3 Best Movies To Watch On Netflix This Week (Jan 26-30)

As a huge movie and TV fan, I have to say Netflix has become my go-to for pretty much everything I want to watch – they seriously have a ton of stuff! And their original shows and movies? They’ve really changed the game for streaming. Honestly, with so much to choose from, it can be overwhelming! But thankfully, a few movies really rise to the top and make it easier to decide what to watch.

’28 Years Later: The Bone Temple’s Continues to Stumble at the Box Office

The latest movie in the planned 28 Years Later series has seen a significant drop in ticket sales, falling 71% over the past two weekends and earning only $635,000 last week. So far, The Bone Temple has made $20 million in the US and $25 million worldwide, but it cost $63 million to produce. Despite hopes that good reviews would help the movie gain momentum, it hasn’t performed well and appears to be failing, much like the characters trying to escape a zombie outbreak.

Worldbreaker Review: A Visually Arresting Dystopia That Never Fully Takes Shape

Directed by Brad Anderson, known for his work on The Machinist, and written by Joshua Rollins, Worldbreaker doesn’t quite live up to its potential. While Luke Evans and Milla Jovovich deliver strong performances, the film is held back by a surprisingly simple script that fails to fully explore its interesting sci-fi ideas. It’s not a matter of budget, but rather a lack of depth in the storytelling, leaving the movie short of its ambitious goals.

Island Review: A Film That Nudges at the Quiet Trap of Complacent Solitude

The German film, Islands, explores the idea that escaping into comfort and avoiding challenges can eventually become stifling. While not actively bad, the film suggests that peace loses its appeal once it no longer helps us avoid life’s problems. However, it’s unclear why director Jan-Ole Gerster chose to tell this story as a lengthy, slow-paced drama. Islands feels more like an extended pause than a compelling journey. It’s watchable and sometimes engaging, but rarely creates a sense of urgency. Throughout the film, it feels like the director introduces ideas without fully exploring them.

Kurt Russell Stole the Show in Sky High

I remember seeing Sky High when it came out 21 years ago, and looking back, I think it was really ahead of its time. It offered a fresh take on superheroes before the whole genre was dominated by Marvel and DC. It was a big part of my childhood, and honestly, I don’t think it gets the recognition it deserves for being such a fun and exciting movie. And you know what? There was one superhero in particular who totally stole the show, even though they didn’t have a huge role!

Apple TV’s Neuromancer: The Perfect Severance Replacement?
