Adam Sandler holds it and rips it on the golf course like he did in 1996.
Almost 30 years after “Happy Gilmore” became one of Sandman’s earliest and biggest movie hits, the highly anticipated comedy sequel “Happy Gilmore 2” leads a variety of new films in the streaming clubhouse. It’s an original on Netflix, but other services like Hulu, Peacock and HBO Max are finally offering theatrical releases, like the latest Wes Anderson Jam, a horror flick based on the video game Till Dawn and the Jenna Ortega/Paul Rudd thriller.
Here are 10 new and well-known movies you can stream now:
“amateur”
It’s like an action thriller that I forgot to come out in 2003. When his wife (Rachel Brosnahan) is killed in an international terrorist attack, the CIA decoder (Rami Malek) chases after those responsible for the era of “Recruit” and “Borne” films.
Where to see: Hulu.
“Tropical Apocalypse”
The fascinating documentary has documented the rise of evangelical power in Brazilian politics in recent years, focusing on the uprising caused by televangelist Cyrus Malafire and the controversial President Jea Bolsonaro. It’s also a calming watch, given the way certain aspects have come too close to home, from social media propaganda to destructive rebellion.
Where to see: Netflix.
“evaluation”
In futuristic landscapes destroyed by climate change, people must obtain government permission and grant support to save resources. Elizabeth Olsen and Himesh Patel play the scientific couple who want a little one, and Alicia Vikander is the evaluator sent to test it to the extreme in an extremely entertaining and very dark sci-fi thriller.
Where to see: Hulu.
“The Death of a Unicorn”
At The Tripily Bonkers Thriller, a widowed lawyer (Paul Rudd) takes her daughter (Jenna Ortega), who has become estranged on a work trip to the Rockies Nature Reserve due to a family reconnection. When they bump into a baby unicorn, it lies down and the father’s pharmaceutical employer aims to use that blood for profit. After that, the foal’s parents appear and things really go away.
Where to see: HBO Max.
“Happy Gilmore 2”
This is the sequel to the golf comedy, “Cannonball Run.” The plot is familiar. Brash Golfer Happy Gilmore (Adam Sandler) knocks on the link and raises enough money to send his daughter to ballet school. Come for stupidity and stay for endless cameos, from female hoop stars and professional wrestlers to musicians, grid iron stars and old peers of Sandler.
Where to see: Netflix.
‘I love you forever’
No one has a more whimsical 2025 on screen than Ray Nicholson. (Yes, Jack’s son.) In this dark romantic comedy, Sofia Black Doria plays a young woman who loves a young woman who meets a television journalist (Nicholson) who checks all the right boxes. But the best boyfriends are quick and heading in the direction Clinsey has emotionally abused.
Where to see: HBO Max.
‘Long distance’
The definition of “dumped movies” is a shelved theatrical release with a new title, with no sudden marketing drops on streaming services. That said, this sci-fi film is a pretty fun time, with Anthony Ramos as a miner who crashes into a dangerous alien planet and needs to save a wounded stranger (Naomi Scott) before the oxygen runs out.
Where to see: Hulu.
“Phoenician Plans”
The Wes Anderson comedy stars Benicio del Toro as a well-known weapons dealer, and after attempting to assassinate one, the daughter of an estranged nun (Mia Slairplatelon) as her sole heir. Absurd shenanigans are ongoing, but the real joy is a refreshing Thrare Platelon watching the delightful del Rotoro and navigating the strange, heartfelt family reconnection.
Where to see: peacock.
‘push’
One thing that the extremely pregnant real estate agent Natalie (Alicia Sants) doesn’t need is a bunch of no shows to the cursed home she’s about to sell. And a man appears? Psycho Killer! Raul Castillo plays a sadistic man who ruthlessly chases her – situations where she becomes truly unhappy when she enters labor twist a supernaturally colored slash.
Where to see: trembling.
“Until dawn”
“Till Dawn” video games are freaking fun times. The film’s adaptation then turns wildly, but not better. Clover (Ella Rubin) takes her friends on a fateful trip to find her missing sister, and they get caught up in a time loop where they have to live until dawn to do it until tomorrow. There are some cool moments, but a horror flick with more clichés.
Where to see: Netflix.
