TV LAND — If you are looking for some family-friendly movies to watch with the kids during a quiet weekend at home, Netflix is hooking you up for April.
Netflix is adding 65 titles in April and several of them will be great to watch with the whole family including “The BFG” (which was originally slated for March, but was rescheduled to April), “Kubo and the Two Strings,” “Queen of Katwe” and “Secret Life of Pets.”“Cool Runnings” is another favorite that will be available in April and is worth rewatching.
The streaming service will also be dropping 50 titles including all the seasons of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” (fans, better get your binge on, quick!) and the classics “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” and “The Princess Bride.”
