    The Killing Machine:
    A Soviet-trained assassin is determined to escape his double life as a hitman and as a husband-father.

    Stars, and is directed by, Dolph Lundgren.

    Yep, that's the review. I think everyone can determine for themselves whether or not they want to watch this. It was a time killer for me, at best.
    Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

If you go disc option (I have streaming and 1-disc plans), that is a crap ton of viewing available. My streaming list is about 2 dozen, my disc list is about 120. Those numbers have remained pretty constant for the last 4-5 years.
      The only reason I would join Netflix is to see their originals- everything else is available by other means- in theaters, on other movie channels, streaming via my cable service. The part that I can't see are the originals- other than the ones they are putting in cinemas.

      And if they are putting what they think are their best foot forward in the cinemas, even with the best subject manner, I'm not all that sure I would enjoy watching them. There are a few more NF original movies to see before awards season- but based on what I've seen so far, it seems to me they are putting a lot more money into promotion than they are into the films. And in the end, that means it saves me some money in the long run.

        Netflix:

        Stranger Things
        American Vandal
        Mindhunter
        Big Mouth
        House of Cards

        All first rate.

        I don't think I have ever seen a Netflix original movie though I understand there are hundreds of them.

            I honestly don't think of I have heard of any of them. Did Roma have an Oscar nomination? If so that's the only one.

            It's like 300 movies for people who think The Incredible Mrs. Maisel is clever.

              I dunno. I'm in for...

              277. The Babysitter
              This ’80s-throwback slasher from notorious Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle director McG is an inexplicable Satanic-panic flick that pits a nail-biting kid against his hottie coed caretaker and the rest of her death cult. Why, when he first catches an eyeful of the group (which also includes Bella Thorne, suddenly everywhere) turning a game of spin the bottle into a bloodbath, do the words “WHAT THE ****” suddenly fly onto the screen in giant red text? And then later on, when he uses a handy knife given to him by his good pal Anton Chekov in the first act, why does McG throw the phrase “POCKET KNIFE … *****ES!” in our faces? Why does the film break up its PG-13 comedy with geysers of gore that John Woo might call “a little much?” Why, after getting shot in the chest, is Bella Thorne unconcerned about her own health and wholly preoccupied with her cans no longer being perfect? Why is there so much trouble in the world?

                Roma did, but we really didn't like it. Had HUGE hopes that it would be a great film, and was very badly let down. I also had huge hopes for Marriage Story, but was also let down. Now I'm very much lowering my expectation for The Irishman.

                Having read that much of the awards are based on buying people out, noting who is getting nominated, that makes a lot more sense.

                  I've only seen a very few of the Netflix original movies, but I really did enjoy The Fundamentals of Caring. He's a guy trying to be a personal care assistant to a jaded paraplegic kid. It's pretty much by the books, but it's well done and very loosely based on a true story.

                          Roma was a film geek's movie. Beret required. I thought it sucked.

                          House Of Cards was great until the last season when the whole Spacey thing made them re-do all the writing. Mindhunter is INTENSE and awesome.

                          Also reminded me of some Univision/Telemundo stuff on there (and I'm sure there's British stuff on there) that the US re-did. La Reina Del Sur (which the US did as "Queen Of The South") and El Patron Del Mar (which Netflix did as Narcos). Stuff like that, that is off the US radar, I've had more hits than misses.

                            I'll check it out.

                            It was getting sh-tty before that. Really it was only great the first season. After that it had moments but generally disappointed.

                              Another show on Netflix that falls into this category is La Casa de papel, re-titled Money Heist for Netflix. It was originally a limited episode Spanish TV crime caper that Netflix divided up into two seasons totaling about 15 episodes, iirc. There is a third season which I've not yet seen, and supposedly a fourth season coming up.

                              I kind of liked the first two seasons, although they can be a bit corny in a telenovela sort of way. Basically, the first two seasons centered around a plot to break into the national mint in Spain, print up a couple of billion euros, then escape with the loot.

                              I think season three involves only a couple of the same characters in an entirely different adventure. While you won't come away from the first two seasons thinking you've just witnessed great art, they were fun enough to cause me to at least give season 3 a chance.

                                I think the second season of HOC is good...but yeah after that it was up and down. By the time they were running her as Veep I was out even though Claire was an AWESOME character.
