Looking back months ago when we were placed under quarantine—due to the severe global pandemic that unexpectedly hit and spread, not only were we battling the virus but in quarantine we also dealt with a deadly disease faced by many of all ages and sizes: boredom. People turned to movies as a way to pass the time and cure their boredom. Watching movies can also be a great way to spend quality time with friends, family, loved ones, or just even enjoying time to yourself.
Because COVID-19 was so unexpected, the virus threw everything off coarse, also affecting film productions in the entertainment industry. The hindrance in productions delayed new movie releases. Some production companies chose to push dates into the next year or even further away, COVID being regarded as a big factor.
There are so many platforms that offer a variety of movies and shows to keep you entertained and laughing, or half scared to death, depending on your genre preferences.
