I want to say “yes”, but nah. Scary movie date night stuff maybe. But yeah, probably not.
I won’t lie, that looks bladdy good. I am so sick of these horror movies that think they need an element of evil to qualify. This looks great! I love a good psychological horror.
And this! My wife and I love watching suspenseful horrors.
PG13?!?!?! No ways I am watching that - I dont have enough brown pants! So if my kids want to watch that one day, it will have to be my wife that hold their hands!

Dreaming of a better life for her and her young daughter, Liza (Emily Blunt) lands a job from Pete (Chris Evans) at a failing pharma start-up, where Liza’s charm, drive, and guts catapult her into the high life and the company into the center of a criminal conspiracy with dire consequences.
Andy Garcia, Chris Evans, and Emily Blunt, you say? That’s a little more palatable for me. And could be a decent one to watch with the missus too.

It is the summer of 1957. Behind the spectacle of Formula 1, ex-racer Enzo Ferrari is in crisis. Bankruptcy threatens the factory he and his wife, Laura built from nothing ten years earlier. Their volatile marriage has been battered by the loss of their son, Dino a year earlier. Ferrari struggles to acknowledge his son Piero with Lina Lardi. Meanwhile, his drivers’ passion to win pushes them to the edge as they launch into the treacherous 1,000-mile race across Italy, the Mille Miglia.
That’s some solid character acting by both Adam Driver and Penelope Cruz there. This is director Michael Mann’s long held passion project. He’s been trying to make it for over 20 years. The screenplay was written by Troy Martin who passed away in 2009 already. Robert de Niro, Christian Bale, and Hugh Jackman were all cast in the lead role at various stages before Adam Driver.
Yeah that was surprising.

ONE LIFE tells the true story of Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton, a young London broker played by Hopkins, who, in the months leading up to World War II, rescued 669 children from the Nazis. Nicky visited Prague in December 1938 and found families who had fled the rise of the Nazis in Germany and Austria, living in desperate conditions with little or no shelter and food, and under threat of Nazi invasion. He immediately realised it was a race against time. How many children could he and the team rescue before the borders closed?
Fifty years later, it’s 1988 and Nicky lives haunted by the fate of the children he wasn’t able to bring to safety in England; always blaming himself for not doing more. It’s not until a live BBC television show, ‘That’s Life!’, surprises him by introducing him to some surviving children – now adults – that he finally begins to come to terms with the guilt and grief he had carried for five decades.

Final trailer for Killers of the Flower Moon.
At the turn of the 20th century, oil brought a fortune to the Osage Nation, who became some of the richest people in the world overnight. The wealth of these Native Americans immediately attracted white interlopers, who manipulated, extorted, and stole as much Osage money as they could before resorting to murder. Based on a true story and told through the improbable romance of Ernest Burkhart (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Mollie Kyle (Lily Gladstone), “Killers of the Flower Moon” is an epic western crime saga, where real love crosses paths with unspeakable betrayal. Also starring Robert De Niro, Jesse Plemons, John Lithgow, Brendan Fraser, Tantoo Cardinal, Cara Jade Myers, JaNae Collins, and Jillian Dion, Killers of the Flower Moon is directed by Academy Award winner Martin Scorsese from a screenplay by Eric Roth and Scorsese, based on David Grann’s best-selling book.
More Academy Award stuff to consider.

Wes Anderson comes to Netflix! And he brings Benedict Cumberbatch, Dev Patel, Ben Kingsley, Ralph Fiennes, Rupert Friend, and Richard Ayoade with him. Interesting. Delightfully so.
You mean “Roald Dahl comes to Netflix”.
To be fair though, technically Roald Dahl “came to Netflix” two years ago already…
