They put the first season of Raising Hope on there.
When this show came out last year I dismissed this show as just another cookie cutter sitcom about a blue collar family, and I assume many of my fellow yuppie dooshbags did the same. The wife and I gave it a try when we saw it on Netflix, and it's really an outstanding show. Hilarious, with just the right amount of schmaltz. Plus you get the consistent intrigue of trying to figure out if Martha Plimpton is attractive or not. Top five sitcom on TV right now I think.

Just announced "Multi-Year Output Deal With Netflix for CW Network Programming."
It's not nearly as "Twillight"-esque as you would think it is. 
Not much to appeal to football fans, but Supernatural is actually really, really good and I would recommend it in a heartbeat. There's a thread devoted to it buried somewhere on the messageboard.My girlfriend got me addicted to Vampire Diaries.

Yeah, I started watching it from the start, liked it but it didnt become 1 of those shows I made sure I didnt miss. Started watching it again this year and not only do I think it has gotten better, but I make sure I watch before I delete off the DVR. Definitely one of those shows that doesnt get the credit/publicity it deserves.Id do Martha Plimpton, and Shannon Woodward
TobiasFunke
Footballguy
Well, Shannon Woodward ... come on. She kills me. She falls right into that Alison Brie/Mila Kunis adorable petite brunette category that I always seem to go for.Martha Plimpton throws me though. I can never quite settle on my opinion. Don't get me wrong, I'd do her in a heartbeat were I single, but I was a whore. I can't decide if she's "hot," i.e. could she ever play a role that was supposed to have sex appeal. I think probably not, but she seems to have an incredible body.Anyway, I'm trying to get the word out on this show now. I'm only halfway through the first season and I'm already enjoying it a lot, glad to hear you think it's only gotten better

The Bicycle Thief expires November 1. If you haven't seen it now's a good chance. It's simple and profound, and well deserving of it's classic status.

I don't see much difference between any of the 4 seasons. What you see is what you get. It's a soap opera type show where they like to stretch the bounds of realism. It's a fun but sorta goofy ride.Loved seasons 1 and 2 and then lost interest during season 3 with the whole baby kidnapping thing. Does the show pick up steam again at some point?

Its my guilty pleasure. TBS (or TNT?) is playing re-runs of it in the mornings, and between that and websites (i think its watchsupernaturalonline.com) I've actually seen almost every episode nowJust announced "Multi-Year Output Deal With Netflix for CW Network Programming."

I love these shows. Great time wasters between changing subjects of study or when I've got half an hour and too much boredom + I'm tired but not sleepy. I wish they would put Auction Hunters on there too.

I don't know who recommended it first, its been mentioned a lot, but Sherlock is outstanding. And this is coming from someone who has only read a few of the original stories. Season 2 looks like it will be awesome, each of the 3 stories they're basing the episodes on seem to be considered some of Doyle's finest work.

This is a good list but I would try to watch "Let the Right One In" which is the original version of "Let me In"...I tired to watch the latter last night and it wasn't as good IMO as the original. Not bad although already knowing the story might have had something to do with it. Both are well worth watching.
I'll add House on Hunted Hill and Theatre of Blood both with Vincent Price, a bit campy but a good throwback.
Creepshow, Return of the Living Dead, The Evil Dead-Sam Raimi, Thirst-foreign,

The House of the Devil for those that have not seen it yet. Nice tribute to 70s and 80s horror films. It takes place in like 1980-1982, somewhere in there just like "Let Me In" does as well. They do this so you don't have easy outs like cell phones and internet communications. Adds to the suspense.

I've seen both. I feel the original Swedish version, Let the Right One In, is far superior. The recent American version is essentially a shot-for-shot remake with minor twists. Let Me In isn't bad but it didn't measure up for me.

Glad you liked. I'm trying to spread the word. This show deserves more love.

I probably won't bother then. I've seen the original. It doesn't sound like there is a compelling reason to spend any of my limited movie-watching time on the remake.

I'm really digging Intelligence
Smartly plotted and smoothly acted, this cops-and-criminals drama is set in Vancouver, where Mary Spalding (Klea Scott) is the regional director of the government's Organized Crime Unit, and cocky Jimmy Spalding (Ian Tracey) heads a successful pot-smuggling ring. When unforeseen events result in unexpected circumstances, the two supposed enemies become unlikely bedfellows to save their distinct but closely linked franchises.

Just a bit OT, anyone have recommendations for Concerts, Rockumentaries and the like. With the weather changing, I've moved most workouts indoors and have found that these help. Watched Kiss, Rock The Nation (DVD 1) while on the spin bike last night and will use DVD for another ride soon. I'm hoping Flight 666 with Iron Maiden makes its way to Watch Instantly!

I once did four movies-of-the-week back to back in Vancouver, same crew, same sets... the locations they were playing were Montana, Wyoming, North Carolina, and Baltimore.

Settled in last night for my first horror film of the season, or so I thought. I hadn't seen a trailer or read much, if anything about this film, except that it was Kevin Smith's attempt at horror. What I got was unexpected, and satisfying. What we have here is a rare attempt of a genre buster. Films like From Dusk Till Dawn and Devil's Rejects immediately come to mind. This film starts as a Hostel type horror film and turns into a botched ATF Waco-style raid. It is unpredictable and fun. It isn't overly gorey, but there are of course a couple of fairly extreme scenes. Michael Parks is awesome in it. Smith's direction has come a long ways since the static shots of Clerks. I know the people that have commented on it say it was hack stuff here too, but I have to disagree, easily the best directed film shot-wise Smith has done.
Ok, now the bad, the storyline is very choppy, and the ending is stupid, tacked on, and awful in just about every other way imaginable.
If you are a fan of film and horror I think there is enjoyment to be found here. If you are just a fan of one or the other you may be disappointed in a big way.
3.5/5

2011 Indian film Delhi Belly IMDB is pretty entertaining buddy comedy. You've seen the basic plot mechanics a hundred times--a bag gets switched putting the good guys on a collision course with a collection of bad guys--but the modern New Delhi setting and an appealing cast of characters set it apart.
Delhi Belly came out of the Bollywood system but it's mostly in English, doesn't run too long (103 min) and drops the F-bomb more freely than most Western comedies. There's music but it's integrated into the story well and never interrupts the flow. It was a big hit and very controversial when it was released in India. It also has a couple of the more inspired poop gags I've seen in a while, so it's not some highbrow foreign film.

Fubar 2: Balls to the Wall. A low budget, mockumentary style Canadian drunken misfits epic. They're like Bob and Doug McKenzie on crack. I haven't sen Fubar 1, but it apparently achieved cult classic status in Canada. Dumb, stupid and moronic with about 250 F-Bombs. I randomly came across it on cable and I laughed my ### off at how utterly pathetic these guys are plus the accent added extra laughs. I have no idea if it's even exaggerated at all. I've downloaded part 1, but I don't think that you need to see it first.
