This article contains mild spoilers for "Deadpool & Wolverine."

When the trailers first dropped for "Deadpool & Wolverine," one of the biggest box office hits of 2024, fans were immediately consumed with trying to figure out which of their favorite superheroes was going to pop up with cameos. Audiences already knew that Jennifer Garner would be reprising her role as Elektra, but who would join her? Just when it seemed as if the fancasting predictions had finally hit their peak, a second "Deadpool & Wolverine" trailer hit the timelines. With only a week until the film arrived in theaters, Marvel drummed up even more hype for the long-awaited team-up of Wade Wilson and Logan with the reveal of what appeared to be a mysterious Deadpool variant, Lady Deadpool.

Lady Deadpool is the main female variant of Deadpool from the alternate timeline Earth-3010. The trailer (and subsequent movie) showed her in a Deadpool suit with a long,...

Locked In Movie Review ( Photo Credit – IMDb )

What’s Good: The film’s initial allure is undeniably captivating, immersing audiences in a gothic melodrama enriched by Nour Wazzi’s direction and the opulent setting. The clever twist of Katherine’s locked-in syndrome adds a unique layer to the mystery, initially promising an engaging plot.

What’s Bad: As the story progresses, “Locked In” disappoints with a lackluster execution of its promising elements. The detective game loses its charm, giving way to a predictably stretched conclusion. Famke Janssen’s performance, though promising, falls short under Rowan Joffe’s direction. The film’s reliance on a frustrating trope and a limited cast further hampers its impact.

Loo Break: Feel free to take a break during the prolonged flashbacks and contemplative scenes. You...

Audiences were eagerly awaiting the final season of The Crown.

Part 1 of Season 6 debuted on November 16, quickly racking up 11.1M views in its first few days on Netflix. That was enough to boost it to No. 1 on the English-language TV charts for the week of November 13 to 19. According to Netflix, the new episodes were No. 1 in 44 countries and among the Top 10 in 85.

The final episodes are set to debut on December 14, meaning that The Crown is likely to appear in the Top 10 through the end of the year.

In second place last week was Matt Rife’s new stand-up special, Natural Selection. The special managed 7.4M views in its debut week. That was followed by All The Light We Cannot See, which was down from first place the week prior, with an additional 5.7M views. Netflix says the World War II limited series reached the Top 10 in 93 countries.

The TV...

What happens when you combine a leading actor with two Oscar nominations, a director with four Oscar nods of his own, and a streaming debut following a very brief theatrical release? That killer combination makes for a big hit, which is what Netflix had this week with “The Killer,” starring Michael Fassbender and directed by David Fincher.

The action thriller tops the streaming chart in the Samba TV Weekly Wrap Report for the week of Nov. 6 to 12. Viewership among diverse audiences was strong, with Black households over-indexing by 6% and Hispanic households over-indexing by 5%.

In second this week is “All The Light We Cannot See,” Netflix’s limited series based on the popular novel. The series launched on Nov. 2, and the extra week of viewership helped propel the World War II drama up two spots from where it sat last week.

While Netflix has seven of the top 10 streaming spots this week,...

All The Light We Cannot See notched another week atop Netflix’s English-language TV charts, with viewership for the limited series continuing to climb.

The World War II story based on Anthony Doerr’s novel managed 10.1M views from November 6 to 12, up from the 9.8M it racked up in the week it debuted. This is quite a showing for All The Light, and it’s by far the most viewing for any series this week.

But, as of now it still has a long way to go before it could reach the streamer’s most popular list. Queen Charlotte is currently at No. 10 on that list with just over 80M views in its first 91 days.

Selling Sunset Season 7 soared up the list to second place (from No. 8 last week). The latest installment of the reality series nearly doubled its weekly audience with 4.7M views.

New to the list was Blue Eye Samurai,...

As expected, Netflix had a quick hit on its hands this weekend: David Fincher’s “The Killer” was an immediate #1 on the streamer. Credit the genre and star Michael Fassbender for giving it a boost that even top directors like Fincher don’t always guarantee.

After all, even Fincher’s first Netflix film, “Mank,” wasn’t a hit. His second offering for the streamer is immediately doing far better than his 2019 black-and-white biopic. Despite good reviews — and eventual Oscar nominations — “Mank” made Netflix’s top 10 for just one day and it only ranked at #10.

As for “The Killer,” its action appeal, a lead actor not known for streaming originals, and elevated festival attention all seem to have contributed to its immediate ascension to #1. It replaced “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,” with Sony’s big summer hit still #2.

Netflix originals only took one other place the chart: “Locked In,” a London-set thriller...

Not to sound like a stereotype, but I don't particularly get along with my mother-in-law. But the situation in the latest Netflix thriller, "Locked Up," is a great reminder that things could always be much, much worse. Despite little fanfare upon release and next to no promotion tied to it, "Locked In" has been consistently holding it down on the streamer's Top 10 list since it arrived on November 1. If you've not heard of the film, here's the official synopsis:

Katherine, a former Hollywood actor, wakes up in the hospital unable to move. She's been hit by a car and suffers from locked-in syndrome — her eyes are the only thing she's able to move. Through her nurse, Nicky, we find out what's led to Katherine's hospitalization. Katherine, communicating with her via letter board, blinks when Nicky reads the correct letter: She claims there's been a murder. Through flashbacks, we see snapshots...

The shelved Coyote vs Acme film may see the light of day after all. Amid industry outcry that WB was shelving yet another film, the studio has begun screening the movie for streaming services. Deadline reports that Prime Video seems to be the frontrunner as far as acquiring the movie goes. The shelving of the completed film has spurred lots of anger within the industry, as unlike the previously shelved Batgirl or Scoob’s Holiday Haunt, Coyote Vs Acme was complete and scheduled for a theatrical release.

Not only that, but reports suggest that the film was testing very well, with composer Steven Price roasting the company on Twitter for their “bizarre anti-art studio shenanigans.”

French action-comedy “Wingwomen,” which premiered on Nov. 1, flew to the top of the Netflix Top 10 chart during the Oct. 30-Nov. 5 viewing window with 18.5 million views, making it the week’s most-viewed title and No. 1 on the Non-English Films list after five days of availability on the streamer. After also making its debut on Nov. 1, UK crime thriller, “Locked In,” followed closely behind as the second most-viewed title this week with 17.8 million views. Thus, taking down Bill Burr’s “Old Dads” for the top spot on the English Film chart.

The comedy moved to fifth place on the chart with 5 million views — a drop from the previous week’s recorded 16.3 million views. “Old Dads” originally opened to 13.3 million views.

Meanwhile, on the English-Language TV chart, Shawn Levy’s “All the Light We Cannot See” cracked the chart following its Nov. 2 premiere date with 9.8 million views, pushing it to No. 1 on the list.

French action comedy “Wingwomen” took home the title of most-watched Netflix program of the week with 18.5 million views, beating out the buzzy wartime limited series “All the Light We Cannot See.”

During the week of Oct. 30 to Nov. 5, Shawn Levy’s “All the Light We Cannot See” recorded 9.8 million views in the U.S., marking this week’s most-watched English TV series, and reached the Top 10 English TV list in 82 countries.

Limited series “Till Murder Do Us Part: Soering vs. Haysom” similarly debuted as the second most-watched English series this week with 4.7 million views, before U.K. mystery series “Bodies” took third place on the list and Morgan Freeman-narrated nature series “Life on Our Planet” took fourth place with 4.3 million views. Whereas Mike Flanagan’s “The Fall of the House of Usher” and docuseries “Beckham” dominated the list in October, the series came in seventh and ninth place with 2.8 million views and 2.7 million views,...

The Netflix TV Top 10 was shaken up last week due to a few new offerings.

All The Light We Cannot See debuted on November 2, debuting at No. 1 on the English-language TV charts.

The World War II limited series based on Anthony Doerr’s novel tallied 9.8M viewing minutes and reached the Top 10 in 82 countries during the interval from October 30 to November 5. It took the top spot from Bodies (UK), which was nowhere to be found on the list this week.

In second place was Till Murder Do Us Part: Soering vs. Haysom with 4.7M views. Bodies (UK), which was on top of the TV charts last week was relegated to third place during this window. Life on Our Planet, narrated by Morgan Freeman, landed in fourth place (down from third the week prior).

Elsewhere on the list, The Fall of the House of Usher lived to see another week with...

Five recent releases debuted on different VOD charts this past week, and for the second week in a row, three different films took #1 among the three we follow. Two of these took #1 slots, with “Sound of Freedom” (Angel) atop Vudu and #2 at iTunes, while “Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie” (Paramount) reversing those positions at those two sites.

Google Play, which often lags behind the others seems particularly slow this week, with “The Equalizer 3” (Sony) still #1 even though it doesn’t make the top five at the other two. And “Paw Patrol” ranks only fourth, with “Sound of Freedom” seventh.

Netflix is back in Sony streamer mode, with “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” #1 and “Insidious: The Red Door” #2 (both new this week). But two recent festival-premiered originals took the two new spots. “Sly” (Stallone of course), a documentary, and “Nyad,” about the pioneering swimmer Diane Nyad with Annette Bening, are third and fourth respectively there.

Netflix is nothing if not a goldmine of content, with basically something to watch for everyone, and today we are making a list of the best new movies coming to Netflix in November 2023 that you can watch in the upcoming month. The movies in this list are ranked according to their availability dates.

Locked In (November 1)

Synopsis: A romantic crime thriller pitting unhappy newlywed Lina against her rich, coldhearted mother-in-law Katherine. An affair sets off a chain reaction that will result in a love triangle, a murder and plot to bring Lina down. But who is the real victim and who can Lina trust?

Wingwomen (November 1)

Synopsis: Voleuses ,is the new film of Mélanie Laurent with Adèle Exarchopoulos, Mélanie Laurent, Manon Bresch, Philippe Katerine, Felix Moati and Isabelle Adjani in the role of Marraine.

The Social Network (November 1)

Synopsis: David Fincher’s The Social Network is the stunning tale of...

The latest feature from David Fincher, a big-budget drama series from Steven Knight and Shawn Levy, and an Oscar hopeful starring Annette Bening and Jodie Foster are among the standout new additions hitting Netflix in November.

With The Killer, Fincher reteams with Seven writer Andrew Kevin Walker to adapt the graphic novel written by Alexis Nolent. The film, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival this year and debuts on Netflix on Nov. 10, stars Michael Fassbender as a shadowy unnamed assassin and features a cast that includes Arliss Howard, Charles Parnell, Gabriel Polanco, Kerry O’Malley, Emiliano Pernía, Sala Baker, Sophie Charlotte and Tilda Swinton.

The Hollywood Reporter‘s review of The Killer described the film as “a satisfyingly retro, location-hopping genre exercise with fisticuffs, gadgets (albeit ones bought from Amazon) and smooth-talking antagonists that all plays like a tongue-in-cheek spoof of James Bond movies.”

All the Light We Cannot See...

Locked In is a mystery thriller film directed by Alex Baranowski, from a screenplay by Rowan Joffé. The Netflix film revolves around Lina, an unhappy newlywed woman who has a hostile relationship with her mother-in-law Katherine. An affair starts a chain reaction that ends up in betrayal and murder. Locked In stars Famke Janssen, Rose Williams, Anna Friel, Finn Cole, and Alex Hassell. So, if you loved the Netflix film here are some similar movies you could watch next.

Gone Girl (Max & Prime Video Add-On) Credit – 20th Century Fox

Synopsis: Gone Girl, directed by David Fincher and based upon the global bestseller by Gillian Flynn, unearths the secrets at the heart of a modern marriage. On the occasion of his fifth wedding anniversary, Nick Dunne (Ben Affleck) reports that his beautiful wife, Amy (Rosamund Pike), has gone missing. Under pressure from the police and a growing media frenzy, Nick’s...

Famke Janssen plays an ex-Hollywood star in this forgettable gothic mystery that could have flown its freak flag a little higher

Crashing rain, a remote countryside mansion, illicit sex, a British-accented Famke Janssen holding a shotgun while riding a horse – one might easily assume that the lurid Netflix thriller Locked In is a four-wines-in blast. At times it threatens to be, usually when at least two of those aforementioned elements are in play, but it’s all tease and no payoff, the heightened silliness of the first act wearing wafer-thin by the last, charmingly farfetched turning into an annoyingly far reach.

Written by Rowan Joffe, whose adaptation of Sj Watson’s enjoyably nutty thriller Before I Go to Sleep handled a similar balance far more effectively, Locked In also feels as if it’s based on an airport-bought page-turner. There are flashbacks, a potentially unreliable narrator, shifting perspectives, a hidden...

Netflix’s slate for November 2023 has much to offer as the transition from Halloween to Thanksgiving and eventually Christmas begins. Many favorite movies such as Jennifer Garner’s “13 Going on 30” and “The Big Lebowski” arrive Nov. 1, while Garner’s new movie “The Family Switch” rounds out the month when it arrives on the streamer Nov. 30. Other can’t-miss film arrivals on November first include “Whiplash,” “Sixteen Candles,” “The Social Network” and “Pitch Perfect.”

Several new seasons of Netflix shows arrive this month as well, the most highly anticipated of which might be “The Crown” Season 6 Part 1. The first half of the final season of the royal drama series arrives Nov. 16. The limited series adaptation of “All the Light We Cannot See” by Shawn Levy and Steven Knight launches November 2. Levy directed all four episodes of the epic drama series, adapted from the Pulitzer prize-winning novel by Anthony Doerr.

Directed by Nour Wazzi, the Netflix thriller Locked In has just been released, starring Finn Cole, Rose Williams, and Famke Janssen in the lead. The trailer set high expectations for the film, but unfortunately, it fails to be anything other than haphazard storytelling with some mediocre suspense. Locked In follows the conflicting relationship between Katherine and her adoptive daughter Lina, who later became her daughter-in-law. Lina, who felt stuck in her marriage, found solace in an extramarital affair, but the narrative took a dark turn when she came to know the real intentions of those around her. Let’s see how Lina navigates through such a treacherous situation and saves herself.

Tim Robbins is the kind of actor who really wants to inhabit his characters’ lives, and he’s not afraid to suffer for his art. When it came to playing a murderer serving a life sentence in The Shawshank Redemption, he tried to learn more about the role the hard way — by doing some hard time himself. In fact, as he told us at the time the movie opened, Robbins practically begged to be thrown in prison and put into solitary confinement — a request that, fortunately or unfortunately, was denied.
