The Best TV Shows and Movies Coming to Netflix in May 2018
Disney and Pixar’s latest recipe for weeping arrives on Netflix next month.Cocois the story of young Miguel, whoreallywants to be a famous musician. Unfortunately, his entire family has a strict ban on music. What’s a boy to do butescape off into the afterlife and hang out with some skeletons? I won’t say thatCocois one of Pixar’s best films, but, like most of their offerings, it has a ton of heart. It’s also gorgeous to look at it, filled with vibrant colors and incredible world building. And yes, you will definitely cry at the end.
Only God Forgives
WhenNicolas Winding Refnfollowed-up the popular filmDrivewithOnly God Forgives, people were a bit confused.Driveis probably Refn’s most mainstream movie, and when audiences saw he was reuniting withRyan Goslingagain, they were perhaps expectingDrive Part 2. What they got instead is a weird, brutal, existential movie loaded with oedipal issues. Gosling plays a drug trafficker dealing with the fallout of the death of his brother in Thailand. Things get complicated with Gosling’s vicious mother (Kristin Scott Thomas, who isincrediblehere) shows up and sends him into a tailspin.Only God Forgivesis definitely an acquired taste, and I understand why so many people didn’t care for it. But I think it’s a fascinating, unflinching film that deserves to be revisited.
Hellboy II: The Golden Army
Guillermo del Torofollowed-upHellboywith the superiorHellboy II: The Golden Army, and we should all be thankful for it. While the firstHellboyhas its moments, one gets the sense that the studio kept giving del Toro notes to make it more accessible. There’s none of that inHellboy II, which is bigger, weirder and more visually stunning than the first film.Ron Perlmanis back demon superhero Hellboy, who this time has to battle an evil elf and all sorts of mythological mayhem.Hellboyis getting a reboot soon, and while it might turn out well, it’s doubtful any reboot will be able to compare to what del Toro did with this sequel.
The Bourne Ultimatum
The originalBournetrilogy –The Bourne Identity,The Bourne SupremacyandThe Bourne Ultimatum– is hard to beat (let’s just ignore the other movies, shall we?).Ultimatumreally,reallyshould’ve been the last movie in the series, because it concludes the arc that started inThe Bourne Identityso well.Matt Damonis back once again as killing machine Jason Bourne, who runs around beating the hell out of anyone who gets in his way. InUltimatum, Bourne learns more about his mysterious past, and has to contend with the evilDavid Strathairn. Cue the Moby music.
Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s very charming, very stylishAméliemay not seem as good as it did when it arrived in 2001, but there’s still a lot to love here. Audrey Tautou plays a young woman who constantly interferres with the lives of other around her – to the point where it getskind ofcreepy (although Jeunet is going for whimsical). The story is secondary, really. What makesAmélietruly memorable is the often gorgeous visual Jeunet brings to the screen, along with Tautou’s irresistible performance.May 1
