Justin Long in \u201cBarbarian\u201d (20th Century)<\/p>\n
HBO Max \u2013 Aug. 1<\/p>\n
With Zach Cregger\u2019s bold update of the \u201cResident Evil\u201d franchise just around the corner (it hits theaters on September 18), why not revisit the writer\/director\u2019s debut feature? \u201cBarbarian,\u201d which 20th Century quietly released in the summer of 2022, wound up a cult hit, with $45.4 million worldwide on a budget of just $4 million. (Hey, it\u2019s not \u201cObsession\u201d numbers although what is?) If you haven\u2019t seen \u201cBarbarian,\u201d the less you know the better. But if you need to know something about \u201cBarbarian,\u201d it\u2019s about a young woman (Georgina Campbell) who, in a new town for a job interview, stays at a foreboding rental house. (Air BnB, always the true villain.) <\/p>\n
From there things get decidedly stranger \u2013 she discovers some underground corridors that speak to the history of the house, an extended flashback shows you the original horrors and the current owner of the house, a disgraced Hollywood actor (Justin Long), returns to try and get the property sold and uncovers the same grisly truth. See, that did a good job of selling it without giving anything away right? \u201cBarbarian\u201d struck like lightning, totally out of the blue. Last year\u2019s Oscar-winning \u201cWeapons\u201d proved that Cregger is the real deal, a new face of horror who is more than willing to dig into the firmament beneath the scares for something really, truly unforgettable.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom Dusk Till Dawn\u201d<\/p>\n

George Clooney in \u201cFrom Dusk Till Dawn\u201d (Miramax)<\/p>\n
Paramount+ \u2013 Aug. 1<\/p>\n
This fall sees the release of the still-untitled David Fincher movie that serves as a sideways sequel to Quentin Tarantino\u2019s \u201cOnce Upon a Time in Hollywood.\u201d It is only one of a handful of films that the filmmaker, known for his ratatat dialogue punctuated with pop culture references and proclivity for shocking violence, has written but not directed himself. Another is \u201cFrom Dusk till Dawn.\u201d Released 30 years ago, shortly after the runaway success of \u201cPulp Fiction,\u201d it was based on an early, unproduced screenplay that had originated with a story by make-up effects legend Robert Kurtzman, who then hired Tarantino for the paltry sum of $1,500 to write the screenplay. (Tarantino had to also guarantee that he return the favor and hire Kurtzman and his team for \u201cReservoir Dogs;\u201d Tarantino obliged.) <\/p>\n
After Tarantino became the hottest thing in Hollywood, he dusted off the screenplay, which he had cannibalized over the years (the Ezekiel 25:17 monologue had originally come from the \u201cFrom Dusk till Dawn\u201d script), and gave the project to Robert Rodriguez, his frequent creative partner-in-crime. (Tarantino appeared in Rodriguez\u2019s \u201cDesperado\u201d and the filmmakers had each directed a segment of \u201cFour Rooms,\u201d both of which happened in 1995, the year between \u201cPulp Fiction\u201d and \u201cFrom Dusk till Dawn.\u201d) If you\u2019ve never seen it before, it\u2019s a rip-roaring crime movie that quickly switches gears into a blood-soaked horror movie. It\u2019s outrageous (Selma Hayek\u2019s snake dance being the tip of the iceberg) and a ton of fun, clearly serving, at least partially, for Ryan Coogler\u2019s Oscar-winning \u201cSinners,\u201d which shares a similar structure and, of course, emphasis on creatures of the night. Even 30 years later this movie is a total blast.<\/p>\n
\t\t The Fast & Furious Franchise<\/p>\n Netflix \u2013 Aug. 1<\/p>\n The first seven \u201cFast & Furious\u201d movies are streaming on Netflix this month, which means it\u2019s the perfect time to celebrate #family and have your own little marathon. While the tenth and final installment in the franchise is still in development, charting the unlikely explosion and evolution of \u201cFast & Furious\u201d is a pretty fascinating endeavor. The franchise morphs from racing series to heist series to mega-budget blockbuster over the course of 15 years, with Vin Diesel serving as its anchor from tip to tail. Ready, set, GO.<\/p>\n \u201cSpeed\u201d<\/p>\n Netflix \u2013 Aug. 1<\/p>\n Speaking of fast cars, there are few better \u201890s action movies than Jan de Bont\u2019s \u201cSpeed,\u201d which was released in 1994 and catapulted Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock into superstardom. If you\u2019ve never seen it, the story revolves around a public transportation bus in Los Angeles that\u2019s carrying a bomb. If it goes under 50 miles per hour, the bomb goes off. Bullock is the unlikely citizen on the bus who ends up being the driver, and Reeves is the LAPD office brave enough to jump onboard and try to solve the puzzle before time runs out. It\u2019s a classic.<\/p>\n \u201cSomething\u2019s Gotta Give\u201d<\/p>\n Netflix \u2013 Aug. 1<\/p>\n If you\u2019re in the mood for a feel-good movie, you can\u2019t go wrong with a Nancy Meyers film. This 2003 rom-com stars Diane Keaton as a successful playwright who is forced to look after her daughter\u2019s (Amanda Peet) much older boyfriend, played by Jack Nicholson, after he suffers a heart attack at their summer home. It\u2019s an \u201copposites attract\u201d story as Nicholson plays on his reputation as a playboy, and Keaton delivers an all-timer performance full of emotion and nuance. And, as with all Nancy Meyers movies, the house is to die for.<\/p>\n \u201cBridesmaids\u201d (Unrated)<\/p>\n Prime Video \u2013 Aug. 1<\/p>\n Wanna laugh your face off? The unrated cut of \u201cBridesmaids,\u201d Kristen Wiig\u2019s hilarious 2011 comedy, is now streaming on Prime Video. The movie was a box office bonanza, coming on the heels of Judd Apatow\u2019s largely male-focused comedies that dominated the 2000s. Wiig plays a woman who\u2019s a bridesmaid in her best friend\u2019s (Maya Rudolph) wedding, but she must contend with a new friend (Rose Byrne) and a colorful cadre of characters ahead of the big day. Melissa McCarthy scored an Oscar nomination for her breakout role, and the film still stands as one of the best comedies of the century so far.<\/p>\n \t\t \u201cInterstellar\u201d<\/p>\n Prime Video \u2013 Aug. 1<\/p>\n With Christopher Nolan top of mind thanks to \u201cThe Odyssey,\u201d it may be time to revisit \u201cInterstellar.\u201d Nolan\u2019s ambitious sci-fi film wasn\u2019t a home run right out of the gate \u2013 reviews were mixed-positive at the time, even as his \u201cInception\u201d follow-up grossed over $700 million at the box office. But the movie has only grown in esteem since, with Gen Z especially embracing the story of a father (Matthew McConaughey) who must travel to the furthest reaches of space to find a new planet for humanity.<\/p>\n \u201cClue\u201d<\/p>\n Paramount+ \u2013 Aug. 1<\/p>\n One of the funniest movies ever made, full-stop. \u201cClue\u201d shouldn\u2019t work \u2014 it\u2019s an adaptation of a board game, for one. But the madcap energy that this cast brings to the table is pure chaos in the most delightful way possible. The film follows the rules of a murder mystery, but has the flavor and tone of a screwball comedy like \u201cNoises Off!\u201d with Tim Curry and Madeline Kahn milking every ounce of screentime they have.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Thomas Crown Affair\u201d<\/p>\n Prime Video \u2013 Aug. 1<\/p>\n There\u2019s a new \u201cThomas Crown Affair\u201d on the way via Michael B. Jordan, which is a very good reason to revisit Pierce Brosnan and Renee Russo\u2019s take on the heist story from 1999. Directed by \u201cDie Hard\u201d filmmaker John McTiernan, the film was itself a remake of a 1968 adaptation starring Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway, and it follows a bored billionaire who steals a painting from the Met, then becomes the subject of an investigation led by Russo. Wouldn\u2019t you know it? The two end up falling in love. It\u2019s sexy and fun, and will leave you even more eager to see what Jordan will do with this material.<\/p>\n \u201cBillie Eilish \u2013 Hit Me Hard And Soft: The Tour (Live)\u201d<\/p>\n Paramount+ \u2013 Aug. 6<\/p>\n Billie Eilish and James Cameron\u2019s concert film \u201cHit Me Hard And Soft: The Tour\u201d finally comes to streaming this month on Paramount+. The movie, which was released in 3D, follows Eilish on her tour from 2024 to 2025, offering a look at intimate moments and Eilish charting a course alone for the first time as her brother Finneas doesn\u2019t join her on the full tour.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Last House\u201d<\/p>\n Netflix \u2013 Aug. 7<\/p>\n Everybody wants \u2013 no, needs \u2013 their own \u201cA Quiet Place.\u201d There have been movies like \u201cThe Silence\u201d (the monsters are attracted to sound, just like \u201cA Quiet Place\u201d), \u201cElevation\u201d (the monsters don\u2019t go beneath 8,000-feet above sea level) and \u201cArcadian\u201d (the monsters don\u2019t appear in the light), which, like \u201cA Quiet Place,\u201d try to situate a snug survival narrative around gnarly creatures with a specific angle or ability. The latest is \u201cThe Last House,\u201d premiering on Netflix and centering on a somewhat dysfunctional family (led by Greta Lee and Wagner Moura) who are trapped inside their house when a race of sinister sea creatures emerges from the earth\u2019s oceans. <\/p>\n Full of COVID-era parallels, including an itchy claustrophobia, some nifty creature work by Industrial Light & Magic and a pair of ace performers attempting to imbibe the story with some emotional earthiness (whether or not they success on this quest is up to you), \u201cThe Last House\u201d will remind you of a time you\u2019d probably rather forget \u2013 and scare you silly in the process.<\/p>\n \t\t \u201cYou, Me & Tuscany\u201d<\/p>\n Peacock \u2013 Aug. 7<\/p>\n It\u2019s rom-com season, and you might want to close out the summer with a trip to Tuscany. Kat Coiro\u2019s \u201cYou, Me & Tuscany\u201d failed to make much of a splash at the box office when it hit theaters earlier this year, but reviews were pretty positive and the prospect of seeing Halle Bailey and Rege-Jean Page together is certainly enticing. The story follows a young cook (Bailey) squatting in an abandoned villa who falls in love after meeting the owner\u2019s brother. You know, that old story.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Ribbon Hero\u201d<\/p>\n Netflix \u2013 Aug. 8<\/p>\n \u201cThe Ribbon Hero,\u201d an adaptation of Osamu Tezuka\u2019s hugely influential magna from 1953 called \u201cPrincess Knight,\u201d marks the feature directorial debut of celebrated animator Yuki Igarashi. This new take on the source material \u201cdepicts the story of a lone hero who chooses to defy a harsh destiny, set in a delicately crafted world,\u201d according to the official release. The animation, courtesy of Igarashi\u2019s OUTLINE studio, is genuinely eye-popping, as are the character designs by Kei Mochizuki. <\/p>\n And the action sequences, which combine a fairy tale setting with more steam-punk sci-fi elements, are pretty spectacular. With all of that said, although, the storyline gets a little hard to follow \u2013 especially if you\u2019re unaware of the original manga. The disparate tones and styles occasionally collide with one another awkwardly, which makes a muddy narrative even more difficult to parse. Still, for anime and manga enthusiasts, \u201cThe Ribbon Hero\u201d is required viewing.<\/p>\n \u201cMichael\u201d<\/p>\n Starz \u2013 Aug. 10<\/p>\n One of the year\u2019s biggest box office hits finally comes to streaming. \u201cMichael\u201d has grossed over $1 billion this year so far, and now you can watch it at home \u2013 if you have Starz. The biopic went through its own fair share of trials and tribulations, reshooting the entire third act when production discovered they couldn\u2019t legally depict one of Jackson\u2019s misconduct accusers. Antoine Fuqua reworked the film to focus more on the music and meteoric rise of the King of Pop, and here we are.<\/p>\n \u201cNormal\u201d<\/p>\n Hulu \u2013 Aug. 14<\/p>\n Bob Odenkirk continues his unlikely run as an action star in 2025\u2019s \u201cNormal,\u201d which finds him playing an interim sheriff of a Minnesota town who gets roped into a conspiracy after a bank robbery. Ben Wheatley, the filmmaker behind the explosive \u201cFree Fire\u201d and \u201cKill List,\u201d directs from a screenplay by \u201cJohn Wick\u201d franchise mastermind Derek Kolstad, and Odenkirk once again shows he\u2019s more than capable of playing the action hero after the one-two punch of \u201cNobody\u201d and \u201cNobody 2.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe X-Files: I Want to Believe Vrach Frankenshteyn\u201d<\/p>\n Hulu \u2013 Aug. 14<\/p>\n Last year, on David Duchovny\u2019s podcast of all places, \u201cThe X-Files\u201d creator Chris Carter let slip that there is a better, more intense, R-rated version of his much-maligned 2008 feature \u201cThe X-Files: I Want to Believe,\u201d which Carter directed and co-wrote with longtime collaborator Frank Spotnitz. Earlier this year it looked like this version, which is wholly different than the extended cut that showed up on the film\u2019s home video release, would finally premiere on Hulu. But the supposed date came and went, with Mulder (Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) nowhere to be found. Now, complete with a modicum of pre-release hype (for those who of us who obsessively thumbed through the official episode guide books when the show was still on the air), this new version, dubbed \u201cThe X-Files: I Want to Believe \u2013 Vrach Frankenshteyn,\u201d is finally ready to debut on Hulu. And we\u2019re really hoping for the best here. <\/p>\n The original cut of the movie was dreary and drab, a cheap-looking thriller that put Mulder and Scully on a case involving a pedophile priest with psychic abilities (Billy Connolly) and a weird group performing Frankenstein-esque experiments. It was an odd hodgepodge and not in a good, \u201cX-Files\u201d-y way. It was also a pale imitation of both the original series and the first movie, 1998\u2019s excellent \u201cThe X-Files: Fight the Future.\u201d In the years since the largely atrocious 2008 movie was released, the show has returned for an \u201cevent series\u201d and a follow-up 11th season, to decidedly mixed results, ending with Anderson proclaiming that she was done with the franchise \u2013 for good this time. It\u2019s unclear if this new cut of the movie will resurrect its reputation and put a new light on things, or if it will cement what we already felt about the movie \u2013 that some franchises aren\u2019t worth revisiting.<\/p>\n \t\t \u201cDeep Water\u201d<\/p>\n MGM+ \u2013 Aug. 16<\/p>\n If an above-average shark movie drops on MGM+ will it even make a splash? \u201cDeep Water,\u201d which combines the structure and characterization of a 1970\u2019s disaster movie with the more modern tropes of a creature feature, arrived in theaters earlier this year and now you can enjoy it from the comfort of your own home. Aaron Eckhart and Ben Kingsley are pilots on a flight from Los Angeles to Shanghai when disaster strikes \u2013 a portable battery explodes in cargo, which leads to a chain of events that sees the plane in many pieces in the middle of the ocean, surrounded by a shiver of very hungry sharks. <\/p>\n From there, things go pretty much as you expect, but \u201cDeep Water\u201d was directed by Renny Harlin, the muscular action auteur behind genuine classics like \u201cThe Long Kiss Goodnight\u201d and \u201cThe Adventures of Ford Fairlane\u201d (among many others), who gives it some nice gravitas and a visual snappiness that would not have been found had it been helmed by someone less stylish. (Incredibly, he also has a movie about killer whales coming out.) You could do a lot worse than \u201cDeep Water\u201d is what we\u2019re saying.<\/p>\n \u201cMother Mary\u201d<\/p>\n HBO Max \u2013 Aug. 21<\/p>\n \u201cMother Mary,\u201d which A24 all but abandoned in the lead-up to its release, is one of the studio\u2019s very best movies \u2013 a dazzling, whirligig character piece with large scale musical numbers and a dash of phantasmagoria. Anne Hathaway, as part of her incredible 2026, plays a pop star named Mother Mary in the midst of a personal and professional crisis. With a pivotal performance on the books, she returns to fashion designer Sam Anselm (Michaela Coel), a former close collaborator turned nemesis, to help her with a new look. Set in a single night in a creaky barn behind Anselm\u2019s rambling English estate, the two confront each other, trading barbed remarks and ghost stories, as Mother Mary prepares for her big comeback. <\/p>\n Written and directed by David Lowery, whose credits include \u201cThe Green Knight\u201d and \u201cA Ghost Story,\u201d delivers a moving and occasionally quite spooky meditation on the relationship between artists and the desperate need for connection in a world where such things seem downright impossible. Featuring songs by Charli XCX, Jack Antonoff and FKA Twigs (who also has a brief but unforgettable cameo) and some truly dynamite sequences, \u201cMother Mary\u201d deserved to be a sensation. But for whatever reason A24 got nervous and dropped it without much hubbub. Now, on streaming and beyond, the true believers will find it and evangelize its greatness.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Christophers\u201d<\/p>\n Hulu \u2013 Aug. 22<\/p>\n Putting aside his misguided embrace of AI for an upcoming John Lennon documentary (it premiered at Cannes and was promptly razzed), Steven Soderbergh is really on a roll. Last year saw the release of his inverted ghost story \u201cPresence\u201d and his marital spy thriller \u201cBlack Bag\u201d (both excellent, both written by the great David Koepp). And \u201cThe Christophers,\u201d which premiered late last year and written by frequent Soderbergh collaborator Ed Solomon<\/a>, is also really wonderful \u2013 a heist movie in miniature anchored by a pair of deeply felt performances from Ian McKellen and Michaela Coel. In \u201cThe Christophers\u201d a talented but unsuccessful painter (Coel) is approached by the children of a famous painter (James Corden and Jessica Gunning). Their idea \u2013 they infiltrate the inner circle of their father, a famous painter (McKellen) and gain access to a series of unfinished paintings. <\/p>\n She can complete them seamlessly, the children can sell them as true originals, and they all profit. But, of course, things do not go according to plan. And what starts off as a sneaky thriller evolves into something more emotional and complicated, an investigation of the creative process and the role of the artist in the art (and vice versa). It\u2019s charming, funny, warm and wonderfully acted. It might not be one of Soderbergh\u2019s masterpieces but it\u2019s damn close.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Last Sunrise\u201d<\/p>\n Prime Video \u2013 Aug. 26<\/p>\n An adaptation of the steamy Anna Todd book \u201cThe Last Sunrise\u201d hits Prime Video this month, with screenwriter Anna Klassen adapting the story of a young American woman who strikes up a romance with a Spaniard while following her overprotective mother overseas. Maia Reficco and Fernando Lindez play the central couple with Carlson Young, who directed 2025\u2019s Sophie Turner thriller \u201cTrust,\u201d behind the camera.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Whisper Man\u201d<\/p>\n Netflix \u2013 Aug. 28<\/p>\n \u201cThe Whisper Man\u201d is an intentional throwback to the starry suspense movies of the 1990\u2019s. You remember the ones \u2013 with big names and nimble set pieces, which weren\u2019t afraid to dig into the anxieties of the time. Based on a novel by Alex North, \u201cThe Whisper Man\u201d concerns a child predator, who has abducted the son of a novelist (Adam Scott) and the grandson of a cop (Robert De Niro), who put away a maniac with a similar pattern years before. Michelle Monaghan is the current detective on the case. <\/p>\n Full of twists and turns, some more telegraphed than others, and with a spooky, supernatural embroidery, \u201cThe Whisper Man\u201d is clearly indebted to the work of David Fincher (John Carroll Lynch, from \u201cZodiac,\u201d even briefly shows up), with some loving, occasionally hackneyed homages to everything from \u201cThe Silence of the Lambs\u201d to \u201cPrisoners.\u201d \u201cThe Whisper Man\u201d isn\u2019t nearly on the same level as those modern classics, but it at least tries to be, with a fine supporting cast that also includes Michael Keaton (as the earlier killer) and Hamish Linklater as a creepy collector of serial killer memorabilia, and it\u2019s just nice to see a movie like this \u2013 R-rated, flirting with taboo topics like pedophilia, and led by committed, movie star performances.<\/p>\n
