Man Up with Simon Pegg and Lake Bell on Netflix IE already? Got good reviews and was only released mid-April in cinemas.

No, don't think that's the same film that's up on netflix IE. Just some crappy looking film with the same name.

^ When it first appeared the other day they put the wrong description with it, the new one, then they took it back down and it reappeared with the proper description.

Watched that its very good, couldn't believe I had never heard about that story before or that it wasn't taught in Irish history in school either, its an important story to know about.

Left wing history tends to get written out of Irish history tbh. Very good film.

Rolling Thunder and Blow Out are on Brazil/Mexico Netflix (Thunder is on Irish one). Two good action thriller type films from th 70s/80s. Thunder is a revenge film with William Devane as a Charles Bronson type before Death Wish. John Travolta in Blow Out is a film sound engineer who stumbles upon a murder, very 70s paranoid, conspiracy type of thing.

Would also recommend Premium Rush on Canada with Joseph Gordon Levitt as a bike messenger in New York tasked with transporting a pacakge that corrupt copy Michael Shannon is hell bent on stealing.

The Dropis also a good small crime drama with Tom Hardy as a quiet but tough bar tender in New York navigating local crime baddies who use his bar to launder money.

Watched this last night.

Em..it's meant to be rubbish right? That's what it's going for I presume? Some sort of B-movie homage to awfulness?

It wasn't meant to be taken seriously if that's what you mean, thought it was really enjoyable myself. Anyone who enjoyed it should check out You're Next by the same director also on Irish Netflix.

I just noticed Life After Beth and the Jimi Hendrix biopic All Is By My Side are on the Irish Netflix now.

Great doc on netflix usa called "An Honest Liar" about a magician who spends his career showing up charlatans and frauds using their skills to trick people but at the core of his personal life is a huge lie too. Really enjoyed

I watched this but I didn't like that they don't show how all the tricks were done. Seems to go against the whole point.

Im thinking of getting netflix but can i just ask what would be the most up to date movies on it , does it have all the latest releases or are the most recent films 2 or 3yrs old

I got through about 10 episodes. I can see what people mean by saying that it's a slow burner as it takes a few episodes to get a sense for what it's about. I didn't find it particularly gripping but a bit different. My interest has waned though.

I've watched the first five episodes of Sense8 with growing disappointment. What a vacuous load of nonesense. The premise is the plot, the characters are empty and unlikeable and there is absolutely no progression. It's like a poor man's version of heroes - and even that was piss poor!

i would share the same sympathies although not as harsh. i kind of had to force myself to watch it. its not like true detective of BCS wherein i was itching to watch the next epsiode

Netflix is pretty sh!tty for movies, unless you go for regular 'vacations'. I honestly only use it for the shows since it's easy to keep track of what you're watching and some of the originals are well worth the €2/week

Didn't think I'd ever enjoy a documentary on skateboarding...but all that mayham is really really good

I think Nightcrawler and Whiplash are the most recent films on Netflix. Sometimes other Netflix regions will have a film that's only just been released in the cinema here eg. A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night was on the USA Netflix region before it was out in the cinema here. Guardians of the Galaxy is available in Netherlands and Belgium NETFLIX , I guess that would be the most well known recent blockbuster on there.

I find Netflix really good for movies, if it's only blockbusters you're after though then not so much. Irish catalogue is as good as any these days though region hopping is still a must for more variety.

Is it worth it to, say, pay for both a US and IE Netflix account?

You only pay for one account if you visit any country that Netflix is available in that account will work there with that countries Netflix Library.

No benefit doing that.

Netflix uses software to read where you are logged in from based on IP address.

If you access Netflix in Ireland you get Ireland Netflix. If you access it in the US you get US Netflix. Only difference in setting up a US account from Ireland is it could possibly be a few cents cheaper or dearer.

Many people use third party services to change regions, something Netflix and the distributors they licence content from are very aware of however, Netflix have done little to nothing to curb it.

Ageyev

You can use these sites to see what is available elsewhere should you happen to visit those countries

Colombian remake of Breaking Bad 'Metástasis' is on USA Netflix with English subtitles. It is almost a shot for shot remake with a few minor substitutions.

It's not particularly good but is an interesting curio if you're a big BB fan.

Best tv series I've ever seen. The Wire runs it close, took me a few episodes to get my head around the accents in that. But was instantly hooked on BB from the opening scene in episode 1. You've got one hell of a ride to watch.

There are some slow burning parts in a couple of the seasons, mostly the earlier seasons, but pay attention throughout and make sure to finish it all, it really is one of the top 3 best shows of all time!

Is it not the other way around. BB is a remake of the Colombian one?

Ageyev

Nope, Metástasis came after Breaking Bad. The title credits Vince Gilligan with creating it. It was shot in a short period of time and I think aired over a period of a few months. 5series condensed down

Oh really? I thought I had read BB was a remake, bad info, I guess. So used to it being the other way around these days I just believed it

I saw that as a kid and I'm convinced it used to be called Drive Me Crazy, recognised the cover art on Netflix the last day. Might give it a look for nostalgia's sake one of the nights.
