After going through the villain route for “No Time To Die,” the Oscar winner will become the secret agent of the spice thriller “The Amateur,” one of several new films that hit their favorite streaming service. Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Peacock, HBO Max and others will be offering theatrical releases that will finally return home, like the new André Holland/Gemma Chan drama The Actor.
Here are 10 new and well-known movies you can stream now:
“actor”
Based on Donald E. Westlake’s crime novel “Memory,” the drama of this era stars Andre Holland as a man struggling with amnesia, struggling with amnesia. He finds himself drawn to a kind woman (Gemma Chan), but upon discovering that he is a New York actor, he tries to go home with the film being taken away by an ethereal vibe and noir style.
Where to see: Hulu.
“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. And it’s a calm watch, given certain aspects of how it got too close to home, from social media propaganda to destructive rebellion.
Where to see: Netflix.
‘Drop’
This modern hitchcockstriller doesn’t take itself too seriously. Meghann Fahy (“Siren”) plays the widowed mother who has returned to the love game. She meets her first date (Brandon Screnner) at a high-rise restaurant, but is soon threatened by a meme sent to her phone by threatening her son if she doesn’t kill him.

‘Jaws @50: A definitive internal story’
Are you already a “chin”? For those celebrating the 50th anniversary of the iconic Blockbuster, this documentary is an essential viewing. Director Steven Spielberg goes deeper into the exhausting “terrifying” process of making his legendary shark film, with filmmakers such as JJ Abrams, James Cameron and Jordan Peel discussing their influence and legacy.
Where to see: Upstream, Disney+.
‘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.
“Wedding at Madea’s destination”
Madea, the Dutt Cole Harley free brand of Tyler Perry, returns in yet another comedy. Madea is once again confused, so she, friends and extended family attend her grandparents (Diamond White)’s sudden Bahamian wedding, and the bride’s father (Perry) is the stressed soul trying to keep it together.
Where to see: Netflix.

The thriller stars Ayo Edebili (“The Bear”) as a young journalist invited to this year’s event. The mega pop star (John Malkovic) welcomes influential people with his remote compound to listen to his first album since he left the grid 30 years ago. Cult horror flicks don’t offer a completely big premise, but Markovic is a craze as David Bowie and Koresh’s cross.
Where to see: HBO Max.
‘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.
