There are plenty of phenomenal movies to watch on Netflix, and the service does a good job of consistently updating its collection with both classic films and new original content. This month alone has seen the addition of some beloved flicks, such as Jim Carrey's ridiculously funny Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, Joaquin Phoenix's cerebral drama Her, and the emotionally powerful Clint Eastwood flick Gran Torino – and that's just scratching the surface of October's selections.
If there's one thing that just about anyone can agree on, it's that movie adaptations of video games are almost always abysmal, as so much is often lost in the process of reshaping an interactive experience into that of a passive one. Whether it's the bizarre live-action Super Mario Bros., Mark Wahlberg's misstep Max Payne, or the overstuffed and clumsy Assassin's Creed, you can rest assured that you're getting a substantially worse experience from the film than you would by simply playing the game(s) it's based on.
It doesn't really matter what kind of movies and shows you like, as Netflix has you covered with its ever-expanding selection of incredible content across various genres. Just this month, we've been given classics like Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls and Gran Torino alongside the first season of Emily in Paris and the sixth run of Schitt's Creek. But it's inching ever closer to Halloween, so you're probably wondering where all the creepy stuff is, right?
October's Netflix collection has been quite fantastic so far, offering a wide variety of intriguing new things for fans of nearly every genre. Comedy lovers have been treated to classics like Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls and Employee of the Month, while those itching for dramatic storytelling are surely enjoying hits such as Gran Torino and Her. But most importantly, it's almost Halloween, so Netflix has been pumping plenty of horror content onto the service, too.
In a year filled with an ongoing pandemic, raging wildfires on the West Coast, and a level of civil unrest unseen since the 1960s, it's understandable that the upcoming presidential election has a lot riding on it. That's exactly why Vice President Mike Pence and Democratic VP nominee Kamala Harris held a Wednesday tonight discussing the issues plaguing the country and the world as a whole, hoping to win over undecided voters for their ticket.
Being a Netflix subscriber in October is an exciting experience, thanks to the addition of so many classic films alongside brand new original content, much of which is Halloween focused in some form or fashion. That trend continues today, too, as we've now got another drop for the streaming platform and though it may be small, it comes packing quite the punch.
At any moment in time, you can load up YouTube and find some strange and surprising things to watch, and most of us have at least stumbled upon that side of the internet once or twice. But actor and comedian Kevin James seems to be wanting to bring such awkward hilarity right to you directly in a new video on his YouTube channel, and he's even managed to get his good friend Adam Sandler to narrate it for him.
This year's showdown between the highly contentious incumbent Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden has already been filled to the brim with concerns about election integrity, the future of women's rights, and the handling of COVID-19. Republicans voting for Trump view their vote as one for the protection of their conservative ideals, while Democrats voting for Joe Biden feel that the very stability of the country's democracy and safety hangs in the balance.
