'Ballad of a Small Player'
Lord Doyle (Colin Farrell) tries to live the high life in Macau, gambling his nights away until a string of bad luck catches up to him.

Where to watch: Netflix
'The Cut'
A decade after missing his chance at stardom, an Irish boxer (Orlando Bloom) gets another round of redemption against the current champ, if the fighter can make weight – in his case, lose 25 pounds in a week. The drama veers from the usual sports-movie cliches by exploring mental health and eating disorders with a dose of psychological horror.
Where to watch: Paramount+
'The Hand That Rocks the Cradle'
It's definitely a different, more grounded take on the soapy 1992 original, which featured a deliciously over-the-top Rebecca De Mornay. This time, it's Maika Monroe as the manipulative nanny who inserts herself into a family dynamic – for reasons – and Mary Elizabeth Winstead as the wife forced to deal with her shady shenanigans.
Where to watch: Hulu
'Hedda'
In the period drama, Tessa Thompson's title character hosts a party at her new place to increase her clout and help her husband score an important professorship. Her ex-lover (Nina Hoss) is his biggest competition and is also invited to the shindig. Thompson fuels the twisty, sexy and deadly night that unfolds with dangerous allure.
Where to watch: Prime Video
'A House of Dynamite'
If you're feeling iffy about the state of the world, Kathryn Bigelow's political thriller won't exactly be a pick-me-up. But it is an important watch, imagining a scenario where government officials have 18 minutes before a nuclear missile hits America in a nerve-shredding movie starring Idris Elba, Jared Harris and Rebecca Ferguson .
Where to watch: Netflix
'Jurassic World Rebirth'
The latest installment in the long-running "Jurassic" franchise tries something different by throwing a heist movie into the usual perilous adventure. Scarlett Johansson , Jonathan Bailey and Oscar winner Mahershala Ali go on a mission to procure dino DNA for a shady businessman and run into a mess of mutated monsters .
Where to watch: Peacock
'Shell'
Here come retreads of "The Substance," though at least this body horror satire has got some star power. Elisabeth Moss plays a former sitcom star who, after losing one too many jobs to younger actresses, comes under the sway of a powerful wellness guru (Kate Hudson) but begins to sense something sinister afoot.
Where to watch: Paramount+
'Sorry, Baby'
Eva Victor writes, directs and stars in the funny, moving dramedy as Agnes , a college literature professor still battling the psychological effects years after being sexually assaulted by her teacher. Now working in his former office, Agnes navigates panic attacks and triggered memories with the help of her best friend (Naomi Ackie) and an adorable gray cat.
Where to watch: HBO Max
'Stiller & Meara: Nothing Is Lost'
Ben Stiller directs this loving documentary about his parents, Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara. With sister Amy, Ben chronicles his mom and dad's careers, coming together as a comedy duo that hit it big on "The Ed Sullivan Show" in the 1960s, and also digs into their personal lives and the friction between them off stage.
Where to watch: Apple TV+
'Weapons'
In "Barbarian" director Zach Cregger's mystery-horror tale, a class full of elementary school kids go missing one night, their teacher (Julia Garner) becomes the town pariah, but there's something seriously witchy at work. Really, though, worth it for Amy Madigan's creepy Aunt Gladys alone.
