Netflix Canada Review

I've been given a free trial of Netflix Canada.  Last year I was given a free trial when Netflix first arrived in Canada.  Back then I wasn't impressed.  It didn't nearly have the selection of videos that Netflix US had.  This time things are a little different.  There are a lot more movies to choose from.  I'm a big horror movie fan and for the past two weeks I've watched films I've never seen before.  There are a lot more that I have not seen I look forward to watching them.

I am disappointed at the lack of fitness videos.  I couldn't find any in my search. And the new releases aren't so new, but the best thing about the free trial is getting to watch the new season of Arrested Development.  I am considering signing up for the monthly membership of unlimited streaming which is only $7.99.  I didn't think it was worth it last year, but it has gotten better. Go to their website, check it out and sign up for a free trial! Netflix Canada

Review of the Day: RED

Former CIA agent Frank Moses (Bruce Willis) is retired and living a boring suburban life. When someone tries to kill him he is thrust back into CIA action. He finds out he has been determined RED (retired,extremely dangerous). He then kidnaps the woman, Sarah (Mary-Louise Parker) he's been speaking to on the phone about his pension checks. Didn't really understand why he knew they would try to kill her too because it wasn't like he was telling her government secrets.

The pacing of the movie was all wrong. It seemed like they were trying too hard to make a story out of nothing. I was bored for most of the film except when the John Malkovich character Marvin shows up. He had some funny moments and when there were explosives I was impressed with the special effects.

The trailer makes it seem like they are all together in the movie for most of it, but it took forever for us to see Helen Mirren. She played Victoria and she was a badass. I just kept saying to myself if I could look half as good as her when I'm sixty I will be happy. She looked very comfortable shooting a machine gun in an evening gown. Morgan Freeman was great as always. I just was disappointed that all of these extremely talented actors couldn't save this movie. If you like a lot of action and don't really care about the script then this is the movie for you.
