'Shrek'

Love it or hate it, Shrek is now on Netflix. In our opinion, this is an amazing addition to the streamer’s library — but we understand that folks are against the film. To each their own! The 2001 classic follows a grumpy Ogre and a hilarious donkey as they go on a mission to rescue Fiona, the sleepy princess trapped in a tower with a dragon. Best served with: onions, waffles, cake, etc.

Jessica Alba is back, baby. The Fantastic Four star is coming out of her hiatus to helm Netflix’s latest action-adventure feature Trigger Warning. Alba stars as former Special Forces officer Parker, who investigates her father’s untimely death in the hometown she left behind. Everyone in the tiny town of Creation is a suspect, she learns. Trigger Warning also stars Mark Webber and Anthony Michael Hall. Decider’s John Serba praised Alba’s charismatic performance in the feature, writing, “This isn’t the beginning of Alba’s Oscar campaign, but it’s good to see her in fighting form, convincingly exercising a little toughness and emotion while carrying a slightly-better-than-average action picture.”

Meanwhile, a team of detectives begin to turn on each other while investigating the crimes. Is John Kramer back from the dead? Or is the new Jigsaw Killer in their midst?

'A Family Affair'

It’s the romcom pairing you never knew you needed. A Family Affair stars Zac Efron as an egotistical movie star who’s become disillusioned with fame when he meets Brooke (Nicole Kidman), who happens to be the mother of his 24-year-old personal assistant Zoey. This new Netflix romcom features several funny and memorable moments, especially with Efron’s remarkable performance, but it’s worth tuning in to watch these three very different characters find themselves, with each other’s help.
