If you were a kid born in the ’70s or ’80s, it was your dream to work at a video store as a teen. Some of us got to do it, and it was a totally rad job. However, some people never wanted to leave, so they didn’t. And that is the basis of Blockbuster which is coming to Netflix on November 3rd.
Timmy Yoon (Randall Park) is an analog dreamer in a 5G world. He’s spent his entire adult life dedicated to his first love, movies — a passion that’s kept him at his first and only job, managing his hometown Blockbuster Video.
Then Timmy is alarmed to learn that his store is officially the last Blockbuster in America. He now has no choice but to take action to stay open and keep his friends employed. Timmy and his staff quickly come to realize that being home to the last Blockbuster might actually be exactly what their community needs to rekindle the human connections they lost to the digital age. It also unexpectedly reunites him with his long-time crush Eliza (Melissa Fumero), who’s recently come back to work for him. Will this battle to preserve the past be the push Timmy needs to step into the present? His employees can only hope so.
Does anyone else find it ironic that a show about Blockbuster is coming to Netflix since so many think the streaming site caused the demise of the video store? It didn’t, but we believe it did.
Who else misses going to rent a movie in person? The good old days. Gd, I am old!
Manifest had a 6-year plan, but not all plans go as we want. So instead, the series is going to have to combine 3 seasons into one final one. Therefore, it is going to be one hell of a ride. And as we can see in the trailer, it is going to be an enjoyable one.
Two years after the brutal murder of Grace turned their lives upside down, the Stone family is in shambles as a devastated Ben continues to mourn his wife and search for his kidnapped daughter, Eden. Consumed by his grief, Ben has stepped down from his role as co-captain of the lifeboat, leaving Michaela to captain it alone, a near impossible feat with the passengers’ every move now being monitored by a government registry. As the Death Date draws closer and the passengers grow desperate for a path to survival, a mysterious passenger arrives with a package for Cal that changes everything they know about Flight 828 and will prove to be the key to unlocking the secret of the Callings in this compelling, mind-bending, and deeply emotional journey.
So get your calendars because the first part of the season debuts November 4th on Netflix. And you are not going to want to miss it.
There have been several incarnations of Wednesday Addams throughout the decades. She has been played by Lisa Loring, Christina Ricci, Chloe Grace Moretz, and now Jenna Ortega.
Up until now, Wednesday has been part of The Addams Family. However, on November 23rd, she is getting her own series on Netflix from Tim Burton.
Ortega, who is playing the lead role, explains how her version is different than the ones that came before her. “Wednesday is currently a teenager, and we’ve never seen her as a teenager before. Her snarky, snide remarks might not necessarily sound as charming when they’re coming from somebody who should probably know better than a 10-year-old girl,” the actress said.
“That was a balancing act. We didn’t want to make her sound like every other teenage girl, but we also didn’t want to make her too ignorant. And we’ve never seen her on screen this much. Any other time you’ve seen Wednesday, she’s been the one-liner, the end of a joke, she always hits it, and I think that’s what people really love about her. But in this show, every scene is Wednesday. There’s an opportunity to give her a bit more dimension, and she becomes a bit more of a real person, which I don’t think we’ve ever seen before.”
I can’t wait to see what Ortega brings to the part because she is the actress to watch for her generation.
Back in 2002, Robert Rodriguez brought his 4-year-old son, Racer Max, to the set of Spy Kids 2: Island of Lost Dreams and took a photo.
Twenty years later, the director is still bringing his little boy to the set. However, this time, his son has a bigger role in the new Spy Kids movie. “Just wrapped a new SPYkids for Netflix, working with my son Racer Max,” the proud pop wrote. “First foto is from the set of SPYkids 2 in 2002. Not much has changed, only now he’s co-writer, co-producer, and a little heavier.”
Gotta love when the kid follows in his father’s footsteps, and the father wants everyone to know how happy he is about it.
If you are like me and have eagerly been awaiting a premiere date for the final season of the series that Netflix saved after NBC cancelled it, then I have some great news for you. The first half of it will debut on November 4th.
If that news isn’t satisfying you on this 8/28, here is some more about the passengers who were on Flight 828. “When you turn on the next episode, it’s two years later, and not only is Ben still deeply in the depths of depression and trauma over the loss of his wife but you’ll of course recall that that was only half the tragedy,” series creator Jeff Rake tells Tudum. “The other half was the kidnapping of his infant daughter and tragically, two years later, she’s still missing.”
And then there is Cal. He might look like an adult, but he is still a kid with no memory of how he is now all grown up.
I don’t know about you, but November 4th can’t come soon enough.
