couple new additions worth watching: 'Crimson tide' and the new 'Manchurian Candidate'.
If you think you'd like some tripster horror about MK Ultra and human pineal extracted DMT experiments with a little dose of a Hunter S. Thompson tribute character, check out Banshee Chapter. Watch at night with the lights low.
Old Boy. Cruising 'flix Thursday eve and came across this and thought, fuck it, hit play and was blown away. Man what a good flick. This is a must see. I guess it's a remake of some Japanese cult film but man did it deliver.
south korean, and the original is far more then just some cult film. give it a shotQuote:

No date announced other than "coming soon"... first season was excellent, It was on Netflix or Hulu?
Excellent show - on netflix
They all look the same. When I researched it everyone said Japanese cult, oh well. Thanks for the heads up on the original man, will hunt for it to watch.Quote:

Copper, great series. Out of the Furnace, excellent performances all around, awesome story line.
The Grandmaster
Wong Kar Wai’s martial art(s) house take on the life of Ip Man is visually stunning and manages to accomplish everything that Ang Lee failed to do with Crouching Tiger/Hidden Dragon: combine a love quadrangle and insane action into a cohesive whole. Rumor has it that more than 30 minutes were trimmed from the original Asian release, and one feels that a little something is missing from the third act, but overall the look and feel of the film is a well-crafted and updated ode to classic kung fu films; hardcore kung fu fans should be appeased with the action and philosophical asides and laypeople should be fine with the drama and opulent set pieces. Yuen Woo Ping (yes, he of Matrix/Once Upon A Time In China/Iron Monkey/Drunken Master/Fist of Legend fame) contributes some engaging fight choreography which Wai turns into a cinematic ballet of balled fists and lightning feet.
Bunch of PBS's Nova got put up. A lot of those are good.
GRAND PIANO
If you liked the vintage neo-Hitchcockian period of Brian DePalma (Dressed to Kill, Blow Out, Body Double), as well as the visual stylings of Dario Argento (Susperia, Deep Red) then chances are you'll dig this nifty little pot-boiler.

I'm a few episodes in to the BBC show Copper and am enjoying it.
I really enjoyed the Japanese flick, "Battle Royale." Hopefully they still have it on Netflix. It's worth a watch if you don't mind seeing a bunch of high school kids fighting to the death.
^^^are you kidding? Given the blatant rip off by the hunger games it would be unamerican to say you don't like to watch teens kill each other.

Senna
One of the best movies I've ever seen, and I'm not a car/racing guy. Very powerful movie.
I doubt is on Netflix but just watched "Into the Mind"today for the first time. What a great story line around harmony from the mountain tops.
