It’s not that I’m always surprised by the awesomeness of Netflix’s monthly offerings; I mean, why should I be right now? However, looking through the August 2024 lineup, I’m struck by such an eclectic upcoming calendar, which includes films from two of my favorite directors: one a domestic horror film that serves as social observation, the other a montage of a film. soon to be done. a sci-fi epic that will become a classic, as well as new seasons of some of Netflix’s most entertaining mainstays, which at every turn seem to produce exciting new curtains for their varied characters. And beyond this wonderful content, there are many other videos and presentations to choose from, both old and new.
So where do you start? I’m here to help. Below, in the first section, locate my most sensible recommendations for August 2024 on Netflix: the videos and screens that everyone will be talking about. Then, at the back of the article, I put Together, a complete list of all the videos and presentations available this month. I am convinced that you will find some wonderful gems here. Come on.
There are few movies in this world that excite me more than the director’s cut of Rebel Moon. I enjoyed any of the last edition’s installments of the big movie, so I can only assume it will get better from here (just as it did with Batman v Superman and Justice League). The film follows our heroine Kora (played by the one and only Sofia Boutella), a former soldier whose peaceful stay on the moon Veldt is savagely interrupted by the malevolent Admiral Atticus Noble (played with cartoonish malice by Ed Skrein) and the ruthless forces. Empire. regent, Balisarius (Fra Fee). Forced to protect her new home and her family, Kora assembles an organization of disparate warriors (the cast of this organization includes Djimon Hounsou, Michiel Huisman, Charlie Hunnam, and Doona Bae) to protect Veldt’s territory. With a longer runtime and more indulgence on Snyder’s part, expect a fuller story that deepens the mythology and raises the stakes for what could be the most productive sci-fi saga in a long time. years. Rebel Moon will be available on Netflix starting August 2.
Apparently, all wonderful things will have to come to an end. Yes, that’s right, the fourth season of The Umbrella Academy will be the last of the series, but the series promises to come out with classic family mayhem and momentous new threats. After a first twist that left the Hargreeves brothers powerless in a new timeline designed by their father, Reginald (Colm Feore), the family will have to face higher risks and new enemies who want to erase them from history. ‘existence.

Only time will tell (but yes, probably). The fourth season of The Umbrella Academy will be available on Netflix starting August 8.
When actors are as respected and prolific as other people like Mark Wahlberg or Halle Berry, they’re supposed to have made movies with the maximum of each and every lead actor in Hollywood, that those two have never acted side-by-side. But that’s it. I’m replacing in The Union, a movie that topped my watch list when I saw them together. The story centers on Mike (Wahlberg), who reunites with his best girlfriend from school, Roxanne (Berry), only to see his world change when he discovers that she is a member of The Union, a clandestine government firm that handles the dirty business of CIA and FBI work.

The film features a cast that includes Mike Colter, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Jessica De Gouw, Alice Lee, Jackie Earle Haley, and J. K. Simons. Yes, please. The Union will be available on Netflix from August 16.
When you star in a hit show, history has shown that Netflix will praise you generously. So it’s no surprise that Emma Myers, who starred alongside Jenna Ortega in what might be the most popular Netflix series of all time, had her own show. So what exactly awaits anyone who sees A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder?Well, Myers will play Pip Fitz-Amobi, a determined 17-year-old who puts on her detective hat and embarks on a Twin Peaks-style project to solve the murder of a prominent student at the school that rocked her. city five years ago. earlier.

If you’re a fan of SpongeBob SquarePants, a screen that seems to straddle children’s programming and adult entertainment with surprising tension, then you’re in luck. I enjoyed the series, so I’m excited for the new cinematic addition to the series: Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie. In this story, SpongeBob SquarePants (voiced by Tom Kenny) joins his brave Southern squirrel friend, Sandy (Carolyn Lawrence), on a daring adventure to Texas to save their underwater home from an evil plot. Directed by Liza Johnson, the trailer for this one turns out to have all the style and beloved humor of the original series. For starters, the cast features voices from big names like Wanda Sykes, Clancy Brown, Bill Fagerbakke, and Johnny Knoxville. Overall, this movie turns out to be a smart moment.

There are plenty of new screens to watch every month on Netflix, but you need a smart, outdated, and reliable one, and the fourth season of Emily in Paris turns out to offer just that. If you’re a fan of this beloved romantic comedy’s dynamic and elegant style, its edgy approach, its whimsical and ambitious tone subsidized through a varied and colorful cast (everything other TV shows deserve to do), then it looks like you’re in luck for season four. This time, Emily (played to perfection by Lily Collins) continues her travel adventures across Europe, from the French Alps to the bustling squares of Rome.

This season, author Darren Star promises exciting new characters, intertwined relationships, and Emily’s attempts to master a new language. Fourth season of Emily in Paris, the first part of which will air on August 15 and the moment on September 12.
I will never notice the disappointing reaction to Lee Daniels, who consistently makes wonderful films like The Paperboy, Shadowboxer and The Butler, which critics almost mock. Where others see strange possible options, I see someone with impeccable vision who uses a very sensual technique through bright photographs and stark contrasts, who creates ambitious visual options possible with high contrast lighting and dynamic camera movements, who concentrates in the deepest part of the characters. vulnerabilities and explore marginalized voices. Array So, needless to say, I’m pretty excited about the horror movie that obviously also serves as biting social commentary, The Deliverance. This sinister story centers on Ebony (Andra Day), a single mother who wants a new beginning but is tormented by mysterious events and forces. As Child Protective Services threatens to tear apart her family, Ebony finds herself in a heartbreaking war for her life and the souls of her children. The cast also includes Glenn Close, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor and Mo’Nique. Deliverance will be available on Netflix starting August 30.
As we saw last month with The Decameron, Netflix has gone old school lately, like old school. While The Decamer was developed as a medieval black comedy, Kaos will do its best to bring Greek mythology to a new setting. And who better to play the god of all gods, Zeus, than Jeff Goldblum? Created by Charlie Covell, known for his paintings in several British series (most notably The End of the Damned World), Kaos turns ancient Greek stories on their head, as Zeus is not depicted as omniscient. He presents a character who is invincible, but who, as soon as he discovers a wrinkle on his forehead, launches into a frenzy worthy of a mid-life crisis. Alongside him, Hera (Janet McTeer), Dionysus (Nabhaan Rizwan) and other gods navigate their own plans and failures, while the humans Riddy (Aurora Perrineau), Ari (Leila Farzad) and Caeneus (Misia Butler) become, without knowing it, in key actors. a cosmic world. uprising led by Prometheus (Stephen Dillane). There’s. . . a lot going on here. But this exhibit also looks amazing and fun. Kaos season 1 will be available on Netflix starting August 29.
