This year has flown by. It’s already June and next thing you know, we’ll be breaking out holiday decorations. With things moving so fast, it’s understandable if you haven’t had time to make it to the movie theater. And if we’re being honest: the first half of 2024 hasn’t exactly been overflowing with hotly anticipated releases. However, just in case something came out that you might have been interested in, we’ve got a quick recap of some notable movies you may have missed and where you can stream them at home.
Note: Some of these are available with subscriptions, while others will require you to rent or buy them.
‘Dune: Part Two’ – Max
If you missed Zendaya kicking ass in the second chapter of this story you can catch it on Max. If this franchise is your jam, savor this movie, because it’s going to be a while before the series, “Dune: Prophecy,” hits screens, or “Dune: Part Three is even in production.
‘Wish’ – Disney+
This animated film came out at the end of 2023, but we’re counting it because Ariana DeBose’s Asha is such an amazing Disney heroine. This entertaining movie is a fun origin to the magic of all your other favorites.
‘American Fiction’ – Prime Video
Awards season can get overwhelming, so it’s understandable if you missed this Oscar-winning film on the impact of Black art. The cast is brilliant and the story is unique.
‘Bob Marley: One Love’ – Paramount+
Even if you’ve already seen this biopic chronicling the life and legacy of Bob Marley, it’s not like you’re going to ever be tired of the music.
‘Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire’ – Digital Release
The latest entry in the “Ghostbusters” franchise seemed to come and go so fast we barely had time to sing Ray Parker Jr.’s iconic theme. If you enjoy the new movies, this is your chance to see the kids team up with the OGs.
‘Challengers’ – Digital Release
Whether you’re a fan of tennis or complicated relationship dramas, “Challengers” is probably going to make for a fun movie night.
‘Migration’ – Peacock
It’s always enjoyable when you can find a family movie that the kids and adults will both like.
‘Monkey Man’ – Digital Release
If revenge action is your jam, “Monkey Man” is going to be your new favorite. The fight scenes are thrilling and the story is a fresh entry in the genre. Dev Patel delivered an instant classic.
‘Origin’ – Hulu
Ava DuVernay’s brilliant adaptation of Isabel Wilkerson’s novel “Caste” comes to Hulu on June 10. This is the kind of emotional, thought-provoking drama that may hit a little stronger when you’re watching at home away from outside distractions.
‘Damsel’ – Netflix
This fresh take on classic fairy tales has an imaginative twist, plus Angela Bassett and Millie Bobby Brown are definitely not damsels in distress who wait around to be rescued.
‘Civil War’ – Prime Video
This drama was divisive, but not for the reasons you expect. If you want to come to your own conclusions, you can stream it at home. Fair warning: This is not a hppy fun time date movie.
‘The Beekeeper’ – MGM+
In this bonkers, nonstop action movie, Jason Statham goes on a bloody rampage to avenge Phylicia Rashad’s death, and things get crazy from there. If you want a ridiculous amount of fight scenes and a cool popcorn flick, this is for you.
‘The Book of Clarence’ – Netflix
Jeymes Samuel’s star-studded bible epic tells a fascinating story about faith, belief and redemption. LaKeith Stanfield is absolutely ready for leading man status.
‘I.S.S.’ – Digital Release
Oscar winner Ariana DeBose heads into her action star era with this somewhat predictable thriller about what happens to the astronauts on the space station when nuclear war breaks out on Earth.
‘The American Society of Magical Negroes’ – Peacock
This isn’t the best satirical exploration of race on this list, but if you’re looking for something different, this one certainly qualifies. Also, can we get a spinoff on “the Society of Supportive Wives and Girlfriends?”
‘The Fall Guy’ – Digital Release
If you love Ryan Gosling, Emily Blunt and Winston Duke, you can already watch this hit at home in your pjs.
