The latest arrivals on Netflix
We have now turned puzzles, walking and sitting on the couch into a sport. Because Netflix tips are always welcome, here are a few recommendations for the month of February. Ideal for Saturday night movie night. Grab your blanket and don't forget the popcorn.
MALCOLM & MARIE
Do you have a weakness for 'movies about love'? Then this black and white film is right up your alley. Malcolm and Marie (John David Washington and Zendaya Coleman) return from a fun evening. Then some sensitive things come up. The mood changes from 'happy couple without worries' to 'can this relationship still be saved'?
SPACE SWEEPERS
Netflix is coming with its own movie and it should, in its own words, be a blockbuster. Space Sweepers is a Korean production and it is about a couple of space pirates who encounter a robot girl among the scraps of a space shuttle. Meanwhile, Earth is under attack by robots and the girl seems to play a key role in surviving in space. Is this movie a top or a flop? The judgment is yours.
