So, the other night on Netflix I noticed there is a DVD version of John Woo’s Red Cliff that is the entire movie, unlike the chopped-down theatrical version; it’s on two discs and seems to be all 17 hours or whatever. So far it’s not on the instant Watch, but you can get it on DVD at least. This has [...]
The original Japanese-language version of Godzilla, released a few years back on DVD, is now available on Netflix Instant Watch.
I was just bemoaning the fact that Netflix hadn’t updated their stable of Instant Watch films in a few days when a flood of stuff hit today, including a whole ton of awesome Asian flicks: Tetsuo: The Iron Man Triad Election Phone Samaritan Girl Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles Cinderella
Fans of shitty martial arts flicks will want to check out three new offerings on Netflix’s Instant Watch service – the first two, Kickboxer 3 and 4, are probably not worth mentioning – but Yossi Wein’s Ninja-sploitation flick Lethal Ninja looks like an amazing piece of craptacular cheese. Ninjas on rollerskates? Hot damn! Trailers and/or video clips below… Kickboxer 3: [...]
Netflix just added a whole slate of new Asian cinema – trailers and descriptions below. The Bow (Ki-duk Kim) 2005 Arang (Sang-hoon Ahn) 2006 Natural City (Byung-chin Min) 2003 Election (Johnnie To) 2005
Two great Japanese flicks just hit Netflix’s Instant Watch – Sakichi Sato’s Tokyo Zombie and Yuji Shimomoura’s Death Trance. Trailers for both are embedded below. Tokyo Zombie trailer Death Trance trailer

Here are a few trailers in case you want to see what you’re getting into…
Whilst I am waxing poetic about the wonders of Netflix, here’s one more use for the service, albeit one they probably hadn’t intended – using their red envelopes t0 practice origami! From the ubiquitous water-fowl to simplified crabs, there are enough paper-folding exercises to keep you busy for a whole rainy weekend. I particularly like the sack, which could be [...]
Ever since Netflix dropped onto the Xbox 360, I’ve been streaming video like a smack addict who just stumbled onto a warehouse full of China White. The offerings were a little paltry in the first month or so, but nearly a year later the service has really stepped up its’ game. If you’re looking for a few things to add [...]
Yippee…! Last night I booted up my Xbox 360 to play a little Far Cry 2 and was pleasantly surprised to see my old 360 dashboard morph into the much touted New Xbox Experience, 1full day before the expected launch date. As it turns out – everyone who signed up for the beta program, and not previously accepted, was granted [...]
