It does have a good selection. (0 more)
Could have more avaliable. (0 more)
Could have all films avalible on all versions. I have UK and it doesn't show every film on it, just those in my region and I'm missing out on some great films if Pinterest and tumblr is to be believed.
Other than that, it is a great thing to have when wanting to stream you fab shows.

Wasn't what I expected
It was a very interesting take on the world war two era, very politically based but an interesting insight on how the UK handled those troubling times. I enjoyed it profusely, it was almost a documentary film if it hasn't already been categorised as one. Definitely worth the watch!

Welcome to unicorn mountain
Contains spoilers, click to show
The fast talking Merc is back and for once bigger is better. It is rare to find a sequel that is better thanks first but in my opinion this is one.

 I first saw this film at the UK fan screening and was fortune enough to see the cast Ryan introduced the film as a "Family film welcome to unicorn mountain." The promotion for the lead up to this film was quiet family genius.

Deadpool breaks the 3rd wall and just makes you smile. I have had "have you ever noticed that papa can you here me sounds exactly like do you want to build a snowman." In my head for weeks.

Cable is a fantastic charcter mainly because although techniqually the villain he only doing what he think is right to save hundreds.

Crazy plot
One of the most original horror films in years
I had heard weird and wonderful things about this film, thus expecting something totally different to the norm. You can figure out early on the general feel of the film.... But in the final third it racks up the craziness! Some plot lines did remind me of some other films. The ending could have been drawn out a bit longer as well. I throughly enjoyed it. Good to see Daniel Kayuula in something mainstream, having seen him in some UK TV series in the past. One to watch.

Story is vital especially after recent events
A very important film given the spate of holocaust denial in recent days. This is about the renowned libel case brought by the Holocaust denier and self- proclaimed historian David Irving against American academic Deborah Lipstadt. Lipstadt referred to Irving as such in a book and was subsequently sued and taken to court in the UK. It's a powerful account of how such bogus offensive claims about the Holocaust are allowed to be published without any accountability. Having visited Auschwitz and Birkenau, watching this film was emotional enough for me let alone the survivors which I can't even compare or imagine. So it's great that a film can counteract such ludicrous claims in this day and age. Fabulous acting all round.

Such an important film, well worth all the awards
"If it takes a community to raise a child, it takes one to abuse them."

Spotlight is such an important part of media history because they uncovered one of the darkest secrets of one community, which mirrors all communities. The film is awe-inspiring, so much so that I wanted to go back into a newsroom and be a TV journalist again at the forefront of major news. This is literally the best film for journalists to watch and for audiences to understand what it's like to work in a newsroom. More importantly, it shows how vital the media can be when actually doing proper investigations.

It is extremely dark given the subject nature - but having been in a similar situation breaking the story of Jimmy Savile in the UK for British media, the film completely reflects my own personal experiences.
