I took a long enough break from the forum that I stopped remembering to read back across my posts to make sure the content doesn't make me look retarded/illiterate/homosexual.
GOOD on Netflix STREAMING?

Talking about finding actors you know in surprising places...

Was surprised when I went back and watched this one after 25 years.

I loved Remo Williams. I am still waiting for the sequel promised in the credits.
In fact, at some point a year or two ago, I finally spent some time digging up the book series (The Destroyer) that the film is based on. They are truly pulp fiction...and there's a HUGE number of them. Warren Murphy (the creator/author) has been extremely prolific over the years to the tune of something like 150 books in the series. I think I've probably read 10 or so...it's hard to continue reading what is essentially the same story over and over.

However, I am curious as to which actor you are referring in this case. Do you mean Kate Mulgrew, who then went on to do Star Trek?

Presumably you've seen Firefly. Or are you the guy that hates Joss Whedon?
Anyway, I liked Continuum enough (they have season 1 on Netflix) that I set my DVR to record the new shows as they have been airing on TV. It certainly starts off pretty strongly IMO, although story has sort of gotten a bit bogged down as things continue.
Also, agreed with cheezy that if you haven't seen the 2005-era Dr. Who series, you should probably start watching that.
Walking Dead, despite being a massive hit with really good Nielsen ratings and whatnot, has been hit-or-miss in my opinion. I am beginning to think that this series might benefit from re-watching on Netflix, where you can watch many episodes back-to-back (or thereabouts) and thus get more continuity, as well as being able to skip over some of the parts that drag on a bit.
If you are willing to watch Hulu, as well as put up with subtitles, I recommend the anime series Death Note. I am actually re-watching that series recently after first seeing it several years ago at my wife's insistence (who read the manga, I think), and it's still a pretty good story. Unfortunately, it's not on Netflix or Amazon Prime, although it is free to stream on Hulu, with the caveat that Hulu is set up such that you can watch all kinds of stuff on your PC for free, but any app on a game console, cell phone, tablet, etc. requires a Hulu plus subscription. However, there are options like Plex & Chomecast which will let you stream from the PC to another device if you're willing to go that route.

How can you not like a movie that has Wilford Brimley as part of an organization of assassins?
Yup.
Chromecast only allows you to use Netflix and YouTube videos. The picture however is pretty damn good since it cast through a hdmi port! Last weekend watched a lot of HD music videos on YouTube and had a pretty good time! Now need to find something I haven't seen yet on Netflix!

I know what im watching tnite!!
I own a chromecast and have been able to watch Hulu and Amazon by just casting the browser tab. Amazon was a bit tricky because they use silverlight by default. If you disable the silverlight plugin, however, it will fall back on flash which works fine with chromecasat.

Don't Be Afraid of the Dark is AWESOME.
Such a unique and well done horror movie! Not an "over the top" monster, but
****SPOILER*****
A bunch of little ones that use not only claws and physical threat, but a more subtle (but no less effective) scare that incorporates preying on a child with twisted child psychology, and hiding in the shadows and whispering....SCARY AS ANYTHING.

State of emergency impressed me with the lack of special effects, and the well placed, but extremely minimal violence for a zombie flick.
Dredd was non stop violence and effects, lol. Opposite but also pretty awesome. *SPOILER* I thought Ma Ma had such potential! I loved how she had the james bond-like evil genius escape plan, so Dredd just tossed her through the window! Perfect ending to that movie!
I do have to say that the SLO MO drug scenes looked cool, but........if real life is moving that slow, it is only because your perceptions are sped up. Someone in that state could put 4 bullets into you before you picked your first target. Meh, I overthink movies!
^^Could not stop thinking this exact thing. SWMBO asked why I liked State of Emergency so much. I replied its original, in its on way. She replies" It's a ZOMBIE movie? really."
Being in that state mentally (or perceptually) will not necessarily make you move that much faster. It would be more akin to the 'bullet time' in the Max Payne game where time is slowed so you can see and think more. If you actually moved that fast the gun would probably jam and you would probably tear your muscles and ligaments.
Now who overthinks movies?

He said Perception not speed as in you could see more coming, now you are over thinking posts

I watched The African Queen the other night.. Good movie, and made me reflect on how better, more nuanced acting and subtle plot lines made simple stories quite enjoyable. I think I may be getting into an old movie kick.

Your body would move at the same speed, but your reactions would be split second.
My assumption that you could fire 4 bullets might have been off, but you would see the enemy entering the room and have time to think through 3-4 options while you draw your weapon, before his eyes have even focused on you. You would have forever to line up a perfect shot in the time it takes him to raise his weapon.
At the very least you have the drop on him.
In the movie 2 judges got the drop on 10 or so people SLO MO'ing.
You got a point there.
