Netflix

Been watching lots of great stuff on Netflix

The Roky Erickson doco was eye-opening and heartbreaking, and hit very close to home as my lady is very good friends with Sumner Erickson.

Also I can't recommend enough Wayne White: Beauty Is Embarrassing. One of the best artist bio-docos I've ever seen.

I've got Herzog's Wheel of Time sitting in front of me right now.  Determined to watch it this weekend.

Couple of great series I recently watched.



Arn the Knight Templar - the complete series

This is the comprised of several separate movies/tv specials and is roughly 6 episodes long. Follows a young Swedish man and his lover who are forced to serve penance after she becomes pregnant. While she ends up in a convent, in time he becomes a knight Templar and spends many years fighting in the holy land. The story bounces between there and Scandinavia as both hope to one day be reunited. Apparently, the entire series had a relatively large production cost and it truly looks great and the acting was surprisingly good.




Longmire - Season 1

Much like Justified, I can never seem to keep up with this show. Had intended to watch it last year and completely spaced the whole season. Now that the season 2 premiere is coming up on 5/27, I'm glad I could get caught up. Pretty impressed, it reminds me of Justified with a hint of NCIS because of a couple of the characters. The biggest selling feature would be the beautiful actresses and New Mexico scenery (even though the show is set in Wyoming).

Hemlock Grove - bitter beat me to it.

we're a few episodes in and it holds my interest for the most part. worth checking out if you're into the werewolf type of stuff.

edit: Netflix also has season 1&2 of 'The Killing'. I guess season 3 is running right now. the wife watched both and yeah, the cop/cop interaction was pretty good.

I can see why people would loathe this show though. It was long and drawn out enough being able to watch back-to-back episodes on Netflix, two seasons of a weekly series to find out who killed the broad would have been frustrating as all get-out.

Nova: Secrets of the Viking Sword

Awesome. About a series of crucible-steel Viking Swords that were around 800-1000AD. I want to hang out with the blacksmith who forged one of these swords for the first time in 1000 years.

The Dust Bowl (Ken Burns)

Wow


The War (Ken Burns)

More wow. Very in depth, about how World War II affected the lives of citizens in 4 US towns, as well as The War itself. Mind blowing. Makes my own hardships seem not hard at all

Hombre.  Pretty cool late 60s Paul Newman western based on a book by Elmore Leonard.

House of exorcism/Lisa and the devil.

early 70's Italian possession flick. if you're into that kind stuff check it out, it's pretty good.   

plus there's elke summer's boobs and full frontal from some B-actress of the day (Carmen Silva).

[Danny G]

Still on a Ken Burns kick. Now watching The West.

Did you see both versions?  Very different movies, of course House of Exorcism didn't make as much sense, but the boobs were nice.
Huge Bava fan here.

[peoplething]

No, just the 'House of Excorcism' version.

and yeah it was pretty damn confusing until the end. Most of the time I was wondering which 'zone/dimension/time/hell/psyche' was the most relevant.

But I guess that kept me engaged, because I thought the end was a cool spin on the whole possession thing, even though the house angle seemed to come out of nowhere and was extremely abrupt.

just read the wiki page on the film(s).

wow, lots of drama surrounding that flick. I totally agree with 'The Exorcist' ripoff comments. After reading the plot of 'Lisa' it seems like a straight forward 'devil claims a soul' movie, no where near as convoluted as 'House'.

I'll see if I can find that on the innerwebs.
 

[peoplething]

if you dig this kinda stuff, watch this flick -

it's slow to start but gets awesome. it should probably be watched just to see the frigg'n enormous bush on the chick at the end.

its. huge.

he's fucking great.  I've seen Baseball, Mark Twain, and Prohibition

[Danny G]

The West was getting a little depressing so started watching Jazz instead.

Finished it and started watching it again. Only Netflix was fucking up and not letting me watch certain episodes.

Watched a few episodes of Prophets of Science Fiction. Kinda cool, but I'd rather watch Jazz again

Does The Netflix have Dr Who ?

When I say "Dr Who", I mean "Tom Baker."
With a shout oot to Peter Cushing.

Don't bother me with any of the bullshit doctors.

No, not streaming (they do have the DVD's). They have the 2005-? streaming.

Prehistoric

6 episode series on 6 major American cities and what they were like during certain epochs of the past  -- 12k years ago, 2 million years, 100 million years, 300 million years, diff times for diff episodes -- taking flora, fauna, climate and plate tectonics into consideration. Cheesy at times but pretty fascinating over all.


Weird, or What?

Unexplained/weird phenomena show. Fun, occasionally interesting,  that's about it.

I can't be bothered with downloading, torrents and shit so Netflix is great for me. Because of my job I don't have time to follow any series on TV either. Scandinavian Netflix has a poor selection compared to US Netflix, but you can past that (depending on the device).

The quality isn't great, but it's flawless on my friends TV. Don't know if it's the internet connection or difference between my TV and his PS3.

Some good series:
Arn
Red Dwarf
Walking Dead
Star Trek
Metalocalypse

The second season American Horror Story recently started streaming on Netflix.  I binged on it and it was really entertaining, much better than the first season, IMO.  Some genuinely disturbing moments in it.

[whoshotthefrog]

I have this in my NetFlix queue. Is it worth moving up to the top of my list?

[Token]

I loved it - screenplay, storyline, and the way it was shot was on some whole 80's cheapass video camcorder.

"The Act of Killing"

Watch it.
