If you’re looking for new movies on Amazon Prime Video, then you’re going to be very happy in August. For action fans, there’s Looper and Face/Off, or even The Lord of the Rings trilogy. All-time great Western Once Upon A Time In The West and a cult horror flick, From Beyond, are very enticing as well. Pulp Fiction, Fargo, and the original Superman films are also strong additions. But for us, the one Amazon Prime Video movie that you have to watch in August is Adventureland.

We finally have a proper look at the Harry Potter reboot’s new visual style. Harry Potter might have its fair share of controversy off-screen or beyond the pages, with JK Rowling stirring more than just a cauldron by getting into rows on X (formerly Twitter) with members of the trans community, but the franchise itself continues to go from strength to strength across all forms of entertainment.

Netflix has unveiled their release schedule for the fall of 2024. You can expect more than 25 brand-new movies on streaming before the end of the year.

There’s a slight discrepancy when discussing commercial entertainment that suggests that films that are widely popular at the box office cannot be artistically minded. While there are certainly some truly terrible films in recent years like Transformers: Age of Extinction and Jurassic World Dominion that managed to cross over $1 billion at the global box office, it's easy to forget that many of the older films that won the Academy Award for Best Picture were considered to be the “blockbusters” of their day.

Want to know what half a billion dollars looks like? To Prime Video, it looks like its big-budget fantasy television series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. The show, based on J.R.R. Tolkien's popular books, heads into Season 2 with a lot to prove to both Prime Video and fans after the lukewarm reception to its first season. With a season of experience under its belt and a lot of setup for the whole series out of the way (and a whole lot of cash), there's reason for fans to be optimistic that they'll see some improvement.
