December and Netflix are inextricably linked. With the extra time off and Netflix releasing some of his most prestigious award contenders and largest crowd-pleasers, there has never been a better opportunity to catch up on new releases and old favorites.
Lopper:
Rian Johnson made ‘Looper,’ a small-scale time-travel thriller, before going to a galaxy far, far away and creating an unexpected franchise out of a cartoonishly southern-fried detective.
The Power of The Dog:
The Power of the Dog, a grim, nerve-rattling Western from acclaimed director Jane Campion, is receiving a lot of support from Netflix’s awards campaign. The new picture stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Phil Burbank, a smart ranch owner with a vicious streak a mile wide, and is based on the 1967 novel of the same name.
Tremors:
Rian Johnson made ‘Looper,’ a small-scale time-travel thriller, before going to a galaxy far, far away and creating an unexpected franchise out of a cartoonishly southern-fried detective. When is the best time to see ‘Tremors’? No, we didn’t believe so. What’s remarkable about the giant-worm-monsters-under-the-dirt classic is that everything still works so well more than three decades later – the practical effects are just as convincing; the uncanny mix of horror and comedy hits both marks beautifully, and the cast.
The Lost Daughter:
In the coming weeks, ‘The Lost Daughter’ is expected to be a big award candidate, and with a good cause. “The Lost Daughter,” Maggie Gyllenhaal’s directorial debut, is based on the Elena Ferrante novel of the same name and follows Leda (Olivia Colman), a divorced professor, on a gorgeous Greek vacation.
Dr. Seuss The Cat in the Hat:
Following the catastrophic implosion of the ‘Sprockets’ film, Mike Myers and director Bo Welch reunited for Universal’s ‘The Cat in the Hat,’ while avoiding legal action.
