New HBO NOW Releases: February 2016

So February is almost upon us, and that means it’s time to make Valentine’s Day plans. Because I’ve got a newborn baby at home (and because I’ve always been cheap and lazy), this year I’ll probably sit at home and watch movies with my wife. If you’d like to go that route too, HBO NOW has plenty of appropriate options to choose from, including the single most romantic movie of 2015, Magic Mike XXL. What could possibly be more romantic than Joe Manganiello grinding a gas station soda machine? (I’m drawing a blank, but that might be because I keep getting distracted by Manganiello’s abs.)

Other February HBO highlights includes the returns of Girls and Last Week Tonight, and the debut of the new original series Vinyl from Terence Winter and Martin Scorsese about the New York rock scene in the 1970s. Plus you’ve got new releases like A Walk Among the Tombstones (one of the more underrated Liam Neeson joints), the double Dwayne Johnson feature of Furious 7 and San Andreas, and vintage titles like Bad Santa, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, and the only romance more romance-y than Magic Mike XXL: Road House. Swoon.
