5 Movies To Watch On Netflix Right Now!

YouTube

You have your snacks, blanket, and are snuggling up with your boo (or dog I don't judge) but you have no idea what to watch. Netflix is fantastic, but I do find myself often struggling with what to watch. Since you're already all snuggled up and ready to go, I compiled a short list of some of my recent favorites on Netflix. Go watch them before they get replaced!

1. Tallulah

Genre: Drama/Comedy

Cast: Ellen Page, Allison Janney, Tammy Blanchard, Evan Jonigkeit

Vagabond Tallulah "rescues" a baby from a rich irresponsible mother. She brings her to her boyfriend's mother who mistakes the child as their own. (Witty and sweet, has major indie vibes if you're into that.)

2. The Overnight

Genre: Mystery/Comedy

Cast: Adam Scott, Taylor Schilling, Jason Schwartzman,

A new couple moves to LA and meets eccentric friends that invite them for pizza and give them a night to remember. (This movie is SO weird, watch it with an open mind. It's a journey, you'll be exhausted after. Plus, Piper is in it.)

3. The Invitation

Genre: Horror/Drama

Cast: Logan Marshall-Green, Tammy Blanchard, Mike Doyle

A man gets invited to a dinner party by his ex wife and her new husband, and he's suspicious of their dinner intentions. (I always guess endings, BUT you will not see this one coming. Unnerving.)

4. Hush

Genre: Horror

Cast: Kate Siegel, John Gallagher

A young deaf author living alone in the woods navigates surviving the night when a crazed masked killer shows up at her window. (One of the best horror movies I've seen in a long time. The transitions from audio to nothing is perfect.)

5. American Beauty

Genre: Drama, Romance

Cast: Kevin Spacey, Wes Bentley, Mena Suvari, Allison Janney

An introspective look into the nuclear family you think you know. (An oldie but a goodie. It starts out slow, but the ending is crazy. If you figure out the rose petal symbolism, extra credit!)

BONUS

The Shallows

This one is not on Netflix yet, but you need to watch. Blake Lively is exceptional.

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

674288

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

StableDiffusion

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
