Judging by the streaming service's newly released list of arrivals, Netflix is bringing the fireworks this July. And also the furries.
More about that, uh, unique situation later. First, let's dive into the Big Red Streaming Monolith's lineup of new movies and TV shows for July, because it's a genuinely impressive haul. There are crowd-pleasing action blockbusters ("Air Force One," "Terminator 2"), comedy classics ("Love Actually," "Talladega Nights," the Austin Powers trilogy), gems both Oscar-nominated ("Boogie Nights," "Django Unchained") and overlooked ("Snowpiercer"), and a modern horror marvel with "The Strangers." Looking to kick back and relax this upcoming month? Check out the "Kung Fu Panda" and "Karate Kid" trilogies.
There's even a new batch of "Supermarket Sweep" episodes because somebody at Netflix must know it's my birthday. And because somebody else at Netflix must hate me, there's also the "Twilight" series. You win some, you lose some.
We haven't even looked at the Netflix originals for July, a star-studded bunch perfect for the star-spangled month. The pause on the Pogues is over as season two of beach-set treasure hunt "Outer Banks" will come ashore at the end of the month, along with a new season of the streaming favorite "Virgin River" and another slice of the skit comedy champ "I Think You Should Leave." On the movie side of things, action junkies will find even more fireworks with the new shoot-em-up "Gunpowder Milkshake" while fear fans will have plenty to be scared about (in a good way) with both the buzzy foreign freak-out "A Classic Horror Story" as well as the R.L. Stine "Fear Street" terror trilogy.
And speaking of horors, there's (*deep sigh*) this.
Their eyes keep following me. HOW DO I MAKE THEM STOP LOOKING AT ME!?
Anyways, here's the list of everything coming to Netflix (and, in the case of "Sexy Beasts," your nightmares) in the month of July.

As much as it is a gigantic cliché to say that one has always had a passion for film, Matt Mueller has always had a passion for film. Whether it was bringing in the latest movie reviews for his first grade show-and-tell or writing film reviews for the St. Norbert College Times as a high school student, Matt is way too obsessed with movies for his own good.
When he's not writing about the latest blockbuster or talking much too glowingly about "Piranha 3D," Matt can probably be found watching literally any sport (minus cricket) or working at - get this - a local movie theater. Or watching a movie. Yeah, he's probably watching a movie.
