There’s nothing more satisfying and surprising than watching a movie with a good twist and as the biggest streaming service on the planet, naturally, Netflix is home to several flicks full of them. In these […]
Netflix has confirmed that it will be removing “The Rental” this month so now is the time to watch this intense dark thriller before it waves goodbye to the streaming service (for now, at least; […]
If you’re looking for something to watch on Prime Video this weekend, the streaming service’s top 10 list of the most-watched movies on the platform is a great starting point. However, a high ranking is […]
There aren’t many movies I’ve defended more passionately in my time than “Only God Forgives.” I can recall near shouting matches with friends as they declared it “gaudy” and “pretentious” and I declared it “memorizing” […]
The recent release of “Babygirl” has got me thinking about the best Nicole Kidman movies, and while there are some obvious picks (like the first “Paddington” or Stanley Kubrick’s disarming “Eyes Wide Shut”), “Lion” definitely […]
You could be forgiven for initially thinking the trailer for “Cassandra,” Netflix’s upcoming sci-fi thriller series, was actually a preview for the latest season of “Black Mirror.” While the two Netflix shows are technically unrelated, […]
It’s set to be a quieter week for new movies across the best streaming services. The biggest players such as Netflix and Prime Video are keeping their powder dry without anything fresh for subscribers to […]
The release of a new action-thriller movie starring Liam Neeson is hardly front-page news. The veteran Irish actor has made a late-career habit of featuring in movies about hitmen, mobsters and criminal enforcers. However, “In […]
One of the signs of a truly special comedy is when you need to watch it a second time to catch all the jokes you missed the first time around. And trust me when I […]
Netflix was a little bit lazy over the holiday season dropping only a small slate of new movies last month but the streaming service is picking up the slack in January 2025 with a load […]
The first weekend of 2025 is almost here, which means it’s time to get streaming. If you’re still partied out from the festive period and NYE, Prime Video has plenty of excellent movies you can […]
2011 was a heck of a year for Ryan Gosling. The “Barbie” actor starred in “Crazy, Stupid, Love,” “Drive” and “The Ides of March”, and while the first two (rightfully) remain iconic to this day, […]
I have a huge fondness for all things Wallace & Gromit, and not just because I’m British. In my early youth, I watched a VHS copy of “A Grand Day Out” so frequently that its […]
Netflix is kicking off 2025 by continuing what has become an (almost) annual tradition. In 2021 and 2024, the streaming service began the New Year by premiering a mystery thriller show based on a Harlan […]
It’s the first week of a new year, and the best streaming services are leaping into 2025 with a small (but solid) handful of new movies that you can enjoy right now. Over the next […]
Throughout 2024, I saw 109 movies in theaters (and counting). While I’ve already highlighted my best and worst picks of the year when you see so many movies in cinemas, you inevitably watch a lot […]
Over the past 12 months, 34 movies have risen to the top of Netflix’s most-watched list and have been ranked global No. 1 on the world’s most popular streaming service (per Netflix’s tracking). That’s no […]
The festive week is one of the quietest of the year for new streaming releases. In fact, none of the major streaming services are offering new movies this week (though Netflix is debuting “Squid Game” […]
For as long as I can remember, 1946’s “It’s a Wonderful Life” has been my favorite Christmas movie. Yes, it’s the most cliché choice possible, but Frank Capra’s heart-warming flick about a man named George […]
The holidays are almost here which makes now the ideal time for watching as many movies as possible on the best streaming services. But when it comes to Netflix it can be hard to know […]
“Anora” is the name on everybody’s lips right now. This romantic drama, with a sparkling comedic streak, was the big winner at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival back in May, is likely to be a […]
It’s the week before Christmas and the best streaming services are celebrating with some of the final new movie releases of 2024. Netflix, Max and Disney Plus are each adding something new for you to […]
