**Love**: Season 3
**Rotten Tomatoes Score:** 93%
This Judd Apatow-helmed romantic dramedy series follows Mickey (Gillian Jacobs) and Gus (Paul Rust) as they navigate all the ups, downs, and in-betweens of being in a relationship. Some of it might hit a little too close to home, but that's what makes it so good - *Love* feels undeniably authentic through and through.

Anna Kendrick and George Clooney in UP IN THE AIR. — **Up in the Air**
**Rotten Tomatoes Score:** 91%
George Clooney stars in this unique dramedy as Ryan Bingham, a man who largely lives out of his suitcase as he travels around the country for work. When he encounters a new love interest (Vera Farmiga) and an eager new hire (Anna Kendrick), however, he's forced to reexamine his way of life. *Pitch Perfect*'s Kendrick saw her career breakthrough in this flick from Jason Reitman, and watching her hold her own opposite Clooney is a joy.

Based on Louisa May Alcott's classic autobiographical novel of the same name, this moving drama follows the four March sisters during Civil War America and after as they all lead their respective lives.

**Moon**
**Rotten Tomatoes Score:** 89%
After the release of platform original *Mute* earlier this year, it seems like Netflix wants to get closer to Duncan Jones, so it's only right that they make his gorgeous film *Moon* available for our streaming pleasure. Academy Award-nominee Sam Rockwell stars as astronaut Sam Bell, who has spent nearly 3 years harvesting clean fuel to send back to Earth. With just a few weeks left of his contract, something goes terribly wrong. A stunning exploration of the nature of loneliness and the expansiveness of the universe, Moon is a must-see.

When recent college grad James (Eisenberg) has his European travel plans fall through due to financial issues, he decides to take a job at a run-down amusement park for the summer, and falls into a relationship with Emily (Stewart). Armed with all the ups and downs of being young and (maybe) in love, this is a teen comedy for the ages.

**The Descent**
**Rotten Tomatoes Score:** 85%
In typical horror flick fashion, *The Descent* begins with a vacation meant to serve as a carefree escape for someone with a dark past. As expected, things do not go as planned, and hell ensues when a woman and her friends become trapped in a cave after hiking and hunted by the terrifying, bloodthirsty creatures who reside there.

**Marvel's Jessica Jones**: Season 2
**Rotten Tomatoes Score:** 83%
Your favorite hard-drinking (reluctant) superhero is back, and she's taking no prisoners. Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter) may have defeated the ultimate villain in Season 1, but this time around, she's digging deep into her past to discover the truth about why she is the way she is. With the help of best friend Trish (Rachael Taylor) and a few other familiar faces, Jessica will keep kicking ass her way - whether it works or not.

**Casino**
**Rotten Tomatoes Score:** 80%
This epic 1995 crime film directed by Martin Scorsese may span some 3 hours, but it's so engrossing you'll barely realize the time has passed. Starring Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, and Sharon Stone, the flick tells the tale of a mafia enforcer and a casino executive who are best friends - and wind up competing against each other for a gambling empire. This can only lead to higher stakes and greater danger, pushing the best friends to places they never thought they'd be.
