Peacock to Add 110 New Titles This Week – Here Are the 3 Best

Peacock, the NBCUniversal-operated streaming service, this week (January 26-February 1, 2025) plans to add 110 new TV shows and movies. Here are the three best new additions, in my humble opinion:

American Gangster (2007)
The crime drama from director Ridley Scott stars Denzel Washington as real-life Harlem drug kingpin Frank Lucas and Russell Crowe as the cop who brings him down. Denzel is at his charismatic best as the crime boss; you can’t take his eyes off him. And Crowe is equally good as the randy but relentless detective. (And there are few directors better than Ridley Scott.) Masterful work all around. Debuts Saturday, February 1.

Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron Burgundy (2004)
Will Ferrell is at his peak zaniness as a narcissistic San Diego news anchor named Ron Burgundy whose perfect life is disrupted when the station hires a female co-anchor, played superbly by Christina Applegate. The film serves as both satire of local news in the 1970s and a showcase for Ferrell’s slapstick genius and the supporting cast is just brilliant including Fred Willard, Steve Carell, Paul Rudd, and David Koechner. And don’t miss the amazing news anchor duel with cameos from Ben Stiller, Tim Robbins and Vince Vaughn. Funny film! Debuts Saturday, February 1.

Inside Man (2006)
Inside Man, the entertaining 2006 drama (directed by Spike Lee) starring Denzel Washington as a troubled New York detective assigned to investigate a bank robbery that turns into a kidnapping. Denzel is deliciously playful as the cop and Clive Owen is perfect as the chief thief.  But the supporting cast is also overflowing with memorable performances including Jodie Foster as a New York political fixer and Christopher Plummer as a bank executive with a mysterious past. Debuts Saturday, February 1.
