June has been an excellent month for Netflix content. Subscribers have been treated to such wonderful classics as Steven Spielberg’s E.T. the Extraterrestrial, the overlooked and quite polarizing Observe and Report, Spike Lee’s new hit Da 5 Bloods, and season 4 of the ever-popular 13 Reasons Why. Never content to leave fans waiting very long though, today marks yet another day of content drops for the streaming service, so get ready for even more stuff to keep you glued to your screen.

I've been hoping to get the chance to see the Jeta Amata-directed Nigerian musical Inale for quite some time now. I believe it's been screening around the world since 2010, but it's only just now making its way to Johannesburg, South Africa for a special screening on July 26. From what I've been able to gather, the film will be screened at Jo-Burg's Ster-kinekor Cinemas; first for an exclusive audience on July 26, and then opening for general audiences on July 27. Inale features a very impressive cast, including Caroline Chikezie (Footballers Wives, Torchwood), Hakeem Kae-Kazim (24, Last Flight To Abuja), and Nollywood superstar Ini Edo. Here's...

Dark Horse (15)
(Todd Solondz, 2011, Us) Selma Blair, Jordan Gelber, Christopher Walken, Mia Farrow, Justin Bartha, Zachary Booth. 86 mins
Trust Todd Solondz to give us the flipside of movie man-childhood. There's nothing funny or adorable about 35-year-old Abe (Gelber), who lives with his parents, collects action figures and has no idea of his own uselessness. He meets his match (sort of) in the virtually comatose Blair, and what ensues is a romcom that's neither romantic nor comical, but beneath the misanthropy lurks some kind of compassion.
Killer Joe (18)
(William Friedkin, 2011, Us) Matthew McConaughey, Emile Hirsch, Juno Temple. 102 mins
Curdling Texan noir and melodrama in a bizarre, curiously fascinating thriller.
The King Of Devil's Island (12A)
(Marius Holst, 2010, Nor/Fra/Swe/Pol) Stellan Skarsgård, Benjamin Helstad. 116 mins
Prison thriller set on a 1950s Norwegian borstal island.
Storage 24 (15)
(Johannes Roberts, 2012, UK) Noel Clarke, Colin O'Donoghue. 87 mins
Minimal sci-fi thriller set in a London storage unit.
