Recently added to Hulu Hellraiser r 2022 Mass pg-13 2021 I, Tonya r 2017 Fantastic Mr. Fox pg 2009 Derek DelGaudio's In & Of Itself pg-13 2020 Gold r 2022 Hellraiser (2022) new Trailer r 121m Genre Horror, Mystery Stars Odessa A'zion, Jamie Clayton, Adam Faison Directed by David Bruckner watch on Hulu watch on Hulu It’s about time the world of Hellraiser received some much-needed reimagining. For years now, the franchise has seen sequel after sequel, and while Cenobite fans are always pleased to see Doug Bradley donning his Pinhead garb, the series has certainly run into its fair share of cinematic duds. But director David Bruckner has come along to get the saga on track once more. The 2022 remake stars Odessa A’zion as Riley, an on-the-mend drug addict who comes into the possession of a runic puzzle box — a mysterious device that summons an armada of hellish entities. Led by the Hell Priest (Jamie Clayton), Odessa is plunged into a fight for survival when the demonic visitors begin wreaking havoc in the real world. Bruckner’s Hellraiser reboot may not satisfy all of the saga’s diehards, but when you consider it as a gruesome yet polished homage to Clive Barker’s source novella and first batch of films, the 2022 version more than gets the job done.

Portraying the titular character, Rosaline is crushed when her cousin Juliet (Isabela Merced) finds the man of her dreams in the dashing Romeo (Kyle Allen), who just so happens to be Rosaline’s ex. Fueled by jealousy, Rosaline decides to let her fiery emotions burn bridges and more as she sets out on a dizzying and humorous quest to win back her lost love. Both the film and source text are inspired by Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and The Taming of the Shrew, and Dever does a fantastic job at driving home this kinetic tale about wearing your emotions on your sleeve and following your heart, no matter the cost.

With a core cast made up of Reed Birney, Ann Dowd, Jason Isaacs, and Martha Plimpton, the players portray two married couples who agree to meet together to discuss a tragedy that befell their sons years before. As emotions run wild and devastation leads the mutual dialogue, it becomes clear that old wounds have yet to mend and heal — and perhaps never will. Mass assumes a methodical and thoughtful approach to the tribulations suffered by each set of grieving parents, delivering a narrative that demands we trudge forward through the thick of the human experience, wading alongside the onscreen talents. Read less Read more MASS Official Trailer Bleecker Street I, Tonya (2017) new Trailer 77 % 7.5/10 r 120m Genre Drama Stars Margot Robbie, Sebastian Stan, Julianne Nicholson Directed by Craig Gillespie watch on Hulu watch on Hulu I, Tonya is one of those exceptional sports biopics that strips away the generalized “rags to riches” backbone in favor of something a bit more elevated, unusual, and thought-provoking. And if not for its incredible core cast, with the undeniable Margot Robbie as the titular figure skater, some of the film’s more radical elements would probably fall flat. Employing a “mockumentary” style, I, Tonya presents a retrospective of Hardings’ career, wherein the lens frames the subject as a victim of sorts, almost in an attempt to distance Harding from her ex-husband’s (Sebastian Stan) infamous 1994 attack on Nancy Kerrigan (Caitlin Carver), one of Tonya’s skating rivals. Repeatedly breaking the fourth wall as we the viewer are presented with a disclaimer-led extrapolation of one of America’s most headline-heavy sports stories, I, Tonya finds its greatest strengths by looking and behaving unlike any other biopic that came before it. Read less Read more Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) new Trailer 83 % 7.9/10 pg 87m Genre Adventure, Animation, Comedy, Family Stars George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Jason Schwartzman Directed by Wes Anderson watch on Hulu watch on Hulu An iconic auteur unlike any other, writer-director Wes Anderson may be best-recognized for the painstaking production design of his films, where his personal brand of mise en scène is always front and center. And while the craftsman’s love of symmetry-driven shots and sets is certainly prevalent in his live action films, Anderson’s unpacking of the stop-motion medium is just as alluring, especially in the world of Fantastic Mr. Fox. Based on the 1970 Roald Dahl novel of the same name, the story follows the life and times of the titular orange-white protagonist (voiced by George Clooney). Tiring of simple life and repression in the burrow, Mr. Fox decides to go full Robin Hood, stealing from a host of local farmers, which puts the landowners on the trail of the capering character and his family and friends. Presented as a storybook-driven hero’s journey, Fantastic Mr. Fox opts for a high-brow approach, favoring witty humor and dialogue, that scores big for parental audiences, while delivering plenty of kaleidoscopic visuals and softer jokes to delight all the younger viewers, too. Read less Read more I Think We're Alone Now (2018) Trailer 51 % 5.7/10 r 100m Genre Science Fiction, Drama, Mystery Stars Peter Dinklage, Elle Fanning, Paul Giamatti Directed by Reed Morano watch on Hulu watch on Hulu Have you ever heard of the classic Twilight Zone episode “Time Enough at Last” about a book-loving bank teller who finds solace in a post-apocalypse rid of humanity, but filled with plenty of excellent reading material? While the “last man on Earth” narrative has received plenty of cinematic attention over the years, each stab at the formula may be traced back to Burgess Meredith’s Twilight Zone episode, with 2018’s I Think We’re Alone Now serving as yet another homage to it. Peter Dinklage stars as Del, a man who embraces a life of solitude in the wake of a global pandemic that has seemingly eradicated the rest of mankind. That is until one fateful day, when a woman named Grace (Elle Fanning) arrives, disrupting Del’s idyllically quiet day-to-day. In I Think We’re Alone Now, director Reed Morano creates a world where isolation is less a curse and more a blessing, where companionship begins as an adversarial force and slowly unravels into something potentially more meaningful. Read less Read more Alien (1979) Trailer 89 % 8.5/10 r 117m Genre Horror, Science Fiction Stars Sigourney Weaver, Tom Skerritt, Ian Holm Directed by Ridley Scott watch on Hulu watch on Hulu British director Ridley Scott is responsible for some of the most epic box-office sensations of the last few decades, and if it wasn’t for the smashing success of his 1979 film Alien, it’s quite possible we wouldn’t have movies like Blade Runner, Gladiator, and Black Hawk Down. Sigourney Weavers stars as Ripley, one of the crew of the commercial space vessel known as the Nostromo. When the space-bound ship receives a distress signal from an in-proximity moon, the Nostromo team is tasked with investigating the beacon, only to discover a dilapidated alien ship on the surface of the lunar body. Investigating the vessel, the Nostromo crew discovers a large cavity filled with extraterrestrial eggs, one of which infamously hatches, revealing a horrific creature that impregnates a crew member, leading to one of the biggest cinema shocks of all time and a deadly cat-and-mouse game with a terrifying otherworldly adversary.

Directed by John McTiernan, the story follows Dutch (Arnold Schwarzenegger), a Vietnam war vet hired by the American government to carry out a search-and-rescue effort in Central America. But when Dutch and his cohorts set out on their mission, they soon realize they’re in for much more than they bargained for when an invisible extraterrestrial foe turns up and begins hunting them down. Packed with invigorating action, cutting-edge special effects for the time, and some iconic bits of dialogue that continue to be quoted to this day, Predator is a popcorn classic for the ages.

Who are we? Why are we here? Where are we going next? And while cinema is often used as a philosophical medium through which we can explore such inquiries through fiction and nonfiction lenses, such introspection has never been captured like it has in Derek Delgaudio’s mesmerizing documentary/stage spectacle In & Of Itself. Directed by Frank Oz, Delgaudio’s work combines elements of traditional stage performance and unconventional narrative structure to deliver a filmic spectacle that is hard to describe but impossible to forget. Read less Read more Derek DelGaudio's In & Of Itself - Trailer (Official) • A Hulu Original The Last Duel (2021) Trailer 67 % 7.4/10 r 153m Genre Action, Drama, History Stars Matt Damon, Adam Driver, Jodie Comer Directed by Ridley Scott watch on Hulu watch on Hulu When it’s a multi-million-dollar historical blockbuster you need, Ridley Scott is the man that you call for the job. And in 2021, 20th Century Studios beckoned for the British savant to deliver his auteur magic for a major motion picture called The Last Duel. The ensemble cast includes Adam Driver, Matt Damon, Jodie Comer, and Ben Affleck, and the time and place is France during the Hundred Years’ War. When respected noble Jacques Le Gris (Driver) makes unwanted advances on the wife (Comer) of a cherished knight (Damon), the warrior’s spouse doesn’t remain silent, rallying the kingdom and setting off a chain of events that all lead up to the last-recorded duel in French history. Defiantly acted and beautifully shot, The Last Duel treads narrative waters we’ve all seen before. But with Scott at the helm, a certain kind of sincerity and narrative intelligence rise to the surface. Read less Read more This Mountain Life (2018) 7.2/10 77m Genre Documentary Stars Simon Beck, Martina Halik, Tania Halik Directed by Grant Baldwin watch on Hulu watch on Hulu This Mountain Life is the kind of documentary film that exposes viewers to treacherous, isolated environments where geographically remote livelihoods are par for the course and tundra survival is as second-nature as putting milk in your cereal. Released in 2018, director Grant Baldwin’s thought-provoking film explores the lives of British Columbia residents living in and around the region’s mountainous landscapes. The subjects include a mother and daughter pairing who are looking to undertake a significant traversing of the local Coast Mountains area. A philosophical deep-dive into what it takes to be one with your land and hills, This Mountain Life is up there with the best deeply-pondered Herzog nature docs and National Geographic specials. Read less Read more Dinner in America (2022) Trailer 80 % 7.2/10 r 106m Genre Comedy, Drama, Music Stars Kyle Gallner, Emily Skeggs, Pat Healy Directed by Adam Rehmeier watch on Hulu watch on Hulu It’s not often that you see the punk rock music genre getting any kind of cinematic limelight (sans films like Her Smell and Green Room), but even less so when the film genre of choice is an indie rom-com. Such is the case, though, with writer-director Adam Carter Rehmeir’s 2020 film Dinner in America, and the results are pretty great. Starring Kyle Gallner and Emily Skeggs as a singer and his band’s devoted fan, our story follows the star-crossed lovers as they travel around the lesser-seen suburbs and pervading urban sprawl of the American Midwest. If you’ve seen Garden State or Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist, picture these two films being tossed into a blender with a healthy bit of rated-R this and that for extra punch, and you’re probably at least halfway to the look, feel, and budgetary, off-the-cuff sensibilities of Dinner in America. Read less Read more Dinner in America - Official Trailer (2022) Kyle Gallner, Emily Skeggs Cowboys & Aliens (2011) Trailer 50 % 6/10 pg-13 119m Genre Action, Science Fiction, Thriller, Western Stars Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde Directed by Jon Favreau watch on Hulu watch on Hulu Cowboys & Aliens follows a man named Jake Lonergan (Daniel Craig), a memory-depraved Wild West type with a mysterious metallic brace locked onto his wrist. After a chance encounter with some extraterrestrial monsters, Jake finds himself in the nomadic Old West outpost of Absolution, a township reigned over by the nefarious Col. Dolarhyde (Harrison Ford). But when the marauding creatures descend on the one-horse civilization, it’s up to Jake and his companions to fend off the otherworldly foes before it’s too late. Cowboys & Aliens presents an arresting blend of genre elements, with sci-fi and action tropes leading the charge, and it makes for excellent popcorn cinema you don’t want to miss. Read less Read more Cowboys & Aliens (2011) Trailer #1 Movieclips Classic Trailers Fight Club (1999) Trailer 66 % 8.8/10 r 139m Genre Drama Stars Edward Norton, Brad Pitt, Helena Bonham Carter Directed by David Fincher watch on Hulu watch on Hulu After the success of Seven and The Game, director David Fincher went on to hone a critically acclaimed adaptation of the Chuck Palahniuk novel Fight Club. Edward Norton stars as an unnamed narrator who works a depressing office job and is a consumer culture obsessive. His life is forever changed after meeting Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt), a charismatic soap salesman, on a flight. When the narrator returns home to find out his entire apartment was burned to the ground, he links up with Tyler. After an impromptu fistfight in a parking lot (demanded by Durden), the machismo thrill leads the two men to start Fight Club, an underground fighting ring that slowly evolves into a vigilante task force of epic proportions. A gripping and visceral cinematic rendering of Palahniuk’s source text, Fight Club stands tall as a raw and triumphant film over 25 years after it first hit theaters. Read less Read more Hook (1991) Trailer 52 % 6.8/10 pg 142m Genre Adventure, Fantasy, Comedy, Family Stars Dustin Hoffman, Robin Williams, Julia Roberts Directed by Steven Spielberg watch on Hulu watch on Hulu When the dastardly Captain Hook (Dustin Hoffman) makes off with his three children, a now-adult Peter Banning (Robin Williams) is forced to return to Neverland to reclaim his family, along with his menagerie of lost memories, all of which are centered around the boy he used to be — the cunning, witty, and ever-so-nimble Peter Pan. Let’s not pretend that Hook is cinema gold. But there’s truly something in the performances here. Robin Williams is a particular standout, wearing his heart on his sleeve as a simple father looking to return his children to their rightful home, all while undergoing a reverse coming-of-age experience. Read less Read more Big (1988) Trailer 73 % 7.3/10 pg 104m Genre Fantasy, Drama, Comedy, Romance, Family Stars Tom Hanks, Elizabeth Perkins, Robert Loggia Directed by Penny Marshall watch on Hulu watch on Hulu In director Penny Marshall’s Big, Tom Hanks stars as Josh Baskin, a once-12-year-old boy (David Moscow) who feels let down after being told he’s too short to ride a carnival ride. After wishing to be “big” at an unplugged Zoltar machine, the apparatus mysteriously springs to life, printing a ticket that tells Josh his wish is granted. Fast-forward to the next morning, when Josh wakes up as a 30-year-old version of himself. What ensues is a heartfelt and humorous odyssey, one in which Josh receives a job at a New York toy company, finds his first love (Elizabeth Perkins), and longs for his childhood once more when the throes of adulting become too much to bear. Showcasing Hanks in all his charismatic glory, the actor soars above and beyond as the wily and wonder-filled Josh. Read less Read more Big (1988) Trailer #1 Movieclips Classic Trailers Meet the Parents (2000) Trailer 73 % 7/10 pg-13 108m Genre Comedy, Romance Stars Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro, Teri Polo Directed by Jay Roach watch on Hulu watch on Hulu The Meet the Parents trilogy (made up of Meet the Parents, Meet the Fockers, and Little Fockers) actually finds its roots in a 1992 indie film of the same name. The studio iteration features Ben Stiller as Greg Focker, a Chicago nurse intending to propose to his girlfriend, Pam (Teri Polo), around the time of her sister’s wedding. But Greg is ill-prepared for the domineering and discerning tendencies of Pam’s father, Jack (Robert De Niro), a patriarch hellbent on protecting his daughter by dressing down and berating every guy she brings home. As Greg does whatever he can to try and win over Jack and other members of the family, things continually (and hilariously) do not go his way, endangering his planned proposal. Read less Read more Short Circuit (1986) 50 % 6.6/10 pg 98m Genre Comedy, Family, Science Fiction Stars Ally Sheedy, Steve Guttenberg, Fisher Stevens Directed by John Badham watch on Hulu watch on Hulu When a military-commissioned android (voiced by Tim Blaney) becomes sentient from a bolt of lightning, the robot flees the laboratory and takes up residence with Stephanie (Ally Sheedy), an animal caregiver living in Oregon. With Stephanie’s assistance, the bot continues to adapt and learn, coming to grips with life, death, love, laughing, dancing, and a myriad of other human experiences. But as the now-named “Number Five” begins to comfortably acclimate to the idea of existence, officials from his robotics birthplace start encroaching with plans to decommission and reboot the electrical wonder. Riding on the coattails of films like ET, Short Circuit borrows heavily from familiar sci-fi mash-ups but presents a number of its own explorative concepts and a pretty solid look for Number Five. Read less Read more The Social Network (2010) Trailer 95 % 7.8/10 pg-13 121m Genre Drama Stars Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, Justin Timberlake Directed by David Fincher watch on Hulu watch on Hulu Aaron Sorkin is a master of screenwriting, particularly when it comes to non-fictional extrapolations of some of a zeitgeist’s most significant moments. Thus, there couldn’t have been a better man for the job when it came time to adapt Ben Mezrich’s 2009 book The Accidental Billionaires about the formative years of a little social media platform called Facebook and the personal and professional fallout that occurred amongst the site’s founders. Jesse Eisenberg stars as Mark Zuckerberg, with Andrew Garfield as Eduardo Saverin, Justin Timberlake as Napster’s Sean Parker, and a host of other incredible talents portraying the many movers and shakers of the web-powered phenomena that shook the nation. The Social Network was directed by David Fincher, a fitting auteur figure for the towering subject matter and a perfect pairing for the buttressing of Sorkin’s amazing script. Read less Read more Pleasantville (1998) Trailer 71 % 7.5/10 pg-13 124m Genre Fantasy, Comedy, Drama Stars Tobey Maguire, Reese Witherspoon, William H. Macy Directed by Gary Ross watch on Hulu watch on Hulu Teenaged siblings David (Tobey Maguire) and Jennifer (Reese Witherspoon) couldn’t be more different. While Jennifer is an extroverted and judgmental marauder of teenage life, David is content to spend his days dedicated to the family television — specifically, a ’50s prime-time program called Pleasantville. It’s a show much in the same vein as Leave it to Beaver that explores the life and times of the picture-perfect Parker family. One night, the siblings enter into an argument that results in them accidentally breaking the TV remote. But when a mystical TV repairman shows up unannounced, he provides David and Jennifer with a new remote that magically transports them into the world of Pleasantville. As the siblings begin acclimating to the idyllic world of the show, a series of events, inspired by Jennifer’s penchant for shaking things up, begins to change the black-and-white setting into color-filled set pieces, a visual metaphor for the emotional unwinding of the townsfolk. Pleasantville presents a funny and heartfelt narrative, one that subtly takes a satirical stab at the rose-colored world of family values and a number of coming-of-age motifs. Read less Read more The Art of Self-Defense (2019) Trailer 65 % 6.6/10 r 104m Genre Comedy, Thriller Stars Jesse Eisenberg, Alessandro Nivola, Imogen Poots Directed by Riley Stearns watch on Hulu watch on Hulu In director Riley Stearns’ The Art of Self Defense, Jesse Eisenberg stars as Casey, an everyman who has a rough encounter on the streets that changes his life forever. Deciding to channel his inner beast, Casey joins a local dojo led by a bizarre yet charismatic sensei (Alessandro Nivola). Preaching a practice of unforgiving violence and machismo mantras, Casey must carefully navigate this newfound world of punches and kicks while grasping onto whatever traces of human dignity he has left. A searing, darkly comedic look at the senseless world of toxic masculinity, The Art of Self Defense is packed with twists, turns, and a fair amount of laughs, too. Read less Read more THE ART OF SELF DEFENSE Official Trailer All Light, Everywhere (2021) Trailer 76 % 6.9/10 109m Genre Documentary Stars Theo Anthony, Keaver Brenai Directed by Theo Anthony watch on Hulu watch on Hulu Do you ever feel like you’re being watched? Well, with the increase in seeing-eye technology the world-over, it’s no wonder you’re feeling like there are always eyes on you. This very subject is on full display in director Theo Anthony’s riveting documentary All Light, Everywhere. Tracing the history of surveillance through a mosaic of off-the-wall visuals and more traditional formalism, Anthony delivers a mesmerizing film that unpacks the underlying power structures that rule the world behind the lens. It’s insightful, unusual, and certainly unforgettable. Read less Read more ALL LIGHT, EVERYWHERE - Official Trailer Small Engine Repair (2021) Trailer 57 % 6.5/10 r 102m Genre Drama, Thriller, Comedy Stars Jon Bernthal, Shea Whigham, Jordana Spiro Directed by John Pollono watch on Hulu watch on Hulu Adapted from the award-winning play of the same name, Small Engine Repair stars John Bollono (also the director, writer, and original playwright), Jon Bernthal, and Shea Whigham as Frankie, Swaino, and Packie, longtime New England buddies who meet up one night at an off-the-grid repair shop. Brought together by Frankie and his teenage daughter, Crystal (Ciara Bravo), what the lads thought would be an evening of catching up and good fun quickly unravels into a devilish plot, with Crystal at the helm. Funny, bold, and powered by an entourage of must-watch performances, Small Engine Repair is everything we love about indie filmmaking packed into a solid 90-minute-plus feature. Read less Read more Love & Mercy (2015) Trailer 80 % 7.4/10 pg-13 120m Genre Drama, Music, History Stars Paul Dano, John Cusack, Elizabeth Banks Directed by Bill Pohlad watch on Hulu watch on Hulu As an onscreen talent, Paul Dano never ceases to bring something amazing to every single performance. And in director Bill Pohlad’s stirring Love & Mercy, both Dano and John Cusack get to spread their wings, with the former playing The Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson in the ’60s and the latter portraying the songwriter in the ’80s. The film follows two different timeless — chronicling Wilson’s period of musical experimentation, leading to the release of Pet Sounds, with flashes to his mental health care in the ’80s under the watch of Dr. Eugene Landy (Paul Giamatti), a radical figure in the psychotherapy field. Delivering raw honesty in a way that’s hard to come by in cinema, Love & Mercy goes to great lengths to unearth and respect the earnest struggles of Brian Wilson, a magician of sound who has inspired countless artists over the decades. Read less Read more Love & Mercy Official Trailer #1 (2015) - Brian Wilson Biopic HD The Beach Bum (2019) Trailer 55 % 5.5/10 r 95m Genre Comedy Stars Matthew McConaughey, Snoop Dogg, Isla Fisher Directed by Harmony Korine watch on Hulu watch on Hulu Harmony Korine is quite the polarizing auteur, and we’re pretty sure the off-the-wall writer/director would be peeved with such a prestigious label (re: auteur). Have you ever heard of Gummo? What about Spring Breakers? Korine isn’t exactly highbrow when it comes to moviemaking, but there’s an acerbic and almost otherworldly wit behind his pictures. And his most recent effort, 2019’s The Beach Bum, finds the long-hailed king of weird doing what he does best, albeit on softer terms. Starring Matthew McConaughey as the titular bum, going by the handle of “Moondog,” the roving author spends his days dreaming up ideas for the book he hasn’t quite written, and maybe never will, while interacting, drugging, and departing from a series of idiosyncratic characters that perfectly round out the bizarre ensemble pic. Watching a Korine flick is a lot like taking in a peculiar art exhibition — we’re not sure why we’re looking, but we definitely don’t want to look away. Read less Read more THE BEACH BUM Official Trailer #2 (2019) Matthew McConaughey, Zac Efron Movie HD The Act of Killing (2012) Trailer 91 % 8.2/10 r 159m Genre Documentary Stars Anwar Congo, Herman Koto, Syamsul Arifin Directed by Joshua Oppenheimer, Christine Cynn watch on Hulu watch on Hulu When it comes to documentary filmmaking, The Act of Killing stands as one of the deepest-cutting uses of the genre’s conventions, unpacking a subject that may not be easy to talk, look, or think about. But director Joshua Oppenheimer and his creative team did the hard work of getting the topic on-screen. The subject: the mass execution of accused Indonesian communists from 1965 to 1966. And perhaps most disturbingly, the film explores the prolific rise of the executors, observing the various layers of corruption and extortion that these individuals are responsible for. It’s not an easy watch, but if you’re looking for something that’s insightful and emotionally complex, The Act of Killing more than fits the bill. Read less Read more Pig (2021) Trailer 82 % 6.9/10 r 91m Genre Drama, Thriller Stars Nicolas Cage, Alex Wolff, Adam Arkin Directed by Michael Sarnoski watch on Hulu watch on Hulu In Pig, Nicholas Cage stars as Robin Feld, a truffle forager living off the grid in the backcountry of the Pacific Northwest. With a day to day composed of seeking out and selling rare fungi to a local restaurant supplier named Amir (Alex Wolff), Feld is content to go about a simple life of living off the land, that is until a posse of malcontents steal his truffle-foraging swine. Teaming up with Amir to track down the thieves, Robin must go to great lengths to infiltrate the locales and social circles he left behind to regain the animal he loves. A stirring blend of arresting performances and a unique narrative, Pig is the kind of independent film that makes a quiet but powerful impact before fading into the greater ephemera of bigger-budget pictures. That being said, catch it while you can — you won’t be disappointed. Read less Read more Pig Trailer #1 (2021) Movieclips Trailers Cast Away (2000) Trailer 73 % 7.8/10 pg-13 143m Genre Adventure, Drama Stars Tom Hanks, Helen Hunt, Chris Noth Directed by Robert Zemeckis watch on Hulu watch on Hulu If Liam Neeson is the grizzled uncle of modern cinema, then Tom Hanks is the seasoned and well-spoken grandfather. Honing several roles per year, Hanks’ charisma goes a long way toward the watchability of the films he chooses, from recent fare like Finch all the way back to Cast Away, a Robert Zemeckis epic about one man’s trials and tribulations on a desert island. Hanks stars as Chuck Noland, a FedEx employee who is the sole survivor of an international parcel flight for the company. With no civilization in sight, Noland must channel his inner Darwinism to contend with the strange terrain of the unexpected tropical prison, possibly for the rest of his life. Watching Hanks’ tour-de-force performance is the biggest reason to arrive for Cast Away. Even two decades after its premiere, the film still delivers an emotionally gut-wrenching tale that makes us, and Grandpa Hanks, weep over something as simple as a volleyball.

Jon Benjamin, Kristen Schaal, John Roberts Directed by Loren Bouchard, Bernard Derriman watch on Hulu watch on Hulu The Bob’s Burgers Movie is like the distantly-related cousin of the similarly titled 2007 film The Simpsons Movie. Both flicks are the feature-length descendants of two widely popular and long-running TV series, each backed by a bountiful collection of awards, endless amounts of merchandise, and fueled-up fanbases always looking for more. And just as The Simpsons Movie was an excellent (but somewhat unnecessary) addition to The Simpsons canon, so too is The Bob’s Burgers Movie to its own namesake series. The story follows the Belcher family, idiosyncratic restauranteurs faced with an interesting challenge — how to get patrons into the burger shop with a massive sinkhole in front of the entrance. The narrative begins here, and like the show, branches out into all sorts of misadventures. The Bob’s Burgers Movie is a dish tailor-made for the show’s legion of supporters, but it’s an awesome watch for new viewers, too. Read less Read more Official Trailer The Bob's Burgers Movie 20th Century Studios Prey (2022) Trailer 79 % 7.3/10 r 100m Genre Science Fiction, Action, Thriller, Horror Stars Amber Midthunder, Dakota Beavers, Dane DiLiegro Directed by Dan Trachtenberg watch on Hulu watch on Hulu Serving as a centuries-ago prequel to the 1987 film Predator, Prey gives us the story of a Comanche warrior named Naru (Amber Midthunder) who aspires to be the mighty protector of her Great Plains tribe. One day, a powerful new foe descends on her clan, forcing Naru and her fellow Comanche to summon up all their wits and strength to thwart the combatant extraterrestrial. Prey is a propulsive and blood-soaked nail-biter of an action film, and one that could effectively stand alone as a singular entity. But in this case, it’s a new entry in a much-loved franchise, and it’s one we’re betting will make plenty of fans happy.

As a passenger aboard a commuter train, Stevens takes on the digitized likeness of a man known as Sean Fentress in an eight-minute simulation. Tasked with locating and disarming a bomb, as well as discovering who planted it in the first place, Stevens gets closer and closer to the perpetrator. But as time keeps ticking, and the simulations keep ending in explosive death, does the decorated soldier have what it takes to get to the bottom of things? A powerful blend of sci-fi, action, and thriller elements, Source Code is a beaming sophomore effort from writer-director Duncan Jones, who first took the world by storm with 2009’s Moon.

Hotel Transylvania, of course. The dazzling and fun-filled 2012 animated film of the same name features the voice talents of Adam Sandler as the maestro of macabre himself, Count Dracula. Inviting an ensemble of monsters from all over the world to celebrate his daughter Mavis’ (Selena Gomez) 118th birthday, Dracula’s ultimate shindig falls short when an unsuspecting human named Jonathan (Andy Samberg) accidentally wanders onto the gloomy grounds and starts pining after Mavis. Hot on Jon’s trail, it’s up to Dracula to get rid of the mortal man before his ghoulish guests catch wind of the imposter. Delightful and silly, Hotel Transylvania wasn’t exactly written for the adults of the kids who will inevitably love the film. But if you can unplug your brain enough to simply be wowed by the many computer-generated frills, then we’re sure everyone can find something to love (or at least like).

On a field trip to Columbia University, high school student Peter Parker (Maguire) is bitten by a genetically engineered spider, imbuing him with an impressive collection of superhuman-arachnid abilities. And just in time, because across town, Norman Osborn (Willem Dafoe) of Oscorp has injected himself with a performance-enhancing serum that transforms him into the dastardly Green Goblin. It’s up to Spider-Man to put an end to the Goblin’s reign of terror before the madman wreaks total havoc on New York. An action-packed thrill ride with cutting-edge effects that still hold up today (for the most part), Spider-Man may not be everyone’s favorite version of the friendly neighborhood hero, but it sure is a kinetic start to his parade of silver-screen appearances.

When Caden receives a MacArthur Fellowship, he travels to New York City to stage a monolithic act of realism in the form of a never-ending play. The staged event is a depiction of everyday life with a seemingly infinite cast of players, with some talents actually playing versions of Caden (Tom Noonan), his family, and associates. But as Caden’s personal life begins crumbling at an exponential rate, all of his pain and regret get dumped into his black hole of a magnum opus. A dizzying film with plenty of metaphors and symbols to decode, Synecdoche, New York is an astonishing directorial debut from Charlie Kaufman and an excellent vehicle for Hoffman.

In the case of a film like Akeelah and the Bee, quite admirably, we must say. Starring Keke Palmer as Akeelah, our story follows the 11-year-old girl’s triumphant rise into spelling-bee stardom. With dreams of entering the National Spelling Bee, Akeelah’s aspirations are brought to life through the aid and encouragement of friends and neighbors, propelling her into the limelight. A heartfelt film that leans on themes of community and perseverance in the face of life’s greatest challenges, Akeelah and the Bee is a shining example of a sports-adjacent drama with branch-offs into coming-of-age terrain.

Such is the case with the director’s 2010 animated film Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole. The story centers on Soren (voiced by Jim Sturgess), a young barn owl captivated by the many fantastical stories of his father, Noctus (Hugo Weaving). One recurring fable is of the titular Guardians, an armada of protectors who once saved the world of owls from a takeover by the wretched Pure Ones. Coincidentally, Soren and his mischievous older brother, Kludd (Ryan Kwanten), are captured by two scouts from the Pure Ones after evading a Tasmanian devil attack. When the siblings learn that the evil sect plans on turning them into owl soldiers and material scrappers, Soren and a host of new companions must make a daring escape from enemy clutches to track down the Guardians once more. While Legend of the Guardians gets a bit held up by its twisting narrative, the sheer brilliance of the onscreen vistas, caves, and other “bird’s eye” makes for a visual experience that is hard to beat.

But as the hours wear on, and the sun unrelentingly beats down, Virgil’s lucidity starts to wan, threatening both his own safety and that of the golden trophy, a talisman that must be protected from other scavengers. With the weight of the narrative resting on Zac Efron’s shoulders, the actor truly gives his all to the role and its many physical and psychological requirements and limitations, making for an engaging lead performance that proves he is capable of so much more than we could fathom.

The story takes place over one Fourth of July weekend, as outer space invaders descend on the Earth, wreaking havoc at every turn. With futility fast approaching, it’s up to the U.S. government and a crafty team of military experts to put an end to the alien onslaught before humanity is entirely wiped out. Not to spoil anything, but this is one movie that explicitly chooses not to harm a cherished family pet, which should be an Oscar category in its own right. Regardless of how one feels about the Golden Retriever who lives to see another day (not a major plot point by any means, by the way), Independence Day has lived to see year after year of cinematic success.

It was a laurel the performer certainly deserved. Playing as a stylized biopic, director Bryan Singer explores the rise of Mercury’s talent through his years with Queen, then as a solo artist, and then back with the band once more for the famous Live Aid benefit concert. While the movie negates some of the darker elements of Mercury’s real-life arc, Bohemian Rhapsody is designed to dazzle and entertain, a feat it accomplishes over and over. Sure, the script may steer away from sadness and tragedy, but you’ll come for the music and performance, and this is why you’ll stay.

Chronicling the 1969 Apollo mission, the documentary negates the traditional talking-head format in favor of cinéma vérité-style 70mm behind-the-scenes footage of the historical space mission and its primary crew — specifically Buzz Aldrin, Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and a host of mission engineers providing Earth support to the trio of astronauts. “One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind” is a phrase that is deeply engrained in the fabric of humanity, and this powerful documentary is a monolithic reminder of the many grand triumphs that man is capable of discovering.

Planning to travel home, Neil makes up an excuse at the last second to stay in Acapulco, where he indulges in a series of cheap thrills in an effort to distance himself from his sister, the death, and anything else that could pester the quiet and miserly gentleman. A bleak drama, Sundown is propelled by the chameleon-like performance of Tim Roth at its center, portraying a man who has it all but would seemingly give it all up if it meant disappearing was a possibility.

Get Low is one such gem. Duvall portrays Felix Bush, a hermit living in 1930s Tennessee. One day, Bush gets the idea to throw a funeral party for himself, much to the confusion of the townsfolk that have spread far-fetched rumors about the reclusive gentleman for most of his life. Duvall leads the charge in Get Low as the oddly charismatic Bush, but other notable ensemble players include Bill Murray as the owner of the town’s funeral parlor and Sissy Spacek as Bush’s long-ago love. Get Low has plenty of heart and laughs, and is actually based on a true story.

After losing to the New York Yankees in the 2001 Division series, as well as losing his three-star players, Billy is tasked with building a formative team in time for the 2002 season. Going against the grain, Bean hires Ivy League economics graduate Peter Brand (Jonah Hill) to help him recruit players based on their projected value. It turns out this crazy-sounding concept could be the best decision for the Oakland-A’s. Bennett Miller is a director well-known for his empowering biopics of immense cultural figures (Capote, Foxcatcher), and Moneyball is no exception. Brad Pitt brings plenty of gravitas to the role of Billy Bean, bringing charisma and believability to one of modern baseball’s most radical figures.

On her way to Olympic stardom, Tonya’s reputation is steamrolled when her ex-husband carries out a malicious attack on Tonya’s skating rival, Nancy Kerrigan (Caitlin Carver). Not for one second does Gillespie’s sports-drama pretend to be like the rest, opting for a fourth-wall-breaking, larger-than-life approach to Tonya’s rise and fall. Where the storytelling goes through waves of experimentation in the two-hour runtime, Margot Robbie’s performance as the lime-lit Tonya is what most viewers are arriving for, and it’s certainly one of the major reasons you’ll want to stay.

That is until he discovers a karate dojo led by a charismatic sensei (Alessandro Nivola). Initially, Casey really takes to the defense lessons, but when the sensei begins challenging him to up his masculinity and aggression, things take a sinister turn. A bleak but humorous riff on the feel-good sportsman story, The Art of Self-Defense is a sharp commentary on the state of toxic masculinity.

En route, Martin sustains a serious injury after he and Alma are attacked at their campsite. Taken in by a man named Zach (Reece Shearsmith), Martin and Alma are thankful for the rescue — until they realize the mysterious man may have an ulterior motive for rescuing them. A hallucinatory indie sci-fi from the talented mind of writer-director Ben Wheatley, In the Earth landed in cinemas mid-pandemic, making for a perfect cinematic allegory on the state of the world and how we contend with disease and the madness of humanity.

Working as a Berlin historian, Undine’s romantic partner unexpectedly leaves her, setting a chain of events into motion that may strip her of her womanly guise. In accordance with folklore, Undine must kill her betraying lover and return to the water to live out the rest of her days as a nymph once more. From the writer-director of Phoenix and Transit, Undine is a lush blend of romance and drama, set against the architectural evolution (and decay) of a city rich with emotions of its own.

Writer-director Robert Machoian is a significant talent to watch in the coming years, delivering a resonant film without an ounce of fat. The performances are top-notch, the story is heart-wrenching, and even though things can get unrelenting, there’s no way you’ll turn away once you start the film.

The Biggest Little Farm charts the seven years after their benchmark transaction as we watch the barren acreage transform into a diverse paradise of crops and fauna. A film that does wonders for the soul, spending a meditative hour-plus with the Chester clan will shed you of any wretched toxins you may be carrying with you from the day.

When the girl meets a man named Moses (Toby Wallace), the two quickly fall for each other, much to the dismay of Milla’s parents (played by Essie Davis and Ben Mendelsohn). While they fear that Moses may be taking advantage of the family, her parents realize that he brings Milla joy and happiness, so they do what they can to keep him around. A subversive cancer-dramedy that plays by its own set of rules, Babyteeth is a surprisingly fresh watch for those expecting your run-of-the-mill disease drama.

However, the auteur’s botanical nightmares seemingly began with A Field in England, this 2013 period thriller. Set during the English Civil War, the film follows a batch of rogue soldiers and an alchemist’s assistant who attempt to desert the battlefront. After being captured by a rival alchemist and fed hallucinatory mushrooms, the deserters become subservient to the cause of their captor, a man intending to unearth something mystical and almighty in the field they’re settled on. An adventure of kaleidoscopic proportions, combining notes of drama, horror, and black comedy, A Field in England is an exceptional entry in the bizarre canon of Ben Wheatley.

Hostiles finds Christian Bale returning to Cooper’s acting fold as Captain Joseph Blocker, an Army captain tasked with transporting a Cheyenne war chief (Wes Studi) and his family from New Mexico to their home in Montana. Along the way, the band of travelers comes across Rosalee Quaid (Rosamund Pike), a widow whose family was wiped out by Comanche warriors. Banding together, Blocker, Quaid, and Chief Yellow Hawk must contend with the grueling geography and the outlying Comanches that want them dead. Brutal and surprising, Hostiles doesn’t relent at any point in its two-hours-plus runtime.

After stumbling upon a great walled-in structure, the Croods are captured by Phil and Hope Betterman (Peter Dinklage and Leslie Mann), fellow Neanderthals with a bit more wit and technology. Initially peeved by each other’s clans, both the Croods and Bettermans must unite to contend with the evildoing Punch Monkeys before the creatures wipe out both prehistoric dynasties. A delightful and humorous animated adventure, The Croods: A New Age was delayed several times in its production, with the coronavirus hindering the final leg of animation.

Out driving, Tunde is pulled over by a disgruntled police officer who pulls his weapon and ends Tunde’s life. Immediately after the trigger is pulled, Tunde awakens, finding himself trapped in a time loop with his inevitable death facing him repeatedly. Leaning on the big trope of such memorable hits as Groundhog Day, The Obituary of Tunde Johnson pushes the typical light footing of the time loop sub-genre aside in favor of a more character-driven approach, a feat more than accomplished by director Ali LeRoi and Steven Silver’s grounded approach to the lead role.

When Luce’s history teacher, Harriet Carter (Octavia Spencer), calls a meeting with Luce’s parents after the youth turns in an essay with violent implications, the idyllic family of three are forced to question their parenting, family dynamic, and overall marriage. A riveting examination of racial bias, powered by intense performances from the main ensemble, Luce plays like a character-driven theater experience, paying fine homage to the story’s roots in live theater.

More specifically, the colleagues want to see if maintaining a constant blood-alcohol level of 0.5 will improve their creativity and overall mood. Truly more than another midlife boozer flick, Another Round sees Mads Mikkelsen in top form as Martin, the de facto onscreen leader who attempts to gain more out of his day-to-day through mild intoxication. It’s funny, at times dark, and tactfully hard-hitting.
