Quite an underrated show.
Masterpiece
You can't call out the ABCs of Death for not being an ambitious horror anthology! Featuring shorts for every letter in the alphabet made by directors from all over the world with a budget of 5000$ each. This might be a bit much so it work's best on the small screen, giving you the chance to think about them or just taking a short break (it's clocking at a bit more than two hours). There is bound to be difference in the quality of the segments when it comes to anthologies but overall I found it to be an enjoyable project. Some shorts failed the mood a bit and "M" was a major disappointment (no idea what he used the 5000 bucks for). If you're a horror fan, nothing should stop you from watching it. I would not recommend it for casual viewers.

Certainly the best Korean "Western" if not the best Asian Western overall, it's a blast to watch. Be sure to watch the original (Korean/DVD) cut instead of the international (Netflix) cut. The international version leaves out a couple of scenes at the end which tell you what happened to some of the main characters.
one of my favorites of all time =)
An excellent film that is an absolute blast to watch.
there are comedy movies that leave you cold, because they not hit your sense of humour. In my case these movies are everthing that Seth McFarlane produces. Ted was okay, but everything else is not my cup of tea.
And then you have actors and filmmakers which just hit your laugh-spot. And for me this is Ben Stiller.
I watched Tropic Thunder the first time with my best friends in our cellarroom with a bunch of bear sixpacks on a video projector. And it was just awesome. It was just funny as hell how the actors in the movie act and how Ben Stiller made fun of hollywood stars, war movies and the whole industry.
Now i watched the movie again and it has not lost any kind of funny over-the-top comedy action.
If you want to watch this movie, watch it with good friends. It will tripple the fun.
9/10
update 09.02.2020: I just watched it on netflix again. Boy, I really like this movie :) Sure, there are some hit-and-miss-Scenes or Scenes where the joke is to long. But for me this are only a couple of scenes. Most of the movie just works for me.
These whiny actors are portraited in the properly best way possible.
The best serie ever!
To see the start of this amazing serie I even accept to watch episodes in black-white, bad quality and englisch (I'm swiss)!
;)
