New movies 2023 streaming

Happy April, Polygon readers. It’s fully spring out here, and you know what that means: The temperatures are warming up, the plants are getting greener, and there are a whole lot of great movies new to streaming platforms for you to watch at home. It wouldn’t be spring without us mentioning Spring Breakers, Harmony Korine’s candy cane crime thriller, which is now streaming on HBO Max. But this month also sees the arrival of Spike Lee’s Inside Man and Christopher Nolan’s Inception on Netflix, Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln on Hulu, and a whole slate of erotic thrillers on the Criterion Channel. How to Train Your Dragon and the Shrek movies also make their way to streaming platforms this month, as well as plenty more options for your viewing delight. Let’s get into it! Image: Universal Pictures Year: 2006 Genre: Crime thriller Run time: 2h 9m Director: Spike Lee Cast: Denzel Washington, Clive Owen, Jodie Foster A rare work-for-hire gig for director Spike Lee, 2006’s Inside Man is one of those have-cake-and-eat-it pleasures. It’s a slick, sinuous, puzzle-box thriller in which Clive Owen engineers a bank robbery that is never quite what it seems. Taking hostages, he locks wits with police detective Denzel Washington and high-flying fixer Jodie Foster, and the reversals, twists, and fake-outs topple happily from there. The cast is ludicrously overqualified: Willem Dafoe, Christopher Plummer, and Chiwetel Ejiofor all appear in smaller roles. And Lee doesn’t surrender his playful, ne...

As we near Quentin Tarantino’s tenth and final film ( Drew Taylor “Moneyball” Sony Pictures Max – June 1 Brad Pitt gives one of his best performances in the 2011 drama “Moneyball,” and you don’t need to know a thing about baseball to enjoy this Best Picture nominee. Directed by Bennett Miller and written by Aaron Sorkin and Steven Zaillian, “Moneyball” charts former MLB flameout Billy Beane (Pitt) who’s now general manager of the Oakland Athletics and recruits a statistician with zero baseball experience (played by Jonah Hill in an Oscar-nominated performance) to help him shake up the team. The film is based on a true and controversial story, and while the sports angle is interesting, Pitt’s turn as a man filled with regret and shame hits you right in the gut. – Adam Chitwood “Another 48 Hrs.” Paramount Pictures Paramount+ – June 1 Released eight years after the original film helped establish the buddy cop template and ...

The summer movie season kicks off in theaters this month with huge studio tentpoles like “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,”“Fast X” and “The Little Mermaid.” Streaming is also set to have a big summer kickoff thanks to the arrival of recent box office winners (Sony’s “A Man From Otto”), acclaimed indies (Willem Dafoe’s one-man-show “Inside”), beloved docs (Michael J. Fox’s “Still”) and high-profile world premieres like Hulu’s “White Men Can’t Jump” reboot and Netflix’s Jennifer Lopez action vehicle “The Mother.” The biggest movie arriving on streaming in May is Marvel’s “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,” although it was not a critical or box office hit when it opened in theaters in February.

As for the best new streaming arrivals in May, check out the rundown in the list below. Ben Affleck’s “Air” will be available to stream on Prime Video beg...

The “Bourne” trilogy still stands as one of the most influential franchises of the 21st century, as the gritty and handheld approach to the action in these films would spawn imitators for years to come. Director Doug Liman’s initial entry, “The Bourne Identity,” is a refreshingly grounded international thriller with Matt Damon as an assassin who’s lost his memory and is on the run. Paul Greengrass directed the two sequels – “Supremacy” and “Ultimatum” – which move the series closer to political thriller territory and are arguably all the better for it. – Adam Chitwood “Inside Man” Universal Pictures Netflix – April 1 Spike Lee’s 2006 thriller “Inside Man” is one of the director’s best and most entertaining films. The story opens in the aftermath of a bank heist, with those taken hostage giving their interviews to police about what happened. The film then flashes back to portray the events as they unfold, with Denzel Washington playing the detective trying to talk down the robber and kidnapper (played by Clive Owen) who seems to be harboring some kind of secret. Mind games ensue, and this one keeps you guessing all the way up through the end. – Adam Chitwood “Inception” Warner Bros. Netflix – April 1 If you’re in the mood to watch a mind-bending thriller, you can’t go wrong with Christopher Nolan’s 2010 blockbuster “Inception.” Written and directed by Nolan, the film stars Leonardo DiCaprio as a professional thief who is proficient in performing heists within the subconscio...

Netflix may get most of the attention, but it’s hardly a one-stop shop for cinephiles looking to stream essential classic and contemporary films. Each of the prominent streaming platforms caters to its own niche of film obsessives. From the boundless wonders of the Criterion Channel to the new frontiers of streaming offered by the likes of Disney+ and Max, IndieWire’s monthly guide highlights the best of what’s coming to every major streamer, with an eye toward exclusive titles that may help readers decide which of these services is right for them. Here is your guide for June 2023. Christian Blauvelt, Jude Dry, David Ehrlich, Eric Kohn, and Steph Green contributed to this article. • “Querelle” (dir. Rainer Werner Fassbinder, 1982) Live-and-die-hard filmmaker Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s final howl of anguish from the soul was 1982’s “Querelle,” his last and possibly gayest movie. It’s an adaptation of a novel by French libertine and gay icon Jean Genet, settling into a French port city where a madame played by Jeanne Moreau runs the world, and sailors engage in explicit sex acts that turn violent. Brad Davis, who would die from HIV-related complications three years later, is perfectly cast as the title character, a criminal in love who, much like Genet and Fassbinder, seals his own tragic fate. Now available to stream. Also streaming: -“Paris Is Burning” (now streaming) -“Tongues Untied” (now streaming) -“The Day After Trinity (now streaming) • “Avatar: The Way of Water” (di...

Some of the most popular shows on television are back. The highly-anticipated and long-awaited titles include The Mandalorian season 3 and Ted Lasso season 3. Also returning are Succession season 4, the final chapter of the Roy family dramedy, and the thriller Yellowjackets season 2. On the movies side, Tetris is not so much a video game adaptation, but a chronicle of how the iconic blockbuster was made — and sold.Here’s our guide on what to watch in March 2023. My Mando's back and he's better than ever with the Darksaber! Yes, folks, Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and Baby Yoda/Grogu are returning to Disney Plus. And while it feels like forever since Luke saved them both at the end of season 2, you'll probably want to make sure you're caught up by reading from The Book of Boba Fett, which was basically Mando season 2.5. Now free from Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito's still out there, though), Din Djarin is returning to Mandalore to seek forgiveness for breaking his people's core tenants by removing his helmet. Meanwhile, Grogu's Jedi training is on pause, and a larger threat looms ominously while Bo-Katan Kryze (Katee Sackhoff) wants that Darksaber. - Henry T. Casey A successful rock band in the 1970s is torn apart because of rocky relationships between some of its members? No, this is not a biopic of Fleetwood Mac, though author Taylor Jenkins Reid certainly took a page from their story for her novel. Adapted into a limited series, Daisy Jones and the Six follows the rise and...
