Netflix is always adding new movies and TV shows to their streaming platform, so here’s where we highlight several titles that have recently been added or will be added in the next month. Saturday, August 1st will bring a whole slew of new movies and television series, so scroll down to see an extended list below.
Hercules (2014)
A goofy mix of action and comedic interludes, Hercules (2014) may not tax your brain with plot twists or win you over with Oscar-worthy acting, but the film’s battle scenes will look great on your HDTV (streaming in Netflix’s “Super HD” format when bandwidth allows), and sound great on your audio system with 5-channel surround sound. In Hercules, Dwayne Johnson stars as the larger than life Greek demigod (adorned with lion’s head for much of the film), along with sidekicks Amphiaraus (Ian McShane) and Atalanta (Ingrid Bolsø Berdal). Available July 24.
The Hurt Locker (2008)
Some of us may still shake our heads when recalling how The Hurt Locker beat Avatar (and other worthy films) for “Best Motion Picture of the Year” in 2010, but it’s hard not to call The Hurt Locker a great film. Not only is it a great film, it’s free with a Netflix streaming subscription starting on August 1st. The Hurt Locker stars Jeremy Renner as a risky bomb expert in the Iraq War. The feature was directed by Kathryn Bigelow, and written by Mark Boal. Available August 1.
Doctor Who: Season 8
Season Eight of the BBC’s Doctor Who will be available to stream starting August 8. The season begins with “Episode 1: Deep Breath” in which the doctor finds a dinosaur loose in the Thames. Other memorable episodes include “Robot of Sherwood” in which Doctor Who forms an alliance with Robin Hood, and “Mummy on the Orient Express” named after the immortal creature that stalks passengers. The 12-episode season ends with “Episode 12: Death in Heaven” in which the Doctor confronts his biggest challenge. Available August 8.
Once Upon a Time: Season 4 (2014)
Season Four of ABC’s fantasy adventure Once Upon a Time will be available to stream on Netflix starting August 1st. The series, created by Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis, stars Ginnifer Goodwin, Jennifer Morrison, and Lana Parrilla. Once Upon a Time is rated TV-PG for parental guidance suggested. Available August 1. Available August 28
