With the superhero content coming thick and fast the past decade, we’re always looking for fresh new takes on the genre. While the idea of drugs providing normal people with powers isn’t an original idea, How I Became a Superhero has refreshing its own refreshing take on the sub-plot.
Superheroes, now a part of everyday life in Paris, France, compete to become the most famous, sometimes at all costs. But when a new and dangerous drug hits the Parisian streets, suddenly mortals develop superpowers of their own. Aided by two former superheroes, Monte Carlo and Callista, it’s up to Paris detectives Moreau and Schaltzmann to dismantle the emerging drug empire.

Genre: Action, Adventure | Runtime: 136 Minutes

It’s not often Netflix picks up an Original from Russia, so we certainly don’t recommend you sleep on Major Grom; Plague Doctor, and give it a watch this weekend.
In the Russian city of St. Petersburg, the highly respected Police Major Igor Grom faces the greatest challenge of his career when a plague doctor mask-wearing vigilante begins murdering the corrupt social elite.
This Little Love of Mine (2021)

If you’re looking for a little romantic escape this weekend then look no further than This Little Love of Mine.
Laura is about to become a partner at her law firm, but first, she needs to find a replacement to become the head of her grandfather’s billion-dollar company. She returns to her small tropical island home and reaches out to her childhood friend Chip. Initially uninterested, Chip proposes a deal that for every moment of fun or relaxation she can afford, he will read a page of the contract
Midnight Sun (2018)
Director: Scott Speer
Genre: Drama, Romance | Runtime: 91 Minutes
Cast: Bella Thorne, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Rob Riggle, Quinn Shephard, Ken Tremblett
For a film made on a tiny budget of $2.8 million, it made a respectable $27.4 million at the box office. A real tear-jerker, we doubt many teens will be able to keep a dry eye with this one.
Suffering from a rare condition that doesn’t allow her to go into sunlight, Katie Price is forced to stay inside during the day, and but can leave her home at night. When Katie meets Charlie, she quickly develops a crush on him, but struggles to decide between telling him or her condition, or pretend to lead a normal life.
