Latest Netflix Selection?

Better Off Dead has two super quotes. The rest of it is pure trash. Can't stand him.

I've been on this forum for 6 years now. I'm no dummy...

We'll just have to disagree on the quality that is defined by Better Off Dead.

For dinner, we have Fraunch bread, Fraunch dressing, and Fraunch fries. And to drink, Peru!

I lose IQ points with every post. I now need velcro shoes.

Finishing up 24 season 5. Good writing. Jack Bauer has some terrible days.

Working my way through Battlestar Gallactica today.

I'm on the road in metro-Philly. I've been busy so far this week and haven't opened the shipping envelopes yet.

In my mailbox when I get home:
Dark City: Director's Cut

In my roll-aboard:
Escape from L.A.
The Sorcerer's Apprentice

I watched Sorecerer's Aprentice on a plane. I'm glad I had a lot of work to do on that flight.

Streamed "The Parking Lot Movie" and "Restrepo" today.
Both quite good, in completely different ways.

Just watched those last week and agree.

I have "The Fantastic Mr Fox", "The Hurt Locker", and "Drag Me to Hell" in my roll-aboard. I haven't pulled them out of the Netflix envelope yet. I have several Blu Ray titles at Kmart I haven't gotten to yet. Inception, The Social Network, and Machete. The miracle of direct deposit is great but this work thing is highly overrated.

I thought "The hurt Locker" was good.

Couldn't even finish watching that movie and I have a high tolerance for sitting through bad movies.

We just watched "Icebreaker", which is set in Killington and was pretty cheesy.

A low budget and obscure Sundance reject... Adventures of Power, I highly recommend it.

Funny ...just watched this a few days ago, too. Needed something to distract me for a 90min training ride in the basement...all I can say is the only reason I didn't turn it off was I didn't want to get off the bike and the remote was out of reach. I'm a sucker for about anything and love cheese, but WOW.

I maintain that Frozen was far better. B disagrees.

I'll put that in the Instant queue for my next ride. Perused the synopsis a bit ago but didn't want to fuel my lift-phobia...hits me occasionally when stopped in the middle of two towers and the chair starts bouncing.

Watched Salt. It pretty much sucked.

 

[riverc0il]

We just watched Everything Put Together which absolute sucked.We watched it based on other movies directed by Marc Forster (Stay--incredible, Stranger Than Fiction--how can anyone make Will Farrell good?, Finding Neverland, etc.). Given just how terrible this first effort was, I am surprised Mr. Forster was ever given a chance with a big budget movie. I actually like low budget early effort flicks. This is just bad all around.

Catfish

Unusual story line, very provocative and left me with a lot of questions; it will pull you in completely. I don't want to give away too much but it's about the pitfalls of social networking (how's that for vagueness?). Some quotes from rottentomatoes: "The film's freewheeling strangeness leaves the viewer unable to decide if it is truthful or exploitative, genuine or faked;" and "Just as you think you're heading towards thriller territory, with street-smart New Yorkers confronting Midwestern loons, the film mutates into a study of benevolence, understanding and forgiveness."

Hot Fuzz

Hilarious over the top insanity.

...yes, that is Simon Pegg.

Watched Eat Pray Love the other day, and must admit, it was terrible.
Then watched Red, and must admit it was thoroughly enjoyable. I hope that the CIA's assassins are more like that that like Jason Bourne.

I had a feeling Eat Pray Love would be terrible. The book was good, though.

Watched Old Dogs with the kids. It was okay as a family movie.

Also: Adrift in Manhattan and All the Days before Tomorrow. I liked them. Really loving having access to indie films through streaming! Watching a lot of movies I never would have thought of otherwise.
