TV & MOVIES ‘Pamela, A Love Story’ Pamela Anderson has been making headlines again for revelations in the documentary "Pamela, A Love Story," coming to Netflix this week. After many people trying tell her story for her — including in the recent Hulu series "Pam & Tommy" which Anderson chose not to contribute to and called "salt on the wound" and "not necessary" — she tells her story herself through archival footage and personal journals. Ryan White ("The Keepers," "Ask Dr. Ruth" and "Goodnight Oppy") directs. DETAILS '80 for Brady' A sweet if toothless "Girls Trip" for the "Golden Girls" crowd, "80 for Brady" unites four Hollywood legends -- "Grace and Frankie" duo Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda, Rita Moreno and Sally Field -- as a real-life gang of octogenarian amigas who road-tripped to the 2017 Super Bowl to cheer on their favorite quarterback, Tom Brady. DETAILS Review: Legendary ladies bring winning touch to ‘80 for Brady’'Knock at the Cabin' Dave Bautista, Rupert Grint and Jonathan Groff star in this new M. Night Shyamalan thriller about a girl and her parents taken hostage by armed strangers who demand that the family make a choice to avert the apocalypse. DETAILS Review: ‘Knock at the Cabin’ twists the home invasion horror Related: M. Night Shyamalan challenges divisive viewers with new apocalyptic psychological horror film ‘Knock at the Cabin’‘Lyle, Lyle Crocodile’ For the kids, "Lyle, Lyle Crocodile" also comes to Netflix on Saturday, Feb. 4. The movie based on the popular Bernard Waber series is hybrid live action/ CGI and a musical as well, featuring Shawn Mendes as the titular Crocodile Lyle. Constance Wu, Javier Bardem and Scoot McNairy also star. The story focuses on a family who has recently relocated to New York City and their son (Winslow Fegley) is struggling to adapt until the caviar-loving crocodile enters his life. DETAILS ‘Princess Power’ Drew Barrymore and Savannah Guthrie have teamed up to executive produce a new animated children's series on Netflix called "Princess Power." The show centers around Penny Pineapple, Kira Kiwi, Bea Blueberry, and Rita Raspberry, all princesses who are devoted to help others while teaching young viewers about inclusivity, diversity, teamwork and friendship. It's based on Guthrie's bestselling children's book "Princesses Wear Pants." Guest stars on "Princess Power" are voiced by Rita Moreno, Andrew Rannells, Tan France, Jenna Ushkowitz and Guthrie as well. All 14 episodes are available this week. DETAILS ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ If you haven't managed to catch "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" yet the Marvel sequel arrives on Disney+ this week with a batch of five Oscar nominations to its name, including best supporting actress for Angela Bassett. In his review, AP Film Writer Jake Coyle wrote that, "'Wakanda Forever' is overlong, a little unwieldy and somewhat mystifyingly steers toward a climax on a barge in the middle of the Atlantic. But director Ryan Coogler's fluid command of mixing intimacy with spectacle remains gripping." DETAILS ‘Blackport’ The fishing industry in Iceland is a major export commodity but a controversial quota where individuals and companies are allowed to catch and sell a predetermined number of fish per year, is a politically-charged issue. A new series called "Blackport," is based on a true story and follows a couple who take advantage of that quota in the 1980s to control a large part of the market. The success goes to their heads leading to greed, corruption, jealousy and deception. The eight-episode series has been picked up by the streaming service Topic where you can subscribe directly or add its channel on Amazon Prime Video, AppleTV or Roku. The first three episodes drop Thursday with the remaining five doled out weekly. DETAILS Hitchcock’s ‘Shadow of a Doubt’ In this 1943 movie, Alfred Hitchcock looks at the moral darkness lurking beneath the picture-perfect surface of small-town American life.
