play13:03

noa's older brother Sherlock what's more

play13:06

Brown's work in the lead role is

play13:08

fantastic showing just how valuable

play13:10

female detectives are in both the

play13:12

original flick and its sequel we

play13:14

couldn't think of a better way to blend

play13:16

the teen and mystery genres the tpre

play13:19

case well that was Sherlock Holmes that

play13:21

was Sherlock Sherlock Sherlock Holmes

play13:22

wasn't it I assure you it was mine

play13:25

number nine do Revenge we have to do oh

play13:29

please don't say with me a

play13:31

makeover y feel so problematic it is but

play13:34

it's fun this is the Teen Movie that

play13:36

helped re-energize the genre by honoring

play13:39

it and we are so here for it it

play13:42

spotlights Camila Mendes and Maya Hawk

play13:44

as Drea and Elanor an unlikely Duo who

play13:47

team up to get revenge for each other ah

play13:49

we could get caught we could not

play13:51

graduate we could get expel we won't get

play13:53

caught that's the whole point no one

play13:56

knows we know each other right so no one

play13:58

will connect us to them to each

play14:01

other it's literally perfect Elanor

play14:04

seeks revenge against Drea's ex while

play14:06

Drea sets out to make the person who

play14:08

spread a lie about Eleanor pay not

play14:11

everything is as it first seems though

play14:13

and pandemonium ensues in the most

play14:16

thrilling way possible everyone gets

play14:18

what they deserve in the end and we

play14:20

can't help but obsess over this colorful

play14:22

tale complete with hilarious and

play14:24

meaningful

play14:27

storytelling

play14:33

I number eight the perfect date Noah

play14:37

centineo has essentially become the

play14:39

quintessential Netflix hottie in the

play14:40

past few years and for good reason I

play14:44

could provide a testimonial for your

play14:45

website Celia liberman says Brooks rakan

play14:49

stepped on my

play14:51

ankle but he got me ice in the perfect

play14:55

date he plays Brooks a high schooler who

play14:57

dreams of going to Yale but needs the

play14:59

funds to make it happen think GrubHub

play15:02

but instead of ordering Pat Tha they'll

play15:05

be ordering you to make some extra cash

play15:07

he develops an app where he offers up

play15:09

his Service as a date for hire you want

play15:11

to push me away go ahead cuz we're

play15:13

through baby we are done we

play15:18

are how's that for a defense mechanism

play15:21

of course though things don't always go

play15:22

smoothly and he finds himself Behaving

play15:25

Badly before developing real feelings

play15:27

for someone he'd roped into his schemes

play15:29

it's a treat from start to finish and

play15:31

you'll find yourself giggling and

play15:33

swooning I want to

play15:35

dance oh you you think you can keep up

play15:39

with me I'd like to try number seven all

play15:42

the bright places what are you doing I

play15:46

asked you first Netflix has released a

play15:48

lot of teen movies which follow a

play15:50

similar bright and sunny formula that is

play15:52

reminiscent of classic romcoms from the

play15:54

' 80s and '90s but all the bright places

play15:57

is not actually one of of them it's just

play16:00

all a little much you

play16:02

know how much longer are you going to

play16:04

act like

play16:06

play16:09

of the same name which was popular in

play16:11

the ya genre this deeply moving

play16:13

well-crafted story looks at teen mental

play16:16

health issues revolving around a variety

play16:18

of themes where do you go when you

play16:27

disappear

play16:29

tell me something real about you there

play16:31

is a love story at the center of it

play16:33

between troubled teens Violet and Finch

play16:36

play16:37

unexpected twists along the way just you

play16:44

freak call me a freak one more time

specific search on that site and it's

play16:53

$100 more it's $50 more yeah easy for

play16:56

you to say despite receiving largely

play16:58

positive reviews and plenty of Praise

play16:59

from critics this movie still seemed to

play17:01

fly under the radar after being released

play17:04

play17:07

no you have extremely bad habits you

play17:09

love and longing it also looks at

play18:49

friendships and relationships with

play18:52

family that's right a

play18:54

jagger he could dance oh Jagger was the

it on its head I I just need a few words

play20:41

good ones I'm not writing to Aster to

play20:44

ocean of thoughts like like five oceans

play21:46

Strange Love can't we just get past this

play21:48

whole horny teenage boy archetype quite

play21:51

frankly the idea that it's gay to think

play21:53

of sex as something that's meaningful

play21:55

and special is offensive that's like

play21:58

like the gayest sentence anyone's

play21:59

play22:01

romcom that deals with sexuality is Alex

play22:14

gorilla lifemate that you should

play22:17

decision to lose their virginities to

play22:27

each other I want to have sex with you
