Another weekend is here, and if you're like most of us, that means one thing: it's time to unwind and escape into a good movie or binge-worthy series. Whether you’re staying cozy at home or heading out for that big screen experience, I’ve got you covered with this weekend’s top picks. Here’s what’s worth your time:
Streaming Picks:
1. Fallout (Prime Video)
This brand-new post-apocalyptic series, based on the hit video game franchise, is already generating serious buzz. With its gritty retro-futuristic atmosphere, surprising comedic moments, and standout performances from Walton Goggins and Ella Purnell, Fallout delivers an exceptionally engaging viewing experience that's hard to stop watching. You don’t have to be a gamer to get hooked.
2. Ripley (Netflix)
Andrew Scott (known for his role as the Hot Priest in Fleabag) stars as the enigmatic Tom Ripley in this methodically-paced psychological thriller. Shot entirely in black and white, it’s visually stunning and deliciously dark. If you love tension, drama, and a good character study, this one’s a must.
3. Shōgun (Hulu/Disney+ depending on region)
One of the year’s most talked-about limited series, Shōgun is a sweeping epic set in 1600s Japan. Intrigue, culture clashes, war, and power plays make this an intense, beautiful watch. With only a few episodes left in the season, now is a great time to dive in.
In Cinemas Now:
1. Civil War (A24, Dir. Alex Garland)
This dystopian war thriller has sparked widespread discussion and debate. Set in a fractured near-future America, it’s both a road movie and a war drama, with haunting visuals and thought-provoking themes. Not your typical action flick. Expect something more cerebral.
2. Monkey Man(Dir. Dev Patel)
Dev Patel steps behind the camera for his ambitious directorial debut in "Monkey Man," a visceral revenge thriller that draws inspiration from Indian mythology. If you loved John Wick or The Raid, this one’s up your alley. Plus, it’s great to see Patel in such a raw, physical role.
3. Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire
Looking for something more fun and family-friendly? This latest Ghostbusters installment brings the nostalgia with a fresh twist. It’s not perfect, but it delivers laughs, spooks, and a good time for all ages.
Hidden Gem of the Week:
The Greatest Hits (Hulu)
A romantic drama with a sci-fi twist, this film follows a woman who time-travels through songs tied to her past relationship. It’s emotional, creative, and quietly profound. For anyone who’s ever had a playlist that reminds them of someone, this one hits home.
Whether you’re in the mood to be thrilled, moved, or just entertained, this weekend’s lineup has a little something for everyone. Grab your snacks, silence your notifications, and enjoy the ride.
