Crossing the Streams is our collection of guides taking a look at all of the choices hitting the large streaming providers every month. This time we’re trying out what’s new to streaming on Netflix in March 2024, together with 3 Physique Drawback from the creators of Sport of Thrones, a brand new Adam Sandler movie referred to as Spaceman, and extra!
Netflix Choose of the Month for March 2024
Opinions on Sport of Thrones proceed to differ wildly, however they’re nothing in comparison with opinions on the 2 creatives behind it — David Benioff and D.B.Weiss. Viewers who haven’t sworn off their collective creations will wish to tune in for his or her newest effort, 3 Physique Drawback (premieres March twenty first). An adaptation of the bestselling guide by Cixin Liu, the collection follows a gaggle of scientists reeling from a far-reaching, intergalactic discovery with connections again to Sixties China. Firmly established scientific ideas begin to crumble, and the best thriller the trendy universe has ever seen spreads its tendrils throughout the globe. The forged is generally comprised of newcomers (at the very least to Western eyes) alongside Eiza González, Benedict Wong, and Liam Cunningham. The chance right here is that the present is phenomenal and grabs our curiosity instantly… solely to be canceled by Netflix. However let’s not get forward of ourselves!
New Netflix Originals
Adam Sandler’s manufacturing cope with Netflix — arguably the very best such deal between any artistic and a manufacturing firm — has given us loads of dumb comedies through the years, however there’s additionally been a handful of fine occasions within the combine. His newest, Spaceman, leans away from broad comedy and right into a dramatic sci-fi journey a few lone astronaut pressured to depend on an alien being if he ever needs to make it again house to Carey Mulligan. The creature is voiced by Paul Dano, and the movie seems to be to be an emotionally affecting story of survival and character. No, actually.
Hulu gave us the legit good Joey King-led motion/journey The Princess again in 2022 (earlier than taking it away from us as a result of Disney sucks ass), and now Netflix is following go well with with the Millie Bobby Brown fantasy car, Damsel (premieres March eighth). I don’t anticipate it to be almost pretty much as good as The Princess, partially as a result of it seems to be to be extra occupied with conventional set-pieces versus enjoyable fights, however director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo has a strong resume with the likes of 28 Weeks Later (2007) and Intruders (2011), so I’m staying optimistic.
1953’s The Wages of Worry stays an all-timer within the suspense style, and William Friedkin’s 1977 remake, Sorcerer, maintains that top degree of high quality. This yr sees yet one more adaptation on Georges Arnaud’s supply novel with the French launch, The Wages of Worry (premieres March twenty ninth). Director Julien Leclercq has some low-key bangers in his filmography together with Sentinelle (2021), Earth and Blood (2020), and The Crew (2015), so the percentages are good that he’s greater than succesful for the job in terms of constructing environment, rigidity, and thrills from a premise involving temperamental, explosive vehicles. And never for nothing, however the nice Alban Lenoir stars — hunt down Misplaced Bullet (2020) and Misplaced Bullet 2 (2022) in the event you haven’t already seen them — so I’m already totally alongside for the journey.
Nice Films You Could Have Missed

We used to get motion pictures like 21 Bridges (2019) all of the rattling time, mid-budget motion movies with partaking leads and enjoyable set-pieces however with out the heavy overhead of epic CG antics, however they’re an endangered species as of late. So after they do come, we have to rejoice. Brian Kirk’s entry into this explicit subgenre stars the late Chadwick Boseman as a very good cop caught up in one thing soiled that explodes right into a city-wide manhunt. It’s a very good time and makes some artistic selections with the story that do nicely at holding consideration and constructing suspense.
Talking of mid-budget gems, Carl Franklin’s Satan in a Blue Costume (1995) ought to have been the beginning of a franchise, however audiences failed it again in 1995. We nonetheless have this movie, although, and what a incredible time it’s as Denzel Washington brings the character of Straightforward Rawlins to life in late 40s Los Angeles. Thriller, noir, conspiracy, racial tensions, and homicide all boil over right into a terrific time for viewers, and cinematographer Tak Fujimoto helps carry the interval to stunning life. Add in entertaining turns by Tom Sizemore, Jennifer Beals, and Don Cheadle, and a cameo by Washington’s younger son, John David Washington, and it’s a must-see.
Made for much much less cash and launched throughout a pandemic, Halina Reijn’s Our bodies Our bodies Our bodies (2020, premieres March twentieth) is a thriller of a unique type. Each a terrifically enjoyable horror movie and a scathing commentary on in the present day’s “on-line” tradition, the movie manages quite a few surprises whereas additionally delivering thrills and laughs. The forged is aces with Amandla Stenberg, Maria Bakalova, Myha’la, Rachel Sennott, and Chase Sui Wonders joined by Pete Davidson and Lee Tempo. Good luck guessing who the killer is earlier than it’s revealed!
The Oldest New Arrival to Netflix
There are quite a lot of legitimate causes to criticize Netflix, from the fixed value gouging to the untimely cancellation of reveals, however they’re additionally a streamer with an actual lack of older movie titles. By older I imply pre 90s, and that shallow library hurts whenever you go in search of classics. To that finish, every month we spotlight the oldest new arrival to the streamer, and for March that movie is Arthur Penn’s legal romance, Bonnie and Clyde (1967). Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty star because the violently inclined lovers who embark on against the law spree with just one attainable ending. The Oscar winner additionally stars Gene Hackman, Michael J. Pollard, Estelle Parsons, and Gene Wilder.
