Netflix is the way of the future. Their approach to making original content and profiting seems to be working while the big studios are failing miserably.

Are they? If they are, can't be too bad. Think about it, they have like 10,000,000 subscriptions easily world wide at something like $10 a month per subscription. In one month they make money in the Dr Evil digits.

I hate how Netflix movies feel...Netflixy. I think a lot of people subscribe to it because they’re lazy, and it’s easy to find a bunch of content in one place. And it doesn’t help that the selection in Canada is shit compared to the US.

Good, screw the theater's and their 30$ popcorn. Ya know you can buy your own popcorn for $2 and take it into the cinema? It's annoying when new films go straight to Netflix. I would have loved to have seen The Irishman and Annihilation in the cinema. Annihilation went straight to Netflix here.

Klaus - on Netflix
10/10
Fantastic Christmas movie for young and old. This one nailed it as far as Christmas movies go. Definitely re-watchable for years to come. Great voice cast, lots of hilarity, moments that will pull at your heart strings, and just a great and interesting/fresh story.

There was a review somewhere saying it's a very good movie that could have been even better if there was more depth to the characters. In theory that's always a fair point, but in this movie I didn't feel it hurt in the slightest. Yeah we don't go over Shelby's life but Matt Damon still turns in a very good performance and Christian Bale was just an absolute joy to watch. Maybe as a racing fan I'm just predisposed to immediately jump into the movie instead of scrutinising the finer points like a critic should do. :P Plus, it's always nice when Ferrari suffers.

The Irishman
I watched the first half last night. It's alright so far, nothing too great, over hyped IMO. Robert DeNiro is pretty painful to watch, I can't stand him these days. Joe P. is where it's at so far, and Al Pacino is good. All the supporting cast is great. The CGI on their faces and stuff is pretty impressive, mostly why I was interested in watching.
So far, so good.

Touching the Void - An amazing documentary about mountain climbing and survival. I'd seen it before, but watched it again with a bunch of family and it always just has everyone holding their breath. Brings up great questions about loyalty and shows the strength humans will muster to survive. If you havent seen it, do yourself a favor and go watch it (it's on YouTube in its entirety).

The Irishman
Pretty boring. I imagine it would be more interesting if you had an interest in Jimmy Hoffa to begin with.

Gonna watch it here in a minute (The Irishman). Everyone seems a little let down by it, so I'm going into it with realistic expectations.

It felt like watching a Motley Crue reunion album if that makes sense. Got the old gang back together, some familiar songs/camera shots, lyrics/lines but in the end, you can't recapture that magic, everyone is just fat and old, trying to reclaim the unattainable.
I hate DeNiro so much. That fake, pouty face... Merrrrr.

Joe Pesci was good as a more measured character, but other than that I agree with Smithers. It has to be the movie providing the major character of Hoffa with any sense of weight, not the actor doing it all by force of charisma or us walking into it with preconceived info. Otherwise it's as "shallow" as the Mel Gibson's torture porn flick, oh hey here's some guy getting crucified and beaten senseless.

I hate DeNiro so much. That fake, pouty face... Merrrrr. Watched it, and I basically agree. DeNiro was DeNiro, as he always is and always will be in any role he plays. Pesci was good, but he didn't have a whole ton to work with. Pacino as Hoffa was probably the best of all of them, he didn't phone it in, actually seemed to give it his best, but again, the script was slow at best and downright boring at worst. It ain't Casino or Goodfellas, that's for sure.

Mesrine Part 1 I recently watched both movies though here in Australia it's known as 'Public Enemy #1' part 1 & part 2. Vincent Cassel is great to watch.
