Netflix is Go!

As most everyone that read's The B Reel knows, Im a huge fan of Netflix and their Watch it Now feature. Earlier this summer they had announced the app would be coming for the iPhone and Ipod touch, Finally that day has come.

Yesterday Netflix mobile app for iOS hit the market place, I instantly downloaded it. Its pretty slim down easy to work app, I could see some upgrades down the line that include your DVD Q as well. But as it is right now, its all about the instant streaming baby!

It works over wifi of course but as some what as a surprise to me it does allow 3G streaming. Sadly AT&T is very poor in my area so trying to stream over 3G will hardly ever happen. But even so I'm glad to finally have my Netflix instant in my pocket.

If you have an iPhone(or a Ipod Touch) and happen to be a member of netflix, I say why not have this app?

Netflix Reels a Deal

I love movies, I also love Television shows when i find the time to watch them, But some times i just hate going to the movies as its pricey and you never know when you'll have a good group of people in the room with you, Plus whats really worth seeing on the big screen as of late? (The answer would be Inception for anyone wondering). I could always wait awhile and download whatever it is i wanted as well but at times I'd rather just sit back and watch maybe a TV show, But i seem to always fall behind on seasons even with my Tivo.

With Netflix I always have that option to find some classic movie and push play or maybe find a show i never finished or missed a season because cable bills are just way too high, Possible that my Tivo also forgot to record something here or there.


I alway notice how people complain that the selection is "poor" on netlix watch instant. I would always disagree as i have plenty on my Q that i havnt made it to and I always seem to be adding more to it. So running low on content has never been an Issue for me. (As of this article i have 75 items on my instant Q)
Come September 1st it really shouldn't be a big issue with other people either as Netflix has just announced a joint deal with the subscription based service Epix that will load the netflix servers with movies from Paramount Pictures to Lionsgate and MGM. The slight downfall people will point out is we still will have a 90 day wait between the release on DVD and the upload on Netflix.


This deal which cost netflix in the ball park of One Billion dollars in all the crazy fees and such will bring a bigger and better selection to something i already find purely amazing and robust.

What does Netflix cost now adays anyways? I've been a member for years paying around 17 bucks for two Blu rays at a time and the amazing watch now library. Very much worth whatever amount i pay right now. I suggest anyone without a netflix account to check it out.

Come September 1st you will notice more and more Big budget films coming to your watch now list. The deal with Netflix and Epix will last for around five years, I'm sure they will notice a nice surge of new members with this nice announcement as well.
