Whether you’re in a relationship or single, the month’s offerings of entertainment is set to appeal to a wide range of viewers. Here are some of the new movies and shows of February 2022 that should be on your watch list.

MURDERVILLE

Are you bored of the same plot lines and concepts in most comedy shows? Think you’ve seen them all? Well, if that’s the case, we suggest you check out Murderville, Netflix’s unique take on a murder mystery dusted with comedy. The series follows eccentric detective Terry Seattle (Will Arnett) as he investigates a series of murders. The twist is that each episode features a new celebrity guest and they aren’t given the script. This means that they have to improvise on the spot based on what happens around them. The series looks like a mix between a reality show, a whodunit, an improv class, and an escape room all wrapped into one. Catch Murderville on Netflix this February 3.   

MARRY ME

At first glance, the plot of Marry Me sounds like something straight from Wattpad, which is honestly why it has us interested. This romantic comedy follows Kat Valdez (Jennifer Lopez), a music superstar who’s in a relationship with fellow star Bastian (Maluma). Then there’s divorced high-school math teacher Charlie Gilbert (Owen Wilson) who doesn’t have much going on in his life at the moment. Kat and Bastian are set to be wed before a live audience. But when she learns that Bastian cheated on her, she calls off the wedding. In a moment of inspired insanity, Kat decides to marry Charlie on a whim when she sees him in the audience. What follows next is a story of how an impulsive reaction evolves into an unexpected romance and how two people from different worlds can get along.

Aside from the interesting plot, the movie also marks the first time Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson will team up for a project. To some. the pairing may seem weird but honestly it could make for surprising comedy gold. Marry Me lands in local cinemas on February 9.

DEATH ON THE NILE

The sequel to Murder on the Orient Express is finally here. And it looks to deliver another dose of mystery, tension, and secrets. Death on the Nile sees Kenneth Branagh return as famed detective Hercule Poirot. While on vacation on the Nile, Hercule must use his investigation skills once more in order to solve the mystery behind the murder of a young heiress. Featuring an all-star cast that includes Gal Gadot, Death on the Nile can hopefully be another exciting ride of twists, turns, drama, and everything in between. The film arrives in cinemas on February 9.

KIMI

From acclaimed director Steven Soderbergh comes this story of tech, murder, and conspiracy. Set during the COVID-19 pandemic in Seattle, the film follows a tech worker played by Zoe Kravitz.

JEEN-YUHS: A KANYE TRILOGY

Enter the mind of one of the most celebrated and divisive rappers of the generation in Kanye West’s newest documentary, Jeen-Yuhs. The first of a planned trilogy, the first installment is set to follow Kanye in his formative years. It promises to show never before seen footage and an intimate look at Kanye before the fame. You can catch the documentary on Netflix this February 16.

THE CUPHEAD SHOW!

Based on the acclaimed run and gun video game Cuphead, The Cuphead Show will follow the titular Cuphead and his brother Mugman as they travel across Inkwell Isles for fun and adventure. Along the way, they’ll come across familiar characters and foes from the game such as The Devil and King Dice. Based from what we’ve seen, the show looks to capture the same aesthetic as the game which already has us excited. If the series manages to capture the same level of quality as the game, then Netflix may just have their next hit video game adaptation on their hands. You can start streaming the show on Netflix on February 17.

TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE

Who says you can’t enjoy a bit of horror in the month of love? Certainly not Leatherface. Taking a page out of the recent Halloween movies, Texas Chainsaw Massacre serves as a direct sequel to the 1974 classic horror film. This is despite the fact that this movie is technically the 9th in the series. It follows Leatherface who goes out of hiding after 50 years to terrorize a new group of teenagers who stumble upon his home. Considering how the recent release of Halloween and Scream have given their main baddies justice, fingers crossed that this movie does the same for Leatherface. Texas Chainsaw Massacre streams on Netflix on February 18.

UNCHARTED

Closing out February 2022 is a blockbuster that’s been a long time coming. Based on the popular video games series of the same name, the Uncharted movie actually serves as a prequel to the whole franchise. It follows how Nathan Drake (Tom Holland) and how he met Victor “Sully” Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) for the first time and their first adventure together to find the lost fortune of Ferdinand Magellan. Yes, that Magellan.

Tom Holland has proven in the past that he can handle a major blockbuster and we feel he can deliver even without the MCU behind him. Video game adaptations are notorious for being a hit or miss. So, hopefully, everything manages to come together in the end. You can catch this in cinemas on February 23.
