The 9 Best Movies On Demand Right Now (September 2022)
The Mask of Zorro
Prior to “The Mummy” or “The Pirates of the Caribbean,”” the film were “The Mask of Zorro.” The film from 1998 is based on the iconic TV series with the same name.
However, Director Martin Campbell injects this 19th century story with enough excitement as well as adventure to keep a smile in your eyes from beginning to the end. Anthony Hopkins stars as the first Zorro who is in prison for the past 20 years.
When a reckless bandit who is played by Antonio Banderas breaks him out He begins training him to follow the steps of Zorro to help save his daughter Catherine Zeta-Jones, who plays the role from the clutches of the man who placed him in jail.
Elvis (Sept. 2 on HBO Max)
At $147.9 million on the U.S. box office, Baz Luhrmann’s “Elvis” has taken the top spot over “The The Great Gatsby” as the director’s top-grossing film on the American charts. Worldwide, “Elvis” has secured around $277 million, and is still growing.
The numbers at the box office are a huge success for a mature-oriented drama that was released after the pandemic, since adult moviegoers are among the hardest audiences to entice back to the theaters.
“Elvis,” starring Austin Butler in a breakthrough performance as the King of Rock n’ Roll, got its start at Cannes and earned mixed reviews, with Variety’s Owen Gleiberman writing, “It’s a spectacle that keeps us watching but doesn’t nail Elvis’s inner life until he’s caught in a trap.
It’s a fizzy, delirious, impishly energized, compulsively watchable 2-hour-and-39-minute fever dream — a spangly pinwheel of a movie that converts the Elvis saga we all carry around in our heads into a lavishly staged biopic-as-pop-opera.”
Best Movies On Demand – True Lies
As a director who is as renowned and popular as James Cameron, some of his films are difficult to locate, especially in any sort of acceptable new edition. “True Lies” which has not ever been made available on Blu-ray, or in 4K is among these films.
It is occasionally spotted on different streaming services , but is yet to find an appropriate home, so you must be sure to grab it whenever it is available. Like right now! “True lies,” loosely remade from the 1991’s French comedy “La Totale!” is one of Cameron’s lesser-known successes.
extremely funny, sleek action film in which Arnold Schwarzenegger is a secret spy, and Jamie Lee Curtis is his bored wife who discovers the truth. The sheen of the film has faded over the time since the release (particularly its non-flattering depiction of Middle Eastern stereotypes and allegations that the stunt coordinator sexually assaulted the young Eliza Dushku), it remains a snazzy delight and evokes a the time in which Cameron was more focused on people more than computer graphics.
10 Cloverfield Lane
If you’re looking for a way to start celebrating Halloween in the early season, the film of Dan Trachtenberg’s director “10 Cloverfield Lane” sets the mood nicely. Although it isn’t directly connected with”Cloverfield,” it’s not a complete tie-in to “Cloverfield” franchise but it’s more of an in-depth thriller with twists and twists.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead stars as an innocent young woman who is thrown in a crash with a car and awakes in a bunker underground with the man (played by John Goodman) telling her that he helped her escape the same fate that made Earth in ruins.
There’s a second man who is played by John Gallagher Jr.and the three of them attempt to build a new life even as the motives behind each remain a mystery. If you like this movie, you should check out the latest film of Trachtenberg’s “Prey” which is also available on Hulu! –
Zodiac
David Fincher’s masterpiece “Zodiac” (which is, and must be mentioned at every opportune moment was not nominated for one single Academy Award) charts the story that led to The Zodiac murderer, who was a cryptic character who murdered only just a few people however, his cult status due to his frequent contact with the local media and the spread of cryptic cyphers that were coded, will be far greater than his crime.
Fincher is able to gather a formidable group of actors (among them: Mark Ruffalo, Jake Gyllenhaal, Anthony Edwards, Robert Downey, Jr.) The lives of these actors were directly or indirectly affected by the murderer (Gyllenhaal portrays a cartoonist from a newspaper who is obsessed with revealing the truth behind killings).
The film was shot using the most cutting-edge digital photography technology and techniques for visual effects, Fincher stages historical moments with remarkable accuracy.
It’s not a reenactment but an actual making. The film’s dark style only enhances the power of the film. There’s no way to know who the Zodiac is. It is possible that he’s still in the air.
Gone Girl
David Fincher as well as “Gone Girl” with David Fincher” is an ideal match. The film adaptation of Gillian Flynn book of the identical title is simultaneously entertaining and exciting, beginning as a mystery thriller before turning into a raging investigation into relationships and what masks that we put on with our loved ones and the consequences when we become tired of masks.
Ben Affleck, Rosamund Pike, Carrie Coon, Kim Dickens and Tyler Perry are expertly cast with Affleck especially putting on one of the most memorable performances of his career.
Psycho, Psycho II, Psycho III, Psycho ’98
“Psycho II” released over twenty years later than the initial film and again with Anthony Perkins and Vera Miles It was the model sequel to the legacy, incorporating elements of”Psycho,” the Alfred Hitchcock classic while inventing new elements that would be the basis for the future sequels.
It’s a great sequel even if you do not believe in the third act twist. Perkins is just as determined as he was the first time around. Meg Tilly is terrific as the new Marion and Robert Loggia and Dennis Franz provide enthralling supporting performances.
(Also Jerry Goldsmith’s soundtrack is superb, and never directly apes Bernard Herrmann, except, you know, when it’s absolutely essential.) “Psycho III” is more sinister and raunchy, with Perkins as director and amplifying the sexuality significantly while advancing the plot that was told in “Psycho II” (he also provides the films with some of his finest transitions).
Although “Psycho IV” is certainly a lot of enjoyable (with Henry Thomas playing a younger Norman Bates) it’s sadly not available on Peacock in the month of March (Shout Factory released an excellent collection Blu-ray years ago) However, at the very least we have Gus van Sant’s “underrated” version from 1998.
The shot-for-shot “Psycho” isn’t without its odd style choices at times, however, it’s impossible not to appreciate the sheer wit of it. (Also in the following the tragic death of Anne Heche, passing, it’s an appropriate memorial to her.)
“Psycho” is among the most sought-after titles by Universal and it would be great to see them pay all of the franchises their due.
Shaun of the Dead
A zombie-themed genre had already been created before “Shaun of the Dead” was born. The “zom-rom-com” was created with love by director Edgar Wright, co-writer and co-writer Simon Pegg and co-star Nick Frost to create a funny variation on – and a tribute to the genre of zombies in which Pegg and Frost play two teenagers who are struggling to make ends meet when they are confronted by an apocalypse of zombies.
In addition, Simon Pegg’s character Shaun is caught in the midst of a battle between his lover. The film placed the trio on the map in an enormous way, and is still the most-loved come Spooky Season
Elvis
There’s not much room for compromise with regards to “Elvis,” Baz Luhrmann’s dazzling musical biopic. You either are captivated by the style, or you are captivated by Elvis (as depicted by “Once Once Upon a time in Hollywood” actor Austin Butler) as the puppet of a manipulative Colonel Tom Parker (Tom Hanks) embellished with stylistic and editorial embellishments, or you believe that the film’s high-stakes tension is actually it’s overdone and not cooked.
We’re definitely in the category of “Elvis” fans, especially during the first half of the film which is when Luhrmann truly lets his wild flag fly.
(There are instances that the film can be intense and in the most effective manner.) Butler is a pleasant surprise even if the film’s unique structure often requires him to be second-fiddle to Hanks, his sneering, Goldmember-like character, with the actor covered in prosthetics while speaking with an unusual accent.
The most bizarre aspects of the film, such as the fact that it can indulge in almost every musical biopic cliché several years following “Walk Hard” has shattered the stereotypes are a bit tinny compared to the rest that “Elvis'” glittery accomplishments
