is it the same catalog for watching on tv for free as it is for online? can you add movies from browsing online to your tv queue?

I didn't know Starz had original programming, but I learned about the show from this article on the Onion AV Club site. So far it has been one of the better comedies I've seen recently.

just started watching it, think I'm through ep 7 (the Rick Fox one). Very funny show, love it so far.

Just watched Taking of Pelham 123. Typical crime thriller, so I enjoyed it a bit.

Was it the original? or that abortion of a remake that came out last year?

The original was made before I was born... so nope, wasn't that one.

i just watched that remake as well...Fine popcorn movie. TBH that's why I watched it. I was like "I want some popcorn....so I need to find a hilariously bad movie to watch while I eat it"

Pelham 123 was perfect.

Yup... not saying it was a great movie or anything, but it's an entertaining way to waste some time. Fiance was sick and I had a feeling she would like it, so I put it on. Nothing surprising or great, but it's not the pile of **** everyone makes it out to be.

I've been saying MOTHER ****ER all night. I should probably bump it up a star just for that.

I just noticed all seasons of Quantum Leap and Sliders are on there. Definitely worth a watch for time travel/other dimension sci-fi fans that haven't seen them. Quantum Leap was fairly good throughout the series, but Sliders went downhill fairly fast, although the later seasons are still fun to watch in a cheesy sci-fi way.

Season 2, not as much, and Season 3 watched the first 7 or 8 episodes and haven't got around to watching any more in two weeks.

I'm about halfway in to Season 4 right now. I watched Seasons 1 and 2 pretty quickly. I also lost interest about halfway into Season 3. I watched the first episode of the eclipse and took a hiatus for about 6 months. I then came back to it and am watching pretty regularly - an episode every other day or so. Looking back from where I am now, Season 1 seems like so long ago. None of the characters were developed at all. I don't think I could watch the first 10 episodes of the first season again if you paid me.

One is a teenage Honduran boy in the MS13 gang (notorious latin american gang) and the other a teenage Honduran girl.

If you've seen City of God and enjoyed it you'll like this flick as much if not more. It's in Spanish with subtitles but the dialogue isn't too heavy so it's not bothersome. If you watch it, please post your thoughts!

If you like stand up comedy, these are available for instant streaming as well:

Daniel Tosh - Completely Serious (think i've watched this 10 times and still can't stop laughing each time)
Zach Galifianakis: Live at the Purple Onion
saw this post and was a huge fan of sin nombe so decided to watch the Daniel Tosh stand up as I had never really used netflix instantly for their stand up options, found it very entertaining so looked up other ones

I just finished "Doug Stanhope: No refunds" and found it hilarious and recommend it to anyone looking for stand up....some might fight it offensive as hes pretty unrelentless and seems to be fully aware that hes a chain-smoking alcoholic but could care less at this point ha

With that, any stand up on instantly anyone here highly recommends? So far I have only watched the one i referenced above, "John Pinette: Im starvin'", and "Daniel Tosh: Completely Serious". Have on my queue to check out "Jeff Dunham: Spark of Insanity", "Joe Rogan: Live", and "Louis C.K.: Chewed Up....looking for any more

as for movies that are less known that I enjoyed or have on instantly to watch that i can recommend to others that are lesser known:

-exiled: foreign action movie, good for people that like complete action storylines as its more the unrealistic fight sequences but I found it entertaining, worth the watch, and it portrays a strong sense of loyalty

-sin nombre: highly recommend

-dont know if its been mentioned, prolly has: "king of kong: a fistful of quarters" - most entertaining and best documentary ive ever seen

some I havent watched yet but plan on doing, you can check out the plot synopsis and see if you're interested:
-the twilight samurai
-il divo
-primer
-11:14
-gomorrah
-audition
-following (Christopher Nolan's first full-length film he directed so i have big hopes for this one)

Well, I always thought his "hard war" campaign involved taking civilian lives. I'm not sure why I always thought that, but I was wrong. His "hard war" idea was limited to destroying property, taking supplies and decimating morale. He wasn't the monster that I always thought he was.
