New on Netflix UK March 2021: The Irregulars & Moxie Streaming This Month

March brings breezes loud and shrill/stirs the dancing daffodil. Bit of poetry for you there.

HBO Max New Releases: March 2021

It’s happening. It’s finally happening. What was once a particularly pervasive and aggressive Internet meme is now a reality. HBO Max’s list of new releases for March 2021 is highlighted by none other than the mythical Snyder cut. The entity now known as Zach Snyder’s Justice League will premiere on March 18. While it was originally planned to be a four-part miniseries, this recut version of 2017’s ill-fated Justice League will in fact be a four-hour movie. But perhaps even four hours won’t be enough for fans who have been waiting years for just such an event. Read more Movies…
