They say April showers bring May flowers. If it happens to be a wet April this year Netflix has us covered. Big stars are rolling in this month on the streaming service. Idris Elba, Melissa McCarthy, Octavia Spencer and Anna Kendrick are just to name a few.
First up is Idris Elba who saddles up for Concrete Cowboy. The film premiered last year at Toronto Film Festival, since then Netflix acquired the movie. The following week, Thunder Force with Octavia Spencer and Melissa McCarthy team up as crime-fighting superheroes.
Towards the end of the month, Anna Kendrick, Daniel Dae Kim and Toni Collette star in Stowaway. The three have to deal with an unexpected passenger on a trip.
The end of the month wraps up with The Mitchells Vs. The Machines and animated film featuring the voices of Abbi Jacobson, Danny McBride and Maya Rudolph. A typical family goes on a road trip. What they don’t know is they will end up trying to save humanity from an insurrection of robots. Produced by Phil Lord and Chris Miller (Spider-Man: Into the Spider Verse, The Lego Movie)
Netflix is premiering quite a few TV shows this month starting with Shadow and Bone, based on Leigh Bardugo’s bestselling Grishaverse novels.

Mamma, Mimi, Michele, call out any one of those names and I will answer. There are several hats on my shelf. My passions are photography, being outside, movies, tv, pop culture and anything haunted or spooky. People are my other interest, I love meeting new people and socializing. When I lived in Savannah GA I worked as a tour guide both haunted and historical tours. I met people from all over the world, that was the best part of the job. All of this I can write about too, that’s the beauty of being a writer.
