GreekChat.com "Netflix" Movie Reviews
 

Same rules as "GreekChat.com current movie reviews" thread, just with Netflix movies only.

I just recently watched 100 feet, and it was really good. I enjoyed it, so I gave it 3 stars out of 5. Some things were kind of cheesy, but other than those things, I liked it.:)

Love our Netflix membership!

I'm kind of upset that Netflix no longer has a contract with Starz. I love watching the movies in "Starz Play." But, netflix is still cheaper than cable, so I'll keep my membership.

Just finished the movie Buried. Pretty intense. I'm not used to seeing Ryan Reynolds in non-comedic roles.

^^^lol
I knew you'd stop by for a visit to this thread.:p

For anyone that's an Idris Elba fan, The second season of Luther just went up recently.

Of course :)

That's in my queue, but haven't watched yet. I'll check it out.

I watched The Nines on Sunday (mostly because of Octavia Spencer and Melissa McCarthy). It wasn't AWFUL, but I think it was trying to be smarter than it really was. Very random storyline.

I checked out Obsessed last night. It was alright, but how many of these movies have been done before? Netflix was lame as hell when I was getting them in the mail. The streaming is 100 times better and more convenient.

Except that the movies we want to see are almost never available for streaming.

I think we may cancel and stream through Amazon.

I am OBSESSED with Netflix. I use it to watch a lot of TV shows more than anything else. I recently watched Morning Glory with Rachael McAdams. I thought it was really good. It had a chick flick vibe without so much of the romance and wasn't totally vapid. Good story, solid cast. I give it 4 out of 5. I would say watch it if you're in the mood for something not too deep, but still entertaining.

As soon as I get home from work, I'm going to finish watching "Nature's Deadliest". It's a really good documentary about deadly animals, insects, and arachnids.:) I do like that Netflix has quite a few documentaries.

That's one of my "work" films (I typically watch TV shows and documentaries when I'm at the office). I liked it.

You would probably like Deadly Dozen. It talks about "the top deadly animals" in specific countries. I enjoyed it.

lol
Hilarious! @ what's in bold.

I'll have to watch the other one, too, when I get home. I love documentaries about animals. I'll bet you see some really weird/cool bugs living in Texas.:)

Not particularly, but I live in the city. I'm sure that it'd be different if I was in the country/near one of the lakes.

The "worst" I've seen were snakes and scorpions, but after living here for a decade, I don't think they're particularly weird ;)

When I lived in Minnesota, there, it's your typical every day bug. When I moved here, people were looking at me like I was strange, because I had never seen a "lightning bug" in real life. The first time I saw a Praying Mantis was when I moved here, too. I love scorpions. My scorpion is boring to watch. It's just that he just sits there, without much activity, so I don't get a lot of entertainment looking at him.

I feel you. The selection isn't really a large one, but when I was getting the movies through the mail, the selection was bigger, but still not as big as I thought is was going to be. I didn't know you can stream through Amazon. How would I hook that up to my tv, though?

Best guess is that if you have a video card with an hdmi out or any kind of a dvi out port you can hook up your pc to hour television and it would then act as a monitor. I have one of my desktops acting in that capacity now.

Yep. Ditto. At first (when I first joined), I loved Netflix, but I eventually ran out of things to watch. I dunno, it just seemed like I watched most if not all of my interests, and then the choices really got slim. I still like Netflix, because of the convenience, it's just that I wish they had a much bigger selection.

We watched Letters to Zachary last night. Talk about intense. Darn you, Canada, and your lame extradition laws.

We do it same way as with Netflix -- wifi through the BluRay player.

What's nice about this thread vs. GreekChat.com "current" movie reviews, is we can see posts about movies on here that might interest us, and then go directly online to watch it.:)

I'm getting ready to watch a movie called "Seven Days to Live". I hope it's good.:)

Hey MC, what brand blu ray player do you have? Does it come with built in wifi?

Sucked. It was another one of those foreign movies. I hate foreign movies.:mad:

"The Phantom of the Opera at the Royal Albert Hall" (2011)
- We loved it, but then we have every version we have ever seen. Lots of HD/DVD extras.

at a RedBox kiosk near you.

Sony. And yes.

Hmmm...I didn't know Sony had an Amazon app, probably because we tend to go straight to Netflix and Crackle when we use it. I will have to check mine when I get home.

It may vary by model, but ours will stream Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, YouTube . . . .

I'm almost regretting asking for a Roku player because I almost never use it. The Netflix pickin's are slim as far as choices I like on instant stream. But I've been getting into some TV series (Luther is up next) and I found some gospel plays I'd like to see. I think I'll keep it after all but I'm decreasing my plan--I don't use it enough to warrant 2 CDs at a time.

We love out Sony Blu Ray Player and all the things it can do, even the ones it can do for free like YouTube. Set up a you tube account, create play lists, and then pick from your play list using the remote. The search function using the remote is difficult at best though. If you have to search or want to stream from a web site, best to have a computer connected to your amplifier and route it to your HDTV that way.

OMG I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this! I watched it 5 times (so lame I know) before returning it to Blockbuster. So need to buy it.

Mini-Hijack: DaemonSeid, I LOVE your signature!!!!!!!!!!!!

Back to the schedule thread:

I love my netflix, I just wish more of the movies I want to watch were available via streaming. The problem I have right now is that my Roku and wireless router have "issues" with streaming at a quick pace. Obviously much faster via my laptop.

I watched Skyline recently. So LAME! I kept hoping it would get better, so I kept watching and instead I was like "really". It was so dumb. 2 hours of my life that I will never get back.

Just watched The Lincoln Lawyer. I thought it was great.

I usually think of Matthew McConaughey as the shirtless, romantic comedy guy, but he did a great job in this film.

We loved it too!

Deep In The Valley

This movie was so off the wall that it was enjoyable. Basic premise: A porn machine malfunctions and sends 2 friends to the "cities" where the porns take place.

Can't make this shit up.

Something Borrowed was something awful. I turned it off after about 10 minutes. If it wasn't for Jim from the Office and the hot fiance it would have been 5 minutes.

Had you read the book?

I wrote this years ago and FINALLY got around to watching the movie, titled Brotherhood.

I wasn't expecting much from it, but I really enjoyed it. I noticed a few things that were specific to my alma mater's city, and the story and acting were good enough to keep me entertained.

"Quarantine 2: Terminal". Just finished watching it. I guess it never made it to the big screen. Funny how the first one did, because it wasn't as good as the second. A must see for those who like creepy movies about the spread of disease.

I watched a bunch of movies this weekend. I finally watched The King's Speech. I had no idea what it was actually about, only that it had won a bunch of awards. Wow! I loved it! I also watched Something Borrowed, which was cute and, I think, pretty close to the book (although I read the book a lonnnnnnnnnnnnng time ago and don't remember details). Then I watched another movie but I don't remember the name.Going the Distance with Drew Barrymore and that guy.. and they meet in NYC but she has to go back to California so they have a long distance relationship. The last two were both cute and entertaining but nothing spectacularly unique or anything.
