The long Memorial Day weekend is a great time to dive into some top movies on the best streaming services, and when it comes to Prime Video, the platform’s top 10 most-watched list is a […]
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: A dysfunctional family carries out a dangerous criminal enterprise in a remote, but very picturesque, community. No, I’m not talking about “Ozark”; I’m referring to “The Waterfront,” […]
Sometimes the simplest ideas on paper are the most successful in practice. Take 2019’s “Cold Pursuit” as an example. This elevator pitch for this action-thriller movie is relatively straightforward: Liam Neeson on a revenge quest […]
Looking over the Prime Video top 10 this week has caused an unwelcome flashback. The rotating ranking of the most-watched movies on the popular streaming service has made me recall the summer of 2013 when […]
There’s something for everybody in the new movies arriving across the biggest streaming services this week, with everything from a screwball sci-fi comedy to a sobering drama set on the Las Vegas strip. While I […]
I don’t have a fear of heights — or at least, I didn’t until I watched “Fall.” This survival thriller about two young climbers stranded at the top of a skyscraper-sized TV tower is so […]
If I asked you to name a Netflix original sci-fi anthology show, there’s a good chance your mind would go straight to “Black Mirror.” But for me, the top contender in this (admittedly pretty niche) […]
I lost countless hours in my teenage years watching (and rewatching) the “Final Destination” movies. After more than a decade, I’m thrilled to see it make its grand return with “Final Destination: Bloodlines” set to […]
It’s set to be a big week of new movies across the best streaming services. This week marks the home debut of one of the biggest movies of the year, as you can now enjoy […]
I’m not usually one to be shy about expressing my opinions on movies. As my recent, let’s just say controversial, review of “Havoc” proved, I’ve no problem going against the grain when I really like […]
Earlier this year, Apple TV Plus renewed its hit original “Ted Lasso” for a surprise season 4, but I didn’t join the throngs of viewers cheering for the return of the Jason Sudeikis-fronted soccer series. […]
The Prime Video top 10 is a great starting point when looking for something new to watch on Amazon’s popular streaming service. It offers a quick snapshot of all the movies currently drawing the most […]
Britain is well-known for producing beloved comedy partnerships, and there are very few finer than the pairing of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. The duo starred together in the fan-favorite Cornetto trilogy (comprising “Shaun of […]
April at the movies was all about the breakout success of “Sinners.” It’s a fantastic film, no doubt about it, but in all the adoration showered upon Ryan Coogler’s high-octane vampire-horror, another (equally impressive) movie […]
It’s a good week to be a Netflix or Hulu subscriber as both streaming services are offering up a pair of new movies you won’t want to miss. There are also new arrivals on premium […]
“Bullet Train Explosion’s” reign as the best train-set movie on Netflix really didn’t last very long. Just a couple of weeks later, the streaming service has now added “Train to Busan” to its expansive library, […]
Netflix has confirmed its slate of new movies for May 2025, and it’s a pretty exciting list, including several highly-regarded films that span different genres. Every month, I sort through the new to Netflix list […]
I consider myself pretty knowledgeable when it comes to new movie releases. After all, it’s literally part of my job to stay on top of all the new flicks heading to theatres and streaming each […]
Calling a new thriller a “modern-day Hitchcock movie” is one of the most flattering compliments you can dish out. The legendary director wasn’t known as the “Master of Suspense” for nothing. And Christopher Landon’s “Drop” […]
It’s set to be a busy week for top new movies across the best streaming services. While Netflix is sitting this one out, its rivals are taking the opportunity to fill the void with Prime […]
I’m not a betting person, but if I were, I’d be staking a lot of money that Netflix’s “Sirens” is going to be the streaming service‘s next big original TV hit. This dark comedy premieres […]
As we barrel towards the end of April, we’re almost a third of the way through the year. Now is the perfect time to take stock of the year in streaming to date. Specifically, I’m […]
Like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches or Bert and Ernie, some combinations just work. Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg teaming up for a buddy cop action-comedy? Yup, that’s another pairing that feels natural. 2013’s “2 […]
I’m especially excited about this week’s new movies across the best streaming services. That’s because we’re finally set to see the debut of an action-thriller I’ve been waiting for since early 2021, Netflix’s “Havoc.” This […]
It’s set to be another busy week for new movies arriving across the best streaming services with platforms including Netflix, Max and Hulu offering subscribers new additions to watch. Perhaps the biggest newcomer of the […]
We’re more than a third of the way through 2025 and now is a great time to take stock of which Netflix movies have claimed the No. 1 spot this year. As of this week, […]
Every week, I sort through all the new releases across the best streaming services and premium video-on-demand platforms and pick out the most exciting movies worth watching. This week is a slightly underwhelming slate, but […]
Ryan Gosling is one the finest actors currently working in Hollywood. The Ontario native will forever be known to many people for his iconic role as Ken in the “Barbie” movie, but for me, Gosling […]
I’ve been an obsessive cinephile pretty much my entire life (don’t believe me? I saw more than 100 movies in theatres last year!), and every month, I comb through Netflix’s slate of new movies and […]
As March draws to a close it marks the quarter point of 2025. Now is a great time to take stock of the year so far, and the chance to reflect on all the best […]
I comb through the movies arriving across the best streaming services every week. This week has offered some heavy-hitters like “Mufasa: The Lion King” heading to Disney Plus or Prime Video’s debuting a new original […]
Prime Video’s new mystery thriller “Holland” is the streaming service’s best new original movie of 2025 so far. That probably sounds like a gushing compliment, but don’t misunderstand my intentions; it’s as backhanded as praise […]
If there’s one thing you can depend on when an Amazon sales event rolls around it’s big discounts on the retailer’s own product range. Amazon’s Big Spring Sale hasn’t bucked that trend, and right now […]
This week’s slate of new movies across the best streaming service is shaping up nicely with flicks that should appeal to all tastes arriving on popular platforms including Netflix, Prime Video and Disney Plus. My […]
Sci-fi action flick “The Electric State” landed on Netflix last week, and within less than 24 hours, had already claimed the No. 1 spot in the streaming service’s top 10 list. As one of the […]
Netflix has confirmed its slate of movies being removed in March 2025 and there’s good news and bad goods. The good news is that the quantity of movies leaving the streaming service’s content library this […]
“Promising Young Woman” hit me like a lightning bolt when I saw it for the first time upon its initial release in 2020. Yes, the twisted narrative gripped me and offered plenty of entertainment, but […]
You might think scoring a No. 1 rank in Netflix’s top 10 most-watched list is something of a guarantee of quality — but that’s certainly not the case. I’ve been tracking the Netflix charts daily […]
It’s been an excellent start to the year for thriller fans. The likes of “Companion” and “Black Bag” seem surefire bets to be among the best in the genre in 2025, and that’s just the […]
There are plenty of new movies to enjoy across the best streaming services this week. Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu and Max are offering subscribers new flicks, and there are also some noteworthy additions on premium […]
Sometimes great movies don’t get the attention they deserve, and that was definitely the case with 2016’s “Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping.” This genius musical mockumentary is up there with “This is Spinal Tap” as […]
