I don't know how many movies they do have, but the ones I found on the site that I like:

"No Country for Old Men" and "Gone Baby Gone"

They don't have much of a list on their site, and it keeps wanting me to sign up for a free trial to see the rest.

Renassiance, the animated thriller with Daniel Craig voicing the main character.

mind-twist dramatic movie (UK, not hollywood): the swimming pool

i agree there isn't muchon there as of yet, but im hopeful that there will be more and more titles as time goes on.

Yeah, I've seen the Swimming Pool, but it's been a good while. If I remember correctly, it was pretty decent.

ugzkmk · 12-23-2008, 12:18 PM

welp im watching swimming pool now, so ill report back. any others?

ugzkmk · 01-04-2009, 12:35 PM

swimming pool was OK, i couldnt watch the craig daniel one, the drawing type was too much. however i did just watch Revolver buy Guy Ritchie and i was great. same type as Lock stock and Snatch.

Irish2685 · 01-04-2009, 03:09 PM

Snatch was an awesome movie.

just watched cleaner with samuel L J, decent movie. Matchstick Men, also pretty good.

i prefer the "professional, crime" genre.

I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of Cleaner. I didn't expect it to be much, but it was pretty good. I also enjoy Matchstick Men as well.

Update about Netflix Instant View...

I have a 1.5Mbps connection, I am now getting POOR quality streams through my Xbox.

I get 1 bar, when it starts streaming about few minutes in it freezes and says it needs to adjust the quality. After that you can't even see anything. Artifacts all over the place, it is not watchable by any means!

I use to get 2 bars all the time, it was less then DVD quality, but was watchable. This fraction of 1 bar is bull****.

I'll try back in a few days, maybe it's just a bug.

ugzkmk · 01-19-2009, 07:58 PM

ive been getting 4 since i started. havent noticed a drop in quality.
