I consider myself pretty knowledgeable when it comes to new movie releases. After all, it’s literally part of my job to stay on top of all the new flicks heading to theatres and streaming each […]
Calling a new thriller a “modern-day Hitchcock movie” is one of the most flattering compliments you can dish out. The legendary director wasn’t known as the “Master of Suspense” for nothing. And Christopher Landon’s “Drop” […]
It’s set to be a busy week for top new movies across the best streaming services. While Netflix is sitting this one out, its rivals are taking the opportunity to fill the void with Prime […]
I’m not a betting person, but if I were, I’d be staking a lot of money that Netflix’s “Sirens” is going to be the streaming service‘s next big original TV hit. This dark comedy premieres […]
As we barrel towards the end of April, we’re almost a third of the way through the year. Now is the perfect time to take stock of the year in streaming to date. Specifically, I’m […]
Like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches or Bert and Ernie, some combinations just work. Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg teaming up for a buddy cop action-comedy? Yup, that’s another pairing that feels natural. 2013’s “2 […]
I’m especially excited about this week’s new movies across the best streaming services. That’s because we’re finally set to see the debut of an action-thriller I’ve been waiting for since early 2021, Netflix’s “Havoc.” This […]
It’s set to be another busy week for new movies arriving across the best streaming services with platforms including Netflix, Max and Hulu offering subscribers new additions to watch. Perhaps the biggest newcomer of the […]
We’re more than a third of the way through 2025 and now is a great time to take stock of which Netflix movies have claimed the No. 1 spot this year. As of this week, […]
Every week, I sort through all the new releases across the best streaming services and premium video-on-demand platforms and pick out the most exciting movies worth watching. This week is a slightly underwhelming slate, but […]
Ryan Gosling is one the finest actors currently working in Hollywood. The Ontario native will forever be known to many people for his iconic role as Ken in the “Barbie” movie, but for me, Gosling […]
I’ve been an obsessive cinephile pretty much my entire life (don’t believe me? I saw more than 100 movies in theatres last year!), and every month, I comb through Netflix’s slate of new movies and […]
As March draws to a close it marks the quarter point of 2025. Now is a great time to take stock of the year so far, and the chance to reflect on all the best […]
I comb through the movies arriving across the best streaming services every week. This week has offered some heavy-hitters like “Mufasa: The Lion King” heading to Disney Plus or Prime Video’s debuting a new original […]
Prime Video’s new mystery thriller “Holland” is the streaming service’s best new original movie of 2025 so far. That probably sounds like a gushing compliment, but don’t misunderstand my intentions; it’s as backhanded as praise […]
If there’s one thing you can depend on when an Amazon sales event rolls around it’s big discounts on the retailer’s own product range. Amazon’s Big Spring Sale hasn’t bucked that trend, and right now […]
This week’s slate of new movies across the best streaming service is shaping up nicely with flicks that should appeal to all tastes arriving on popular platforms including Netflix, Prime Video and Disney Plus. My […]
Sci-fi action flick “The Electric State” landed on Netflix last week, and within less than 24 hours, had already claimed the No. 1 spot in the streaming service’s top 10 list. As one of the […]
Netflix has confirmed its slate of movies being removed in March 2025 and there’s good news and bad goods. The good news is that the quantity of movies leaving the streaming service’s content library this […]
“Promising Young Woman” hit me like a lightning bolt when I saw it for the first time upon its initial release in 2020. Yes, the twisted narrative gripped me and offered plenty of entertainment, but […]
You might think scoring a No. 1 rank in Netflix’s top 10 most-watched list is something of a guarantee of quality — but that’s certainly not the case. I’ve been tracking the Netflix charts daily […]
It’s been an excellent start to the year for thriller fans. The likes of “Companion” and “Black Bag” seem surefire bets to be among the best in the genre in 2025, and that’s just the […]
There are plenty of new movies to enjoy across the best streaming services this week. Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu and Max are offering subscribers new flicks, and there are also some noteworthy additions on premium […]
Sometimes great movies don’t get the attention they deserve, and that was definitely the case with 2016’s “Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping.” This genius musical mockumentary is up there with “This is Spinal Tap” as […]
Prime Video is one of the best streaming services around, but it’s also one of the best free streaming services. While its free offering used to be split into a separate platform known as Freevee, […]
Spotting a little red “N” logo in the Netflix library isn’t exactly a guarantee of quality. To be blunt, more often than not Netflix original movies miss the mark. Or at least, the high-profile ones […]
It speaks to the remarkable quality of Netflix’s new dramatic thriller, “Adolescence,” that even with my significant pre-release interest due to the talent involved (both in front and behind the camera), it still managed to […]
Robert De Niro’s new Netflix show ‘Zero Day’ continues to stick around the streaming service’s top 10 most-watched list several weeks after launch. This popular series appears to be just the start of their collaboration […]
Netflix has confirmed which movies it’s set to remove from its movie library in March 2025. I expect blockbusters like “Godzilla vs. Kong” and “Mad Max: Fury Road” will catch the majority of eyes but […]
Netflix has just added the latest psychological thriller from director M. Night Shyamalan. “Trap” launched in theaters last August, and while the critical response was fairly mixed, there’s one element I adored: Its unique setting […]
Following the passing of Gene Hackman last month, film fans across the globe have been eager to celebrate the acclaimed actor’s impressive career. Naturally, this has resulted in several of Hackman’s movies seeing a resurgence […]
It’s set to be another bumper week for new movies across the best streaming services with Netflix, Max, Hulu and Paramount Plus all offering new films for subscribers to enjoy. That’s before I even touched […]
Prime Video offers subscribers a wealth of movies, including a whole load of excellent thrillers. But did you know that Prime Video also offers a library of free movies that can be enjoyed even if […]
Netflix’s slate of new movies for March 2025 isn’t the largest I’ve ever seen, but as history often proves “bigger doesn’t always mean better.” The list may be slightly smaller than in previous months, but […]
Forgive me, Tom Hiddleston, I wasn’t really familiar with your game. If you thought the English actor’s best role was as the trickster God Loki in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, you might want to think […]
I can confidently say that I did not see the end of “Delicious” coming. Netflix’s new thriller movie goes to some pretty wild and seriously dark places, and while from the get-go it’s clear that […]
Netflix recently added 2018’s “Operation Finale,” and I’m a little frustrated to see it fail to make much of an impression with subscribers. The historical spy thriller was added back in February, but almost two […]
I’m not usually unsettled by movies but “Lake Mungo” really freaked me out. This low-budget Australian horror-thriller has developed a cult following in the years since its release in summer 2008, and it’s easy to […]
There’s certainly a sense of familiarity about Netflix’s upcoming thriller movie, “Bullet Train Explosion.” Set on a high-speed train snaking through Japan, it follows a group of passengers trapped in a deadly situation when an […]
It’s a good time to be an “Alien” fan. The franchise has been revitalized by the release of “Alien: Romulus” last summer and the first-ever TV show set in the iconic sci-fi universe is arriving […]
Netflix’s ever-changing ranking of the top 10 most-watched movies on the platform is typically dominated by new releases. However, it’s not uncommon for an older movie or two to find a place in the list, […]
It’s set to be a slightly slower week for new movies, but major streaming services including Netflix, Prime Video and Max still have fresh films for subscribers to enjoy over the coming days. However, my […]
Never judge a book by its cover, or a Netflix show by its overly glossy poster. On the surface, “Running Point” could be mistaken for a disposable Netflix comedy that does little but pad out […]
With a playful name like “How to Have Sex,” you might initially assume this new to Netflix drama movie is a playful romantic comedy about a hapless singleton experiencing the trials and tribulations of modern […]
Last month, Netflix debuted “Prison Cell 211,” an action-thriller series based on the novel by author Francisco Pérez Gandul. But this wasn’t the first time the book had been adapted. Back in 2009, it was […]
If you happen to be a fan of a certain Mr. Wick then you’re going to want to add “Demon City” to your Netflix watchlist. This new revenge thriller just arrived on the streaming service, […]
I’ve been eagerly anticipating “Havoc” on Netflix for a very long time. Back in spring 2021, when the action-thriller project was first confirmed, I wrote about how the movie looked like a “serious boon” for […]
