April showers might bring May flowers, but what to do during the rainy season? Why, modern movie-lover does when the weather outside is frightful, curl up with some Netflix. (Maybe get some chill in there, if you’re lucky). While not the most romantic of movies, classic crime lovers can enjoy Brian De Palma’s “Scarface,” which lands on the platform next month. After you get your fix of an infinitely quotable and smoldering Al Pacino, you can jump ahead to the equally as disturbing David Fincher classic, “Seven.”
A few tear-jerking Oscar winners also head to Netflix in April, including the Nicole Kidman, Renée Zellweger-starring “Cold Mountain,” and Roberto Benigni’s WWII drama “Life Is Beautiful.” For lighter fare, check out “The Iron Giant,” or both live-action “The Flinstones” movies (for my Rosie O’Donnell die-hards).
Hopefully, that’s enough to keep you busy until May. Check out...

The Fall actress Séainín Brennan has been cast in new romantic drama Wild.
Brennan, who played bereaved mother Liz Tyler in the BBC series, starts filming for the new movie this month alongside Tom Hughes and Shameless actress Emma Greenwell.
"It's very exciting to be cast in my first feature film," said Brennan.
"What drew me to Wild is the brilliantly written fun quirky script by Vivienne DeCourcy and I just love a story that champions the underdog!"
She added: "My character, Dr Jaqui Finch, is a far cry from Liz Tyler in The Fall. She's glamorous and fashionable but she has her own set of problems and issues.
"I really enjoy taking on a variety of roles, as I like to continually challenge myself and take on a new persona. It allows me to go on that person's journey without having the burden of their problems in real life.
