Sherlock. The modern one with Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch. Brilliant. I love how each episode is a movie. Two seasons, six episodes, as they run 1.5 hrs each episode. Also still constantly watch 'Spaced' and 'Hyperdrive'. Hyperdrive stars Nick Frost, and is a send-up of Star Trek/ every science fiction show ever....silly fun. Yes, I like British TV I've also been watching the Mystery Science Theater 3000 stuff available
No dice on Hedorah but that site looks pretty good, so thanks for letting me know about it! There are a bunch of godzilla movies there!
I originally got Godzilla vs the smog monster on disc from Netflix. Stupid question but are you looking as smog monster and not hedorah? Considering how they ditch streaming titles constantly it doesn't surprise me they drop discs titles a lot too.
Yeah, I've tried both vs Hedorah and vs the Smog Monster, neither streaming and both unavailable on disc, just have the save option.
Someone feel free to correct me, but I just happened to notice that Netflix has added a whole whack of genre and cult films to their repertoire. This is the first time I am actually happy about stuff I see new on there. In addition to some classic Godzilla and other Toho films (fair warning, I have not checked any of them out yet, so I can't say what versions and/or dubbing they might be), some ones of note include: The Angry Red Planet ___Y E S ! C.H.U.D. Black Sabbath___classic Bava Class of Nuke'Em High Troll II ___(don't worry, it is not a sequel) Lair of the White Worm ___ Attack of the Crab Monsters - and a whole bunch of Sword & Sorcery and 'Hercules'-themed flics And many others besides. Check out the new library if you have the chance, and are as tired of the modern drivel as much as I. Plenty of B-movie fun to fill you for the holiday season.
Lair of the White Worm! I love that move so much, not least of which because it introduced me to Peter Capalidi... ...and Amanda Donohoe. Ken Russel is dead, long live Ken Russell!
Hmm, well I guess you should have come to the Fantasia screening of The Devils then. A rare showing of an original 35mm copy, plus the man himself to accept a liftetime achievement award. Click through to see festival video
I've never seen The Devils on a big screen and it would have been fantastic to hear the man himself speak - that's great, thanks for sharing! Were you in attendance?
I was indeed. It is sure something special to be able to experience these 'cult' and such movies on the big screen, the way they were really meant to be seen. Not only are we losing that in the digital age, but even before, so many of us would only ever have had the option of seeing great early films on shoddy home video copies. And, while very enjoyable, and I am as enthusiastic about them, I concede that nothing will ever replace the thrill of seeing and hearing a great movie in a proper theatre. There are so many others I would give a lot to be able to experience in a similar fashion. Sigh, nostalgia......
That bio on Death was awesome. I've also been watching some Louis CK, and MST3K, as I need some laughter in my life. More like torturing my girls with MST3K.
AMAZING story- everybody who lives in this town and goes to shows/plays in bands has known the Hackneys for years, and so when this all came to light, it seemed so surreal. Myself, as a huge Bad Brains fan and having always considered them the seminal black punk band, I was blown out of the water... and that it was these longtime local-music-fixture guys... totally unexpected. I interviewed Bobby, Urian and Jules and the rest of Rough Francis on the radio in 2010, when all of this was still gaining momentum and the doc was still filming. I was so genuinely moved by hearing them talk about the discovery of the tapes, and what a testament this late discovery has been to their uncle David's incredible vision. They're all great people and well-deserving of this long-overdue spotlight.
Do we have a thread for just recommending movies? I didnt want to create one if there is already one present. anyways I sat back last night and watched: "The Wolf of Wall Street" I personally liked the film very much, make sure not to watch with children around, heavy drug use, sex and language. It's a 3 hour film, I didn't know if I'd be able to watch it all the way through in one night with it being that long. I liked it so much I made sure to watch it through though. I'd say a 8/10 I laughed quite a bit in it... the popeye scene had me really going.
Yes! also loving this series. Very different from anything else hes done but also has the same kind of vibe as the original "Office" Season 2 will be on Netflix at the end of May. All seasons of "An Idiot Abroad" are also on Netflix, My fav Brit comedy team since Monty Python.
After a couple of years away from all things Netflix; I finally signed up for their steaming service... Not a bad little system they've got going, huh? I haven't had a look yet, but I was completely delighted to see that is among their selections. Everybody hip to instantwatcher? Invaluable!
Awhile back I asked if anyone knew where I could stream Godzilla vs. Hedorah, and I'd been looking for awhile but now it's popped up on hulu! Here's the link for anyone else who's been looking! http://www.hulu.com/watch/624047
i'm super late to the party but has anyone checked out Attack on Titan Season 1 on Netflix? Really enjoying this anime. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGRm4IzK1SQ&feature=youtu.be
I think I just watched one of the most bizarre movies ever on Netflix. Kim just randomly selected "Escape From Tomorrow" and we both were mesmerized by it. A middle aged Dad losing his mind in Disneyland.....it's quite a trip (figuratively and literally).
^^ i remember reading about that. Something like they filmed it without disney knowing..? Like they bought passes each day and posed as park visitors.. Dunno if thats true or not. Ill have to watch it though.
Agreed! I had this sitting in my queue for way too long, finally watched it about a month ago. Such a great South Korean revenge film!
