Unlucky for some, but Netflix adding a baker’s dozen of big movies to its streaming library is lucky for us, giving us plenty of viewing inspiration over the coming days and weeks!
13 Hours
Netflix kicks off its latest additions with this Michael Bay’s version of Black Hawk Down. An all-star war movie set against the real-world attack on the US Embassy in Libya. One of Bay’s best.
The Core
The core of the Earth has stopped spinning and only a group of scientists in a big drilling machine can save the day. This is basically Armageddon but with what looks like about 10% of the budget.
Coach Carter
Samuel L. Jackson is great in this pretty average sports drama about a former athlete who decides to shape up his local basketball team.
Furry Vengeance
A truly awful comedy about a property developer (Brendan Fraser) who finds himself under attack from local animals while he tries to get a building placed on their forest land.
Get Carter
Sly Stallone stars in this pretty bad remake of the Michael Caine classic crime thriller.
Miss Congeniality
When a gruff police officer (Sandra Bullock) is forced to go undercover as a beauty pageant contestant in order to stop a terrorist attack, will anyone believe that she has the beauty to be a winner? Well, yes, it is Sandra Bullock. But still, this movie is kinda fun.
Munich
Steven Spielberg’s brilliant retelling of the group of men (with some played by Eric Bana and Daniel Craig) who were tasked with assassinating the terrorist group responsible for killing athletes during the 1972 Munich Olympics.
The Negotiator
When a famous negotiator (Samuel L. Jackson) is framed for a crime he didn’t commit, he takes his former colleagues hostage, leading to a complete stranger, and another famed negotiator (Kevin Spacey), to try to talk him down. A very decent action thriller.
Parasite
Netflix has just added quite literally one of the best movies of the 21st century. In this thrilling-drama, greed and class discrimination threaten the newly formed symbiotic relationship between the wealthy Park family and the destitute Kim clan.
Primal Fear
Richard Gere plays Chicago’s best lawyer, defending a young man (Edward Norton) in his trial for the murder of an important Archbishop. A hugely entertaining, twisty-turny legal thriller.
The Remains Of The Day
Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson star in this lush, luxurious romantic drama. 96% on Rotten Tomatoes!
Shutter Island
Sent to an isolated insane asylum to find a missing woman, a detective (Leonardo DiCaprio) is forced to question everything and everyone he sees in this dark psychological thriller from Martin Scorsese.
TMNT
Not to be confused with the very good 2023 animated feature, this is the very bad 2007 animated feature.
The Holiday is one of the best Christmas movies I would watch The Holiday all year round if it was socially acceptable, but I try to keep my rewatches to December only. The Nancy Meyers hit is a Christmas classic and has been an all-time favourite of mine ever since 2006. Each rewatch brings something […]
Jude Law is eager to return as Graham People may not agree with me, but The Holiday is my number one Christmas movie. The festive rom-com never fails to put a smile on my face, so rumours about a potential sequel felt like Christmas had come early. Rumours about a second installment have been circulating […]
