Just finished episode 4 of Orange is the New Black. I've got to say its got outstanding characters so far, very three dimensional for a few episodes. It's also an orignal take on how small decisions have huge consequences. Smart writing. I'm gonna see this one through.

The flashbacks are great in this show, especially Dogget's (the petite meth-head Jesus freak).
They filmed a flashback sequence in my neighborhood, a few weeks back, in Woodlawn Cemetery. I'm looking forward to seeing that.
Has anyone watched Hemlock Grove? I've got it in my que, but have yet to watch it.
I've made it to episode 4. I'm not sure you will like it Jeff though because it's geared more towards a teen or a Twilight-ish audience I think. Otherwise, it's ok so far. Nothing great.

I'm enjoying Hell on Wheels for the time being.
You should watch Sons of Anarchy. They have it on Netflix.
Oh Lord...I've watched Sons...and LOVED it...give me JAX!
I've only recently started watching ...well binge watching these tv things. The writing in these TV things is like amazing...I mean writing that can keep me from falling asleep for not 2 hours like a movie but for 8 hours!! I do not think I'd ever watch a TV show from week to week though. It's netflix that's made it appealing to me...that along with the excellent writing/stories.
Watched the remake of Maniac with Elijah Wood a couple hours ago. Very impressed. Very faithful to the plot and spirit of the original and improves on it in many ways. One of the rare remakes that's actually better than the original. I think fans will be very pleased.
The POV gimmick, while unnecessary, actually works pretty well and in certain scenes gives an extra lurid feeling to the proceedings. The gore is outstanding and very grim. There's some CGI blood and gore here and there, which also works surprisingly well. It's used sparingly and is subtle when it shows up.
Elijah Wood does a good job. I can buy that this guy would be able to make friends and hang around this beautiful French girl way more than I could in the original.
Solid horror movie overall. Less problematic and not a guilty pleasure like Lords of Salem was (which I still sort of enjoy). It is however very serious, disturbing, grotesque, and not exactly female friendly. If you're looking for something fun and scary in a popcorn sort of way, this is not it.
Very satisfied, not to mention pleasantly surprised.
I think it was Phil who mentioned that Ripper Street was on Netflix so I was wondering if that's just the US Netflix? I watched the series but missed the final episode and it hasn't yet surfaced anywhere here in the UK, or at least I haven't found it.
Check out my scripts...if you want to, no pressure.
Blackfish (2013) - James (Williams) has a review posted so I'll direct you to that for info. Worth a watch.
Crystal Fairy & The Magical Cactus and 2012 (2013) - Mellow indie flick from Chile starring Michael Cera about a group of twenty-somethings on a quest to find a hallucinogenic San Predo cactus. If you don't like plotless stream of consciousness flicks or hipster overtones, this probably isn't for you but I thought it was fun and had some good performances, including Cera who finally seems to be honing his skills as an actor.
Director Sebastian Silva also released a horror/psychological thriller this year called Magic Magic, which I also recommend (not on Instant Play). Cera stars again along with Juno Temple and Emily Browning.
Frances Ha (2013) - Black and white Noah Baumbach flick. Seems like the kind of film Woody Allan would've made in the 70s except focusing on present day twenty-somethings in New York. It's made a lot of 2013 Top 10 lists so far and Greta Gerwig will probably get an Oscar nod.
Robot and Frank (2012) - Sci-fi drama about an elderly man (Frank Langella) losing his memory who uses a helper robot to commit burglaries. Probably the most straightforward, screenwriter-ly film I've seen on Netflix as of late. Great performances and should appeal to most.
Sightseers (2012) - Dark romantic comedy/horror from Ben Wheatley (Kill List, A Field in England) about a serial killing couple on holiday in the countryside. The rom com is played light and sweet while the violence is played grisly and mean. The end result is pretty deranged.
Would recommend Kill List as well, which is also on Instant Play, and naturally, you Brits have no excuse not to watch A Field in England (unless you just don't want to). Both films are violent, trippy, and disturbing.
