Red Notice

Red Notice is the number 1 most watched movie in Netflix history. In the first 28 days of it’s release, it amassed a whopping 328.8 million viewing hours. Beyond the mind boggling statistics, I can tell you that this movie will have you laughing from start to finish. Come on, Ryan Reynolds and The Rock in one film, what would you expect? 

Synopsis: An FBI profiler pursuing the world’s most wanted art thief becomes his reluctant partner-in-crime to catch an elusive crook. A crook who’s always one step ahead.

Cooking up Christmas

If you’re a hopeless romantic like me, this film will have you searching for “Somebody’s son or daughter”. And that’s after you pick up your jaws from the bombshell secret that is revealed in it. Love is good for Christmas!

Synopsis: An Atlanta-based chef gets fired just weeks before Christmas and reluctantly takes a job with a pro-baseball player. He is a single dad of three and needs a live-in-chef to get him through the holidays with the kids.

Cruella

When “The Devil Wears Prada” meets “The Intern”, with a touch of “House Of Gucci” and “Emily in Paris”. That’s what you get with Cruella.

Synopsis: Cruella is a 2021 American crime comedy film based on the character Cruella de Vil from Dodie Smith’s 1956 novel The Hundred and One Dalmatians. It tells the story of Estella, a young and clever grifter who’s determined to make a name for herself in the fashion world. She soon meets a pair of thieves who appreciate her appetite for mischief, and together they build a life for themselves on the streets of London. However, when Estella befriends fashion legend Baroness von Hellman, she embraces her wicked side to become the raucous and revenge-bent Cruella.

Starring: Emma Stone, Emma Thompson, Joel Fry, John McCrea

La Casa de Papel (Money Heist).

With the final installment of season 5 recently released on Netflix, you can watch the full season. However, if you’re yet to watch season 1, then Christmas presents the best opportunity to binge watch all action packed 5 seasons.
