4. Madame Web : by Netflix
Madam Web [May 14, 2024] used to be a guilty pleasure for me, not an embarrassment but definitely something I would never, ever admit. I found this cheap-and-cheerless film by S.J. Clarkson a treat for fans such as myself tired of the same old superhero shtick Dakota Johnson stars as Cassandra Webb, a paramedic with (argue with the show’s publicists) psychic powers, who shields future superheroes. Sydney Sweeney, Isabela Merced, and Celeste O’Connor also star.

6. Mother of the Bride : by Netflix
‘Ticket to Paradise’ is one of the movies I particularly enjoyed in 2022 and pointed out the absence of romantic comedies with elderly protagonists. Here the movie ‘Mother of the Bride’ [Released on: May 9, 2024]directed by Mark Waters comes to the rescue. This happy movie, available on Netflix, is about Brooke Shields who plays Lana; her daughter Emma, played by Miranda Cosgrove, decides to get married to the son of Lana’s ex-lover in Thailand. In the middle of all this they learn to cope with changes and life with love and humor.
