May on Netflix brings a mix of new releases and departing favorites. Jennifer Lopez stars in the sci-fi blockbuster “Atlas,” while “Bridgerton” season 3 follows the courtship between Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington. Jerry Seinfeld’s “Unfrosted” and the much-maligned “Madame Web” also debut. Despite the excitement of new arrivals, several significant movies are leaving Netflix. The Hunger Games franchise, including “Mockingjay — Part 2,” will no longer be available. This final installment sees Katniss and her allies confronting President Snow in a thrilling climax.
Adam Sandler’s comedy classic “Happy Gilmore” also departs from Netflix at the end of the month. The film follows Happy’s unlikely journey from failed hockey player to golf sensation, with the help of mentor Chubbs Peterson. “Boyz n the Hood,” directed by John Singleton, offers a poignant look at life in gang-dominated South Central Los Angeles. The film explores themes of family, friendship, and the challenges faced by young African Americans in the community.
For those in the mood for a romance, “Forever My Girl” tells the story of a country music superstar who returns to his small town and reconciles with his past. Liam must confront the consequences of leaving his bride at the altar years earlier while reconnecting with old friends and facing unexpected revelations. Action fans can enjoy “Skyscraper,” starring Dwayne Johnson as a former FBI agent trapped in a burning skyscraper with his family held hostage. Will must use his skills to save his loved ones and clear his name in this high-octane thriller.
