WATCH: Films coming to Netflix in 2021 The Meg (2018) Category: Action Sometimes only a dumb Jason Statham movie will hit the spot. And with The Meg you don’t just get The Stath at his snarliest, there’s also a prehistoric giant shark that pops up from the floor of the Pacific (obviously). Don’t watch it for scientific logic. Just enjoy the campy action. Definitely Maybe (2008) Category: Rom-Com A cast that would go on to big things (Ryan Reynolds, Rachel Weisz, Isla Fisher, Elizabeth Banks) lead this charming romance from the makers of Notting Hill. Reynolds plays Will, an ad man telling his young daughter all about his past loves - and it’s up to us to decide which of them might be her mum. It’s a long way from Deadpool but even back then Ryan had some serious charm. 28 Days (2000) Category: Drama Sandra Bullock really gives it some … [Read more...] about Netflix top pick movies to watch in February 2021: What Men Want, Joy and MORE

MORE: 24 shows to get excited about in 2021 Mean Girls (2004) Category: Comedy The classic teen pic hits Netflix still feeling as fresh as it did all those years ago. The reason? The sparkling script by Tina Fey (who also co-stars) is a big help, loosely based on a high-school self-help book and full of cheeky insight into the lives of everyday adolescents. But the cast is a treat too, led by an innocent-looking Lindsay Lohan but brilliantly supported by future big stars Amanda Seyfried and Rachel McAdams. So fetch ! MORE: Mean Girls: where are the cast now? Strip Down, Rise Up (2021) Category: Documentary An original Netflix films that celebrates women of all ages and backgrounds as they learn to celebrate their bodies through the art of pole-dancing. It’s a sensual past-time, yes, but it’s also great for mental and physical health - and that’s the eye-opening thing about this film. You’ll be ordering a pole for your lounge by the time the credits roll. Magic Mike (2012) Category: Drama The film that spawned a sequel and stage-show features a career-high turn from Channing Tatum as the hunky builder who alternates bricks and cement with Prosecco and whipped cream, working as a stripper. It’s not just about the pecs though. This is also a look at big dreams and showbiz nightmares, with Matthew McConaughey at his laconic best playing strip-club boss … [Read more...] about Netflix top pick movies to watch in February 2021: Mean Girls, The Dig and MORE

I want to go to there. Photo: Courtesy of Lionsgate Every week for the foreseeable future, Vulture will be selecting one film to watch as part of our Friday Night Movie Club . This week’s selection comes from Vulture writer Jackson McHenry, who will begin his screening of Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar on February 19 at 7 p.m. ET. Head to Vulture’s Twitter to catch his live commentary, and look ahead to next week’s movie here . In this long, cold, dark winter of 2021, I haven’t laughed harder, or more unexpectedly, than I did first watching Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar . Given the movie’s cagey trailers , I expected a tone more akin to the kind of Sundance comedies Kristen Wiig has made in the decades since Bridesmaids — softly funny, but muted. Needless to say, I was unprepared for the arrival, mere minutes into the movie, of Kristen Wiig playing a maniacal supervillain intent on killing everyone with mosquitos, or Jamie Dornan’s entire himbo secret-agent schtick , or the fact that the movie sets a scene where Dornan, Wiig, and Mumolo get wasted, dance, and then have a threesome to a club remix of “My Heart Will Go On.” Barb & Star is one of those movies that is purely dumb nonsense, in an intentional, hilarious way. As Bilge Ebiri put it in our review , it feels destined to be a cult classic from the moment of its release. It has a sense of humor that trades in relentless pastel colors and non sequiturs, as if Airplane! were written specifically about and for middle-aged white women, or as if Lonely Island was created specifically around the concept of breathable summer wear. Though really, it feels all indebted to the specific sensibilities of Wiig and Mumolo, who built out the script by riffing in character and eventually had to be told to cut down on the number of talking animals . It’s a niche tone; you dig it or you don’t. Among the Vulture staff, responses have been divided, but I cannot help … [Read more...] about Near, Far, I Can’t Stop Listening to

Jamie Dornan. Photo: George Pimentel/Getty Images for HUGO BOSS In the world of Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar , if you happen to be a suave secret-agent type who’s gotten into a fight with the woman you love, there’s only one reasonable way to express your feelings, and it’s by running back and forth across the beach belting a power ballad at seagulls. That’s just what Jamie Dornan does with admirable and absurd levels of commitment in the Kristen Wiig–Annie Mumolo comedy as Edgar Paget, the love interest of both women. He sprints. He twirls. He kicks his toes in the sand with fervor. He even tears apart his teal polo shirt in a fury, which “was embarrassing, because half the time, I couldn’t even rip it,” Dornan told Vulture. Dornan’s best known for his ultraserious, smolder-heavy roles in The Fall and Fifty Shades of Grey , but it turns out that he has quite a goofy side, which he embraces in this exceedingly goofy movie. In fact, if things turned out differently before those big breaks, he might’ve even ended up with a career doing comedy sketches instead, since one of his early attempts to make it in Los Angeles involved pitching comedy blogs. With Barb and Star out on VOD, Dornan caught up with Vulture to discuss polo-shirt rending techniques, the twist ending to Wild Mountain Thyme , and how he can sing “just as much as any douchey actor guy.” I need to start with Edgar’s big song, because it is so over the top and delightful. How much of it was in the script? Footloose .” Then I had a conversation with the director Josh Greenbaum two weeks before we went to Mexico to shoot it, and he just kept talking about this big musical number, and I was going, “What the fuck? I don’t remember anything about a musical number.” So then I had to go back through it, and those two lines had become this big thing. Kristen and Annie wrote the lyrics of it, and the closer I got to it, the bigger I realized the whole thing was. I was just like, … [Read more...] about Jamie Dornan Tore Several Shirts for His Big
