The other Netflix title is a poignant family drama exploring the bond between a father and son. All five movies are accessible to U.S. viewers for streaming.

The idea of adults returning to school has timeless appeal for me. Comedies like Back to School, Billy Madison, and 21 Jump Street have already proven this concept works well in entertainment. Upon learning that Never Change! explores a similar premise, my interest was piqued without needing further information. The hook is set.

Seniors at North Meadows High School had their final semester abruptly cut short in 2008 due to a devastating tornado that forced classes to be canceled.

Actress Zoey Deutch has proven herself in romantic comedies. As one of the leads in Set It Up, she showcased her rom-com chops on Netflix, which boasts it as one of its top-rated films. The upcoming Voicemails for Isabelle is generating high expectations, and I'm eager to see if it will join this esteemed group. Chef Jill, a San Francisco-based culinary expert, is grappling with the loss of her sister Isabelle, played by Ciara Bravo.

Jill's voicemails are a poignant expression of her sorrow, left unheeded on Isabelle's phone, which has since been redirected to Wes, an Austin-based real estate agent. Unbeknownst to Jill, Wes is secretly enthralled by her soothing voice, having discovered the reassigned number. As he listens to her heartfelt messages, Wes finds himself drawn to her, yet hesitates to reveal the truth when they finally meet in person. The weight of his deception hangs precariously as their relationship unfolds, threatening to shatter on the rocks of dishonesty.

Isabelle's captivating voice takes center stage on Netflix soon.

Glen Powell has won me over as an actor. His breakout role in Everybody Wants Some!! convinced me of his talent. That initial impression was reinforced by his standout performance in Top Gun: Maverick. Although he faltered in The Running Man, Powell redeemed himself this year with the gripping A24 thriller How to Make a Killing.

The Redfellow family has long considered Beckett and his mother, Nell Williams, outcasts. A pecuniary anomaly in their will ensures that Beckett still stands to inherit a staggering $28 billion. Convinced he'll never receive a penny from the Redfellows willingly, Beckett devises a ruthless plan: eliminate everyone ahead of him, leaving only himself as the sole beneficiary. Glen Powell's undeniable charm is the foundation upon which How to Make a Killing is built, and it remains an integral part of the film's appeal.

The highly anticipated thriller "How to Make a Killing" hits HBO Max screens on June 19.
