It’s going to be a huge week of new videos on the best streaming with Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and many more, giving subscribers new videos you might not want to miss. Plus, some of the biggest movie hits of the year. are coming to premium streaming platforms.
Choosing a main protagonist this week is tricky, but the design of “Twisters” is sure to delight avid fans of the crisis movie. A standalone sequel to the ’90s original, “Twisters” continues Glen Powell’s summer and sees the charismatic star take on the most visually stunning tornadoes you’ll see in any blockbuster this year. It also features the perfect Daisy Edgar-Jones.
Other videos to watch this week include the criminally overlooked mystery “Mothers’ Instinct,” a new Prime Video comedy from Paul Feig (“Bridesmaids”) and “Daughters,” a Netflix documentary that scored a rare 100 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. .
Now let’s move on to the full list, without further introduction, here are the new videos you want to stream this week. And check out our advisor about this week’s new TVs, too.
“Mothers’ Instinct” gained a strangely low-key theatrical release earlier this summer considering its two bankable stars, Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain. Perhaps the studio’s reluctance to intensely publicize this mystery was due to its weak critical reception, however, I am content to go against the grain and say that this complex drama has a lot to offer. Both of its leads are in good shape, Hathaway in particular is fantastic, and it ends with a memorable ending that lingers long after the credits roll.
Alice (Chastain) and Céline (Hathaway) are very productive friends and neighbors in a thriving American suburb of the 1960s. Both are married to successful husbands and are raising young children of the same age. They are living the American dream. But when a tragic twist of fate occurs, her most productive life is turned upside down and emotions of guilt, suspicion and paranoia soon surface. The scenario gets even worse as their close bond unravels. I’m deliberately indistinct here for spoilers!

The summer’s smash hit, “Twisters,” has a cultural movement whose audiences rejoice in the excitement of a disaster movie and the philosophy of “if you feel it, chase it” (which can be applied to typhoon chasing as well as life in general). Billed as a standalone sequel to 1996’s “Twister,” it doesn’t reinvent the genre, but it’s an adrenaline-pumping, smart film with a very likeable cast of characters and strong overall direction. Also, the titular tornadoes are surely excellent.
Kate Cooper (Daisy Edgar-Jones) is a researcher still recovering from a tragic tornado encounter in her past, but she’s convinced to get back into the typhoon game by chasing her surviving partner and friend, Javi (Anthony Ramos). She, she meets Tyler Owens (Glen Powell), a charismatic and fearless attack hunter with a large following on social media. At odds, Kate begins to grow closer to Tyler as she discovers what motivates him, and the two eventually join forces to help the people of Oklahoma endure a particularly brutal typhoon season.

Netflix already released a must-see documentary one hundred percent on Rotten Tomatoes this month, and the streamer is now gearing up for another. “Daughters” hits the service this week after a successful premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January of this year. It promises to be one of the most productive documentaries of the year. Like many wonderful documentaries, “Girls” balances human stories with a critique of the society around us.
Directed by Natalie Rawe and Angela Patton, “Daughters” delves into the paintings of Patton’s nonprofit Girls for Change, particularly its Date with Dad program, which hosts dances between fathers and daughters with a twist. The parents in question are incarcerated. For a day, they exchange state-provided garments for ceremonial garments and spend a very important time bonding with their daughters. It is an emotional and memorable day for all involved. But this documentary goes beyond the moving nature of the show and also examines how the American criminal formula fails both its inmates and their families.

If videos were rated and ranked solely based on their main premises, then “Jackpot!”it would have strong claims to be considered one of the most productive Amazon Prime Video videos. Of course, the final execution is almost always more vital than With the Initial Ideas, but on paper, this action comedy still has a wonderful plot. The story is set in a world where the winner of a state “Grand Lottery” will have to wait until sunset to get their multi-million dollar prize. However, if they are killed before that date, their killer can legally claim the money for themselves.
Naturally, this leads to a cat-and-mouse death game where bounty hunters and other desperate people looking to borrow the grand prize run rampant. Katie (Awkwafina) is the lucky (or deserves to be unlucky?) winner of the last lottery draw, and in order to make it to sunset alive, she hires a so-called “jackpot protector” named Noel (John Cea), who will protect her. in exchange for a percentage of the prize pool. Directed by Paul Feig and also starring the lovable Simu Liu, “Jackpot!” It looks amazing.

“Immaculée” is the victim of an unfortunate moment. It was released at the end of March and a few weeks later came “The First Omen,” which contained a similar terrifying plot and had the influence of a giant horror franchise to give it the upper hand in the showdown. It’s a real shame because after seeing both, I decide to “Immaculate” every time. See Sydney Sweeney betting against the tide and going to very dark, but very exciting places. However, the scares, unfortunately, are mitigated.
Sweeney plays Cecilia, an American who has come to Italy to take her vows and become a nun in a secluded convent in the charming Italian countryside. As she adjusts to her new surroundings, Cecilia begins to feel uncomfortable, noticing various quirks and having recurring nightmares. Soon, the dark beyond the convent is revealed, and Cecilia discovers that this supposedly sacred position holds sinister secrets and evil intentions.

After nearly a decade in the making, director George Miller welcomes audiences to the wasteland for the new installment of the “Mad Max” saga. This time, the antihero of the same name is nowhere to be found and the highlight is the supporting character of “Fury Road”, Furiosa (now played by Charlize Theron’s Anya Taylor-Joy). This prequel tells her untold story as she goes from being a girl taken from her home against her will to an emperor in Immortan Joe’s army, fighting the deranged warlord Dementus (Chris Hemsworth) along the way.
There’s no denying that “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” was made for the big screen, but even when you watch it at home, its striking settings shine brightly and Chris Hemsworth’s deliciously evil performance loses none of its effect on screen. small screen. Sure, questions about the narrative necessity of this prequel are valid (and the ending lacks punch), however, Furiosa is a compelling main character, and it’s exciting to be back in Miller’s orange-tinged desert.
Watch it on Max starting August 16
Action comedies that see the average user forced into the world of spies are popular on streaming services, so it’s a safe bet that Netflix’s new blockbuster, “The Union,” will be warmly conquered among subscribers when it opens this week. I think critics may not actually appreciate this Netflix original (a shoddy score is a given), but audience reception will be the most important thing, and if the funny trailer is any indication, Netflix might make some viewers laugh. .
Mike (Mark Wahlberg), who lives in Jersey, is an employee of the structure who meets his old girlfriend from school, Roxanne (Halle Berry), after 25 years apart. But it is a normal encounter between old loves and Mike finds himself waking up in London, England, with a tranquilizer dart on his neck. The employee is soon drawn into a world of super spies and is forced to take on a high-stakes project that requires street intelligence and a new investigative technique.
