‘The Truman Show’ (1998)

I just heard about this new movie starring Jim Carrey, and it sounds incredible! He plays a regular guy, an insurance salesman, who finds out his whole life is a TV show. Like, everyone he knows is an actor and his entire world is a giant set built by this amazing director. It really makes you think about how much of our lives are watched and what’s even real anymore, as he tries to break free from it all. I can’t wait to watch it when it comes out on December 1, 2025 – I’ve heard it’s getting amazing reviews!

‘The Addams Family’ (1991)

As a huge fan of delightfully dark comedies, I’m thrilled to hear The Addams Family is coming to the service! It’s such a fun movie about this wonderfully weird family – the Addamses – who are targeted by a scheming con artist pretending to be their Uncle Fester, hoping to steal their money. Anjelica Huston and Raul Julia are absolutely brilliant as Morticia and Gomez, really bringing that passionate, morbid energy to life. What I love most is how the movie embraces the family’s strangeness with a perfect mix of dark wit and silly slapstick, even when everyone else thinks they’re odd. Get ready to enjoy this spooky classic starting December 1, 2025!
