Chances are that you've already got plenty of stuff adding up on your Netflix queue right now, especially with this month's incredible collection of new content. October has been great for fans of scary media thanks to the addition of all nine episodes of The Haunting of Bly Manor, Adam Sandler's horror-comedy Hubie Halloween, and the grotesque Rob Zombie flick House of 1000 Corpses. And when you add in the recent selection of classics like Gran Torino, Her and Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, you've got enough to keep you busy for quite a while.
There are few relationships more intriguing to audiences than the ongoing battle of wills between Batman and his archenemy the Joker. Throughout nearly a century of comics, films, TV series and video games, the Dark Knight has endured the relentless treachery of the maniacal Clown Prince of Crime, yet the story remains endlessly entertaining because the two characters have been written to be a justification of one another's very existence.
Comedies are doing quite well on Netflix right now, as American Pie Presents: Girls' Rules, Employee of the Month, The Grinch and The Croods are all occupying spots on the service's Top 10 Movies list. And rounding out that chart of funny flicks are two Adam Sandler efforts that have been holding steady throughout the last week – one brand new and another a classic 90s favorite.
Netflix subscribers have already been treated to a smorgasbord of fresh stuff in October, such as Adam Sandler's horror-comedy film Hubie Halloween, paranormal horror series The Haunting of Bly Manor, and classic movies like Clint Eastwood's drama Gran Torino and cerebral Will Ferrell flick Stranger Than Fiction. But although you've probably got plenty to watch as it is, you can always count on the steaming site to keep dropping fresh content for you to add to your list throughout each month.
In a world filled with streaming services, each one has to make a case for why you should sign up and watch content with them, specifically. In order to do this, it's quite common for said services to offer free trials that give you full access to their library of titles so that you can see firsthand whether or not you should spend your hard earned money on a subscription.
It'd be difficult to argue that 2020 hasn't been an unusual period in human history. The ongoing COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic has ravaged the globe, infecting nearly 40 million people worldwide and killing over a million. And it certainly hasn't been kind to the economy, either, causing countless citizens to lose their jobs, sinking small businesses and throwing a wrench into the gears of the entertainment industry.
World renowned author Stephen King isn't shy about sharing movie, TV series and book recommendations with his fans – so much so that we've even compiled a list of nearly every time he's recommended something on Netflix. And now, following his endorsement of an unusual film last week, he's spoken up about a new show on the aforementioned platform that he feels everyone needs to check out.
It's that time of year again where streaming services are doing their best to provide subscribers with plenty of scary new content to watch for Halloween. And there's no denying that Netflix has been hitting it out of the park so far, which is evident when taking a look at what's trending on the platform lately. For instance, Adam Sandler's new comedy-horror flick Hubie Halloween has been maintaining its #1 spot on the service's Top 10 Movies list with ease over the past several days, but it's currently only sitting at #2 on Netflix's overall most-watched content chart, and that's thanks to a downright terrifying new series that's dominating right now.
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.
