So I watched Kill Point and I have to say what a crazy mix of really great moments with bad effects/edits, completely unbelievable shoot outs and poorly written emotional scenes.

Wahlberg's character only became more foolish, and Omar Little (the sniper) was over written with no real set-up. I found Kill Point trite and easy to predict in the end, certain elements hint to a darker more complex story that could have been if not for tv producers need for generalization.
The old man could have been much more interesting, but he really only got that one good line "(I'm paraphrasing) I came out in 1962, this is nothing."

If anyone here is only familiar with Jackie Chan from his post-Rush Hour movies, and you've always wondered what the big deal was about him, Netflix just answered your question.
This is one of Jackie Chan's best movies ever, and it also showcases his equally amazing Peking Opera School brothers Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao.
It's great all the way through, but if you can't watch the whole thing, just skip to the end and watch Jackie fight Benny "The Jet" Urquidez. If you only know that guy as the assassin from Grosse Pointe Blank, you're in for another jaw-dropping surprise.

'Super' starring Rainn Wilson and Ellen Page is not streaming, but I think its worth seeing. I have to note that there is a scene between Wilson and Page that is the fifth most disturbing scene of a sexual nature that I have ever seen, and three of the top four are violent rapes.
Its not a timid film, but I think that is the point in contrast to conventional action and hero movies.

Season one of Walking Dead is now streaming, with plenty of time to lament with all the other fans about how long it will be before season two starts airing on AMC.
All of The Wonder Years is also streaming now.

Luckily, before Starz leaves Netflix for good, they allowed the entire fourth season of Torchwood to be aired on Netflix. Only the first episode was available on Starz.com, and none of the episodes were available on Amazon.com, my preferred online source to pay for videos. I was willing to pay extra to see it, but now I don't have to.

The dad from Malcolm in the Middle is pretty amazing in Breaking Bad, which is also now streaming (maybe it's always been?). I've seen four episodes so far and they were all tense and compelling. Best show I've seen in a while. Love the Albuquerque setting.

If Smallville is included I might start cherry picking some of the later episodes, mainly ones with other heroes.

There's a new season of That Mitchell and Webb Look up now. A quite enjoyable, British sketch comedy show starring David Mitchell and Robert Webb.

I just heard an interview with Aaron Paul, who plays Jesse on Breaking Bad. He said that when he was younger he came very close to being cast as Reese on Malcolm in the Middle. One way or another, he was destined to hang out with Bryan Cranston.

Being Human, the "UK" version, aka the original is streaming. The opening narrative made me an honest fan and the actual meat of the show was simply icing on the cake.

I'm sure everyone knows that Netflix has all the Saturday Night Live archives. But that's a massive pile, and I just found something awesome buried in there. So if you have Netflix, click the following:
I know the early '80s SNL has a bad rep, but you've really got to see two things:
1. 10:00 in: If you're a fan of A Mighty Wind, this may surprise and delight you. 2. 17:20 in: If you watched Billy Crystal on the Oscars last year, and you're too young to understand why everyone used to love him so much, watch this sketch. It's just Billy and Martin Short, and it's one of the funniest sketches I can ever remember seeing on SNL.
The rest of the episode is pretty funny, too. All above the standards of the era. But those two sketches especially were so awesome I had to share.
