Planning a night in this weekend? There are loads of fun things to do around the UAE, but what if you’ve decided to sit in and snuggle up in front of the TV on the sofa?
Stumped for inspiration? Here are the top new movies to watch on Netflix this month.
Concrete Cowboy
No, this isn’t a follow up to Lil’ Nas X’s Old Town Road, it is Idris Elba taking the
reins in Philadelphia. Based on the novel Ghetto Cowboy by Greig Neri, Elba meets his 15-year-old estranged son, Cole, and begins to teach him the ways of being an urban cowboy. Elba on a horse? Is there anything this man can’t do?
Netflix release date: Streaming now
Stowaway
Who doesn’t love a good thriller that has nerves shredded and the pillow tassels frayed? We are aboard a spaceship on a two-year mission to Mars when the crew discover a stowaway on board. Unable to return to earth and resources running out, the space travellers wish to remove any dead weight which comprises the mission and their lives. We can already see our knuckles turning white.
Netflix release date: Thursday April 22.
Things Heard & Seen
Looking for something that will have you pulling the pillows over your eyes and maybe keeping the light on when it’s bed time? Have a gander at Things Heard & Seen. Adapted from Elizabeth Brundage’s 2016 novel All Things Cease To Appear, the plot sees Amanda Seyfried relocate to the Hudson Valley, but all is not as it seems as she begins to suspect her marriage to James Norton has a sinister darkness. We’re sensing sleepless nights.
Netflix release date: Monday April 29.
Thunder Force
Want the sides tickled? Check out Melissa McCarthy’s Thunder Force. The story follows scientist Emily Stanton, who has developed the process to give superpowers to ordinary people to fight super villains, but accidentally gives the power touch to estranged best friend Lydia. It’s high stakes hilarity as the team pair up to try to save Chicago from the clutches of evil mastermind, The King.
Netflix release date: Friday April 9.
