Unhinged did not get great reviews with critics but it has a strong audience score and praise for Russell Crowe's compulsively watchable villain. 

For the Sci-Fi Fan: 2067 (Hulu)
2067 is a breath of fresh air, with a new take on a post-apocalyptic scenario, strong acting from Kodi Smit-McPhee, and a well-paced story that concludes with a satisfying ending.  For more information, check out our review!

For An All-Star Cast Space Thriller: Stowaway (Netflix)
Stowaway's all-star cast, tense space situation, and sci-fi setup make for an exciting expedition, just one that could use a post-mission debriefing.  For more information, check out the review!  And after you watch it, check out my video review with my dramatic reading of an alternate ending!

For An Action-Filled John Wick-like: Nobody (Digital and Red Box On Demand)
Nobody is a middle class, family man John Wick, with high energy and varied action, a mysterious story, and an epic, final fightsravaganza.  For more information, check out the review!

For Those Missing Travel: Life in Color (Netflix)
It's David Attenborough doing a nature documentary.  You know you want to watch it, especially if you have been cooped up this last year and missing travel.  See amazing sights with excellent British narration!
