Watched Compliance (2012) last night. It was interesting, but rather fucked up. It's inspired by true events and involves someone calling a fast-food restaurant manager pretending to be a police officer. The guy on the phone tries to use authority to manipulate the person on the other end to do things. Yeah, certainly not an uplifting movie but it held my attention.
Supposedly? I thought it was based on true events: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strip_search_prank_call_scam#Mount_Washington.2C_Kentucky.2C_incident
Either way, no way I'm watching that.

Wrong wording, meant to just say "inspired by true events". It said at the end that it happened in like 30 states.
A "feel-bad" movie if there ever was one lol

Just saw it. So gooooooood. I have the biggest smile on my face right now.
Lol, that was what popped into my mind when I read it. I put the movie into my Q as I'm wondering how those genres mix.
Timecrimes had me hooked the first 30-45 minutes. I think it fell apart a bit in the middle. But the movie is mind-binding, and pretty good. Just go into it without reading wtf it is about.
See You Next Wednesday

Just saw this. Half way through I though I had the film figured out and wondered how they were gonna fill the remaining time.... They did just that.
I will report after watching, because the concept is biting at my curiosity.
The sequel is streaming as well. Really good!

Fuck that movie, i had a vague interest and decided to watch, there was some brilliant editing, sound design, and production. But i cannot handle creepy shit any more.
When shows expire does netflix go about getting them back at any stage or are they just gone for good? I had a lot of those Korean shows I wanted to watch and netflix is pretty much my only way of watching them
Most of the Korean dramas on Netflix seem to available on Hulu as well if you don't mind the ads.
America In Primetime- A really good 4 part documentary about television. Includes interviews from the creators of Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, Mad Men, and True Blood just to name a few. Tons of television actors, producers and so on. Just really well done and very informative. I had never heard of this, I would love someone to tell me where it originally aired.
Compliance- An interesting take on a true story, but there is not much going on there. It does not do a good job of conveying the horror of the situation it presents.
SchoolGirl Hitchhikers: I will just quote the description. "Two comely young hitchhikers with a penchant for lesbian sex become involved with a band of jewel thieves when they enter a seemingly abandoned villa." I think it does what it is trying to do quite well.
The Gift- I have seen this movie a dozen times and still love it. Sam Raimi horror film that is more in line with A Simple Plan then Evil Dead. Just a really fun flick.
Whale Rider- A film that deserves a lot more love then I think it gets. Not many people watched it ten years ago despite I think the lead young actress getting nominated for all sorts of awards. A real quality flick.

I havent done any math like that but i try and pay attention and usually its about even, till the exchange on the 1st when there was a deficit of about 9 pages. Just checked still above 14k watchable titles/shows so it must be somewhat neutral still to stay above 14k.

Watched Margin Call. It's a bit of a dry subject (2008 banking crisis) but I loved it. Great cast. Well acted. And they made the crisis and how certain firms reacted, easier to understand. Also, it helps to remind that the situation was brought about by people that knew about it and made the situation worse and people that tried to stop it by doing the right thing. I know for me, sometimes I just think of "Wall Street" as some autonomous monster that has a single will and its good to be reminded that there was human conflict behind the whole situation.

I watched a few movies over the weekend...
Hell - pretty solid post apocalyptic foreign movie. It was entertaining. The best one of the weekend lot for me.
Rosewood Lane - this one interested me for a bit. It's not what you think it is but, it would be better if it was...I think.
Beneath the Darkness - I thought it was average until the very last line:
That was so cheesy it ruined the entire movie for me. It could have been good. The acting in it is pretty bad though. That's a little surprising with Dennis Quaid in it.
Kill 'em All - your average B assassin movie.

Last batch of movies, there were more expired, than added. The batch before that, it was a bit of a wash.

If you looked at the monthly releases and what expired for the past two years, Netflix was losing more than they would be gaining. It's slowed down it seems but still sometimes you see far more expiring than being added. Don't remember seeing any point recently where more was added than expired.
If you know a way to access their data it wouldn't be hard to find out.

Cheeks Spread for Digital Only Future
I enjoyed the horde, sort of in the same vein as the raid, and people fighting zombies hand to hand is pretty fun. The overall premise doesn't make a lick of sense though. Why are the people trying to get out and why are the zombies trying to get in? An almost completely abandoned tower block seems the perfect place to hole up in a zombie apocalypse.
Yea it's completely stupid.
There's really no sense in it at all. How did the apartment tower get so crazy so quickly?
It was fun but not worth thinking about too much.

just noticed that the screenshot that pops up for safety not guaranteed on my xbox is kind of a spoiler.

There's a touch or two of brilliance in this movie. I'm amazed by how many people don't realize that it's supposed to be funny.

Straight up comedies, or the style of the show?

Shaolin Soccer
Fearless
The Karate Kid 1/2
Game of Death
District B13 (more action than martial, but still has some good hand to hand combat)
Easily the dopest martial arts flick ever. The part where the grandparents discuss if they are a burden on their children was gripping.
