Best of Movie
Red Notice
The Netflix original “Red Notice” seems to be an action movie we have been missing. This movie stars many actors such as Ryan Reynolds, Dwyane Johnson, Gal Gadot, Ritu Arya and Chris Diamantopoulos. These actors combined their humor and intriguing skills to create a movie nobody will forget. Rawson Marshall Thurber, director of “Red Notice” wanted this movie to be the next “Indiana Jones”. You can describe this movie as mysterious and comical.
The movie starts out with Nolan Booth (played by Ryan Reynolds), the best thief in the world meeting John Harley (played by Dwane Johnson), an FBI agent that has been trying to stop him. Throughout the movie, they end up getting closer than they originally intended to be and end up having to work together to get what they both want. Later in the movie, you meet a prolific art thief played by Gal Gadot, who is Nolan and John’s enemy until a big plot twist. A good plot twist is hard to find in other Netflix originals, which is why this movie stood out to me. If you love the feeling of suspense this movie provides it in many ways.
In total, “Red Notice” made around 300 million dollars, and each main actor made around 20 million dollars. There is confirmation that a second movie will happen and will release in 2023, continuing the action. With a chance of getting an academy award, this movie might just be the next big thing. Until then, we have to sit and wait until we know what happens next.

Abbott Elementary
On Dec. 7, 2021, the first episode of Abbott Elementary aired on ABC during Primetime on television screens across the nation. The premiere was an automatic hit with viewers, who became eager for new episodes to air. The mockumentary-style sitcom was created by Quinta Brunson, who also stars in the show, and follows a group of fictional elementary school teachers at a poorly funded school in Philadelphia.
Many fans adore the show for how it tackles the very real problems of the United States public school system with comedy and authenticity. The show shines a spotlight on the lives of black educators, who are often underrepresented and overlooked for the impact they have on their students. The show is based on a teacher the show’s creator had in real life named Ms. Abbott and her own mother who taught Kindergarten.
Now on its second season, the cast of Abbott Elementary was nominated for various awards this year including an Emmy, Golden Globe and a People’s Choice Award. It has also set rating records for being one of the most-watched shows on the network since Modern Family. The audience score is a whopping 88 percent, with most viewers rating it 3.5 stars on average.
Personally, I love Abbott Elementary for its witty comedy and touching storylines. If you are looking for a casual watch with lighthearted comedy and an outstanding ensemble, Abbott Elementary is the perfect show.
