If you have never seen the show "Party Down," I HIGHLY recommend it. Pure brilliance. Like a cross between 30 Rock and Entourage. I had never heard of it but am now addicted. Unfortunately, like all good shows, it was canceled.

I am deep into Battlestar Galactica, the first season. Too deep to turn back now.
It is pretty damn good.
Frozen is on netflix now
A few days ago on Netflix I watched "A Very Long Engagement," or "Un long dimanche de fiançailles." It's a French film about a soldier and his fiancée in France during and immediately after WWI. Thought it was pretty good. I think WWII eclipsed the first Great War in the media, but there are so many WWI stories that have never been told.
I watched Food Inc last night. Scared the shit outta me.
Also.
La Femme Nakita
Watched "King of Kong" last night, and thought it was great. Very... interesting glimpse into a world I didn't realize existed. I'd check it out even if you don't play video games.
Also watched "The Parking Lot Movie" last night. Maybe not as good as King of Kong, but definitely worth the hour of your time.
Don't know if someone mentioned it already, but "Dear Zachary" is very much worth watching. One of the more moving documentaries that I've seen...ever.
"VBS Guide to Travel" is an entertaining series.
Wish more ESPN docs would be available for streaming.
Dexter
If you dont have showtime like myself the first two seasons are on netflix. Its like watching a 12 hour movie, each episode goes directly into the next one and its quite addicting. Just turned on to it two weeks ago and I'm half way through season 2. Unfortunately season 3 and 4 are not instant yet.
Blue mountain state.
Comedy central series about college football, minus the football and plus the partying. If you like stupid comedy you will love it.
agreed, though I didn't need more of that "corporate evil is everywhere" taste in my mouth. To be positive, it motivated me to quit drinking shit beer.Quote:

because it's awesome.
I watched The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo last night and followed it up with the The Girl that played with Fire (or was it kicked a wasps nest) tonight. Anyway. I've watched the first two and they're both great. I thought the first was a little better. The second feels like more of a set-up for the third. I'll definitely be watching the third installment soon.
IP MAN. bruce lee's mentor. must see.
It definitely is. I can't speak for the third movie, but the book really ramped things up.Quote:

Great thread by the way. Just got a roku and catching up on old flicks.
Intelligence - sorta a canadian version of The Wire, but with regards to the grow-ops... Only about 4 episodes in, but I'm completely hooked.
Really? I read and enjoyed the first two books. Just started the third and almost gave up on it. Seems like it has been ramping up for a lame-ass courtroom drama. Maybe I will stick with it for a bit.Quote:

Seconded.Quote:

Stick with the book though. It does not disappoint.
Watched it last night reminded me of a rental/ski shop I worked at for 6 years. The customer was never right and the owner was ok with that as long as we were making money.Quote:

ha, i recommended the parking lot movie on page 3 without having seen your post. i saw king of kong a while ago. really liked both. tough to compare the two, but i may nod towards parking lot movie because i love the commentary on how people can be such jackasses and think nothing of itQuote:

The third, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest is on par with the first- definitely an ok watch.Quote:
