Press Play: What’s hot on Netflix right now?
It’s Saturday, usually everyone’s favourite day of the week. What better way to spend it than watching some movies or TV shows? It doesn’t get much better than some chilling, snacking and bingeing.
Here’s what everyone’s watching on Netflix right now:
Shrek Forever After
This 2010 film is the fifth installment in the franchise, following Shrek (2001), Shrek 2 (2004), Shrek the Third (2007), and Shrek the Halls (2007).
This franchise follows Shrek, an ogre who lives in isolation from the rest of society. One day, Donkey bumps into Shrek as he’s being chased by guards. After Shrek scares them away, Donkey follows Shrek home. Just when Shrek thought he’s finally getting some peace and quiet, he’s mistaken. Fairy tale creatures invade his swamp after being exiled by the ruler, Lord Farquaad. That’s when he sets off on an adventure to reclaim his home and one thing leads to another.
After seeing the franchise added back to Netflix, I decided to rewatch it for old times’ sake and it never gets old.
If you’re looking for a great family movie, go ahead and rewatch the Shrek franchise!
Selling Sunset
Season 9 of Selling Sunset is out!
If you’re not familiar with this series, it’s a reality TV show following real estate agents at The Oppenheim Group. The show is all about drama, from their work to their personal lives.
Whether you’ve been following the series or just heard about it, it’s one of those shows you can watch in the background while you’re busy around the house.
Frankenstein
Frankenstein was released yesterday and has been a highly anticipated by fans, especially since fan favourite Jacob Elordi is playing the iconic monster. This role takes his acting career to a whole new level.
Guillermo del Toro is the writer-director of the film. He’s directed several others, including Pinocchio, Cabinet of Curiosities and The Shape of Water, which won Best Picture at the Oscars. Given his mastery of the “monster” theme, it’s no surprise he took on this project.
As You Stood By
A new Korean thriller limited series has made it to Netflix!
As You Stood By is directed by Lee Jeong-lim and stars Lee You-mi (you might recognize from Squid Game and Mr. Plankton), Jeon so-nee (Parasyte: The Grey) and Jang Seung-jo (The Good Detective).
The series follow Eun-su (played by Jeon so-nee), a housewife who survives years of abuse in her marriage. Eventually her best friend Hui-su (played by Lee You-mi) helps her break free.
