Good lord, if it feels like we’ve been waiting forever to see ANYTHING from Triple Frontier, it’s because we have.

Review: ‘Dumplin’, Dolly Parton Tunes Boost Netflix’s Lightweight Pageant Comedy
While watching Netflix’s latest original film, Dumplin’, I kept waiting for Dolly Parton to show up. Her music gives the film its southern fried charm, so if you’re a fan of “9 to 5”, “Jolene”, and other Parton hits this will be like a welcome helping of comfort food.

Richard Adams’ novel Watership Down may feature a bunch of cute and cuddly rabbits, but the story is one of survival, loyalty, spirituality, and hardship. Fun!

The Summer Of Love Continues: ‘To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before’ Sequel In The Works At Netflix
It was a summer of love over at Netflix earlier this year, as the streaming giant tapped into something special with a series of teen rom-coms. The highlight of these was Susan Johnson’s To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before (my review), which starred X-Men‘s Lana Condor as an Asian-American girl experiencing the joys and…

‘Dumplin” Trailer: Danielle Macdonald And Jennifer Aniston Are Texas Pageant Queens
If you haven’t already heard the name Danielle Macdonald…well, then I was wrong about last year’s Patti Cake$ being her breakout film.
