Tubi TV is a fascinating, free service full of cult oddities from around the world. It’s got a little bit of everything a movie fan could ever want. As such, on a recurring basis, we’re…

Read Part 1 of our Ultimate Streaming Bundle here. There is just such an abundance of streaming services to compare and know about that 20 wasn’t enough. Let’s dive even deeper with another setlist of…

The last time I was physically in a movie theater (for Impractical Jokers: The Movie), I saw The Lovebirds’ trailer. I thought it looked cute, and figured I’d see it once it came to streaming services.…

Here at MovieBabble, we like to watch movies, obviously. However, the Coronavirus has created a sudden drop off in the number of new movies for us to watch. But we will not be stopped, and…

As we roll further into quarantine, Netflix looks like more of a winner. Netflix stock is at its all-time high, and they’re the only studio consistently releasing new movies. For now, all is going right…

Have you ever noticed how every movie that has the word “rise” in the title is the worst movie in the trilogy? Well, Brennan and I have. Quarantine leads the mind to many an unusual…

With the box office at even further of a standstill, the streaming services reign supreme. As release dates as far as June are being pushed back, there isn’t much in the way of new “big…

When I was a teenage boy, like many of my peers, I was obsessed with coming-of-age films. In particular, I loved the high school party comedies like Superbad, American Pie, and Dazed and Confused. I…

The effects of COVID-19 increased tenfold over the last week in the United States, with closings, cancellations, suspensions, delays, and postponements coming form every direction. People are started to stay home, which is great for…

‘Tis the season for typical Christmas movies in which there is always a lead male and female that are destined to fall in love. Of course, before the happy ending can be achieved, something bad…

Since Netflix began pumping out original content every single week, there’s been a clear difference between their high-end properties such as Roma or the upcoming The Irishman and something such as Tall Girl or Sierra Burgess is a Loser. Putting…

From The Mind Of Stephen King… …is no guarantee of cinematic quality. For every Stand By Me or Misery, there’s a Pet Sematary or /shudders Maximum Overdrive. So where does this adaptation of King and Joe Hill’s In The…

In July, Netflix released Secret Obsession, the streaming service’s take on a Lifetime movie. It….did not go well. The cast was weak, the story was not engaging, and it missed the whole point of a good…

Praise the heavens! July was actually a solid month for film. With Quentin Tarantino debuting a new work and plenty of smaller releases which resulted in a wave of support from Film Twitter, one really…

Despite its availability on Netflix and a star-studded cast — including Terence Stamp, Gemma Arterton and Luke Evans — none of my distinguished MovieBabble colleagues wanted to review Murder Mystery. And who can blame them?…

The Perfection reportedly received rave reviews at its screening at Fantastic Fest and was described as being both “elegant” and “terrifying.” Such acclaims naturally piqued my interest. I hadn’t seen the trailer beforehand, and I…

Yes I am aware of the irony at play here, since I am refusing to give it a review, yet writing about the movie on the site gives it a platform. I am also aware…

One can’t but help but feel some kind of pity for The Silence. After the book of the same name hit shelves back in 2015, the film adaptation was immediately put into pre-production, with Stanley…

The streaming wars are in full swing as Disney and Apple prepare for the release of their own streaming services this fall. As such, each service is seemingly fighting for their lives, pulling in stars…

Although March was a big month for Disney blockbusters in both Captain Marvel and Dumbo, neither of those films will be discussed here…except for that mention just now. Instead, March 2019 was a month where…

When you come across a movie with a $2-$3 million budget in the United States, you would expect it to be something that A24 spits out that has actors you’ve never seen before in an…

Helen Mirren just followed a possible trend of hating on streaming services. After director Steven Spielberg said Netflix movies shouldn’t be allowed to compete for academy awards, the actress said to an audience at CinemaCon,…

It’s no secret that Netflix wants to dominate the streaming market on a global scale. Especially with Disney+ and Apple TV+ on the horizon, they’re in a bit of a scramble to capture as much…

Although Netflix will push the Bird Boxes and the Kissing Booths of the world until this Earth of ours hurdles into the sun, I admire their ability to find interesting foreign films and plop them…

There’s too many goddamn movies out there. My head spins just looking at all the movies getting a theatrical release every week, let alone the plethora of films going straight to streaming and VOD. I…

When watching a straight-to-Netflix movie that was never going to leave a theatrical imprint, where does one draw the line between holding high standards and simply allowing the film to wash over you as you…

Have you ever watched a movie and felt absolutely nothing about its characters or themes? Well that’s Juanita in a nutshell. Honestly, this reaction is bound to happen from time to time with the amount…

I’m started to get the sense that all of these “Worst Movies of” articles are shortening my lifespan as I have to revisit some of my more painful moments of the previous month and speak…

Seconds after finishing the trailer, I contacted the MovieBabble crew and requested to review Velvet Buzzsaw. It looked absolutely demented, and therefore perfect for the likes of me. It sold itself as a supernatural slasher…

I’m always up for action movie schlock. There’s simply just not enough of it these days. I’m also not talking about the PG-13 crap where there’s hardly any blood and nobody says any naughty words. I’m talking about…

Netflix had an incredible year in 2018 and is not wasting any time trying to continue that success in 2019. The streaming service already has a full lineup of films for release in the first…

A policewoman with anger management issues; a complicated and confusing romantic relationship; and tension between said policewoman and her superiors. If you’re into slow-moving films with all the elements of a good police thriller —…

Netflix is quietly putting together an array of hyper-violent, stunt-driven action films from around the world, and I’m so happy to see this happen. We live in a time where the standard action film is…

There’s been a slew of films about “old men seeking to relive their glory days” that it’s almost become a sub-genre in of itself. Sometimes this can lead into a meaningful piece of cinema (such…

There’s way too many companies creating way too many streaming services these days. It was inevitable; when businesses see the possibility of earning a ton of cash, they go all in. But for YouTube —…

I’m going to be honest with you: when I first saw the trailer for Outlaw King, I was full of nothing but doubts. My initial expectations surrounding the abilities of both Chris Pine and Aaron…

Part of the general movie conversation these days is the necessity of remakes. More specifically, if American versions of foreign films are worthwhile. Most of the time, it’s for a studio or a creative team…

Jeremy Saulnier has made a name for himself as a genre filmmaker with quality films such as Blue Ruin and Green Room among others, and he’s brought his talents to Netflix (of course) for his latest directorial effort Hold the…

Netflix added a new speculative fiction film to their prolific collection of original productions this past Friday. Starring Forest Whitaker, Theo James, and Kat Graham, How It Ends follows two men, Will (James) and Tom (Whitaker), as…

Truth be told, we haven’t seen much animation from Netflix in their glut of content that they’ve been releasing more of seemingly every single week. But with their new film White Fang, Netflix checks off a…
