Midsommar
Stream on Feb. 1
Midsommar
- Release Date
- July 3, 2019
- Director
- Ari Aster
Midsommar is a horror film that follows Dani (Florence Pugh), though almost starring Haley Lu Richardson, and Christian (Jack Reynor), who travel to a rural Swedish town at the behest of their friends Josh (William Jackson Harper) and Mark (Will Poulter), who’ve been invited to attend a midsummer festival by their Swedish friend Pelle (Vilhelm Blomgren).
Although idyllic at first, the retreat quickly devolves into something more bizarre and violent as a pagan cult clearly has more nefarious plans for the group. A riveting and deeply unsettling film, fans of writer-director Ari Aster will most definitely enjoy such a film. However, if viewers find any aspect of the premise concerning, they should steer clear of the popular horror flick.

This Divisive A24 Horror Movie From 2017 Is Topping the Charts on Max
The divisive A24 horror movie It Comes at Night has found new life on streaming, but why was it met with mixed reception, and should you check it out?
The Lego Movie
Stream on Feb. 1
A wildly enjoyable film for adults and kids alike, The Lego Movie follows Emmet (Chris Pratt), who’s nothing more than another ordinary LEGO construction worker. However, when he’s accidentally confused for the “Special,” an extraordinary being who holds the key to saving the world, he’s thrust into a clan of strangers on a mission.
Naturally, he’s roped in their quest to stop an evil tyrant who wants to conquer the world by gluing every LEGO in place. Emmett is woefully unprepared for such a task; hilarity ensues as he does his best to give it his all. Also starring Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, and Morgan Freeman, the film is a delightful, family-friendly movie that viewers of all ages will enjoy, which launched the LEGO series of movies.
Dicks: The Musical
Stream Feb. 2
Dicks: The Musical is a musical comedy strictly for adults. The movie follows two business rivals, Craig (Josh Sharp) and Trevor (Aaron Jackson), who accidentally discover they’re identical twins. In the hopes of reuniting their family, the pair decide to swap places to trick their divorced parents into rekindling their relationship. An over-the-top spectacle of gleeful, provocative humor, the film knows exactly what it’s doing. Also starring Megan Mullally, Nathan Lane, Bowen Yang, and Megan Thee Stallion, such a film isn’t for the faint of heart, but it’s most definitely for any viewer willing to indulge in a vulgar and joyfully trashy movie.

Stream Feb. 8
They Called Him Mostly Harmless is a true-crime documentary about a John Doe hiker whose body was left unidentified for two years.

With no missing persons reports matching his description and no relatives coming forward to claim the man’s body, the police hit a wall.
As a result, internet sleuths took it upon themselves to take up the case. After two years of their work, they managed to discover who the hiker was as well as his reasons for deliberately vanishing in the first place. The documentary aims to tell its story via internet detective communities who aided in uncovering the mystery.
