The worst month of the year is almost over, which means we can finally look ahead to spring, warmer weather, sunnier days ... and still staying on the couch glued to streaming movies and TV shows. (Listen, I could try to convince myself I'll run more and go to parks, but I don't want to be a liar.) Luckily, Netflix is happy to help, with a substantial pile of new arrivals for the month of April.

Summer movie season may be a month away, but the Big Red Streaming Monolith will bring the blockbusters for young and old with the "Blade" movies, "How to Train Your Dragon," "Inception" (for approximately the 45th time in three years), the "Sherlock Holmes" films and "Puss in Boots" – just in time for the sequel coming in September. And just in time for Opening Day in baseball, Netflix decided to pick up a bunch of – you guessed it – football movies, "The Blind Side" and "Any Given Sunday" to be specific. 

Still feeling awards-y after the Oscars this upcoming Sunday night? Past winners and nominees "Argo," "Her," "Saving Private Ryan, "Nightcrawler" and "Full Metal Jacket" will all be new on Netflix, waiting for you to read their name out of the Best Movie To Watch Tonight envelope (potentially hot off the service finally winning the Best Picture trophy it's wanted so bad). There's pretty much something for everybody – whether you're a horror buff ("The Ring" and the startingly good "Ouija: Origin of Evil" from "Midnight Mass" master Mike Flanagan) or a light-hearted romantic ("Love Actually" and "Something's Gotta Give"). There's somehow, in a shocking development for Netflix, some movies older than 1980 with "Bonnie and Clyde!"

Going from old to new, Netflix also has a hot slate of original titles with new movies from Richard Linklater ("Apollo 10 1/2"), Judd Apatow ("The Bubble") and "Game of Thrones" co-creator D.B. Weiss ("Metal Lords" ... it's about high school rock bands, not medieval swordplay). There's a new doc about the fall of clothing brand Abercrombie & Fitch – because if you don't have new content about financial tomfoolery, does your streaming service even exist in 2022? And speaking of financial tomfoolery, the final bunch of "Ozark" episodes will drop along with fresh seasons of "Selling Sunset" and "Russian Doll."

And that's just a few drops from the deluge of new shows and movies coming to the Big Red Streaming Monolith next month – so here's the full list.

As much as it is a gigantic cliché to say that one has always had a passion for film, Matt Mueller has always had a passion for film. Whether it was bringing in the latest movie reviews for his first grade show-and-tell or writing film reviews for the St. Norbert College Times as a high school student, Matt is way too obsessed with movies for his own good.

When he's not writing about the latest blockbuster or talking much too glowingly about "Piranha 3D," Matt can probably be found watching literally any sport (minus cricket) or working at - get this - a local movie theater. Or watching a movie. Yeah, he's probably watching a movie.
