Here's What's New on Netflix in November
by Andy NeuenschwanderAfter tonight, you're going to have a lot of candy to eat while you watch stuff on TV. Luckily, Netflix is adding some pretty great stuff in November!
The streaming service has already added "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" for those who want to get caught up before heading to theaters to see the newest installment in the franchise later this month. Also available now is "Django Unchained," which got some Oscar consideration and is another gruesome yet somehow fun offering from Quentin Tarantino.
If you're looking for some post-Halloween watching, the delightful "Addams Family Values" will be available November 1, along with "Bram Stoker's Dracula" and "The Haunting."
Those looking for comedies can catch "Airplane!" "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" and "Kingpin" this month. There's also a good slate of stand-up specials due out over the next few weeks, including ones from "Super High Me" comedian Doug Benson, "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" star Chelsea Perretti and "Community" star Donald Glover.
There's also some good and/or fun sci-fi coming out, with "The Core" and the original Schwarzenegger "Total Recall" hitting Netflix's library.
However, if sci-fi is your thing, I cannot recommend enough that you watch "Snowpiercer." The movie stars Chris Evans (you might know him as Captain America) as the leader of a class revolt happening in a post-apocalyptic future where the entire human race is kept on a perpetually moving train. It's one of the darkest, most disturbing movies you'll see, and it's terrifically tense throughout.
Honorable mentions:
"Nebraska" - Comes from the writer of "Sideways" and "The Descendants" and received some Oscar attention.
"La Bare" - From Joe Manganiello, you can consider this to be the documentary version of "Magic Mike."
"The One I Love" - About a couple who encounters a strange scenario on a weekend getaway to try to save their marriage. It's a mindf--k and it's pretty great.
"How to Steal a Million" - Audrey Hepburn plays the daughter of a man who forges art, and Peter O'Toole plays the thief she hires to steal it from a museum so her father doesn't get caught. It's cute, romantic, and a very underrated Hepburn film.
