If you're a Netflixer, you may have noticed they're tweaking their recommendation tools, adding additional qualifiers to what used to be simple, broad categories like "comedy," "drama," "action and adventure," and so on.
Now, I'm finding their recommendations for me are for categories such as:
Critically-acclaimed Cerebral Dramas
Suspenseful Foreign Action & Adventure
Visually-striking Violent Revenge Movies
Dark War Dramas
Suspenseful Movies Featuring a Strong Female Lead
Mind-bending Thrillers
Some odd categories there...
I assume it's in reaction to new third-party services such as Jinni.com, which make viewing recommendations based on much finer categorizations than Netflix's traditionally broad ones.
Anyway, it's interesting--- and so is Jinni, if you haven't already seen it. Jinni recommends any/all movies, too, not just Netflix-able ones.
