Netflix here I am!

So I'm years late on joining the mailable dvd/blu-ray cause, but I'm here...for now.  The struggle with committing has everything to do with my experiences with video rental stores like Blockbuster.  Can't stand their model, though I'm sure in the past it was profitable...for them!  So I'm giving Netflix a chance for two reasons.  One, I just got a Playstation 3 and want to watch some blu-ray movies.  Two, I own a Xbox 360 and that system offers streaming movies via Netflix.  The 14-day trail period started last night.

I'm prepared to hit cancel already.  I tried streaming a couple of movies last night and while the setup is great, the performance was lacking.  Sometimes I would have to load the movie 3-4 times (takes like 30 seconds, so not really a huge deal) to get optimal video quality.  The point is, it should work great the first time!  Now, I know people will say, it's you're internet connection speed.  Whatever!  

For the next 14, or 13 days, I'll run Netflix through its paces and hope to later post that it's the greatest service known to man.  I have my doubts though.  A couple of people have already told me that the service begins great, but then falters with slower delivery times, etc.  Add that to the fact that they apparently just raised their price on the blu-ray feature and a guy begins to wonder (see post below).

Good luck to you Netflix...I hope you don't get Blockbustered!

The Bucket List

The Bucket List.

The next movie I will pay to see is The Bucket List. I can't wait. Morgan Freeman rocks everything he touches and Jack, well, he's Jack.

I'm back into movies. I saw PS I Love You last week. Good movie. I could have used a box of tissue or some eye wipers, but I enjoyed it.

Bucket List here I come on the 11th.

My Date With Drew - 30 days - $1,100 - 1 date

I just finished watching the last hour of "My Date with Drew." The movie, at least the part I saw was so real and inspiring. Every dreamer out there needs to rent/watch/buy this movie and remember what gets them up in the morning.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE!!!

It's a Wonderful Life

I just finished watching It's a Wonderful Life for the first time. What a great movie! It's a shame that I've gone this long without seeing such a classic, but I had. It proves that when something is great, it is great yesterday, today and tomorrow.

A well done film. That is what classic is all about. Watch it or watch it again.

It's a Wonderful Life!
