Panic Room
A room that you can close off hermetically in case there are intruders in your house. Of course you hope you never need a room like that, but that is exactly what happens in Panic Room. This room, made up of steel and concrete, has an ingenious security system that protects you from intruders as well as allows you to keep an eye on your home via video screens. Single mother Meg (Jodie Foster) and her eleven-year-old daughter Sarah (Kirsten Steward) are forced to hide in the room until the room turns against them too and the situation reaches critical levels.
Bumblebee
When Bumblebee has to take refuge in a California junkyard in the 1980s, the situation doesn’t look too good for him. He is badly damaged and also has to keep a low profile. Fortunately, the teenager Charlie then appears in his life, who soon discovers that she is not dealing with an ordinary car but with something that is not of this earth. She manages to patch Bumblebee up little by little. And that appears to be necessary because Bumblebee’s existence is threatened and he can use all the help.

Seed of Chucky
Everyone’s favorite murderous doll is back. In Seed of Chucky we follow the crazy doll Chucky and his equally crazy bride Tiffany. They have decided that they would like a baby. But of course dolls cannot conceive (although they can apparently commit horrific murders) and so they have to come up with a plan to make a baby. That’s where the ugly, but good-natured, doll Glenn comes out. Who is initially convinced that he is an orphan. He is used as a ventriloquist’s dummy until he sees the movie ‘Childs Play’ on TV. The original Chucky movie. He decides to look for his parents.
No Strings Attached
No Strings Attached tells the classic dating story: husband and wife are both looking for pleasure, but without the burdens of a relationship. The lead roles are played by Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman. They are each other’s oldest and best friends and therefore a relationship does not seem to be in it. Then, however, they decide to make a deal that gives them both the merits, but not the burdens. Ultimately, this involves exactly the complications that you can expect in such a situation. And that of course leads to hilarious, romantic and emotional moments.

While he helps her get her music career off the ground, his own life threatens to collapse because of his alcohol and drug addiction.
Footloose
The remake of the ’80s classic Footloose appears on Netflix this month. In the village of Bomont it is also prohibited in this version to play loud music and to dance. The conservative village imposed this ban after a tragic accident. As a newcomer, the young Ren MacCormack has to get used to this and he can’t help but try to bring some new life to the brewery. Of course, that also helps when there is a romantic interest in the daughter of the strict minister.
