Netflix consistently delivers a vast array of fresh movies for its viewers each month, and this trend continues in May. In addition to some documentaries set to debut soon, there’s also an upcoming heartfelt comedy and a chilling horror movie that fans of those genres are eagerly anticipating. Given the success of recent original productions like “Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl” and “Back in Action”, it’s no wonder that viewers continue to choose one of the pioneers of streaming services.

Since Netflix has been in the streaming industry for quite some time now, it’s no surprise that they consistently offer an abundance of fresh entertainment options. It’s always great that regardless of the type of movie one might be keen on watching, Netflix always seems to have something suitable to match their mood. With a host of new films set to premiere on Netflix in May, viewers may find themselves spending considerable time indoors if they aim to watch everything on offer.

‘Britain and the Blitz’

Stream on May 5

I had the pleasure of watching a compelling documentary titled “Britain and the Blitz,” which offers a unique perspective on World War II. Instead of delving into military strategy and soldierly exploits, this latest production centers around the tales of ordinary British civilians who lived through the traumatic era of the Blitz. It skillfully weaves together restored video footage from that time and firsthand accounts to narrate a gripping story that sheds light on the resilience and determination of the British people during those dark days.

During the timeframe from September 1940 to May 1941, the destructive bombings wreaked havoc across large portions of Great Britain. Although it’s most known for the destruction it inflicted, the Blitz brought the British people closer together as neighborhoods rallied in an attempt to endure. A tale of fortitude in the face of overwhelming terror, Britain and the Blitz, is a film that audiences would gain insight from. Starting May 5, you can stream Britain and the Blitz online.

‘Untold: Shooting Guards’

Stream on May 6

Untold: Shooting Guards delves into a chilling event that rocked the basketball community in 2009 involving ex-Washington Wizards teammates, Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton. The documentary uses personal testimonies from both men to shed light on the hidden truths surrounding the locker room incident where guns were brandished.

As a follower, I can’t help but acknowledge that the event drastically changed the course of life for both ex-basketball stars. Over time, it pushed Crittenton towards a far more ominous and perilous destiny, culminating in accusations of murder. The riveting and enlightening documentary, “Untold: Shooting Guards“, sheds light on the whole story, shared by those who were directly involved. The streaming date for “Untold: Shooting Guards” is May 6.

‘Nonnas’

Stream on May 9

This film, titled Nonnas, tells a heartfelt comedy story about a man named Joe (Vince Vaughn). After losing his mother, he finds solace in memories of her and his grandmother’s old recipes. Inspired by these cherished meals, Joe decides to open an Italian restaurant with a unique twist: employing grandmothers, or nonnas, as the chefs. As he delves into the past, he comes to understand that food represents love, which fuels his dream of opening this unconventional eatery.

Joe’s business endeavor transcends commerce and deeply revolves around family, making it particularly meaningful for those who may be missing their own families. Starring an impressive lineup of actors like Susan Sarandon, Lorraine Bracco, Talia Shire, Brenda Vaccaro, Linda Cardellini, Drea de Matteo, and Joe Manganiello, Nonnas is a film that promises to evoke heartwarming emotions. Starting May 9, you can stream Nonnas.

‘Fear Street: Prom Queen’

In the latest addition to the Fear Street series, titled “Fear Street: The Prom Queen’s Ball,” we are taken back to Shadyside High for a prom night like no other in 1988. The story focuses on the school’s popular girls competing for the coveted title of Prom Queen. As anticipated, the usual contenders submit their names for the prestigious crown. However, when an unexpected newcomer enters the race and several other candidates mysteriously disappear, it becomes evident that this year’s prom will be far from ordinary. “Fear Street: The Prom Queen’s Ball” will be available for streaming on May 23rd.

‘A Widow’s Game’

An engaging Spanish-language thriller titled “A Widow’s Game” tells the story of a young woman named Maje (Ivana Baquero) whose husband mysteriously turns up dead in a Valencia parking lot.
