It is that time again avid binge watchers of TV shows and films, when Netflix adds new streaming titles for the month of July. This time it varies from shrunken kids, a naked killer, a karate kid, anime, to more science-fiction. Here is a glimpse of the new streaming additions on Netflix.
As reported by the Latin Post, the Netflix "original" anime TV series "Knights of Sidonia" debuted on independence Day.

Also in the 12-episode series, there is a killer shape-shifting race that will stop at nothing to see the destruction of humanity.
Also returning to Netflix TV is their original series "Hemlock Grove: Season 2," (2014) starring Famke Janssen of the "X-Men" films. The story opens with the brutal murder of a teenage girl in a town called Hemlock Grove; as a result of her death, there is a manhunt to find her killer. But how can anyone find the truth in a town that is filled with secrets; one of those being that almost everyone is literally a monster.
In films, there is the movie that made Sharon Stone a household name, "Basic Instinct" (1992), about a homicide detective who investigates a brutal murder, in which Stone plays a seductive woman who is perhaps involved.
"Boyz N the Hood" (1991) returns once again. This is the film that made stars out of Ice Cube and Cuba Gooding Jr. The John Singleton directed film focuses on the social problems of the inner-city in Los Angeles. The ills of drugs, alcohol, lack of parenthood, and gangs are seen through the eyes of three friends: Cube's Doughboy, Gooding Jr.'s Tre, and Doughboy's half-brother Ricky Baker, played by Morris Chestnut.
"Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" (1989) also debuts on Netflix. Rick Moranis plays a scientist father who has a teenage son and daughter that he accidentally shrinks, along with the neighborhood teens, to the size of ants.

Joaquin Phoenix plays a Navy Service officer in WWII who returns to the U.S. Phoenix's Freddie Quell has both emotional and psychological problems. Then he meets a cult and its leader, played by Hoffman, who makes Phoenix's Freddie see clearly.
If you want to beat the heat, then dive into the waters and submerge yourself with two submarine films: "Crimson Tide," and "The Hunt for Red October." "Crimson Tide," stars Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman who play Navy senior commanding officers at odds on a submarine. Unable to make a critical and crucial decision about launching nuclear warheads, the crew is torn apart, and mutiny begins.
In "The Hunt for Red October," starring Sean Connery and Alec Baldwin, Baldwin plays the CIA analyst Jack Ryan who has been hired to stop a Soviet nuclear submarine that is heading towards the U.S. ocean.
"A Raisin in the Sun" comes to Netflix. This is the Lorraine Hansberry African-American play, that came to Broadway starring P. Diddy, Sanaa Lathan, Phylicia Rashad, and six-time Tony winner Audra McDonald. All of the actors reprise their roles in this 2008 film, about an African-American family dealing with poverty, unemployment, stereotypes, death, and making it rich.
In 1984 there was the classic '80s hit "The Karate Kid," that film spawned two sequels. All of them are now available to stream. Speaking of sequels, if you are in the mood for some science-fiction, enjoy the "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" based off of the original series, and also available is its sequel "Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan."
