Netflix is now available in Canada!

Finally after a long wait Netflix has launched in Canada. For only $7.99 per month you can stream and rent unlimited movies and videos. This movie rental service has done famously well in the USA and there has long been speculation whether they would be the only ones to get such a service as the market was large enough to support it.

In Canada sevices like zip.ca have provide a great DVD rental service but have yet not delivered on a streaming solution. This is where netflix.ca delivers. The abilit to stream videos in real time to your TV, PS3, Wii, xBox, boxee or your regular computer is amazing news for movie lovers all over Canada.

I personaly expect I will be canceling my zip subscription (sorry zip, you have been good but you have to compete with instant access) and signing up with netflix right away.

The biggest difference with something like Netflix US and Zip.ca is that the Netflix Canada service does not send you the DVD in the mail. It is online streaming only. Who know if this will change in the future.



The Karate Kid is back...(2010)

Who would have thought that the name alone would make it to the big screen again let alone using the same story. This time it is Jackie Chan, a personal favourite for light hearted Karate Movies and Will Smiths son, Jaden Smith. The trailer is online now and the movie is going into cinemas June 11. As a young man I was often likened to Ralph M from the original 3 Karate Kids. Can't say I liked it. Hopefully this movie gives some credit to the name.
