I am considering getting Amazon Prime and canceling Netflix. I currently have the Netflix where I get mailed physical DVDs. There is lag time and it's a pain in the behind to have to go find a mailbox to ship them back. I have found that while Netflix has a large quantity of movies in their selection, the quality is not there. I'd say that only about 15-20% of their movies seem worth watching, not being dirty or stupid. How would you compare the selection of Netflix movies to those of Amazon Prime?

Mel Gibson has made a move about a pacifist who served nobly during WWII. It's a testament to his filmmaking chops, and also an act of atonement that may succeed in bringing Gibson back.

It’s the first movie Gibson has directed since “Apocalypto,” 10 years ago (a film he’d already shot before the scandals that engulfed him), and this November,...

I am a very long time lurker (typically in the articles section), FR feeds my soul, you could say, and always has. I rarely post, though.

Anyhoo, my post today is non-political. I decided to post today because I have been looking for online streaming entertainment to watch and I am dismayed at the popularity of all the Dark, Dark material that both...
