Her husband, Kyle (<strong>James Tupper<\/strong>), took Jaelyn on a trip to the coast of Vietnam to lift her spirits. But if she thought she was depressed before, Jaelyn is about to have even more reasons to be upset.<\/p>\n<p>A tropical storm sends Jaelyn and Kyle away from the safety of their accommodations to the middle of the ocean, where hungry great white sharks are eager to get a piece of them. The sharks have sampled her husband; now they want the rest of him and Jaelyn as well. Getting out of this mess is going to require a great deal of ingenuity from Jaelyn, but the sharks are far from finished with her, even if she can get back to shore.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Requin<\/em> is streaming on Netflix.<\/p>\n<h2>\u2018Roommates\u2019 (2026)<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"ROOMMATES | Official Trailer | Netflix\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PF3dDdeSIVc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>If <em>Roommates<\/em> was simply about the developing friendship between college students Devon (<strong>Sadie Sandler<\/strong>) and Celeste (<strong>Chloe East<\/strong>), then it would be a very different movie and not necessarily a comedy. Devon\u2019s never been away from her parents, Brian (<strong>Nick Kroll<\/strong>) and Hannah (<strong>Natasha Lyonne<\/strong>), for any considerable length of time before. Having Celeste in her life as her roommate and friend helps her navigate those emotionally charged waters.<\/p>\n<p>Or at least it used to. Now, Devon\u2019s at the stage where almost everything Celeste does annoys the heck out of her. Rather than talking through their differences, Devon\u2019s passive aggressiveness brings out the same in Celeste. Over time, their bond of friendship crumbles as they both try to gain the upper hand. If they aren\u2019t careful, there won\u2019t be anything left of their friendship to save.<\/p>\n<p><em>Roommates<\/em> is streaming on Netflix.<\/p>\n<h2>\u2018Denial\u2019 (2016)<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"DENIAL | Official HD Trailer\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Gfyw7Uz8_2A?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div id=\"news-block\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form  \">\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/themes\/us-weekly\/assets\/img\/newsletter-bg-narrow.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"newsletter-form__background background-narrow\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/themes\/us-weekly\/assets\/img\/newsletter-bg-wide.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"newsletter-form__background background-wide\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"newsletter-signup__success\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<h3>Thank You!<\/h3>\n<p>You have successfully subscribed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><em>Denial<\/em> is based on a legal case that unfolded in the United Kingdom in 1996, when Holocaust scholar <strong>Deborah Lipstadt<\/strong> (<strong>Rachel Weisz<\/strong>) was sued for characterizing <strong>David Irving<\/strong> (<strong>Timothy Spall<\/strong>) as a Holocaust denier in her book.
