Netflix's monthly purge is on its way, costing us important cinematic endeavors like Failure To Launch, Scary Movie 5, and something called Bratz: Babyz: The Movie, which I can only assume help contributed to a Trump win. But we're also getting a few gems, with upcoming streaming options including Magic Mike, The Blair Witch Project, Superbad, and all of American Crime Story: The People vs. O.J. Simpson. Still, somehow Netflix hasn't heard my plea for Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, a film that is both topical and well-acted. Oh well, maybe next month.
Here's what's headed our way in February, and note that you should definitely not watch Sausage Party with your teenaged male cousins:

But Netflix's gifts are also curses, for the films we gain mean we must also suffer losses. February's victims include the aforementioned Brats: Babyz: The Movie, along with Bratz: Super Babyz, which is apparently a whole separate movie, who knows.
