Genre: Comedy
Rating: R
Runtime: 1h 54m
Rotten Tomatoes: 73% (Critics), 62% (Audience)

Jonah Hill appeared to be the next Hollywood funnyman condemned to the destiny of has-been as the adult comedy resurgence faded and the jokes dried out, riding the Judd Apatow/Seth Rogan wave. Then Get Him to the Greek came out, and it was evident that the jokes would never stop because Jonah Hill was actually amusing. Aaron Green (Jonah Hill) is given the ideal job of escorting Aldous Snow (Russell Brand) from England to the Greek Theater in Los Angeles for an anniversary concert. Snow’s Rock-God lifestyle proves to be considerably more difficult than Green had anticipated, as the two swiftly fall the rabbit hole of drugs, sex, and life-altering depravity.

Looper (2012)

Cast: Bruce Willis; Joseph Gordon-Levitt; Emily Blunt; Paul Dano; Noah Segan; Piper Perabo; Jeff Daniels

on hulu watch party Looper concentrates on the finer things in life, such as brilliant storyline, phenomenal acting, and distinctive action, rather than the ins and outs of the time-travel theorem. In a dystopian world where time travel has yet to be established, a small group of criminals are aware of its impending creation and work to serve those who control it in the future. The Looper is a modern-day assassin who kills those who have been thrown back in time. When modern-day Looper Joe (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is entrusted with killing his future self, future Joe (Bruce Willis), and fails, things get complex. Now, present Joe must prevent future Joe from causing havoc in the past and changing the timeline. Joseph Gordon-Levitt channels an uncanny younger Bruce Willis, imbuing modern Joe with all the kickass energy of Die Hard’s John McClane, while transforming every second of this clock-turning tale into a believable and thrilling sci-fi masterpiece, using the lightest touch of makeup and a hidden talent for impersonation.

Blue Streak (1999)

The 1990s were the best decade for criminal comedy, and only a tiny number of them could compete with the cult classic Blue Streak. After a failed diamond robbery, Miles Logan (Martin Lawrence) has just been freed from prison. Miles is compelled to impersonate a newly transferred police officer in order to reclaim the buried treasure for which he was imprisoned. Mile quickly finds himself taking down old friends like Tulley (Dave Chappelle) in comic way while winning the acclaim of his superiors, proving the old saying “the finest criminals make the best detectives.”Bumbling humor, a slew of comedy classics and actors, as well as a Martin Lawrence showcase that remains his funniest performance to date, will leave you asking why you waited so long to see Blue Streak.

Deep Water (2022)

Cast: Ben Affleck, Ana de Armas, Jacob Elordi, Lil Rel Howery, Rachel Blanchard, Finn Wittrock
Genre: Thriller
Rating: R
Runtime: 2h 33m
Rotten Tomatoes: 37% (Critics), 22% (Audience)

This classic femme fatale tale is getting a modern makeover, loosely based on Patricia Highsmith’s 1957 novel of the same name. Say hello to the first cuck thriller in Hollywood. Vic Van Allen (Ben Affleck) is a man with a square jaw who works hard to support his family. But his wife, Melinda (Ana de Armas), isn’t satisfied. Vic grows jealous after agreeing to look the other way about her blatant affairs in order to prevent divorce. Melinda’s lovers begin to die soon after, and the police’s top suspect is none other than the meek husband himself. Deep Water is far more than a cheap whodunit; it examines the ever-changing power dynamics of relationships, their relationship to gender conventions, and what all of this implies for good ol’ love.

Prisoners (2013)

Director: Denis Villeneuve
Cast: Hugh Jackman; Jake Gyllenhaal; Viola Davis; Maria Bello; Terrence Howard; Melissa Leo; Paul Dano
Genre: Thriller, Crime
Rating: R
Runtime: 2h 13m
Rotten Tomatoes: 81% (Critics), 87% (Audience)
Denis Villeneuve made his reputation in the shadows with two other Hollywood big shots before trapezing bright sand dunes with Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya. Despite being pure heat, this 2013 thriller managed to slip under most people’s radars, telling the story of a father (Hugh Jackman) seeking to find his kidnapped daughter and the Detective (Jake Gyllenhaal) investigating. Over jump-screams and special effects, the film favors psychological suspense, exquisite pace, and the truly great performances of Jackman, Gyllenhaal, and the always scary Paul Dano, Prisoners worms its way into your psyche and delivers a nightmare-inducing rollercoaster ride. If you’re looking for a movie that will keep you scared long after the credits have rolled, go no further than Hulu.
