Ultraman Rising (Netflix)
Netflixhas given us some really great family-friendly animated films – especially over the summer months (that’s winter, for Australians) – in recent years. WithUltraman: Rising, one of June’snew Netflix movies, the streaming giant will hope to achieve similar levels of success.
Christopher Sean voices Ken Sato, a Japan native and US baseball star who’s forced to return to his island home to assume the superhero mantle of Ultraman amid numerous monster attacks. However, when Sato inadvertently becomes the adoptive father of a 35-foot tall, fire-breathing baby kaiju, he’s not only charged with keeping Tokyo safe, but also protecting said baby monster from falling into the wrong hands. One to add to ourbest Netflix movieslist? We’ll see howUltraman: Risingperforms first.
Watch Ultraman Rising on Netflix.
Presumed Innocent (Apple TV Plus)
“I did not kill her”. If you take anything away fromApple’s new legal thriller seriesPresumed Innocent– a TV remake of the Harrison Ford-starring 1990 movie and 1987 novel of the same name – it’s that Jake Gyllenhaal’s protagonist didn’t commit the crime he’s accused of.
Or so he says. The suspense-filledApple TV Plusdrama sees Gyllenhaal’s Rusty Sabich, Chicago’s chief deputy prosecutor, installed as the main suspect in the horrific murder of Carolyn Polhemus (Renate Reinsve) – Sabich’s co-worker who he was having an extramarital affair with.
Based on its 78% critical and 84% audience scores onRotten Tomatoes,Presumed Innocentis off to a captivating start on the streamer. Expect to see it on ourbest Apple TV Plus showslist shortly.
Watch Presumed Innocent on Apple TV Plus. New episodes air weekly.
Monkey Man (Peacock)
Originally set to stream exclusively on Netflix before Jordan Peele snapped up the rights to release it in theaters,Monkey Man(out now onPeacock) has – through no fault of its own – been regularly compared to theJohn Wickmovies.
With its hard-hitting and violent action, plus its vengeance-driven narrative, it’s easy to see why, but simply calling it aJohn Wickclone is a disservice to Dev Patel’s feature film directorial debut (he also stars in it, by the way). Indeed, it might tell the tale of a son’s quest to get revenge on the people responsible for his mom’s death years prior, but with its sociopolitical commentary, mythos-steeped themes, and wildly ambitious fight scenes and camerawork,Monkey Manis a stunning action flick in its own right.
Watch Monkey Man on Peacock.
Origin (Hulu)
Arriving five months after its theatrical release, the acclaimed Ava DuVernay-directed biographical dramaOriginwill aim to reach a wider audience following its underperformance at the global box office.
Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor plays Isabel Wilkerson, the first Black journalist to win the Pulitzer Prize for her investigative endeavors. One of June’snew Hulu movies,Originfollows Wilkerson’s globe-trotting journey as she pens her second book –Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents, which was published in August 2020 – while simultaneously contending with a personal tragedy.
With its 82% critical and 97% audience scores on Rotten Tomatoes,Originclearly deserves to be seen by more people. Now that it’s out onHulu(in the US), there’s no excuse not to check it out. One to add to ourbest Hulu moviesguide in the near future.
