Here are the seven best movies new to stream in November 2018. “Cloverfield” (2008) “Cloverfield” arrived rather early into J.J.
Abrams’ Hollywood takeover, but none of his other projects — either before or since — have so perfectly embodied his strengths as a showman. Beginning with a surprise trailer before “Transformers,” Abrams’ greatest mystery box hatched a monster so compelling that we’re still wondering about it today, as the “Cloverfield” name alone proved enough to spawn an ongoing series of spinoffs. Of course, Matt Reeves deserves his own share of credit for directing the thing, the future “Apes” filmmaker tapping into post-9/11 trauma and the rise of digital video to create a found-footage masterpiece that’s resourceful and spectacular in equal measure. Sure, the human characters are kind of dumb, but the monster disposes of them all in due time, leaving behind only pixelated memories and the splash of something shiny in the distance. Shame about the Time Warner Center, though. Available to stream November 1. “Cam” (2018).
In the fourth installment of the fighting franchise, Boyka is shooting for the big leagues when an. Scott Adkins and Martyn Ford at an event for Boyka: Undisputed (2016) Scott Adkins and Martyn Ford. First time Boyka is using a gun in any Undisputed movies with him. Start streaming on IMDb and Fire TV devices today! Boyka undisputed 2016 full movie.
“Cam” Finally, someone has made a film about the existential horror of getting locked out of your account, and the horror is all too real. Daniel Goldhaber’s “” also touches on a number of other digital crises (e.g.
The way in which the internet’s short attention span requires people to constantly reaffirm their own existence), but this clever and unnerving mind-fuck of a movie is at its most effective when tracing the uneasy shadow relationships we share with our online personas. Read More: Played to obsessive perfection by “The Handmaid’s Tale” star, and hatched from screenwriter Isa Mazzei’s own camming experience, Alice (who performs as “Lola”) is a successful cam girl on the brink of relative stardom. She’s hellbent on climbing the charts of the popular cam site that dominates her life, and she’ll stop at nothing to get to the top (her favorite ploy for popularity: duping her viewers with grisly and elaborate fake suicides). Alice grows increasingly convinced that a life that’s watched is a life worth living, and every tip she gets from a fan is a reminder that she’s alive. Even before things go totally haywire, you get the sense that she’d sooner die than log off — or that there’s no longer any difference between the two. That’s when she’s replaced by her doppelganger. It’s one thing to curate some kind of identity on social media — to make ourselves appear more aloof and desirable than we they are in the flesh — but what happens when the projection of who we are begins to subsume the reality?
What happens when our avatars take on lives of their own? These are well-trodden ideas that predate social media, but “Cam” lends them new life by making them hyper-literal. As Kurt Vonnegut put it: “We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.” He was writing about Nazi propagandists, but his words also ring true for cam girls who constantly live-stream themselves for chat rooms full of horny strangers.
Available to stream November 16. “Happy as Lazzaro” A highlight of this year’s Cannes Film Festival, Alice Rohrwacher’s “Happy as Lazzaro” confirmed the Italian writer-director as a major force in contemporary international cinema, and someone whose dreamy and bucolic dramas have much to say about the world at large. Beyond that, they’re also a consistently incredible showcase for the filmmaker’s sister — Alba Rohrwacher — a force of nature who can will any scene to life. Here’s what IndieWire’s Eric Kohn had to say about the film after its premiere: Read More: “Rohrwacher’s surreal follow-up to her previous Cannes winner ‘The Wonders’ expands on her ongoing study of the way rural life is constantly threatened by urban progress. But this time, she expands on her naturalistic style with a welcome dose of magical realism, following the tale of Lazzaro (extraordinary discovery (Adriano Tardiolo), a peasant who serves an affluent family in the countryside. The life of Lazzaro and his peers seemingly exists out of time, until sudden events send him traveling into a future state where he doesn’t quite belong.
A fascinating, poetic statement on the endless march of time, ‘Lazzaro’ fulfills the promise of Rohrwacher’s earlier achievements while cementing her status as one of Italy’s greatest working directors.” Available to stream November 30. “Good Will Hunting” (1997) Before Ben Affleck was that awful Batman you were always reading about in the tabloids, and before Matt Damon was “a father of daughters,” they were just two wicked smart kids who met in Boston on their way to becoming Hollywood’s most beloved screenwriting duo. Remember the 1998 Oscars? It’s hard to think of another time when the film industry was so giddy to anoint a new pair of golden boys. And yet — painful as it might be for some to admit — watching “Good Will Hunting” makes it easy to remember why the movie caused such a fuss. An unassuming drama about an adorable ruffian, his ride-or-die friends, the British girl whose number he gets, the stuffy Harvard professor who realizes that he’s a math genius, and the guru-like therapist who once wasted a perfectly good World Series ticket and still won’t shut up about it, “Good Will Hunting” is the kind of movie that only would could have been made during the glory days of Miramax. And while Harvey Weinstein isn’t the only reason why this film has grown unfashionable in recent years, those who are willing to hold their nose and push through the muck (or at least skip past those shrill opening credits) might be surprised at how well this thing continues to hold up.
A largely unclassifiable love story that’s told with real tenderness, full of iconic moments, and rounded out by a wide array of brilliant performances, “Good Will Hunting” might not be the movie that started it all — “School Ties” erasure! — but it’s the movie that made the rest of it happen. For better or worse.
