Isn't John Wick 3 on Netflix the Christmas present we've all been waiting for? The third John Wick film entirely escaped my notice when it was released in theaters, which seems to be a common occurrence for me.

The Act, based on the awful true crime narrative of Gypsy-Rose and DeeDee Blanchard in the United States, has finally been assigned a UK release date.

A new documentary about dogs has been launched on Netflix! Or, as the movie's poster puts it, a dog-umentary. Puppies who have been trained to become assistance dogs, not just any canines.

Mindhunter is one of those shows that never fails to deliver. True-crime shows have never been a favorite of mine. You've already heard enough on the news. That changed with the arrival of Mindhunter. The film's photography is dreary, but it manages to draw you in. The plot is set on a constant upswing and downswing. Although there is very little on-screen violence, the program snuck up on me like nothing else, with a fantastic soundtrack to keep you on your toes.

You've most likely grown older in the recent year, but be ready to feel even older. Shrek has turned 20 years old. Yes, you read that correctly. In June of 2001, the beloved Ogre first appeared on our screens. 2001 was, believe it or not, 20 years ago. Wow.

It's December, which means it's officially time to start thinking about Christmas. The story of how the green creature tries to spoil Christmas for the residents of Whoville is well-known, but one hypothesis argues that the film may contain a darker undercurrent.

It's already being picked for Oscar triumph in 2020, thanks to a superb cast that includes old Scorsese favorites like Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, Al Pacino, and Harvey Keitel. However, if there is one slight complaint among Netflix viewers – and it is a minor one - it is the film's relatively long run time.

On Blu-ray and M, "Glass" is now available. Night Shyamalan's latest picture reunites Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson's characters from his 2000 film "Unbreakable," as well as introducing both of them to Kevin Wendell Crumb, played by James McAvoy, from "Split."

With one of these dependable holiday movies, you can't go wrong. Whether or not your tree is up, curl up on the couch and use one of them to block out the outer world for a bit.
