'The Summer I Turned Pretty.' 'Untamed' — TV and movie new releases to see or skip this weekend in Canada — streaming and in theatres

Yahoo5 days ago
We're back to the discourse about Team Conrad vs. Team Jeremiah for Belly as The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 started its release on Prime Video this week. And the fans already have some intense thoughts.
But while the show, based on Jenny Han's book trilogy, was appointment watching for many, others were heading to the movie theatre to see the highly anticipated I Know What You Did Last Summer remake, starring Outer Banks actor Madelyn Cline and The Studio's Chase Sui Wonders. Additionally, Eddington with Pedro Pascal and Joaquin Phoenix, from divisive filmmaker Ari Aster, also landed in theatres.
Meanwhile, drama fans had Eric Bana's new limited series Untamed to enjoy at home on Netflix.The Summer I Turned Pretty, Season 3 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Admittedly, I have only watched the first two episode of The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 to, but how could I not include one of the most highly anticipated TV releases of the year!
I'm leaving room for improvement, or for things to really take a left turn as the season continues, but the first two episodes are incredibly juicy.
In all honestly, I watched the first two episodes right at 3:00 a.m., and shortly after rewatched the episodes to really zero in on all the details and Easter eggs.
It's just a story that will suck you in completely, it's a show that's incredibly addictive, and there's no denying how impressive it is for a show to have that much fandom.

Eddington — ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
Ari Aster is a particularly polarizing filmmaker, so it's no surprise that there are a wide variety of opinions on Eddington.
While Aster has some lofty goals in this film, with choices that at times feel overindulgent, it's ultimately an effective evaluation of paranoia and societal collapse, all set amid COVID-19 pandemic mandates.
While several films and TV shows have tried to reflect life at the height of the pandemic, Aster has done it the best.
There are few filmmakers who are able to build anxiety in a film like Aster, but the focus is ultimately an accurate reflection of how disoriented and chaotic our world.
Whether we're willing to accept of not, the most cynical moments in the movie are in fact the most real.

I Know What You Did Last Summer — ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I think it's worth remembering that when the 1997 film I Know What You Did Last Summer was first released, it wasn't a huge hit. It's one of those movies that became more beloved as people went back to watch it.
With the new I Know What You Did Last Summer following a very similar story, this is a film that will mostly entertain those who are particular fans of the original, and those who love members of this new cast.
This movie really leans into the silly and it's a fun journey if you're willing to not take the film to seriously. From Madelyn Cline's outrageous comedy to the visual spectacle of the slasher elements
For any reboot there's always a question about whether it was necessary, and this is a film that rests on its audience already feeling invested in the story from the past.

Untamed — ⭐️⭐️⭐️
The landscape of British Columbia is used as Yosemite National Park in Untamed, the new crime drama, limited series on Netflix, starring Eric Bana.
From relationship drama to lingering trauma and critical safety concerns, Untamed checks all the boxes for elements of a story to build tension and suspense.
At times it's predictable, at others a little over-to-top in its melodrama, but this is Bana at his best, giving a particularly engaging performance.
Even with its fault, you're going to feel compelled to get to the end and solve the mystery.

This heartbreaking drama is an underrated Netflix movie to watch this weekend (July 25-27)

Every time I open Netflix, I feel a mild sensation of both excitement and dread. There's plenty of stuff to check out, but I actually have to pick something in order to get started. This weekend, I've pulled together three movies that are all great whether you've seen them once or hundreds of times. They're also movies that, for one reason or another, are underrated at the moment. Give them a look. Recommended Videos We also have guides to the best new movies to stream, the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, the best movies on Amazon Prime Video, the best movies on HBO Max, and the best movies on Disney+. Friday Night Lights (2004) One of the great football movies ever made, Friday Night Lights tells the story of a small Texas town where high school football is the only thing that matters. When the star tailback hurts himself and is out for the season, all hope of the team making it to the state championship seems lost. The team's coach must then push his kids and the town to remember how important it is to believe in themselves. As cheesy as that might sound, Billy Bob Thornton knows how to turn the material into something genuinely revelatory. There's a reason a whole show was based on the story at the center of this film. You can watch Friday Night Lights on Netflix. His Three Daughters (2024) A genuinely heartbreaking movie, His Three Daughters follows three sisters as they navigate the death of the father they all shared. Carrie Coon, Natasha Lyonne, and Elizabeth Olsen all delivered textured performances here, and part of the point of the movie is that their dad meant very different things to each of them. His Three Daughters is a movie about how easy it is to judge the people in your life and how hard it is to navigate difficult periods together without driving one another insane. Crucially, each actor receives plenty of breathing room. You can watch His Three Daughters on Netflix. Instant Family (2018) Family comedy has largely been relegated to Netflix, but Instant Family is a reminder of how great this genre can be. The film stars Rose Byrne and Mark Wahlberg as a couple who decide to foster children after agreeing to start a family. When they find themselves fostering three siblings, including a rebellious 15-year-old, they begin to realize how chaotic and complicated fostering children really is and how much they still have to learn. Byrne and Wahlberg are excellent and remarkably game. Instant Family is surprisingly sweet without losing any of its laughs. You can watch Instant Family on Netflix.

This space drama tops our list of underrated Prime Video movies this weekend (July 25-27)

Although Prime Video is just one of the offerings that Amazon includes with any Prime subscription, it can be valuable if you know how to take advantage of it. Sometimes, though, opening the service and actually picking something to watch can feel incredibly challenging. That's why we've pulled together three underrated movies that will hopefully make your decision easier about what to watch. Whatever you're looking for, we've got you covered. Recommended Videos We also have guides to the best new movies to stream, the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, the best movies on Amazon Prime Video, the best movies on HBO Max, and the best movies on Disney+. Letters From Iwo Jima (2006) Clint Eastwood directed two movies about the Battle of Iwo Jima in 2006, and most agree that Letters From Iwo Jima, which tells the story of the battle from the Japanese perspective, is the better one. It follows several Japanese soldiers who work to defend the island, and the commander tasked with fending off American forces for as long as possible, even as he understands the impossibility of his task. It's a thoughtful examination of soldiers who were often demonized in Western depictions of the war. You can watch Letters From Iwo Jima on Amazon Prime Video. First Man (2018) Damien Chazelle's follow-up to La La Land wasn't nearly as well-regarded or well-remembered as that film, but it's no less worthy of praise. First Man follows Neil Armstrong's journey to the moon. While it might seem like a conventional biopic, it turns out to be much stranger than that premise might suggest. First Man is the study of a man who risks everything in his world to pursue something insanely dangerous. The flight sequences here are genuinely stunning. Ryan Gosling is truly excellent as Armstrong. It's a subdued, understated central performance, which has to communicate a deep well of feeling with remarkable economy. You can watch First Man on Amazon Prime Video. Snack Shack (2024) I've always been a sucker for coming-of-age movies, and Snack Shack's unique charm stands out in a crowded field. Snack Shack depicts two friends who like to hatch moneymaking schemes together. The duo decides to reopen their pool's abandoned snack shack. As they start making money at the shack, they meet an effortlessly cool lifeguard who will upend their summer and their relationship. Snack Shack is a little shaggy, but it's remarkably charming and anchored by a trio of compelling young lead performers who all seem to perfectly understand what they've been asked to do. You can watch Snack Shack on Amazon Prime Video.
