Watch American Assassin on Netflix

Posted on July 25, 2018 | by Christine Wilson | 1 Comment

The 2017 movie named American Assassin has just been made available on Netflix. Would you like to watch it? Where to watch American Assassin on Netflix!

American Assassin seems to be a movie that passed by me in 2017 without me ever noticing. I haven’t heard about the movie at all before I suddenly saw it as a new movie on Netflix. I quickly checked out the trailer, and it looks like a typical spy/assassin movie, reminding me a bit about the Jason Bourne movies.

The main role is played by Dylan O’ Brian, a guy I know well from the Maze Runner movies. He seems to do a good job in this movie as well, and he is well accompanied by Michael Keaton.

The movie hasn’t received a lot of praise, and it only has a 34% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes. But, it should be mentioned that the audience score is above 60%, meaning that this might actually be a movie I will like and enjoy.

How to get access to UK Netflix? [Working in 2020]

Posted on March 1, 2018 | by Christine Wilson | 6 Comments - Last update: April 1, 2020

Access UK Netflix abroad — This is how you can access UK Netflix abroad!

Would you like to watch UK Netflix while outside England? That can be done, but it is not very easy. Here is the solution!

Let me first tell you that I can not guarantee that this will work forever as Netflix is always out there blocking access to servers and blocking IP addresses, but at the time writing this is working and this will give you access to UK Netflix wherever you might be in the world! If you try it and it should not work anymore, please write a comment and I will update the article and write about another solution that is working instead!

The article was updated in April 2020, and the method described works perfectly!

Get access to UK Netflix

If you want to use a VPN provider that will give you access to UK Netflix, then you should go ahead and use ExpressVPN. They have a brilliant VPN service and lots of servers working for UK Netflix (and they also work with Canadian Netflix, German Netflix, US Netflix). Download their client and connect to a server in England. You should now be ready to watch UK Netflix as soon as you are connected!

Visit ExpressVPN(start watching Netflix right away)

If you should get any trouble, they have support answering your questions very quickly. It is also useful to know that ExpressVPN has a 30-day full refund policy, so you can ask for your money anytime within the first 30 days after purchase if you are not satisfied.

Important information

Things might change when it comes to Netflix blocking VPNs at any time, but I do my uttermost to keep this article up to date. If you should experience trouble, please write a comment to let me know!

What’s so great about Netflix in the UK?

To be honest, there are lots of reasons why you would want to get access to UK Netflix. I have several reasons myself, and I believe that the way Netflix has the right to broadcast the eight season of Suits in the UK is a good example of that. While all other Netflix regions have to wait for a long time in order to get access to Suits season 8, the people in the UK can stream one new episode every week, just like the people watching it on real television in the United States.

There are lots of other great movies and TV shows coming to Netflix in the UK as well earlier than elsewhere, making it an attractive Netflix region to access. But, just as important is the wide specter of real British content available in the region. You will find a lot of British movies and TV shows here that you cannot find elsewhere. As a result, this is a dream haven for those who want to dig deep into the British culture and British TV series.

If you first use ExpressVPN to get access to Netflix in the UK, make sure to follow the instructions in this video to see how you can use ExpressVPN to unblock BBC in the UK as well. If you combine access to UK Netflix with BBC in England, you can stream so much fantastic and awesome content that you will have a hard time moving out to see the daylight in the coming weeks… it is simply so much great content waiting for you!

Get started right away, there is a lot of candy and snacks waiting for you at the Netflix website as you visit it using ExpressVPN.

If you have any comments or questions or need any help getting access to Netflix in the UK, make sure to write a comment.

What makes ExpressVPN so great?

If you sign up for ExpressVPN using this link you will get three months for free as you sign up for 12 months. That is a nice gift you for sure will enjoy. But, you do not have to worry, because ExpressVPN has a 30-day full refund policy. It is also great to know that you can use your ExpressVPN subscription at three different devices/computers at the same time. In other words, you can split the fee with family members or friends, and use the same subscription together.

ExpressVPN also has 256-bit encryption available, making it one of the safest VPN providers on the market. They also have a strict no-logging policy, meaning that you do not have to worry about leaving tracks about your movements online as you use ExpressVPN.

La La Land is now on Netflix

Posted on November 8, 2017 | by Christine Wilson | Leave a Comment

The big winner at the Academy Awards 2017, La La Land, can now be streamed on Netflix. Would you like to know how and where?

A couple of months ago, I wrote an article titled: When will La La Land come to Netflix? I did not have the answer back then, but my original guess was that it would arrive on Canadian Netflix first. Let me say it at once; I was wrong. Just like The Circle (a movie with Tom Hanks and Emma Watson), it did not come to Canadian Netflix first, nor to US Netflix.

Where to stream La La Land on Netflix?

If you would like to stream La La Land on Netflix, you better head to Netflix in the UK. As a consequence, you need to either reside in England or virtually reside in England to stream La La Land on Netflix. Moving to England to stream La La Land on Netflix sounds like a costly way to enjoy the movie, but virtually residing in England is much easier.

Here in my Netflix blog I have detailed descriptions on how to get access to UK Netflix, so I recommend that you read that article, follow the instructions, and in less than 10 minutes you should be ready to stream La La Land on Netflix.

If you follow those instructions, you will not only be able to stream La La Land, but you can also stream the seventh season of Suits, The Circle and lots of other goodies.

Are you going to watch La La Land on Netflix?

I am not planning to stream La La Land on Netflix myself, for two reasons.

I have already seen La La Land (before its arrival to Netflix).
I did not enjoy La La Land. In fact, I was very bored watching La La Land.

So, I am not going to watch La La Land on Netflix, but that doesn’t mean that you should skip it as well. This is a legendary movie because of all the Oscar statues it won, so you do not want to miss out on the masterpiece. You might end up like me (not enjoying the movie), but you can at least tell your grandchildren in some years from now, that you watched the movie!

Do you have any questions?

Watch Creed on Netflix

Posted on September 11, 2017 | by Christine Wilson | Leave a Comment

Did you enjoy the original Rocky movies? Would you like to see what Rocky is like as a coach? Watch the movie Creed on Netflix.

Sylvester Stallone might not be the hottest actor in the world at the moment, but in Creed, he does a fairly good job. He is the coach of Adonis Creed, the son of Apollo Creed. Rocky’s job is to help the young guy turn into the best boxer in the world, but will he succeed? Michael Jordan plays the role as Adonis Creed, though not the basketball guy, but Michael B. Jordan, a guy you might know from TV series such as Parenthood, Friday Night Lights and quite some movies in the recent years.

If you want to watch Creed on Netflix, then it can be done in the following Netflix regions.

Creed on Netflix

You can currently stream Creed in the following Netflix regions.

UK
Ireland
Norway
Sweden
Denmark
Australia

If you press the Norway or the UK links above you will find instructions on how to access Norwegian and UK Netflix which again will make you able to stream Creed on Netflix. I hope you will enjoy the movie.

The Circle is now on Netflix

Posted on July 10, 2017 | by Christine Wilson | 2 Comments

Would you like to watch Tom Hanks and Emma Watson in the movie The Circle? You can now stream the movie on Netflix in certain Netflix regions.

It’s only been a few months since I considered going to the cinema to watch The Circle. For some reason time did not allow me to do so, but it came to me as a major surprise as I by coincidence as I did a check on UK Netflix. Since I want to keep my articles up to date, I tested the method described to get access to UK Netflix abroad, and as I check it, I saw The Circle as a featured movie.

In other words, you can currently stream The Circle on:

UK Netflix
Irish Netflix

I almost didn’t want to stream The Circle on Netflix

There are lots of movies I want to see and stream, and there are lots of TV series I also want to watch. For that reason I wasn’t really sure whether or not I wanted to spend almost two hours to watch The Circle. In general, I really wanted to watch the movie, but I have mostly only heard bad reviews about the movie. Some friends who saw it in cinema, said it was really boring. At iMDB it has a 5,3/10 score (which is quite bad), and at Rotten Tomatoes it is even worse. It has a critics score of 15%, while the movies audience score is as low as 23%. Those are just terrible numbers, and once I saw those numbers, I didn’t want to waste my time on the movie. Could it be as bad as those numbers say?

After watching Emma Watson do her role in the Beauty and the Beast so wonderfully, it felt so in vain for her to take a role in such a terrible movie. And what about Tom Hanks? Could it really be that bad?

I decided to watch The Circle on Netflix anyway

I jumped on my fitness machine and started to stream The Circle on UK Netflix on my iPad. The story didn’t catch my attention, but somehow I wasn’t so bored, meaning that I did want to finish the movie. I of course couldn’t exercise for almost two hours, so I stopped watching after 40 minutes and watched the rest of the movie later.

I must admit that The Circle isn’t a brilliant movie at all, in fact it is quite boring. What interested me was simply the potential in the story, or the potential and the scariness of what the story is about. The Circle is a tech-company, quite similar to Facebook or maybe Google (or the both of them together). For Emma Watson it is about working for that company, while for us as viewers, it is rather the question about living in a transparent world, in which all our movements and words are supervised and stored. Will such information make lives better? Will the world become a better place if we are followed and supervised?

Such important questions are asked in the movie, and those were the questions that made the movie somewhat interesting to me. As the movie ended I wasn’t satisfied at all. The questions asked in the movie were good, and it was interesting to see how it all ended in the movie. But, it should have been possible to create the movie in a much more entertaining way. I felt as if the movie was flat from start till end, and I could just as well have watched a documentary on Discovery. As a result, I would not recommend this movie to anyone, except from those specially interested in online security, online privacy and similar topic.

How did you like The Circle?

I have shared my thoughts on The Circle above. How did you enjoy the movie? I would be really happy if you would take five minutes to share your thoughts.

Feel like watching Iron Man 3 on Netflix?

Posted on April 12, 2017 | by Christine Wilson | Leave a Comment

While waiting for Thor Ragnarok to arrive in the cinemas in November 2017, you might want to fill your mind with other Marvel creations. So, why not watch Iron Man 3 on Netflix?

I have earlier written about how you can watch Iron Man on Netflix, but if you have already seen the first film, and maybe also the second, then it is time to watch number three right now. But, where can you watch it? Is it possible to stream Iron Man 3 on Netflix?

If you have followed the Iron Man movies, you probably know that the Iron Man isn’t an easy guy to be. He has lots of trouble in his personal life, and he might not be the nicest guy at all times. But, at the same time he always does his uttermost to save the world, and that is happening again in Iron Man 3.

Watch Iron Man 3 on Netflix

If you want to watch Iron Man 3 on Netflix, you can currently do so in the following Netflix regions:

Spain
Portugal
Ireland
Austria
UK
Germany
Brazil
Argentina
Netherlands
France
Mexico

If you want to get access to any of these Netflix regions I recommend that you press the links above to find out how you can access those regions. For more information in general about streaming Netflix from abroad, visit netflix.fromabroad.org.

It is also worth noticing that these regions mostly give you access not only to Iron Man 3, but these will also let you stream Iron Man and Iron Man 2. I guess you are up for a night with the Iron Man tonight? Am I right or am I right?

Is there an Iron Man 4 coming up?

As far as I know there is no such movie coming up. Robert Downey Jr. is finished in his role as the Iron Man, at least so the rumors say, and without him, there might not be any future Iron Man. But, who knows… maybe an Iron Girl will continue his legacy? According to the movieweb there will however come a new Iron Man movie, but with a new lead actor in the role as Iron Man.

Travel from Bergen to Oslo on Netflix

Posted on August 10, 2016 | by Christine Wilson | Leave a Comment

Do you want to discover the beauties in the Norwegian nature? Travel with train from Bergen to Oslo. The trip lasts for seven hours and can be seen on Netflix.

The program is named Slow TV: Train Ride Bergen to Oslo and can now be seen on Indian Netflix and on UK Netflix. Simply press the links to find out more about how you can get access to content in those Netflix regions easily.

In this TV program where there is no speaking you can simply feel like as if you are seated in the very front of the train and see everything that can be seen from there. Here you can watch beautiful snow on the mountains of Norway, and also get a glimpse of the capital of Norway as the train rides in to the not so beautiful capital of Norway named Oslo.

If you try watching this you might wonder why it is so dark in the video from times to times. Do not be surprised to discover that Norway is packed with tunnels and in some of these tunnels you will not see anything at all, except from darkness. But, after a while the darkness disappears and the Norwegian nature will come forth once again.

During the train trip you will for example see pictures from Finse and here comes a fun fact. At this spot scenes for the second Star Wars film (which in a way is the fifth film) was recorded way back in time. The film will also present fun facts all the way throughout the travel, like the one you can see beneath.

Fun fact from train trip — Between Myrdal and Finse you can 34 tunnels!

Enjoy getting to know Norwegian nature and railroads as you watch this film!

She’s Funny That Way on Netflix

Posted on January 3, 2016 | by Christine Wilson | Leave a Comment

A few days ago I had the chance to watch She’s Funny That Way on my television, so I grabbed the chance and started to watch it. But do you know what? I never got to the end, because after thirty minutes I had to do something else, and since I had not really being caught by the story, I never finished watching it. But, since the film has just been added to Netflix I might actually finish it later!

She’s Funny That Way is a film that should be a great one, after all it is full of stars like Jennifer Aniston, Owen Wilson, Imogen Poots, Rhys Ifans and Kathryn Hahn. But, a film does not become good simply because stars are in it, and I was not very impressed with She’s Funny That Way.

Maybe you disagree with me, or maybe you just really want to see the film on Netflix, and if that is you, then you can watch She’s Funny That Way on Netflix in England and in Ireland at the moment. If you are located in some other Netflix region then you can easily jump to the England or Ireland region by following the instructions in the linked article.

You can also watch the film on Amazon Video and there you can either rent it or buy the film and watch it online right away. Read more about the film and how to watch it online on Amazon.com in this article that I wrote a few weeks ago.

So, maybe you have seen the film and I would love to hear from you whether you will recommend me to finish the film or if I should just skip it and watch something else instead. So, please write a comment and share your thoughts. And do not forget to bookmark this page to receive updates on what’s new on Netflix and other interesting articles!
