I watch a lot of movies on my PC and have a Netflix account. I wanted to start a thread on movies, reviews, recommendations that are available on instant play. You can use the public description but if you can tell us your thoughts and what you liked about the movie.

Thanks

Greenfingers

It's one big (green) thumbs-up for this affecting true-life tale about hardened con Colin Briggs (Clive Owen), a small-time criminal who gets a new lease on life -- behind prison bars -- as an award-winning gardener. Standing out in supporting roles are David Kelly as a prisoner chum of Briggs's who coaxes him out of his shell and Helen Mirren as a world-class horticulturalist who worries when her daughter falls for Briggs.

Cast:Clive Owen, Helen Mirren, David Kelly, Warren Clarke, Danny Dyer, Paterson JosephDirector:Joel HershmanGenres:Comedy, Best of British Humor, United Kingdom, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, Foreign RegionsThis movie is:Feel-good, Quirky, Inspiring, Emotional

My Comments: I really like feel good movies and this one was just nice. For me it showed the power of nature and how it can transform the soul. I'm also a gardener so I really liked this move.


The Ramen Girl

When her boyfriend leaves her high and dry in Tokyo, spoiled American tourist Abby (Brittany Murphy) finds solace in a neighborhood ramen noodle house run by a cantankerous old chef (Toshiyuki Nishida), who agrees to take her on as an apprentice cook. But will the dirty grunt work and endless criticism drive Abby away before she discovers the serene beauty in the perfect bowl of soup -- and in herself? Robert Allan Ackerman directs this comedy.

Cast:Brittany Murphy, Toshiyuki Nishida, Tammy Blanchard, Sohee Park, Kimiko Yo, Renji Ishibashi, Maria Abe, Daniel Evans, Masayoshi Haneda, Hajime Inoue, Justin Berti, Judai Ikeshita, Sonya Inge, Gabriel MannDirector:Robert Allan AckermanGenres:Comedy, Indie Comedies, Food StoriesThis movie is:Heartfelt

My Comments: Really cute movie with a happy ending. I just love the determination of Brittany Murphy's character Abby. I also didn't know that Ramen was an art and that the cheap stuff in cellophane bags isn't authentic ramen. It made me research online how to really make it and I realized its not that easy BUT I will make it one day because of this movie.


More coming... please share your favs.

OMG!!! This is my most favorite film ever, bar none!! I am a classic movie nut, and would be hard put to choose which are my faves, but this one wins hands down!! I've seen it a gazillion times, and it never fails to make me cry! The Rachmaninoff score in the background sets the pace and envelopes this film with pathos - however, it is a bit too loud for my taste, and at times the background music just overwhelms the film.

My rating: 2 tissue boxes!

I have quite a long queue for instant streaming and have just added Greenfingers. Thanks, it does look like a good film. We just realized that the new Wii allows for netflix streaming so we can get it downstairs now too! woohoo!

My list ranges from mystery/ suspense to quite a few documentaries that I have wanted to see Sophie Scholl, Steal a Pencil For Me, and some older ones I loved Brothers Keeper: 10th Anniversary edition along with some series that I missed ( Torchwood) and some gay flicks from Logo .

I also get my classic movie fixes there, like Sherlock Holmes films and others my wife isn't as fond of as I. ( I won't even mention my B horror film "issue", suffice to say instant streaming is a good way to be able to catch them without bugging the heck out of her..LOL)

Thanks for the good ideas!

Japanese Story
2003 R 110 minutes
During a field trip, geologist Sandy (Toni Collette) has the unfortunate luck of being marooned in the Pilbara desert with a man she can't stand. Finding him completely irritating and rather egotistical, Sandy soon learns that his feelings for her are just as contemptuous. The saying that things can only get better doesn't apply to these two, as their increasingly remote location only adds to the already challenging situation.

Cast:Toni Collette, Gotaro Tsunashima, Matthew Dyktynski, Lynette Curran, Yumiko Tanaka, Kate Atkinson, Bill Young, John HowardDirector:Sue Brooks

My comments: I love United States of Tara and Toni Collette! To be honest has she not been in this movie I would have overlooked it and the description doesn't even begin to accurately describe all of this film. First of all Toni Collette has an Aussie accent.
It's true they are stranded and ready to kill each other but through all the challenges they become lovers and the story has a heart wrenching ending leaving you thinking, "wow".

The first 30 minutes are kinda boring. I really enjoyed the movie and want to say more but don't want to spoil it. If you like romantic drama's you'll enjoy this film.

I want to get it hooked up to play on my flat screen in my bedroom. You have a WII or you are using Tivo? I have a Tivo but to be honest I was watching shows and movies online and didnt see the point in paying for a subscription and keeping a phone line hooked to it. I was barely using it. BUT movies is another thing.

We disconnected our TiVO when we got our blu-ray. We're gonna sell it at a yard sale or donate it. The best thing for me about the blu-ray is the ability to do streaming. Heck, they still don't release enough Blu-ray videos and they still cost more dammit.LOL!

here's one of my favorites. interesting story, very moving. hard not to give too much detail with a description, so i'll say heavy drama about a failing marriage and new romance. i love Vera Farmiga (Down to the Bone, Quid Pro Quo, Orphan, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas). 5/5

I don't know much about Blue Ray. I thought it was just a player. I'll need to look into it. I pretty much like the same shows your lady likes: Army Wives, Big Love, etc and it burns ass to pay 10.00 a month for HBO when I just watch Big Love. The other shows I just watch on my PC. Actually I bought a little 10 inch mini from Dell because I wanted to use Kindle for PC and still have an emergency laptop. I love taking it outside on the porch and in full screen mode can watch movies and shows no problem.

But there are certain movies I want to watch on my big flat screen. Plug in my long corded bad ass headphones and the dogs can bark all they want!

i finally watched this and absolutely adored it. loved every bit from the setting to the dynamic between the captain and "Lucia." funny, sad, sweet. everything i could ask for. i felt some odd sense of comfort that i usually dont feel after watching some of best romances. it's been a while since i drifted off into such a sound sleep like i did after curling up with this one. thanks Netflix.

I'm not a huge old movie fan but enjoyed this one.

The World of Suzie Wong
1960NR126 minutes
Forbidden love takes center stage in this romantic movie starring William Holden as Robert Lomax, an American traveler visiting Hong Kong who meets and quickly grows smitten with a local woman (Nancy Kwan). Groundbreaking in its time for its portrayal of interracial love, the film shows the couple straining against the judgments of others and of themselves, as Lomax grapples with his feelings and Wong wonders whether it's meant to be.

The Legend of 1900(La Leggenda del Pianista Sull'oceano)
1998R121 minutes
Raised aboard an ocean liner after being abandoned there as an infant, 1900 (Tim Roth) becomes a virtuoso piano player who learns about the outside world only through interactions with passengers, never setting foot on land, even for the love of his life. Years later, the ship may be destroyed, and a former band member fears that 1900 may still be aboard, willing to go down with the ship in this compelling drama from director Giuseppe Tornatore.

This documentary will give you the history of racism, social and economic oppression being the root of how *clubs* came to be.

It will show you the imaginary lines that divide and keep people in their place.

I rented this from RedBox over the weekend and haven't gotten to see it yet - I hope its as good as I think it will be!

We have been on a Netflix Streaming marathon - Season 1 and 2 of Dexter had us driving to Winston-Salem, the closest location with Season 3 DVD. Season 4 was purchased from Amazon and I streamed it from the laptop to the flatscreen.

Now we are Lost addicts! I never got into it when it was on TV, but being able to watch episodes/seasons back to back - well, I am getting a LOT of knitting/crocheting done!

Mary and Max

"Mary Dinkle, a chubby 8-year-old Australian girl, and Max Horovitz, an obese, middle-aged New Yorker with Asperger's syndrome, are a pair of unlikely pen pals in this quirky clay animation feature from writer-director Adam Elliot. Corresponding for two decades, the friends delve into a variety of topics, including sex, kleptomania, psychiatry, taxidermy and more. Toni Collette and Philip Seymour Hoffman provide the voices of Mary and Max."

My comments: Incredibly sweet (and substantial) animated film.

MI-5 Vol. 1-4

"BBC television series following the personal and political dynamics facing so-called "spooks," the agents who deal in information and secrecy for Britain's MI-5. Because life as an employee of a counterintelligence agency is anything but typical, any given day can involve life-threatening situations, hurry-up-and-wait scenarios -- and moments when the fate of the world hangs in the balance."

My comments: Gripping suspenseful television series with high production values. Wayyyy better than '24' in my opinion. I was totally addicted. Warning: they are many scenes of violence.

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo

"Journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Michael Nyqvist) and rebellious computer hacker Lisbeth Salander (Noomi Rapace) team up to investigate the unsolved disappearance of wealthy Henrik Vanger's (Sven-Bertil Taube) teen niece (Ewa Fröling), only to uncover dark secrets about Vanger's powerful family. Niels Arden Oplev directs this Swedish thriller based on the first novel from Stieg Larsson's best-selling trilogy."

My comments: Read the books first, if you are even so slightly inclined - they are *amazing*. This film adaptation is very good. Watch it before the likely-to-be-horrid American version is released.

A Blu-Ray or WII player will allow for Netflix streaming to your tv. I;m not sure what other devices will, but we have both of these and use Netflix all the time! I just wish they had more available for instant viewing.

I think dvd's will become a thing of the past with more streaming available. Blockbuster also has it now and I know that Blu- Ray makes that accessible also. Not sure if Blockbuster works with WII or not. We haven't signed up for that yet.. lol!

C.R.A.Z.Y.

This was a film recommended by someone I adore.

"There are five boys in the Beaulieu family -- Christian, Raymond, Antoine, Zachary and Yvan. But Zac (played by Emile Vallee and Marc-Andre Grondin) is the only one who's gay. That's why growing up in Montreal alongside his heterosexual brothers and his strict, emotionally distant father (Michel Cote) proves especially challenging for the blossoming outsider, who finds solace in the music of Pink Floyd, the Rolling Stones and David Bowie."

It is a French Canadian film about the relationship between a gay son and his father. The film spans the 60s-80s and has a pretty fantastic soundtrack, the humor is quirky and intelligent.


Let The Right One In

"Twelve-year-old Oskar (Kåre Hedebrant), the constant target of bullies, spends his time plotting revenge and collecting news items about the grisly murders plaguing his town. But things change when he meets a new girl named Eli (Lina Leandersson), a misfit vampire who steals his heart. As a serial killer continues to prey on teen boys in their small Swedish village, Eli helps Oskar find the courage to stand up to his tormenters."

Has anyone else seen this? I have friends who loved it...I expected to...
but it was too dark and twisted for me. I watched it, but it took me weeks to finish it. I wonder what others think?

The Girl Who Played With Fire

"Tech expert Lisbeth Salander (Noomi Rapace) becomes the prime suspect when two journalists, including Dag Svensson (Hans Christian Thulin), die after Millennium magazine publisher Mikael Blomkvist (Michael Nyqvist) launches an exposé of the Swedish sex trade. In Part 2 of the trilogy based on the action novels of Stieg Larsson, the vampiric Salander vanishes as Blomkvist digs deep into a possible conspiracy."

For those of you who have read the Millennium Trilogy, film #2.

(ever see 'La Femme Nikita'? and then have the misfortune of watching 'Point of No Return'?)

Read (and then see) the Millennium Trilogy now, before it is dumbed down.


Aimee & Jaguar

Based on the memoirs of Lilly Wust, this is the story of two women who fall in love in 1943 Berlin: Lilly (Juliane Köhler), the wife of a Nazi officer, and Felice (Maria Schrader), a Jewish journalist. When the two women begin their affair, they rechristen themselves Aimée and Jaguar to help avoid detection. They then set up housekeeping and try to tune out the war, but the Gestapo is never far behind.

actually Christie and Jess turned me onto this movie.

This movie is a total trip. It centers around a colorful West Virginia family. It's like reality TV rolled into a documentary. I can't even really describe it but it will make you laugh, cry and unsure if you should feel deep compassion or get these people their own island.

Read the reviews at netflix... it will tell you more. I thought it was great. A few people remind me of them. lol I guess its funny because I live in Southern Virginia and this is all pretty common in these parts. lol

There was a documentary on Instant Play not too long ago called "Prodigal Sons." I highly recommend it.

Also, all the seasons of Wire in the Blood, most of the seasons of M.I.-5 and Waking the Dead -- all really good BBC or ITV shows from the UK are on Instant Play too.

Another documentary I'd recommend is "Exit Through the Gift Shop." It's up for an Oscar, I think. Great documentary about graffiti artists, in particular Banksy.

I am thinking about getting either a Wii or a roku (http://www.roku.com/).

Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

roku is cool but if I get the new sony with google I'll get access to netflix and hulu but for an already existing tv yes, its great.

I bought my mom this antenna
Amazon.com: Terk HDTVa Indoor Amplified High-Definition Antenna for Off-Air HDTV Reception: Electronics

she picks up local stations and then some. The picture is great. Lots of good reasons not to pay for cable. I wouldnt mind but sick sick of the prices and commercials on top of paying for programming. I watch all my shows via internet but an antenna would be nice for local.

ok, a few good instant play finds on this rainy ass weekend...

Chaos Theory - This movie only goes to prove how one wrong move can domino out of control. Very moving and a few tear jerking moments.

Return to Me - With Minnie Driver, I just loved this movie.

Fetishes - lol- wow, an interesting kinkomentary about the professional dungeon Pandoras Box in NYC. I didn't think it was a good depiction of the scene per se but had some interesting scenes and it had a few hot parts.

The latest sports Wii my friend has is amazing.I could get hooked and stay home all day though playing games. I know my brain would go numb without social stimulation, and I'd be a cranky ass old stay at home fart playing with games and lose my social skills..:pile:.. and probably be cleaning the light switches with Q-tips or something bizarro...or just be snarky in between the games and stuff..Think I'll go play pool with the bois now.

Yes. Yes! and a resounding YES. I watched this a month ago on my Netflix and absolutely love it. I love the guy that plays Sherlock and how they developed the Sherlock character. And also love the background they gave Holmes.

Do you know any more about the series? Like if it's still running, or other episodes?

Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead is one of a few must see on NetFlix if you are concerned with health, weight and food safety.

A few others I highly recommend along these lines:

Ingredients - Food safety and cost doesn't have to be that complicated if communities supported it.

The Future of Food - Whats going on really in the food systems. You should be very concerned.

This movie is not on Netflix yet but I found a free link here:

http://www.moviefreenow.com/watch-the-help-online-free-2011

Just close the little ad box that talks about upgrading, click play, then pause for about 10 min to let the stream buffer.

I really enjoy this movie. On one hand it made me sad remembering that it wasn't that long ago we segregated. In fact there were remnants of it when I was a child. My mother grew up in Birmingham AL and would tell me stories that made me sick.

anyhow, I thought this movie was lighthearted and yet at the same time it reminded us that it wasn't that long ago we had these racial issue. We still have them today.

Great thread!! Am turning into a Netflix junkie myself :) I have also found many great, free movies on HULU. One by the title of "Ink" is well worth watching. It's a low-budget, well made film about how we choose to be both in life and death.

Some of my Netflix faves:

The Tudors - Must see Showtime series about Henry VIII and his reign as king

Whale Wars - Original founder of Green Peace has his own organization. It's about there battle against the Japanese whaling industry

Weeds - Definitely a good time killer :)

Off to read through the thread...lots of folks have made lots of recommendations and I need to get a list going!

There are movies based on the Terry Pratchett books??? Why don't I know about this???

In my current Netflix list are all the seasons of True Blood (Sigh, I finally broke down after hearing everyone I know rave about it.) I started reading the books and enjoyed them, so figured I'd give the series a try. I just got through season one and it was OK (I liked the books much better). On to season two.

Netflix just moved some of the 'Prime Suspect' series over to instant play.
If you've not seen it, its a great suspenseful crime drama starring Helen Miren who is quite possibly one of the best actresses ever.

Also the original/British 'Queer as Folk' has been moved over to instant as well. The first episode of the first series caused quite a stir on primetime television when it first aired in 1999/2000? The American production team didn't do the series justice when they bought the rights (shocking, I know.)

So you're an online streaming member only? Netflix Instant?
Or instant and mailer dvds?

The very latest television shows and series and films will only be available on disc. Though in terms of more recent TV series you may find what you're looking for on hulu.com (particularly with a hulu plus membership).

In terms of searching, I don't usually have trouble finding what I want via the search bar on netflix...can you give us an example?

The more specific you are (especially with titles) the better.

If I don't know what want to watch, I find the best way to look for interesting things is to search by genre: comedy, drama, documentary, thriller, tv etc.

If you click the 'Watch Instantly" button along the header, you'll see the genres in a drop down menu.

Another good tool is to click the "Taste Preferences" button also along the header and spend some time rating movies and television shows - that will help the program matrix create customized genres for you, which generates lists (which are sometimes quite amusingly titled), currently Netflix has the following lists for me:

Gritty Crime TV Shows
Understated Independent Dramas
Suspenseful BBC TV Shows
Critically Acclaimed Visually Striking Foreign Movies
Quirky TV Shows featuring a Strong Female Lead
Classic Sentimental Romantic Movies
Controversial Social and Cultural Documentaries

and then it will also generate lists that are "Like" things you've recently been watching...I have "More like Shaun the Sheep" among my taste preferences list...

I am on a stream-only plan, so if I search for something and it doesnt come up, but 500 other shows or movies with one of my search words in the title does, I know what I was looking for isnt available on Netflix streaming yet.

Also, Netflix, unlike Amazon, will not have really new and recent TV show episodes - at least not on streaming.

I am just getting back in to Netflix because I dumped my cable TV so I sifted through their streaming movies and TV this morning for about an hour adding on anything and everything that sounded even remotely interesting. lol

I wanted to watch Prince of Tides a few weeks back when my GF was here. So in the search box on Netflix homepage, I typed in movie title...it borught up something like 279 pages of titles to scroll through. I went through something like 25 pages, and still hadn't found the one I wanted, so I gave up.
Other titles I have wanted to search for...and I get a ridiculous number of pages to look through...still unable to find one I wanted.
I have also done the genres..and now have quite a few with selected shows/movies in them.
In the rating selections, I have done those as well.
It is just so darn frustrating to want to find a movie without having to read 279 pages....:(.
Thanks for the help, sparkle!!!

Grab a beer, wine glass, doobie and sit back to watch this ridiculous B movie. Vivica Fox was the best thing on it.

"Mutants" - it's a subtitled movie, foreign Zombie Apocalyptic trip!! Awesome

"Exit Humanity" - Civil War piece with a graphic novel feel to it, I liked it he loved it it's pretty awesome because it was not campy. Dee Wallace was awesome and had a great "quick draw scene"

"Beautiful Boxer" - this movie was recommended in one of the the movie threads by stargazinboi I believe I may be wrong:| Loved loved the movie the story and the characters..


These are ALL available on NetFlix!!

Should we get Netflix, the streaming variety?

I watch one or two movies a week, but nothing too serious.

I like Jane Austen and other 'period' movies, but I also love movies like Iron Man and Captain America. We'd probably watch BBC series too.

Yes, I enjoy it very much! I think it is worth the $7.99 per month.

We don't have cable and rely on Hulu and Netflix for our in home entertainment. I LOVE NetfliX because of their foreign movie choices and I can watch show's from TV on there from Season 1.

I cancelled my Netflix.

In the beginning, I watched it almost constantly - but after exhausting my interests, I couldn't justify spending the 7.99/month anymore, especially after going a few months of not watching it.

I also found myself visiting Redbox often. For the amount of movies I watch these days, it turns out to be cheaper and more viable.
Netflix takes forever to put out new movies.

Thankfully, I caught Walking Dead Season 2 on AMC's marathon. Netflix allowed me to watch Season 1 and got me hooked. :)

I use netflix and since I have Amazon Prime (so worth the 75.00 a year btw I save a lot more then that on shipping cost) I also use Amazon Video. Amazon may very well start seriously kicking Netflix's ass if Netflix doesn't start releasing sooner. Although rentals are 1.99 to 3.99 the same as a video store, I often find videos on Amazon I can't get on Netflix.

I'd love to get rid of my cable and I may one day. I have roku but my TV is internet ready so it has lots of its own apps. I also have kindle fire and often watch movies on it. Netflix has apps for almost every reader and tablet now. I even watch Son's of Anarchy on my iphone!

I just got my netflix to play on this computer. It wouldn't play. It wouldn't play on my old netbook too, so I haven't had it in eight or nine months. Over this summer, I was in a vacation rental that had cable, so I didn't miss it.

I have been spending money on Amazon lately. I have Prime too, but I have been spending money to watch TV episodes. I probably still will, but it's good to have the netflix option.

I just looked up my last Amazon orders:

NCIS

This, for me, exactly. Well, except for the Son's of Anarchy thing. And I read (but haven't yet investigated) that Amazon now has an app to let you stream their movies on an iThingy.

Also, if you BUY a movie from Amazon's streaming library, you can both watch it online any time and download the file to store on and watch from your PC or other device.

If you're a student (or just have a .edu email address) you can get Hulu for half-price. I haven't been watching them much but that may change once I drop cable, since according to friends who watch it regularly they're great for recent TV shows.

And I'm going to put in a plug for my cheesy current favorite dance movie which features a baby butch/femme love story, called Leading Ladies. Don't expect an Oscar winning script or acting, but if you enjoy cheesy old movies (especially old movie musicals) you'll love this. Plus it has two really fantastic dance scenes.

I watched a movie called "My Normal". It had a good plot idea, but it was choppy, and I think they missed the mark a little bit on the "moral" of the story. Some themes seemed in opposition of each other, and some things that got a lot of attention never proved to be of any significance later. Acting was okay for most characters, there were two standout performers. I give it 2.5 out of 5 stars - kind of interesting, but don't expect any awards.

I've recently watched both the Swedish and the UK versions of 'Wallander'.
Have you seen either?

I watched the Swedish version first and loved it.
I was really surprised to discover I enjoyed both (in different ways).
And I no longer think that Kenneth Branagh has become an over-inflated caricature of himself. I actually liked him as Wallander.

Have you seen the Norweigan version of 'The Missing'? A friend of mine, in Blighty, mentioned it. There is an American version I quite liked, I'm told the original version is great. But I can't find it anywhere.

I was kinda disappointed with Kevin Spacey's 'House of Cards'. I thought I would love it since I'm a huge political nerd, but it just seemed a bit off somehow-- the political scandals didn't really ring true and were somehow less disturbing than a lot of real political scandals.

'Never Sorry' about Ai Wei Wei is really interesting and inspiring as is 'How to Survive a Plague'.

I just found another lovely BBC series, Larks Rise to Candleford. I am already in love with the cast of characters, some of the actors are from my other new favorite, Downton Abbey, and there is the added bonus of a series that includes Dawn French, whom I can't seem to get enough of! There are already 4 seasons available, and IMDB shows that the series is still active.


It is not on Netflix, it is on Amazon Prime (free movies/tv shows with yearly membership). I didn't think anyone would mind if I posted about Amazon Prime programs here, because it is also a streaming service, and I just didn't see the need for a whole new thread.

this is a huluplus recommendation (not netflix)

"The Long Way Down" and "The Long Way Round"

Ewan McGregor and his best buddy plan two epic journeys on their motorcycles with limited support staff.

In 'The Long Way Down' they drive from Scotland to South Africa.

And in the 'The Long Way Round' they drive from London to New York, the eastern route (via Russia, the 'Stans, Alaska, Canada and finally the continental US)

C.R.A.Z.Y.

This was a film recommended by someone I adore.

"There are five boys in the Beaulieu family -- Christian, Raymond, Antoine, Zachary and Yvan. But Zac (played by Emile Vallee and Marc-Andre Grondin) is the only one who's gay. That's why growing up in Montreal alongside his heterosexual brothers and his strict, emotionally distant father (Michel Cote) proves especially challenging for the blossoming outsider, who finds solace in the music of Pink Floyd, the Rolling Stones and David Bowie."

It is a French Canadian film about the relationship between a gay son and his father. The film spans the 60s-80s and has a pretty fantastic soundtrack, the humor is quirky and intelligent.


Let The Right One In

"Twelve-year-old Oskar (Kåre Hedebrant), the constant target of bullies, spends his time plotting revenge and collecting news items about the grisly murders plaguing his town. But things change when he meets a new girl named Eli (Lina Leandersson), a misfit vampire who steals his heart. As a serial killer continues to prey on teen boys in their small Swedish village, Eli helps Oskar find the courage to stand up to his tormenters."

Has anyone else seen this? I have friends who loved it...I expected to...
but it was too dark and twisted for me. I watched it, but it took me weeks to finish it. I wonder what others think?

The Girl Who Played With Fire

"Tech expert Lisbeth Salander (Noomi Rapace) becomes the prime suspect when two journalists, including Dag Svensson (Hans Christian Thulin), die after Millennium magazine publisher Mikael Blomkvist (Michael Nyqvist) launches an exposé of the Swedish sex trade. In Part 2 of the trilogy based on the action novels of Stieg Larsson, the vampiric Salander vanishes as Blomkvist digs deep into a possible conspiracy."

For those of you who have read the Millennium Trilogy, film #2.

(ever see 'La Femme Nikita'? and then have the misfortune of watching 'Point of No Return'?)

Read (and then see) the Millennium Trilogy now, before it is dumbed down.


Aimee & Jaguar

Based on the memoirs of Lilly Wust, this is the story of two women who fall in love in 1943 Berlin: Lilly (Juliane Köhler), the wife of a Nazi officer, and Felice (Maria Schrader), a Jewish journalist. When the two women begin their affair, they rechristen themselves Aimée and Jaguar to help avoid detection. They then set up housekeeping and try to tune out the war, but the Gestapo is never far behind.

I completely agree with you also about the original Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.Noomi rocked that movie like she WAS the character.I read the books she was so perfect casting

Downton Abbey is such a wonderful piece of television; all the characters have wonderful range and such authentic emotional texture, I'm quote enjoying it! <<<< said with a British accent of course.

There have been few filmmakers who have enchanted me consistently like the work of Australian Peter Weir. More recently you may have appreciated his "Master and Commander" with Russell Crowe--

but earlier work like "Gallipoli", a coming of age/redemption/war is stupid/duty and honor (starring a young and virtually unknown fellow Aussie Mel Gibson)---

"Picnic at Hanging Rock" (thinly veiled homoerotic girls/women and some weird local legend, beautifully shot)--

"The Year of Living Dangerously" (an amazing film starring Gibson again, paired with Sigourney Weaver and introducing Linda Hunt AS A MAN / she won the Oscar for her role)

Thanks all for the other suggestions, I'll definitely be spending some quality time with Netflix soon! Hope you're all having a nice Sunday--

I can't recall if I mentioned this previously, but we have REALLY taken a liking to The Killing on Netflix. We found out that the show is actually going to be starting its 3rd season on cable (Teddy knows which channel, or you can google) in June. We are nearly done with the 2nd season and will be able to pick it up for the 3rd season when it gets here. It's a VERY well done show and takes place in the PNW, which makes me want to visit there even more. The scenery sometimes steals the show!

Hmm, just watched the 'Vikings' trailer. Looks like something I would like, nicely barbaric. Will have to contemplate though, I have an aversion to paying for video entertainment beyond the basic streaming fees.

After finishing the series 'The Eagle' which is about the Danish equivalent of the US CIA, I wanted some more and found the series 'The Protectors' which is the Danish sized equivalent of our US secret service, I am watching it now. I enjoy the international crime types of series, when MI5 went off it took me a while to recover.

*"Bad Girls" was camp-tastic! when it started anyway, I grew a bit tired of it by the end.

*I've started watching "Orange is the New Black", I like it, the writing is great, the acting is great, the production quality is great, but I don't LOOOOVE it like so many people seem to already. I've not felt compelled to watch the whole series in a single sitting.

One of the things I do love about it is that there are a lot of "flash back scenes" that tell the story of Piper and her GF getting together and they're set in Northampton (my town) in the early-to-mid 90s and reference places that aren't around anymore - that aspect is very nostalgic and fun. And ironically Lea DeLaria, who has a role in the production, was hanging out in Northampton during that period because she was dating a Smithie. I have colourful Lea-at-the-bar memories. :P

*Kelt, does the roku channel you described have the original (Danish) version of 'The Killing' available? It's called "Forbrydelsen" I haven't been able to find it on any other streaming site and I'd love to see it.

Also the original (Swedish) version of 'Wallander' is on Netflix, search for "Henning Mankell's Wallander" - I liked it better than the BBC version, but I thought the BBC version was pretty good!

*"Luther" is awesome! I can't wait for season 3 to be streamed over here.

*A neat series I stumbled across on Netflix recently was "Top of the Lake", a Kiwi mystery/thriller type mini-series. It has a few David Lynch-esque moments. And is quite a compelling crime thriller.

So - anyone else watching this other Netflix show, Hemlock Grove? I read an article that said you may not see it pop up in your suggestions because it is geared toward teen horror fans, but since I watch a lot of horrors, thrillers, mysteries, etc, it kept popping up as a suggestion, so I said wth. I just started it today and am on episode 3 of 13 - it's been renewed for a second season, due out in 2014.

It is set in a fictional town in PA and is kind of slow and steady in its pace - like The Killing, but it has werewolves, gypsies, and a dude who can do Jedi mind tricks on people - but in a creepy way, not in a funny Star Wars way. lol

It is also a murder mystery since *something* keeps killing young women and they are trying to find out who - so it's kind of a The Killing meets Twilight meets Harper's Island kind of show.

Oh - and Eli Roth is the exec producer and also directs at least one episode (the first one).

Here's a trailer:
