Sneak Preview 12 HOT Titles from Netflix for 2021!!

If you love watching films on Netflix, this 2021 film line-up sneak preview video will get you excited!

Netflix, once just a simple streaming site for previously produced film and television series, now leads the competitive edge as an international, corporate giant - not only in global distribution, but op-of-the-line feature film and episodic production.

Growing rapidly each year since Netflix’s inception back in 1997, online streaming eventually has become the popular global choice over Box Office and Cinema attendance. 

With the nasty Covid-19 preventative restrictions, curfews and lockdowns literally forcing the entire planet to stay home and login online, its no wonder Netflix has quickly grown to over 200 million paid subscribers worldwide and online streaming, as a source of content distribution, has become the household norm.

To please its audience this year, Netflix is releasing a fresh feature film every single week in 2021. This 2 minute, 45 second video “Sneak Preview” glimpses at more than 20 star-studded features coming out exclusively on Netflix this year. Plus, the video reveals what some of the world’s biggest stars love the most when THEY watch a movie!

Take a look at the preview video to catch a quick peek at all of them. The titles range from thrillers and action/adventures to westerns, super-heroes, comedy, family, romance, horror, animation and in some cases, a combination of all the above!

Not every film in the preview appealed to me, but I’ve gone ahead and listed the top 12 which stood out to me (in no particular order) as films being released by Netflix this year, DEFINITELY worth seeing!!

Male Sexiness in this Modern Age: What's a "Real Man" These Days, Anyway?

In the past few years, Hollywood has recast the male Adonis as slim, bookish, and emotionally available. Some men aren’t happy about it. Where does that leave you? On April 13, 2021, Mitchell S. Jackson of Esquire writes: "You might’ve noticed that Hollywood has been remaking, or at least diversifying, the attributes of male sex symbols and, you could argue, manhood itself right alongside them. Exemplars of this en vogue masculinity are less the musclebound, taciturn, and seldom-emotive men of yore but slim, bookish, sometimes awkward, and empathic types, some of whom are daring against gender boundaries: Timothée Chalamet, Harry Styles, Shawn Mendes, etc.  Let’s unpack a bit, shall we? The fact that Hollywood’s new standard-bearers of masculinity are young white men shouldn’t be no big old surprise. (Jaden Smith and Tyler, the Creator touted as equal paragons? Not so much.) This goes back to eighteenth-century art-history pioneer Johann Winckelmann, who extolled th

2021 Oscars - What to expect: 10 Nomination Predictions for Best Picture

With the beginning of every New Year comes much thought, speculation and anticipation about the year’s upcoming Academy Awards nominations. Expectations and forecasts spin around as film lovers around the world are curious which films will be in the running! Theatres and cinemas around the globe have been locked down for most of 2020 and beyond, so very few of the contending films actually had Box Office exposure, if any sort of theatrical release whatsoever. However, most of the predicted contending films have been, or soon will be, aired on streaming sites like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Disney Plus and some are even streaming for free on YouTube. Additional “predicted to be nominated” films, yet to be released, (Nomadland, Minari and The Father - all scheduled for release in February) may or may not hit the theatres and the accessibility to pre-watch these “predicted to be nominated” Best Pictures will certainly be different for audiences than in previous years. Also, with th
