The INSIDER Summary

•February is going to be a big month for Netflix releases from new original series to our favorite movies of all time.
•New additions to watch this February include American Crime Story: The People V. O.J. Simpson, Superbad, Michael Bolton’s Big Sexy Valentine’s Day Special, Finding Dory, and Santa Clarita Diet.

Look, there’s a lot of things that we at Screen Rant love about life. A nice walk through fresh snow, a cozy dinner with friends or family, curling up in front of the fireplace with a good book. But – let’s be honest – there’s no better moment in a day than sitting in front of your television or laptop and finally seeing that red and black Netflix logo pop up. Anything bad about our day fades away and all we’re left with is the excitement of endless streaming entertainment.

Last month – despite January generally being a horribly depressing month – was full of exciting new Netflix content that literally filled our lives with joy. And we say literally because we’ve been watching a lot of A Series of Unfortunate Events lately and the dialogue has both literally and figuratively caused us to change the way we speak. But since those eight episodes went by too quickly, and we’ve already binged our way through every movie and special that Netflix has released, we can’t wait to get streaming on everything that Netflix has to offer this February.

February is going to be a huge month for Netflix. With new movies and some very flashy series debuting this month, we can’t wait to blow off all of our responsibilities and watch everything we can as soon as it’s all available. As we do every month, we are sorting through the best things coming to Netflix this month and telling you what you need to watch.

15. The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) – Feb 1

Somewhere in the world at any given time an eternal debate rages regarding The Nightmare Before Christmas. Is it a Halloween film? Is it a Christmas film? If this is truly a Tim Burton film, then where in the hell is Johnny Depp? Regardless of your answers to any of the above answers, the fact remains that The Nightmare Before Christmas is a great film that you can never see too many times.

Sure, the film may be best viewed around the holidays (Halloween, Christmas, whatever), but watching it in February doesn’t diminish it in any way. The songs are still as magical as ever, and the animation is pure nostalgic goodness. To throw this film up on Netflix is to get a good dose of childhood cheer, and you could do much worse than starting off the month by watching something that feels like hot chicken soup thawing your winter-ravaged veins.

14. The Blair Witch Project (1999) – Feb 1

Something about the cold, desolate months of January and February are perfect for horror – a fact that movie studios have caught onto in recent years with the release of horror classics often coming in the winter. So there’s perhaps no better way to spend a dreary February day then holed up inside with one of the best horror movies of the last two decades. Wrap a blanket around you, hide from any type of forest that may be near you, and start streaming The Blair Witch Project.

Although found footage horror has exploded since Paranormal Activity, it was really The Blair Witch Project that proved the merits of the horror subgenre. Famously, many viewers had no idea if what they were watching was real when it debuted in theaters, and the film still holds up today as being shockingly realistic. While we now know that this is simply a scripted micro-budget film, seeing the shaky-camera and hearing the behind-the-scene screaming of the main characters still sends chills down our spine that no horror movie has been able to match since.

13. Babe (1995) – Feb 1

Out of context, Babe is a headscratcher of a movie and an even more confusing footnote in history. It’s a kid’s film about a talking pig that grossed $254 million at the box office against a $30 million budget. It was also nominated for seven Academy Awards, including best picture and best director. And, this bears repeating once again, it’s a kid’s film about a talking pig.

But, look, Babe is a f***ing delight! Everything about this film is handcrafted to be one of the most enjoyable experiences you’ll ever have with a family film. Regardless of your age or your experience with talking pigs, there’s nothing but joy to be had within the confines of Babe’s running-time. The perfect film to click play on no matter who’s in the room watching with you, Babe is everything you remember it being and more. They just don’t make movies like this anymore.

On Wednesday, Tesla officially changed its name from "Tesla Motors" to just "Tesla Inc."

The automaker had already made the change to its website address, and the switch reflects the company's evolution, from an upstart maker of electric cars to an integrated auto, energy storage, and solar panel company — this last piece coming with the acquisition of SolarCity in 2016.

The change occurs ahead of Tesla's fourth-quarter and full-year 2016 earnings report, scheduled for next week. News of the new name broke when Tesla filed the required paperwork with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Tesla Inc. has a lot on its plate for 2017. But here's a look back at everything Tesla Motors went through in 2016:

SEE ALSO: Why Elon Musk is an alternative to Donald Trump

Great Expectations for 2016: Tesla started the year at nearly $240 a share, fresh off the launch of its long-awaited Model X SUV in 2015 and its best-ever year for vehicle deliveries, just over 50,000. Could the carmaker push its stock price higher, toward the nearly $300 it achieved in 2014?

JANUARY: "production hell" for the Model X, Wall Street wakes up, and Faraday Future arrives.

Tesla had some wind in its sails as 2014 got underway. The carmaker had just launched the Model X crossover SUV and was coming off its best-ever years for vehicle deliveries. 

Shares had moved higher following the Model X's arrival, and some newly bullish sentiment was building on Wall Street. But some new caution had also emerged. When Tesla was selling only two cars, as it had been with the Model S sedan and the outgoing Roadster, investors could look at the company as a fast-growth, high-risk, high-reward stock that could go to $500 a share.

Reality, unfortunately, bites. At the tail end of 2015, analysts seemed to collectively figure out that although Tesla was an innovative company who shares had risen over 1,000% at one point from the 2010 IPO, Tesla was also a car company whose future resided with building a lot of cars.The shock of this realization quickly set in.

"Tesla's share price may very well increase dramatically over the next four years, as the company ramps up to the 500,000 yearly production target," I wrote. "That will vindicate the calls being made by the biggest Tesla bulls and humiliate the bears."

BUT! 

"If anyone thinks that growth is going to be of the financially frictionless type that tech investors usually love, they're got another thing coming. In fact, in order for Tesla to fulfill its current market cap, in terms of future value, the company is going to have to shovel billions into the enterprise."

Some months later, Elon Musk would reveal that Tesla was in "production hell" at this time, struggling to iron out early production glitches and issues with the Model X, a vehicle whose design Musk pointed to as being an example of "hubris."

Meanwhile, at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, a mysterious new startup, Faraday Future, pulled the cover off an exotic eclectic concept car. Did Tesla have a new competitor on the stage? 

FEBRUARY: Buzz builds for the Model 3, the stock slides, Tesla guides high, and we sample the Model X — with all-new cupholders and "Bioweapon Defense Mode."

Even as Tesla stock was sliding, the drumbeat was beginning for the unveiling of the Model 3 mass-market vehicle, which would sell for around $30,000 after tax breaks and serve up over 200 miles of range on a single charge.

The most critical period in the company's history had dawned. 

"To go from a company building 50,000 cars a year to one building 500,000 annually will be immensely costly and immensely difficult," I wrote. "But it's where Tesla has to go if it wants to achieve Musk's world-changing objective: to accelerate the end of the fossil-fuel era."

While we waited for the Model 3, BI's Ben Zhang and I headed over the Tesla Store in New York's West Chelsea neighborhood and checked out the new Model X. We were impressed, even though we only got to spend about an hour with the vehicle. But during that time, we experienced "Bioweapon Defense Mode" air filtration — which can scrub the atmosphere inside the Model X to hospital grade — and Tesla's brilliant new cupholders.

Tesla reported fourth-quarter and full-year 2015 earnings in February, and although no one expected them to be great, for the quarter they were a disappointingly hefty loss and kept the stock on a downward spiral, nearing a low of $140. 

Todd Snyder wants to sell you his vision of modern American style. And he wants the average guy to be more comfortable choosing it for himself. 

"Being an American menswear designer, I wanted to do something that represented me," Snyder told Business Insider during a tour of his eponymous brand's new store, which opened at 25 E 26th St in New York City in December. "[The] brand really represents the guy who wants to dress better, who wants to look American."

Snyder translates to "tailor" in Dutch, but this designer didn't always want to get into fashion. Snyder originally wanted to be a designer of a different breed — an architect — and only switched to fashion after becoming frustrated with the slow path a career in architecture would require. He went on to design menswear at Ralph Lauren, Gap, and J.Crew, where he eventually became a senior vice president.

But what exactly is American style? To Snyder, it's the "eclectic mix of everything that we know," including British style, streetwear, and everything in between. 

"Clothing is about a feeling," Snyder said. "Otherwise we'd all be walking around in gray sacks and not really give a hoot. We all dress the way we do for a reason. There's emotion built behind it. We want the store to feel that way."

The new store, which opened in December, is a veritable paradise of menswear.

Snyder said that the store was envisioned as a one-stop shop for guys looking to get fashionable clothing, plus anything else they might need. An on-site barbershop and bar area are opening soon, and there's also a space where purchased garments can be tailored.

The store is similar to J.Crew's Liquor Store concept — a new kind of menswear store that Snyder created while he was head of menswear design for the brand. It includes the namesake collection in addition to hand-picked pieces from brands that complement the look.

Humanity is increasingly moving into cities, but the Earth isn't getting any bigger.

That means our apartments are getting smaller, and our living arrangements denser.

Some people get roommates to avoid living in such small spaces. Others, due to poverty or personal obligations, have no choice but to accept their crowded circumstances.

We don't know how they do it, but somehow they make it work.

The INSIDER Summary: 

•Cooking doesn't have to be so difficult. 
•You can be a better chef in just one month. 
•Simple tips like sharpening your knives, trying out new spices, and stocking your freezer with chicken breasts can help you become a better chef.

You want to be one of those home cooks that effortlessly host five-course dinner parties. And can whip up a casserole without a recipe. And never, ever burn pancakes.

We’re here to make your dream a reality in one month. Ready, set, go.

Day 1: Get your knives sharpened

If you can’t effortlessly slice through an avocado, how the heck are you going to make avocado toast for breakfast? Most kitchen and hardware stores will do it for you—sometimes even for free.

Day 2:...And learn to chop an onion (for real)

Cut off the top of the onion and save it for your compost bin. Peel off the outer layers, then chop the entire thing vertically. Next, chop those slices horizontally. Bam, you’re done.

Day 3: Master the art of cooking rice

Always remember the 1:2 ratio. One part rice, two parts water. And don’t forget to add a bit of the secret ingredient before you serve it.

The INSIDER Summary:

• A collection of photos taken by Dr. William Podlich in the 1960s in Afghanistan has been discovered and restored.
• These photos show Afghanistan as a very different country than it is today, and they shed light on what life was like in the area nearly 80 years ago.

The modern West is familiar with Afghanistan as a country that is ravaged by war. But before the US invasion, before the Russian war, and before the country's Marxist experiment, Afghanistan used to be a far different place.

In the 1960s, Afghanistan was actively undergoing a process of modernization and Westernization. People began dressing in western attire, men and women alike attended western-style universities, and cars crowded newly-paved roads. At the same time, Afghanistanis preserved much of traditional Afghanistani culture. 

An astonishing collection of photos from the 1960s captures life in Afghanistan during this unique time.

In the '60s, amateur photographer and college professor Dr. William Podlich took a leave of absence from his job at Arizona State University to work with UNESCO in the Afghan capital of Kabul, bringing his wife and daughters with him. His son-in-law Clayton Esterson found the late doctor's photos in 2013 and put them on the web. The response was amazing.

Esterson told the Denver Post: “Many Afghans have written comments [on our website] showing their appreciation for the photographs that show what their country was like before 33 years of war. This makes the effort to digitize and restore these photographs worthwhile.”

An earlier version of this story appeared on Business Insider.

In the 60s, this blonde attracted looks in a still very conservative Afghanistan.

But many people also wore nice western clothes in the 60s, too.

Afghanistan had a modern military thanks to reforms by King Amanullah Khan in the 1920s.

Navdy, a tiny heads-up display you can pin to your car's dashboard, has gotten a lot of attention recently.

Harman, a major supplier of car infotainment systems, invested in Navdy in December for an undisclosed amount. As part of the investment, Harman will sell a co-branded device directly to automakers, meaning one day you could buy a car that already comes with some form of Navdy's technology.

On top of that, Samsung is acquiring Harman in a deal worth $8 billion as it looks to pivot further into the automotive space following the withdrawal of its explosion-prone Galaxy Note 7 phone. That means a tiny startup's solution for distracted driving is getting backed by some of the biggest names out there.

I tested Navdy during a weekend visit to my childhood home on Long Island — here's what it was like to use:

First, some general information on Navdy itself. Navdy is a heads-up display you can pin to your dashboard so you can see directions projected on a tiny screen within your line of sight. It can also read texts aloud, let you view and accept calls by waving your hand, and remind you of upcoming appointments in your calendar.

Navdy is pricey at $799, though at the time of writing this article the startup by the same name is knocking $200 off the price. You can sign up for free installation or install it yourself using the Navdy's app step-by-step directions — I chose to try the latter.

The box neatly organizes all of Navdy's necessary components. There's the display itself, the mount for the display, a dial that lets you control the display, the power cable, and a battery for the dial.

In the first few days of unemployment, your mind may swirl in a haze of mixed emotions.

Feelings of freedom and endless opportunities can be swiftly replaced with dread, hopelessness, and self-doubt.

Thankfully, keeping a schedule can help you find a job, a renewed purpose, and can alleviate the guilt of enjoying your free time.

This schedule may not be right for everyone, but here's a good jumping-off point for making the most out of unemployment and treating it like a job, instead of a vacation:

7:30 a.m. Wake up and work out

Recent research out of Belgium suggests that working out early in the morning — before you've eaten breakfast — doesn't just help you meet your fitness goals but could even give you more energy than those few extra minutes of shut-eye.

Since you're probably trying to be careful with money while you're unemployed, you might want to put your gym membership on hold and check out a free YouTube workout routine instead.

8:15 a.m. Take a shower

Since we know shower-time often becomes self-reflection time, use this cool-off period to ponder what you want to do going forward.

Deepak Chopra advises leaning into the uncertainty of life and allowing it to open new doors, while other experts suggest considering your strengths, likes and dislikes, and what kind of work environment excites you most.

8:30 a.m. Eat a healthy breakfast outside, if you can

Various research suggests eating within an hour of waking boosts your mood and mind, and exposure to natural light in the morning tells your body to stop producing melatonin, a hormone that makes you sleepy. Light is also a natural antidepressant. Try taking your morning meal outside, or at the very least near a window so you can soak up some natural rays.

Taylor Hackford is a veteran director who, over his 45-plus-year career has created some of Hollywood's most memorable works.

Finding notice in the late 1970s by winning an Oscar for his short film “Teenage Father,” he’s gone on to direct notable titles including “An Officer and a Gentleman” and “Ray.” But he’s also been able to work with two of the best living actors of all time.

His latest movie, “The Comedian” (in theaters nationwide on Friday), stars Robert De Niro as an aging insult comic trying to stay relevant. This comes 19 years after he worked with Al Pacino in the steamy thriller “The Devil’s Advocate,” in which Pacino plays the devil.

Not many directors have had the distinction of working with both De Niro and Pacino in their careers.

Hackford talked to Business Insider about working with the two legends.

Taking charge of a De Niro passion project.

Robert De Niro had been trying to make “The Comedian” for years. Martin Scorsese was even going to direct it at one time. But last year, after another project fell through for Hackford, he got the call to come on and shoot “The Comedian.”

He admits he wasn’t instantly sold since he knew it was a De Niro passion project, but he accepted and found out working with the actor was “a dream.”

“De Niro really respects directors,” Hackford said. “He encouraged me every step of the way to take charge. That’s a gift. He wants direction.”

Pacino gave him the greatest improv performance he’s ever seen.

Hackford notes that both De Niro and Pacino are very dedicated in their preparation before filming begins. But there’s also room for spontaneity.

Before shooting the end of "The Devil's Advocate," in which Pacino’s character reveals he’s the devil, Hackford asked Pacino and his costar Keanu Reeves to improv the scene.

“I told them to forget the text, just feel the room, and I saw Pacino walk in and do the most incredible improv I’ve ever seen in my life,” Hackford said. “Out of the middle of nowhere he stars to sing, ‘I met her in Monterey, in old Mexico,’ and that’s from an old Frank Sinatra song I hadn’t heard in 30 years. I said, ‘Where the hell did that come from?’ and he said, ‘I don’t know, I just felt like singing it.’”

Hackford put that moment in the final version of the scene, but instead of Pacino singing, he dubbed it with Sinatra singing.

“I thought, the devil could sound like Sinatra if he wants to,” he said.

De Niro is no slouch at improv, either.

In “The Comedian,” Hackford points out that De Niro had to be quick on the draw, as he was placed in situations with major comedians who never stayed on script.

“We made the film in 27 days and I didn’t do a lot of takes. I wanted spontaneity,” Hackford said. “Bob had to respond, and there’s some real moments I’m so proud of. The Friars Club scene with Cloris Leachman, she was throwing zingers that De Niro wasn’t ready for, but he responded right on the spot. Then the scene with comic Jessica Krison, the general framework was that De Niro and Leslie Mann were going to walk through the shot, but what Jessica and Bob did was all riffing, that scene is all improv.”

London-based fund of funds LCH Investments, a subsidiary of Edmond de Rothschild Capital Holdings Limited, just released its annual top 20 "most successful money managers" list for 2016.

January Domestic: Los Angeles

You can save 33 percent on hotels in the city of angels this month, when the nightly average rate for four-star properties dips down to $212—the lowest all year. Spend the leftover cash on hot restaurants, like Trois Familia (by Ludo Lefebvre and the guys from Animal) or Otium, an ambitious new spot attached to the just-opened Broad Museum.

January International: Melbourne

Visiting Melbourne in January means you can take advantage of low rates between the Christmas rush and the Australian Open, both of which draw tons of travelers. The average room goes for $150 in peak season—already a good deal—but going now means you can book a great place to stay for roughly $112 per night.

February Domestic: Honolulu

Cindy Whitehead, the serial entrepreneur who built the company behind the "female Viagra," has a new venture aimed at helping women avoid the pitfalls that nearly ended her career.

In August 2015, a little pink pill designed to boost women's sex drives was approved by the Food and Drug Administration. The next day, Whitehead sold the company behind the drug to a pharma giant for $1 billion. That's when everything fell apart.

The buyer, Valeant Pharmaceuticals, became embroiled in scandal forjacking up the prices on some of its drugs. It doubled the cost of Addyi, the libido pill, which some say is the reason it never found its footing in the market. Whitehead stepped down as CEO in 2015.

In an interview with Business Insider, Whitehead said she's since turned her focus to helping female founders make breakthroughs of their own. The Pinkubator, which opens February 1, is a startup incubator based in Raleigh, North Carolina, where entrepreneurs will launch new products and companies under the guidance of Whitehead and handpicked mentors. 

Take a look inside.

SEE ALSO: The woman behind 'female Viagra' sold her company for $1 billion — that's when everything fell apart

The Pinkubator is no ordinary startup accelerator.

For starters, it was built with the money Whitehead made from selling her last startup, Sprout Pharmaceuticals, which was responsible for the "female Viagra."

Whitehead hopes to leverage her own experience to help female founders find success.

"Being in this position, the best way to pay it forward is to say 'I stepped on that mine. Step left,'" Whitehead told Business Insider in October. "You've been there. You've done that. And hopefully they're advantaged by your own experiences — successes and failures."

Whitehead describes the Pinkubator as a membership service for women-led or women-focused businesses, which means men can join if their startups are relevant to women's needs.

Entrepreneurs can join for $500 a month, or $99 for access to mentorship, networking events, and special pricing on brand-building services, without the office space.

When Blake Lively stepped into the limelight back in 2005, everyone knew she'd make it big.

Her performance in "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" was only the beginning. After landing a starring role on the CW's steamy new show "Gossip Girl" in 2008, she became the talk of the town and starting making waves in the fashion world off-set.

The actress became friends to several of fashion's biggest names, including Anna Wintour and Karl Lagerfeld, who clearly adored her bold fashion choices. She's also been to the biggest runway shows, donned the most expensive couture, and even had chic designer labels throw intimate gatherings in her honor. 

Here's Blake Lively's fashion evolution over 12 years:

When Justin Timberlake first hit the scene in 2000, he was just another boy band member. Since then, he's become the man to watch after many hit songs and movies, not to mention his adorable marriage with actress Jessica Biel.

But let's never forget the old Justin Timberlake — the one who walked red carpets with popstar Britney Spears, had ramen noodle hair, and made some questionable fashion choices.

The world without JT would be a sadder place. Here's his style evolution, from start to finish:

Much of America's charm is predicated on small-town life. It's community-oriented, nostalgic, and generally more affordable than living in a big city.

In its October-November print issue, AARP The Magazine highlights 10 great hometowns for anyone on a modest budget of $40,000 a year. (See the shorter online version here).

To create the list, the magazine teamed up with Sperling's Best Places, which focuses on quality-of-life research, to determine a livability index, factoring in metrics on housing affordability, access to work and recreation, transportation, healthcare, and safety. Each city on the list has a score above the average livability index score of 50.

Beyoncé is a music and fashion icon.

From her start in Destiny's Child to solo domination, Queen Bey has had an incredibly successful career. In addition to her musical prowess, she has evolved into a trendsetter. The singer has dabbled in the fashion industry, introducing a fashion line in 2005 with her mother and a junior line in 2009. Her most recent venture was her activewear line, Ivy Park.

She also nailed her pregnancy style when she was pregnant with her daugther Blue Ivy in 2011, and the world can't wait to see how Beyoncé will dress now that she's pregnant with twins.

Here are 37 photos that show Beyoncé's fashion evolution over the past 15 years:

In 2001, Destiny's Child (Michelle Williams, Beyoncé Knowles, and Kelly Rowland) posed in sparkly blue outfits resembling the ones worn by the Destiny's Child dolls they were holding up.

Beyoncé showed her support for the Lakers during a halftime show with Destiny's Child in 2001.

When planning for retirement, many people solely focus on how much they'll need in the bank.

But where you choose to settle down plays a huge role as well. You want a place that's safe, affordable, and full of retiree-friendly amenities.

A recent study by personal-finance site WalletHub ranked the best and worst states to retire in, taking into account cost of living, quality of life, and access to healthcare. 

To determine the best places to retire, WalletHub scored each state across three categories: affordability (40%), quality of life (30%), and healthcare (30%). Each evaluation took 31 metrics into consideration, looking at everything from cost of living to population demographics to healthcare facilities per capita. Read a full breakdown of the methodology here. 

Unsurprisingly, Florida topped the list, likely thanks to its low cost of living, warm weather, and proximity to golf courses and beaches. The Midwest dominated as well, with South Dakota, Iowa, and Wisconsin all claiming spots in the top 10.

While most people are split on who will win Super Bowl LI between the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons, most agree that it should be a good game. That means we are likely to see one or two plays that will go down in Super Bowl history as being among the best ever.

Still, we will have to wait and see if any are worthy of cracking the list of the top top ten plays in Super Bowl history.

ESPN recently compiled their list of the best Super Bowl plays. While we may quibble over the exact order, it would seem that the vast majority of fans would include most of these plays in their own top ten, if not in the same order.

There are a number of habits that put us at greater risk of cancer — and almost as many things we can do to decrease that risk. 

But knowing what those habits are can be a bit more difficult, especially with new evidence coming in all the time clarifying what we know — and don't know — about those risks.

To help get a sense of what the public knows, the American Institute for Cancer Research surveyed about 1,000 people about whether or not certain factors had an effect on whether a person develops cancer.

In a new report out Wednesday, the AICR detailed the cancer risks Americans are good at identifying, the ones they're not so good at knowing, and the ones they tend to get wrong.

GMOs — no conclusive link to cancer

Genetically modified organisms have been controversial, but there haven't been any conclusive links between GMOs and cancer, Alice Bender, the head of nutrition programs at the AICR, told Business Insider. 

Even though that link has been inclonclusive, 54% of those surveyed believed eating GMOs had a significant impact on whether a person develops cancer. 

Beef hormones — no conclusive link to cancer

The same holds true for hormones in beef, another case where there isn't enough evidence to link them to an increased cancer risk. 

Still, 52% of those that responded to the survey said they believed that hormones in beef have a significant impact on whether a person develops cancer. 

Diets high in fat and sugar — no conclusive link to cancer

The links between diets high in fat or high in sugar are inconclusive so far, according to AICR. When it comes to sugar in particular, diets high in the substance have been linked to obesity, an established cancer risk. But on its own, the evidence isn't quite there — especially when it comes to claims that sugar can lead to cancer spreading more quickly (sugar feeds all cells, not cancer cells disproportionately, according to the MDAnderson Cancer Center).   

Though the link isn't proven, 44% of those surveyed said they believed a diet high in fat had a significant impact on whether a person develops cancer, and 28% said the same about sugar.
