10 Of The Best Netflix Movies Right Now

As we all know, there are plenty of movies to watch on Netflix. The amount of films can feel never ending between all the genres. Here I've listed a total of 10 movies that are hot on Netflix right now. These movies can almost always be found on Netflix throughout the year. If for some reason they're no longer available, still consider watching these films. There are so many streaming services available, there should be no hardships finding these to watch. 

Let's get started with the list, shall we? 

Top 10 Netflix Movies to Watch



 The Social Dilemma




This movie doesn't only give us a disturbing look into how much technology and social media affects our every day lives, but it hits home something fierce. Viewers will find themselves relating to Ben more than they assumed. Every day we use our phone, internet, e-mail, and social medias. Do you use them a lot, or simply a little bit? Actual workers and former employees of some of the top networking sites give their opinions and stories of how the extreme world has affected them. This movie is well worth the watch.

Five Iconic Horror Scenes

There is nothing like getting scared while watching a Horror film, and truly enjoying the fact that a movie actually scared the living daylights out of you. For horror film junkies, there are some horror genre movies that stick out the most. Included below are five film scenes that not only scare the heck out of you, but stick with you even after the film is over, when you have reminded yourself “It’s just a movie, it isn't real.”

Carrie's Grave
Even with it's release in theaters years ago, many people were petrified to go to any form of grave site due to this one specific scene. As one of the survivors visits Carrie White to leave flowers at her grave, she looks up at the sign that says Carrie White burns in hell. Right as she puts the flowers down, Carrie's hand reaches out from the grave and grabs her arm. As she screams with terror, her mother wakes her from her nightmare, and it turns out it is only a dream.

While it may be only a dream, it is still to this day one of the scariest movie moments in horror history.




Psycho – The shower scene
 Don't be frightened, it's only a beautiful woman in an eerie motel going for her warm shower. No need to be alarmed, or is there? Without knowing that there is a psychopath in the same motel, this innocent enough woman goes in for a shower to wind down from her eventful day.

As she's enjoying her shower all to herself, viewers see only a shadow behind the curtain. He pulls back the curtain and begins to stab her multiple times as she screams and tries to fight back. Unable to, she slowly collapses in the shower while it's still running, to the end of her life, but manages to pull down the curtain right before her death.



The Shining – The Twins in the hall
As far as horror clips go, this is one of the top five definitely. Little Danny is riding his bicycle throughout the hallway in the giant hotel and stumbles upon two twin girls who say hello. While he knows that there are no other children there, he is a bit frightened. They ask him to come to play, forever and ever. While they are asking him, the scene flashes between the "live" girls, and the girls on the floor massacred with a single ax lying next to their bodies.

Poor Danny is scared and petrified that there is nothing he can do except remind himself it isn't real and it's just like pictures in a book. One of the creepiest clips of it's time, The Shining is sure to frighten those who view it.



Paranormal Activity – Leg Pull
With the way horror films go lately, the supernatural or paranormal theme is very popular. In Paranormal Activity franchise, it is no different. Horror movie fans find themselves seeing a family that is being haunted by some sort of phenomenon which is out to do them harm. In this clip, viewers see as Kate who is sleeping in her bed with not a care in the world, finds herself being pulled out of bed by her leg, and out of the room screaming out for her husband Mikah to come save her and come to her aid. The scene itself provides chills and thrills for those who watch because it is something that everyone fears, that there is something under the bed, or that goes bump in the night.

This tale of the unknown follows through and provides even three more in the franchise to please and scare viewers even more.



The Ring -Samara
While this movie is also a paranormal type of film, it is a bit of a twist on ghost stories. The scariest movie clip from this entire film is when the man is at his studio apartment, and suddenly his phone rings, then the television comes on only as static. He turns off the television thinking it's a glitch, but soon the TV comes back on with the video itself that involves little Samara crawling out of the well as she comes closer and closer to the TV. Soon, Noah realizes that he's in for it now. Samara comes out of the TV still looking pale and pixelated to get him.

Who would think a little girl could cause so much trouble, but when they come out of the television right at you, you know you are in trouble. The ring brought the long haired little girl into the creepy girl, all within a few scenes.




Each of the above five movies were ones that will stick in the heart of horror movie fans everywhere. The five scenes may be different in essence, but from viewing each one, viewers are able to see that the horror scare truly has become that of an art.

Review of The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water

What would happen if suddenly there were no more Crabby Patties?

WHAT NO CRABBY PATTIES?!?!

Now that I've caught your attention, let me tell you a little story about what happens when Bikini Bottom runs out of the one beloved thing that the entire town can count on. Coming together, one brave and unexpected team comes together to do everything they can to right this wrong.


SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of the Water Movie Review

Overview

Nickelodeon has brought SpongeBob fans everywhere a brand new look into their favorite sponge in the newest movie: The SpongeBob Movie: Out of Water. In the beginning of the film we see this mysterious pirate (Antonia Bandares) on a treasure hunt to find a special book hidden on an island. We only meet him for a brief moment where he gets back to his ship and sets sail for the mainland.

Much like the beloved cartoon featured on Nick, viewers of all ages can get a glimpse of the evil Plankton trying to steal the secret formula from the Krabby Patty. Plankton who is normally foiled by something during his schemes finds himself that much closer to the secret recipe in the beginning of the film.

With the brilliant idea of changing the recipe out with a fake, he finds himself in a battle with SpongeBob (Tom Kenny) trying to take the formula from his hands. Unfortunately, while in the middle of a tug of war, the bottle vanished out of nowhere without explanation. While the formula is gone Bikini Bottom turns into an apocalypse because the beloved crabby patty recipe is nowhere to be found and nobody knows the formula by heart. Even SpongeBob, who makes the recipe every day can’t seem to recall the recipe. 

The loss of the formula puts Bikini Bottom into an apocalypse. With this SpongeBob is blamed and so is Plankton. The entire town has lost themselves because they cannot have their Krabby patty. Having to form a Team or a T-ahm (as Plankton cannot say the word team) SpongeBob and Plankton find themselves working on a way to bring back the formula and save Bikini Bottom, including going back in time. 



During this time traveling adventure they not only find themselves going backwards and forwards but at one point meeting up with the watcher of space, Bubbles. At this point they finally go back in time to the right moment but SpongeBob grabs the wrong bottle, and they still don’t have the answers to save the world of Bikini Bottom.


Without giving away the twist, I can share that this unlikely duo becomes a group when Plankton and SpongeBob get a clue. With the help of the group, they set off on an adventure out of the water, giving the film a live action appeal with some 3D animations.

Review
Overall, I really enjoyed this movie. SpongeBob has always been silly and a fun choice for my family and I to watch. Not to mention kids of all ages everywhere can find themselves loving (or hating) this movie. For me, I enjoyed it to my very core because well, I love SpongeBob, he’s cool. I love Patrick because he’s a big dope, but has a heart of gold. The rest of the characters have their own loveable traits and can all be equally liked among fans.


My favorite parts were definitely when Plankton got a look into SpongeBob’s brain and found he was dealing with nothing but happy cheerful things. It reminded me a little bit of Carebears. The second part would definitely be when they traveled onto the dry land and we got a glimpse of these characters outside of their element with a little extravagance.




All in all as I told my friend I would definitely go see this again and I’m already waiting for it to come on DVD because I liked it so much. Don’t believe me? Look at what I wore to the movie when we went and saw it!


   
Lastly, I can say at the end of the film of course I found myself singing along with the SpongeBob Squarepants theme song and I knew every word even after all these years. With that, I must say; Are you ready kids?
♪ OHHHH! Who lives in a Pineapple under the sea?
Spongebob Squarepants!
Absorbent and yellow and porous is he
Spongebob Squarepants!
If nautical nonsense be something you wish
 Spongebob Squarepants!
Then drop on the deck and flop like a fish
 Spongebob Squarepants!
 READY?
Spongebob Squarepants!
Spongebob Squarepants!
Spongebob Squarepants!
SPONGEBOB SQUAREPAAAAANTS! 

I bet you just sang that, didn't you? 
(Don't Worry, I did too)


Did you see the film? What did you like or dislike about it?

Who is Slenderman?

There are many urban legends throughout the history of mankind, and with the internet there are now even more that exist. Of these many urban legends Slenderman has become one of the most popular internet meme urban legends around. However, the question remains true to those who have not heard of him. Who is Slenderman?

Slenderman is considered to be very passive/aggressive with his victims. While he is said to be a torturing soul, he will stalk his victims by showing himself to them causing them to become mentally unstable. While he stalks his prey, he will stalk them for months to years at a time. His appearance has been subjected to change as the years have gone on but recently he is considered to be a tall, slender man who has long arms and no face. His clothing is only that of a single business-type suit, with no certainty of whether it is cloth or his skin.

The legends have varied through times from the early 1600s in Germany to now. In the first accounts it is said he will do things such as remove organs and place them into bags while impaling his victims on to trees. It is believed that Slenderman will also stalk his target down until caught and vanish off with them without a single trace of where they have gone. It is said that the modern version of his story will cause electronic equipment to malfunction by causing glitches in equipment.

Slenderman’s abilities are said to be slenderwalking, time travel, mind control, and a form of camouflage. He also has a high importance among children as its preferred prey. Slenderwalking is a form of teleportation that he possesses to avoid being seen or noticed by his victims. Through his usage of teleportation from location to location, Slenderman will find his victims and torture them mentally.

Through what is referred to as “slender sickness” he will cause the victim to become highly paranoid, nose bleeds, nightmares, as well as hallucinations. After a period of these symptoms, Slenderman will abduct his victim from any nearby forest where their death will become them. It is a legend that the victims would be impaled by the branches of a tree to bleed to death and then each organ is removed and put into the plastic bags.

Within the 1990s through 2010 many bloggers and students have claimed to have been stalked by Slenderman and have video recordings of these events and occurrences. Speculation of them being falsified or true stories has yet to be truly known.

To view some spooky and frightening Slenderman videos from Marble Hornets, visit their YouTube channel which has a mass majority of hits and views. For an extra spooky effect watch with the lights off.

Disclaimer:
While there has been much fun with Slenderman, I do condone any of the violence that has gone alongside of this legend. People, it is an urban legend and fiction.
