movies for class
"the company men" an independent movie with high profile actors, mostly boring, about CEOs and business people losing their jobs in a struggling economy "tambien la lluvia" about these directors from spain who go to bolivia to make a movie about christopher columbus's colonization of the new world and how the bolivian government tried to privatize water, a lot of parallels, good but felt like i missed a lot "bamako" a town in mali going through some mock trial, unbearable, couldn't watch it, didn't finish it |
