11 New Movies on Netflix We Can’t Wait To Watch This March

Directed by legendary documentarian Errol Morris, CHAOS: The Manson Murders is based on the 2019 book CHAOS: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties by Tom O’Neill with Dan Piepenbring. The book presented new information about Charles Manson and the killing spree carried out by his ‘family.’ Contradicting much of what was set forth in Los Angeles prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi’s book Helter Skelter, which was often seen as the definitive text about Manson and the Tate-LaBianca murders, the film offers new theories involving government cover-ups, drug tests and resurfaces old questions that have lingered about the case for decades.

Plankton: The Movie is the second SpongeBob SquarePants spin-off film, following Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Story, which came out in 2024. In the new release, SpongeBob and his old foe, Plankton (voiced by Mr. Lawrence), are united with one mission: to stop Plankton’s wife Karen from taking over the world. Oh, and did we mention it’s a musical?
