The Best New Things To Be Added To Netflix In August

The Get Down

Netflix take another trip into the past with The Get Down, about a group of Bronx-dwelling teenagers in the 1970s. Created by Baz Luhrmann (yes THAT dude), it's about the beginning of hip hop and the death of disco all whilst the kids struggle to survive.

Sicario

SO MUCH TENSION. Starring Emily Blunt as an FBI agent put on a mission to bring down one of the head of one of the most notorious Mexican drug cartels. Contains the most high octane traffic jam ever created.

Brooklyn

A thousand times yes to this film which is living proof that plots don't have to be over-amped, girls don't have to be underdressed and love stories don't have to be extraordinary to make a beautiful film. Saoirse Ronan for president.

The Lobster

Weird dystopian dark comedy film starring Reachel Weisz and Colin Farrell set in a world where poeople aren't allowed to be single. Single people are sent to a rehab-type place and given 45 days to find a new partner. Otherwise they're turned into animals. Which seems a bit extreme.

Step Up 5: All In

Because there's never been a bad Step Up film.

The Way We Were

'MEEEEMORIES. Like the corners of my miiiiind.' The Way We Were is the romantic drama that was basically The Notebook of your mum's teenager years. This is also the film that Carrie Bradshaw keeps babbbling on about when she keeps saying 'HUBBELL' and moaning about how Big won't marry her because she's to 'wild' and 'complicated'. Mate. 'Annoying' and 'neurotic' more like.

The Little Prince

Netflix's new original movie that's based on The Little Prince which was a book my parents bought me in French when I was little in the hope I'd learn French. As a result, I've still got NFI what the story is about. Something about a guy who lives on the moon. Better watch the film then.
