"New year, new me."
It's a phrase pretty much everyone says as they approach the end of one year and the
beginning of another.
Turns out, it's a phrase the folks at Netflix must have been uttering as they put together
their line-up for January 2020.
Beginning January 2020, Netflix subscribers can sink their teeth into four stellar action
flicks - and let it suffice to say: It's all killer, no filler.
Thrill ride, anyone?
Based on the Marvel Comics character, Ghost Rider stars Nicolas Cage as the titular superhero
- and rest assured, he's not your average motorcycle stuntman turned fiery avenger on
wheels.
That's coming your way on January 1st.
"Time to clear the air."
"Heh heh haha."
Meanwhile, both installments of Quentin Tarantino's epic Kill Bill films will be ready for your
viewing pleasure on January 1st.
In a career-defining performance, Uma Thurman plays Beatrix Kiddo, an ex-assassin obsessively
hunting down her former lover - the mysterious Bill.
Meanwhile, she exacts her revenge on all the men and women who have betrayed her over the
years.
And beginning on January 31st, you can check out the 2017 action-thriller American Assassin,
starring Dylan O'Brien as a man hellbent on avenging the death of his fiancée after she's
murdered by terrorists.
Are you a big fan of fantasy films?
You're officially in luck: Netflix will be bringing plenty of magic into our lives - and
soon.
On January 1st, Guillermo del Toro's sprawling, Oscar-winning dark fantasy Pan's Labyrinth
hits the streaming service.
The story involves a young girl who discovers a mythical world of which she is the ruler.
"No No!"
Oh, and you'll definitely want to check out the second and third movies in Peter Jackson's
Lord of the Rings trilogy: The Two Towers and The Return of the King will both be available
for streaming beginning on January 1st.
Here's a New Year's resolution for you: Don't let a drama-free day go by in January 2020.
There are loads of acclaimed dramas coming to Netflix - including Catch Me If You Can
starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
He plays a brilliant con artist and bank robber on the run from an FBI agent, played by Tom
Hanks.
The film is a total delight, particularly if you're into all sorts of wily cat-and-mouse
shenanigans.
"My name is Frank Taylor, I'm a co-pilot for PAN-AM.
I'd like to cash this check here and then I'd like to take you out for a steak dinner."
Let the games begin on January 1st.
Another Leonardo DiCaprio film is coming to Netflix that same day - and it's quite the
mind-melter.
Inception involves a burglar who can creep into people's dreams and pluck out all their
secrets.
Prepare to have your brain scrambled by this beguiling, endlessly entertaining film.
There's even more gripping goodness coming your way on January 1st, including the whip-smart
comedy-drama Up in the Air, starring George Clooney and Anna Kendrick.
On January 18th, The Bling Ring starts streaming.
Based on a true story, this stylish drama involves a group of crafty teenagers who figure
out how to rob the luxurious homes of celebrities.
In the mood for something completely different?
We Are Your Friends starts streaming on January 27th, and it's a music drama that just so
happens to be directed by Max Joseph of Catfish fame.
Get ready to laugh, because Netflix is bringing plenty of classic comedies to the streamer
in January 2020.
First up is Ferris Bueller's Day Off, an iconic comedy about cutting school in favor of all
sorts of mischievous highjinx.
That will be available to stream on January 1st.
That's also the day you can check out the classic 1971 musical comedy Willy Wonka & the
Chocolate Factory.
"Boy what a great series this would have been!"
"Wonka!"
"This is kinda strange."
"Yes, strange Charlie, but it's fun - haha!"
And if that's not quite enough whimsy for you, Tim Burton's 2005 update, Charlie and
the Chocolate Factory, also begins streaming on January 1st.
That's not all.
Hitch starring Will Smith is coming to Netflix on January 1st, along with the zany romp Yes
Man, starring Jim Carrey.
Then, on January 15th, Netflix starts streaming the cutesy 2002 teen comedy Big Fat Liar.
Sure, why not?
There's only one stand-up comedy special coming to Netflix in January 2020, but it's one that
you absolutely should not miss.
Comedian Fortune Feimster brings her first-ever Netflix comedy special to the streamer on
January 21st.
In Fortune Feimster: Sweet & Salty, the Office Christmas Party star reminisces about her
childhood, including her experiences as a Girl Scout.
She also opens up about her family's absurd relationship with a certain chicken wing restaurant
chain, and reveals how one film helped her come to terms with her sexuality.
Scared?
Perhaps you should be.
Netflix is adding tons of amazing horror films and thrillers to the streaming service in
January 2020.
On January 1st, you can watch The Ring, a supernatural thriller about a cursed videotape
that kills anyone who watches it within seven days.
That same day, you can check out The Talented Mr. Ripley, a twisted thriller starring Matt
Damon as a charming con artist and serial killer.
Finally, What Lies Beneath is a supernatural tale starring Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer
as a well-to-do couple living in a haunted house.
Expect plenty of twists and turns in that one.
Then, on January 30th, Briam De Palma's Raising Cain hits Netflix.
This underrated gem stars John Lithgow as Dr. Carter Nix, a brilliant child psychologist
suffering from multiple personality disorder.
Following a shocking discovery, one of those personalities - the titular Cain - comes to
the fore and Carter's actions grow increasingly violent.
This is some trashy, twisted fun that's chockablock with unforgettables performances - all of
which come from Lithgow.
A handful of Netflix originals are presenting their final seasons, including Anne with an
E on January 3rd and The Ranch on January 24th.
