Recent Netflix finds

uenjoymyself

Surrender to the flow
Someone had mentioned Narcos in another thread. I found it entertaining but it helps if you speak Spanish as MOST of the dialogue is captioned.

Two other recent Netflix finds: (Full length movies)

Horns, I was pleasantly surprised by this one! Much better than its description. More comedy than dark, well a little dark and Juno Temple is memorizing.

Horns is a 2014 American dark fantasy horror-comedy film directed by Alexandre Aja, loosely based on Joe Hill's novel of the same name. Daniel Radcliffe stars as a man who is accused of raping and murdering his girlfriend (Juno Temple) and uses his newly discovered paranormal abilities to uncover the real killer.

And

Moonrise Kingdom, IMO it is a must see for anyone who has ever been young, in love, or both at the same time. Great cast, well acted, beautiful screenplay and cinematography. A lighthearted, quirky romance/comedy. Instant classic

Set on an island off the coast of New England in the summer of 1965, Moonrise Kingdom tells the story of two twelve-year-olds who fall in love, make a secret pact, and run away together into the wilderness. As various authorities try to hunt them down, a violent storm is brewing off-shore -- and the peaceful island community is turned upside down in more ways than anyone can handle. Bruce Willis plays the local sheriff. Edward Norton is a Khaki Scout troop leader. Bill Murray and Frances McDormand portray the young girl's parents. The cast also includes Tilda Swinton, Jason Schwartzman, and Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward as the boy and girl.

If you think you've seen all the good movies on Netflix check these out.
I loved em!

Cheers

I've been watching and enjoying Longmire, about a small town Sheriff in Wyoming. Very well done.
 
"Some Came Running" just showed up. IMO Frank Sinatra's best picture. Directed by Vincente Minelli and adapted from the book by James Jones. Excellent score by Elmer Bernstein, the title is music kind'a Power Jazz by a full orchestra. Cast includes Shirley MacClaine, Dean Martin and Arthur Kennedy. CinemaScope.

Excellent movie, first class in every way.
 
I just finished a couple of funny TV shows:

"The League" - Friends managing their fantasy football league... every episode was hilarious, and I don't follow football.
"Scrotal Recall" - British show, interesting premise, very funny.

Oh, yeah - "Mixology" was worth a look, too!

Based on this recommendation, me and the missus watched it last night. Exceptionally done (tho the ending was a bit over the top). Daniel Radcliffe tends to overact, but we were entertained by this interesting film. And yeah, Juno Temple is a goddess.
 
My wife & i just finished Dark Matter, it just popped up on Netflix. it is a SyFy space opera out of Canada. Great sets & CGI, acceptable acting, and a reasonable plot. It was just renewed for season 2 and I am glad as there is a lot more than can be done with it. The characters definitely improve as they go although some are good right away. Inevitable Firefly comparision, there most definitely is a Jayne and some other similarities but it is its own show.

James I'm glad you enjoyed Horns!
I too am enjoying Longmire. I'm about to end season two.

If you can possibly find the time I cannot recommend enough that you watch Moonrise Kingdom (with the Missus) if you are at all nostalgic. The set work, to begin with, is fantastic from the first seen to the last. The story is engaging and very well "orchestrated". You will understand more about that last statement once you begin the movie.

No, there are no monsters, explosions, murders, drugs or corruption.
I found it to be highly entertaining and visually pleasing.
It made me chuckle and left me with a great feeling!

Wonderful cast, quite entertaining, magical, feel good movie that was
quite enjoyable to watch!

Cheers!

Nostalgic?? Hell, I live with a permanent crick in my neck from peering over my shoulder at the past. I will definitely check out Moonrise Kingdom.
