Netflix Titles You May Have Missed: Here Are a Dozen Good Summer Shows for Staying Indoors
This weekend marks the beginning of summer, and some of you choose to stay indoors. While you are doing so, Netflix has added some streaming titles in the middle of this month that you might not have been aware of.
These new streaming titles vary from zombies, a detective caper, a comedy, to some TV shows. The Latin Post reported on the newest titles that came out at the end of May, and some titles have emerged without notice. Here is a list of some the Netflix streaming titles:
"World War Z" stars Brad Pitt and is about a United Nations crisis manager Pitt's Gerry Lane, who is forced to travel around the world to stop the spread of a virus that is causing a zombie pandemic. Meanwhile, his family lives on a ship awaiting his return. This is perhaps a fresher take on a zombie story.
"The Devil's Knot" stars Academy award-winners Reese Witherspoon and Colin Firth in the trial of teenagers who were accused of killing three young children. Based on a true story, the teenagers had reportedly killed the children because of a satanic ritual.
"Girl Most Likely" stars Kristen Wiig, the "Saturday Night Live" alum and star of "Bridesmaids." Wiig plays a failed and miserable New York playwright, who was once the big "it" girl and is now yesterday's news.
"The Skinny": From the director of "Punks" and the creator of "Noah's ARC" Patrik-Ian Polk comes a story of life lessons, particularly for the black LGBT community. It is set in the summer of New York in Harlem.
In TV, there are Seasons 1-3 of "Scandal,," the crazy, political, action and drama series about Olivia Pope and associates as they navigate and bend the rules and the laws of justice in the halls of Washington and the White House. Also returning is Season 3 of Sherlock, the modern day version of the brilliant detective, starring Benedict Cumberbatch.
Also from TV, the hit British TV series "Doctor Who," starring Matt Smith as the eleventh Doctor, Series 7 drops in just in time. Also, the TV mini-series "Bonnie and Clyde," in this version the series is again based on the true story of Clyde Barrow, who is a charismatic, and convicted armed robber, who falls in love with Bonnie Parker, a seemingly naive small-town waitress. The two then go on a journey of robbing banks, murders, killing sprees and perhaps love.
"Tiny: A Story About Living Small" is a documentary about the cultural phenomenon that is sweeping the nation: people living in a small mobile home. "Tiny" follows a couple's attempt at building what they call a Tiny House from scratch. The couple has no building experience. The documentary also profiles the lives of other families who have downsized their homes into smaller houses. The homes are as basic as you can get.
"The Story of Luke" is about a young man named Luke who suffers from autism and is forced to live in the real world that does not expect anything from him. As he journeys through life, Luke thinks that he is on a quest to find a job and true love.
The Smurfs 2": The Smurfs return to team up with their human friends to rescue Smurfette, who has been kidnapped by Gargamel. There is more magic, comedy and the creation of new Smurfs known as the "Naughties."
"Three Men and A Baby": The 1980s classic comedy starring Ted Danson, Tom Selleck and Steve Guttenberg. They play three bachelors who discover that they must take care of a baby who has been left by one of the guys' girlfriends.
