Here are capsule reviews of a few Netflix movies that are currently popular and/or trending, assuming that you can take the streaming service at its word.
A few days before Christmas, the sequel to the hit 2019 film Knives Out premiered on Netflix after a brief theatrical release.
Netflix reportedly paid $400-million plus for the rights to Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery and a planned third film in the series.
With the holidays upon us, you may be among the millions of consumers scrolling through Netflix, sometimes desperately so, to find something worth watching during the downtime.
The self-congratulatory Academy Awards ceremony, with its TV ratings in steady decline in part because no one has seen or wants to see any of the movies nominated, is on Sunday evening.
Viewers of any content branded as a Netflix original or the equivalent have reason to be wary. Zack Snyder’s much-hyped zombie apocalypse film Army of the Dead is a good example.
Mank, about adult-beverage-loving Citizen Kane screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz, a.k.a. Mank, is one of the newer original offerings from Netflix. While movies about Old Hollywood are usually pretty cool, unfortunately this one was boring and self-indulgent. In short, it’s the type of movie that the pretentious critics and compliant functionaries who vote in the Oscars like.
If you’ve managed to get through the 30 episodes of The Writer on Netflix, you might be interested in Tango, a compelling whodunit also produced by Eagle Films of Lebanon. The TV series currently streaming on Netflix stars the same two actors as The Writer, Bassel Khayyat and the stunning Daniella Rahme, and with the same director, Rami Hanna.
Netflix is facing trouble ahead as more major content platforms launch their own streaming services. At the moment, however, one of the cool things it offers to subscribers is movie and TV content from overseas, particularly in the “thriller” genre, which is often far more creative and inventive than the conventional Hollywood product.
If you’re browsing your Netflix account for something to watch over the July 4th holiday weekend, Adam Sandler is starring in a new direct-to-video comedy alongside Jennifer Aniston. Murder Mystery is the latest movie offering from the exclusive deal between his Happy Madison Productions and the online streaming service.
