Netflix "Watch Instantly" - Page 461 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

Netflix recommend "Boss" and I searched this thread to see if it had been reviewed and it was mentioned briefly. I feel like it deserves another mention.

Its similar to House of Cards but a little faster paced and sexier. I ended up watching 9 hour long episodes the first night.

Love me some Van Damme. Kickboxer is another good one - his brother that was paralyzed by Tong Po was played by Dennis Alexio who was actually once a world champion kickboxer til he lost to Don the Dragon Wilson. I watched Lionheart the other night for the 735,000 time.

One of my favorites is JCVD....its a semi-serious comedy where Van Damme plays himself as a down and out actor during a robbery and helps the hostages by talking to the robbers about himself and describes who he actually is. It's pretty funny. Not bad at all and he wasn't flexing or doing a split every 7 seconds so I found that refreshing. Definitely recommend if you can find it.

JCVD:

Halfway through The Blacklist, one of the better shows I have watched in awhile. Really glad that Netflix got the rights or bought this up after season 1.

Spoiler:

I thought the show Rectify was also very good. Was recommended on here, and I loved it. I have never seen such character depth in any show. It is very slow, and more of a character-study, but if that's your thing, this is a homerun. May not have the chemistry between characters that The Killing did, but the characters are much more developed.

I really thought they did a lot in the first two seasons to develop the depth of the relationship between the two main characters in the killing. Great character development is always a plus for me. Will definitely start Rectify. Thanks for the recommendation.

Yah i was super surprised, because i never really ever heard of it, but trust me, it just gets better and better. The first two season are the nuts.

Basically 20 years ago I was at a summer 'camp' where me and my few friends were the oldest allowed. One of the counselors made a bracket and forced Alicia Silverstone to win the hottest girl/woman alive. That was right before her Batman movie appearance.

Clueless was somewhat highly regarded at the time, for a teen movie anyway.

Not to mention the whole anti-vaccer angle.

Alicia/Liv were the first lesbian fantasy I can remember. Both were insanely hot in Crazy.

I'm a bit more than half-way through the first episode of The Blacklist and don't think I can go on. Spader is cool and all but every single thing about this show is derivative as ****. Feels really old hat to me.
