\"netflix<\/p>\n

My family and I always try to jazz up the new \u201cnormal\u201d of life during a pandemic. One of the ways we stay entertained is by watching a new movie or series every night. Here is a list of my favorites (in no particular order) to help keep you entertained!<\/span><\/p>\n

Den of Thieves<\/h3>\n

I know I said this list isn\u2019t ranked in any particular order, but this movie is undoubtedly the best I\u2019ve seen all year. It\u2019s the kind of movie that you want to re-watch immediately after finishing it. It is marketed, and seems, like your typical action-packed bank heist drama, but if you don\u2019t watch closely you\u2019ll miss the mastermind of it all (it\u2019s okay, I missed it too).<\/p>\n

Waco
\n<\/b><\/h3>\n

This is technically not a movie because it\u2019s a docu-series, but I am including it in the list because this will have you absolutely shocked. It follows the downfall of a religious cult in Waco, TX. Watching it will make you feel conflicted in many ways, and I think that\u2019s what makes it so intriguing.<\/p>\n

Instant Family
\n<\/b><\/h3>\n

I LOVED this movie. It follows a couple who adopt three siblings and adjust to the complicated reality of their new life. It is a heartfelt film, but also extremely hilarious. It will make you laugh and cry and want to hug your family. It\u2019s a must-watch, feel-good movie.<\/p>\n

Double Jeopardy
\n<\/b><\/h3>\n

Double Jeopardy stars Ashley Judd, and we stan Ashley Judd in this household. This movie has lots of twists and turns and it\u2019s hard to guess how the storyline will finish. I won\u2019t give too much away, but it\u2019s all about a woman who gets accused of murdering her husband. Did she do it, or was it a set up? There\u2019s much more to the story than you can expect.<\/p>\n

Molly\u2019s Game
\n<\/b><\/h3>\n

This movie is phenomenal. I will be honest, it can be slow to the start but once you get into the action, you won\u2019t want it to end. It follows the at times unbelievably wild, yet real life of Molly Bloom who runs poker games for the most exclusive socialites in the country.<\/p>\n

Honorable Mentions<\/h2>\n

The Florida Project<\/b>
\n<\/b><\/h3>\n

If you love A24 films, this is one you need to watch next. It follows the life of a little girl named Moonee who lives an often heartbreaking life that is masked by her still young view of the world. It\u2019s beautiful and one of the most raw movies I have ever seen.<\/p>\n

The Silver Linings Playbook<\/b>
\n<\/b><\/h3>\n

Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence; that\u2019s really all you need to know. Romance, comedy, and real life stuff. Can\u2019t help but love it.<\/p>\n

The Lovebirds\u00a0<\/b>
\n<\/b><\/h3>\n

An action-packed comedy on Netflix! You will be laughing the entire time\u2014highly recommend it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
