Behind You
There are more than a few noteworthy names to look at here. For one, viewers will get the chance to reappraise Birds of Prey, a film that didn’t find an audience when it released in the winter – or at least, not the kind of audience expected of a comic book movie. Hard to recall the last time anything from DC or Marvel came out with such little fanfare. Anyway, perhaps it’ll experience a better reception when it joins HBO Max this Saturday.
Of course, today brings with it several great titles, too. Netflix Original Project Power is generating all sorts of hype online, while D+ has finally brought Ant-Man and the Wasp over to their service, meaning they now have every single Marvel Studios movie.
Moving on to Sunday, there are two unusual bedfellows coming to Netflix – Rowan Atkinson spy comedy Johnny English, and 2012’s big screen musical Les Misérables. I wouldn’t say either are without merit, but nor are they immediate must-sees. In their defence, I will say that John Malkovich playing a pantomime villain with a pantomime French accent is pure fun, and Russell Crowe singing not just once but for an entire film’s runtime is, well, an experience.
Thinking of catching any of these new additions over the weekend? Drop a comment below if so. For me, it’s going to be Sunday on Netters with Johnny English and Les Misérables. It’ll be an interesting afternoon, that’s for sure.
