Reacher, Season Three (Feb 20)
Jack Reacher returns for another season of roaming around the country and putting the smack down on bad guys who think they’re above the law. This time around, he’s tasked with saving an undercover DEA informant by going undercover himself. And surprise, surprise, he discovers some deadly connections to his own military past. The first three episodes of Reacher’s new season will begin streaming on February 20, with subsequent episodes released every Thursday until March 27.

Kill Bill, Volume 1 and 2 (Feb 1)
As an ode to classic kung fu and ’70s exploitation movies, Kill Bill is arguably Quentin Tarantino’s most stylized and fantastical movie to date. If you’re in the mood for a blood-soaked, rip-roarin’ tale of revenge, then you’ve got your evening all lined up.
Mr. & Mrs. Smith (Feb 1)
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie star as a suburban couple whose marriage is on the rocks. But given that they’re rival assassins tasked with killing each other, it’s going to take more than just a few sessions of couple’s therapy. Directed by Doug Liman, Mr. & Mrs. Smith was one of 2005’s highest grossing films thanks to its blend of action, humor, romance, and of course, Pitt and Jolie’s star power.
Say Anything (Feb 1)
Say Anything features John Cusack in one of his signature roles as Lloyd Dobler, an underachiever who falls for his class’ valedictorian (Ione Skye) and begins an unorthodox relationship with her. But when her father rejects their relationship because of Lloyd’s social status, cue the melodrama. And the Peter Gabriel.
