Netflix Germany has been on a tear recently with a string of hits in the latter half of 2022 and that trend continues today with the release of All Quiet on the Western Front, the new remake of a classic movie and based on a timeless novel.
Listed as certified fresh on RottenTomatoes, critics concluded that “All Quiet on the Western Front retains the power of its classic source material by focusing on the futility of war.”

Genre: Animation, Adventure, Comedy
Director: Henry Selick

It’s been well over a decade since Henry Selick last bought us a stop-motion movie in the form of Coraline, and we’re happy to report he’s back and better than ever.
Here’s the rundown on what you can expect from the new movie:
“Two scheming demons strike a deal with a punk rock-loving teen so they can leave the Underworld and live out their dreams in the Land of the Living.”
In our review of the movie, Andrew Morgan praised the soundtrack, and the message, concluding that “While not to the heights of Selick’s notable works, Wendell & Wild plays enough of the notes that make Selick & Peele near the top of their fields.”
Rating: TV-MA
Language: English
Genre: Action, Adventure, Drama
Cast: Jay Lycurgo, Nadia Parkes, Emilien Vekemans, Paul Ready, Isobel Jesper Jones, Karen Connell
Seemingly coming out of nowhere is this new British action fantasy series about the son of a witch finding himself caught between two warring factions.
The series earned a 4-star rating out of 5 from The Guardian which said, “gory deaths have rarely looked so beautiful,” adding, “its wickedness delivers on the promise of its name.
