Netfiix’s Movie Highlights For January 2021
January sees the extended season of awards contention hit the Netflix platform early, as Pieces of a Woman makes its way to the streamer after its limited theatrical run. Seeing Vanessa Kirby and Shia LaBeouf playing a couple who navigate a personal tragedy, the movie has ridden a tide of critical raves from the festival circuit. But if you’re looking for a little android action-adventure instead, Netflix has you covered there as well. Early in this new year, Anthony Mackie gets to go bionic and kick some ass, in the film Outside The Wire. The Marvel Studios star playing an android with special skills, on a mission of utmost importance to the future of humanity and machine alike.
Netflix’s TV Highlights For January 2021
If you think Nicolas Cage and profanity go together like peanut butter and chocolate, you’re going to love one of Netflix’s latest offerings in his canon of work. The series History of Swear Words does exactly what it says on the tin, as it allows Mr. Cage to introduce the world to the origins of some of the words that have made his colorful performances all the more amazing. And if you’re looking for another reason to enjoy the big red streamer in January, the long awaited return of Cobra Kai sees the former YouTube Original fully become a Netflix newcomer.
But if you were one of the many viewers that jumped into the world of Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous and were left hanging by that promising cliffhanger, your wait is almost over. In the backend of the month, the next batch of episodes chronicling the adventures of the campers on Isla Nublar will be delivered to the masses hungry to keep their Jurassic fandom satisfied.
January 2021 looks like a promising debut for the year ahead, and Netflix subscribers can see why. But always keep in mind that titles are subject to change and availability, so make sure to check these listings in case something shifts from its intended point of debut. Happy holidays, readers; and be sure to stream responsibly during this time of celebration and binge watching!
