As the SAG and WGA strikes drag on and bring movie production to a halt, the studios have started to delay theatrical releases in part because their actors aren’t available to promote the movies. This means streaming services such as Amazon’s Prime Video are the ticket to seeing fresh releases. Sure, Prime Video added plenty of catalog titles in September, and the ones worth checking out that you maybe haven’t already seen 100 times include Red Eye, Army Of Darkness, Deep Blue Sea, Riddick, Sinister, Wild Things, and many more. But there are also several new releases, including Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant starring Jake Gyllenhaal, the powerful drama A Thousand And One, and Michael Peña in the biographical sci-fi drama A Million Miles Away.

Oh Boy…. Now I’ll have to watch Army of Darkness…again. Its a fun ride and my favorite Evil Dead movie by a long shot.
I can’t deal with Guy Ritchie’s bullshit anymore. Tried watching The Gentlemen and noped out after 15 minutes.
It’s appropriate that he put his name at the front of this one since he definitely wants you to know you’re watching A GUY RITCHIE FILM!!Although I liked The Gentlemen fine. But it’s a pale imitation of his best gangster work.
I thought The Gentlemen was a worthwhile comeback after some missteps, e.g. Revolver, King Arthur, etc.
I thought Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant was excellent.
Sinister is OK but the most disturbing thing in the whole movie happens during the opening credits which is a major letdown.
DEEP BLUE SEA? THEY ATE ME! A FUCKING SHARK ATE ME!
11? September?
