The Office

This series has been one of my favorites for a while now.  I have watched almost every episode, thanks to the advent of Netflix.  I enjoy watching Jim mess with Dwight, and Dwight's response to other people.  "Bears, Beats, and Battlestar Galactica".  If you get a chance  look up on youtube the compilation of the top pranks played on Dwight, or Dwights top ten scenes on the office.

Numbers

  This is a television show where an FBI agent and his brother, who is a mathematician, who work together to solve crimes.  The math loving brothers uses patterns in each crime, and applies it to complex math in order to provide more cluse to solve a mystery.  I think that some of the episodes are interesting, but it gets old after several episodes, hearing the analogies that the mathematician uses to explain complex math models to the other FBI agents who don't understand complex math.  It isn't one of the best TV episodes on Netflix, but I would recomend that you watch a few episodes to see if it is your cup of tea.

Super Troopers

  Super troopes is a movie so dumb that it is funny!!!!!!!   I can't stop laughing throughout the show.  I know that this movie is old, and has been on Netflix for awhile, but worth the watch.

Flash Forward

    Flash Forward is a TV series based on a global black out.  The first epsisode jumps right into the plot.  The whole world has blacked out, and each person has a premonition about their future.  The awesome part is that some of the premonitions are starting to come to reality.  The even better part of the show is following a team of FBI agents who are investigating the reason behind the blackouts.  I think this is one of the best series I have watched.  Definitely worth the time to watch.  Very interesting.

Burn Notice

 This is definitely a great series.  I have spent several months searching the netflix catalog to only find that it was only recently added.  Don't know  why it took so long, but it is finally here.  This show might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I like it.

Hot Tub Time Machine

  This movie has a hard to follow plot, and cheesy at times.  But, has some funny moments.  They do travel through time, and have a lot of fun in a hot tub, but that is about it.  I would watch if only if I have nothing else better to watch.  Almost a waste of time.

ScarFace

  I have always loved this movie, but I always wondered when it would make it to Netflix.  If you haven't watched it lately, treat yourself.

Persons Unknown TV Series

This is definitley a good show to watch.  It starts off with a group of different people who have awakened in a home, unsure of how they got there.  They back track how they got there, and why they were taken there.  It almost seems like a "Saw" setup. As the series unfolds, they are actually in a small town in the middle of nowhere, with an invisible fence around the perimeter.  They have several unsuccessful attempts at escape.   The show is definitely intriguing, and keep you watching.  In true Netflix spirit, you can watch at your own leisure.

Iron Man 2 Review



It caught me by surprise when I learned that Iron Man 2 was coming to Netflix.  This is definitely worth the watch if you are into comic character movies, and if you liked the first Iron Man Movie.  There are several funny parts throughout the movie.  But the true essence is the movie is seen in the action seens.  If you have surround sound, get some popcorn and turn up the volume.

Kick Ass Movie Review

This movie starts out hilarious, and gets more serious and deeper into the plot towards the end.  This is a "average guy turn super hero" movie.  It reminds me of the Movie Defendor, where the nerdy superhero gets treated like a punching bag, loses almost all of his fights, but somehow gets seen as a "hero" by the rest of society.  The interesting part about the movie is that the main character switches from a nerdy teenage boy, to a young girl who has been trained by her ex-cop father.  Definitely worth the watch, and I rate it as 9.0 out of 10.0.  The only thing I regret about this movie is not watching it when it was in theaters.

Mutants Netflix Movie Review


Just looking at the movie art, and the description on Netflix, it might seem crappy at first glance.  The movie starts off fast wiht a cop in an ambulance whod stops the ambulance and shoots a morphing zombie.  The cop and two paramedics escape to a large hospital in the mountains.  I wont ruin the rest, but it is a must see.

The good points fo the movie are that it is gory and bloody.  Other high points include real effects and cool setting.  The only bad point of the movie is it is in French with english subtitle, but well worth all of the reading.
I give the move an 8 overall because there are better zombie flicks out there (ones without subtitles).

The Other Guys

   The Other Guys is an absolutely hilarious movie.  I would definitely rate this as one of my favorite comedy movies, probably because I am a big fan of Will Ferrell.  The even better part is that I got a chance in thtis flick to see the sarcastic side of Mark Wahlberg.  I definitely recommend this movie, and it is one of the movies that makes netflix well worth the money.
