6. “Picture This” (Watch on Prime Video)
Simone Ashley, known for her roles in “Bridgerton” and “Sex Education”, is stepping into the world of romantic comedy with Picture This. Inspired by the Australian film “Five Blind Dates”, the movie follows Pia (Ashley), a photographer more focused on her career than love, much to her family’s dismay.

7. “Mickey 17” (Watch in Theaters)
Director Bong Joon-ho is back with “Mickey 17,” a sci-fi film set to release on March 7. Following his Oscar-winning Parasite, Bong’s new movie, based on Edward Ashton’s 2022 novel “Mickey7”, stars Robert Pattinson as Mickey Barnes, a worker sent to a distant planet who’s repeatedly killed and cloned in the course of his job. While the sci-fi premise may seem like a big shift from “Parasite”, “Mickey 17” shares its dark humor and satirical take on class inequality, much like Bong’s 2013 film “Snowpiercer”.
