It may officially be spring, and while we do very much encourage you to get outside and breathe the warmer air, us movie diehards still need to unwind during the week with a good movie or two.This week's suggestions for Paramount+ people include a funnier take on a cult '80s cop drama TV series starring Johnny Depp, one of the scariest psychological horror films of all time, and a boxing biopic drama based on a true story.3 21 Jump Street A hilarious buddy-cop take on a classic '80s TV show The original 1987 police procedural TV series that this hilarious and successful movie franchise is based on was a lot different.
First and foremost, it starred a young, pre- Johnny Depp.Secondly, it was a comedy.In 2012's , directing pair Phil Lord and Christopher Miller () hold on to the basic premise of young-looking undercover cops who specialize in youth crimes and brilliantly make fun of it.
Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum are perfectly matched as rookie buddy cops, Schmidt and Jenko, who just aren't getting the hang of policing, so their captain (Ice Cube) takes advantage of their pubescent looks and sends them back to high school to take down a drug ring fronted by Eric Molson, played by Dave Franco.And it works.is full of quotable one-liners and memeable moments, like when Schmidt and Jenko are forced to take the actual drug they're investigating to prove they're cool and definitely not NARCs, and their hallucinations and interaction with Rob Riggle's amazingly unhinged gym teacher, Mr.
Walters.Ice Cube is also on point as the stereotypical angry captain.has a solid 85% critics' rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and the sequel, (also streaming on Paramount+) is just as funny.

As Rosemary slowly starts to question her own sanity, everyone around her keeps telling her everything is fine.And, oh boy, it is not.is a must-see classic with a 97% rating on RT.
