The House of Mouse has entered the streaming space, and it s not messing about. Disney+ is a major platform with plenty for subscribers to get their teeth into.
Despite being a TV-on-demand newbie compared to Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ is already stuffed with entertainment, from animated classics to Pixar, Star Wars and the MCU. And with new adult-focussed (no, not THAT kind of adult, you filthy-minded dogs) hub Star having recently arrived, bringing with it a truckload of additional movies and series, there’s enough to keep you going for months (good news, given the current state of the world). Here are some handpicked choices to start you off.

The past year has been a strange one given how the pandemic had brought everything to a standstill. The unbelievable situation left us dealing with some difficult times as a global community. Unlike every year, films weren t made in the massive numbers that they usually do. Film shoots were stopped, films were delayed and some cast and crew members even succumbed to Coronavirus. Despite all the doom and gloom though, films released via streaming, in theatres amid limited capacity and somehow managed to keep us entertained in a tough year.

Nomadland Blu-ray Review
Author Jessica Bruder first documented the nomadic lifestyle in her Harper’s Magazine article, “The End of Retirement,” and soon expanded upon that with her book, “Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century.” Much like the nonfiction book that the film is based on,
Nomadland goes on a journey alongside nomads who were tossed aside during the financial meltdown of 2008. These people either couldn’t find their way back or didn’t want to, so instead, they became nomads. The film is an intriguing hybrid of documentary and narrative fiction. Frances McDormand’s Fern is the narrative thread that intertwines with the real-life lifestyle of nomadic living. That’s essentially what the film is. It’s not about an existential crisis or a political statement, it’s a poetic reflection about the resilience of humanity. That’s the powerful message of what this film is trying to convey.

Chloe Zhao, the Chinese director reinventing US cinema
The Oscar-nominated director of Nomadland has cast the Western and the Road Movie in a new light. She s now revisiting the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Director Chloé Zhao gained fame for her film Nomadland
Chloé Zhao took the long road to Hollywood.
The Chinese-born director, whose film
Nomadland is the frontrunner for the 93rd Academy Awards this Sunday, had a very circuitous route to the top of the movie world.
Like Fern, the van-living nomad played by Frances McDormand in her new movie, Zhao s life has been marked by a wanderlust that has taken her from her birthplace in Beijing via London, New York, and the Badlands of Wyoming to Los Angeles, where she s now one of the most in-demand directors in show business.
