New Release Highlights
New Movies
New Movies – pictured The Big Lebowski, This is It, The Theory of Everything
Hot on the heels of the recently released “The Ballad of Buster Scruggs” by the Coen Brothers, Netflix has managed to get the streaming rights to one of the brothers best movies in their library. The Big Lebowski starring Jeff Bridges as The Dude, John Goodman and Steve Buscemi streams from December 1st.
Bohemian Rhapsody has been one of the best movies of 2018 but before it, This is It was one of the best musical biopics before it. It documents the life of the king of pop, Michael Jackson.
Speaking of biopics, we’re also getting The Theory of Everything starring Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones.
One of the final Marvel movies is also coming in December. Infinity War makes its debut on Netflix on Christmas day.
