The Conjuring: Last Rites (HBO Max)
The final installment of The Conjuring series is now on HBO Max. With a divisive 59% important score on Rotten Tomatoes, although it may not be the conclusion everybody wished.
You can resolve for your self as you dive into The Conjuring: Last Rites, which follows Ed and Lorraine Warren as they arrive out of retirement to give attention to a case tied to their first-ever ghostly encounter.
By the way in which, if you happen to need assistance understanding the usually complicated universe, take a look at my information about how to watch The Conjuring movies in order. – Lucy Buglass, senior leisure author
The Mighty Nein season 1 (Prime Video)
It’s time to return to Exandria – however to not be reunited with the misfits who star in The Legend of Vox Machina. Instead, it is time for The Mighty Nein, aka the second Dungeons and Dragons (DnD) marketing campaign from in style tabletop role-playing group Critical Role, to take the highlight.
Set 20 years after the occasions of Vox Machina (FYI, its fourth season arrives in early 2026), Amazon‘s newest grownup animated collection will – like its forebear – adapt quite than recreate the plot of Critical Role’s sophomore DnD marketing campaign.
Following a brand new group of outcasts and mavericks, The Mighty Nein explores a brand new nook of Exandria, and can goal to enthral Prime Video customers with its distinctive mix of excessive fantasy, grotesque motion, crude humor, and trauma-led storytelling. One that followers of Vox Machina, Invincible, and Hazbin Hotel will lap up. – TP
Train Dreams (Netflix)
If I’ve stated it as soon as, I’ve stated it a thousand instances: Train Dreams is my favourite Netflix film of 2025.
Not solely did I’ve zero expectations earlier than watching it, however I by no means would have guessed that the fictional lifetime of lumberjack Robert Grainier (Joel Edgerton) would have such a profound impression.
Working on the agricultural railroads within the early 1900s, Robert’s life is a cautionary story of affection, loss, and studying to dwell once more. In extra transient moments, Train Dreams challenges the socio-political panorama of the time, and it is one thing that weighs closely on Robert as he will get older.
What’s most astounding is the way it subtly reframes conventional masculinity. Robert ought to be the final word man’s man, along with his look and job superficially defining him that approach. But, if you see his vulnerability, emotion, and open coronary heart round his spouse and daughter, the whole lot shifts. Read extra in my Train Dreams review. – Jasmine Valentine, leisure reporter
The Roses (Hulu)
Cinematic excellence appears like Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch throwing insults, meals, and furnishings… or not less than it’s in my world. The Roses, which is out now on Hulu (NB: it will be out on Disney+ outdoors of the US in early December) sensible scratched the itch for silliness upon its preliminary theatrical launch, and I am unable to wait to return in for a second serving to.
From Ivy’s (Colman) seafood restaurant being named ‘We’ve Got Crabs!’ to Theo’s (Cumberbatch) chaotic illustration of what it means to be a stay-at-home dad or mum, the humorous particulars are completely finessed. But, that does not imply it is all a pantomime – at its core, there are some universally critical issues of their marriage which can be confronted head-on.
If nothing else, it is extremely relatable, even when the film tries and fails to move off Devon within the UK as California. But, hey, believing in one thing that is not there’s what the magic of cinema is all about. – JV
After The Hunt (Prime Video)
On paper, this new psychological thriller has all of the makings of a surefire hit. With award-winning director Luca Guadagnino on the helm and an A-list solid together with Julia Roberts, Ayo Edebiri and Andrew Garfield, that is sufficient to persuade a broad viewers to observe one of many newest new Prime Video movies.
At its core, the movie tackles a darkish however compelling story a couple of pupil’s sexual assault accusation towards a professor, exploring themes of consent and cancel tradition. Despite its potential, After the Hunt fell flat with audiences, with many critics taking situation with its multi-perspective narrative.
From what I can collect, it makes an attempt to discover themes of guilt and innocence by utilizing conflicting viewpoints to shine a lightweight on the complexities of such a heavy subject material. But, for some, it is method dilutes its message. – Amelia Schwanke, senior leisure editor
The Family Plan 2 (Apple TV)
Grab a mince pie and hearth up that shiny new Apple TV subscription (particularly if you happen to snagged Prime Video’s cut price add-on within the Black Friday streaming deals). It’s time to correctly get into the vacation spirit, as a result of this new motion flick is sliding down the streaming chimney and guarantees much more dumb enjoyable than its predecessor.
The Family Plan 2 sees Mark Wahlberg reprise his function as Dan, a spy-turned-dad who simply can’t fairly shake off his murderer previous. Now that the entire household is aware of about his violent historical past, it looks like a European trip ought to be clean crusing… till, in fact, it isn’t. Enter a brand new risk, a mysterious shopper performed by Kit Harington, who shakes up Dan’s world as he tries to get pleasure from a festive London and Paris.
Expect foolish motion and senseless enjoyable – mainly, the whole lot you need in a festive action-comedy that’s entertaining for the entire household on Apple‘s streamer this weekend. – AS
A Man on the Inside season 2 (Netflix)
I had a blast with season 1 of A Man on the Inside, so I’m very excited to dive into season 2. And, if you happen to had any considerations it wouldn’t be pretty much as good as the primary, A Man on the Inside season 2 already has a glowing 93% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Clearly, it is achieved one thing proper, then!
Ted Danson is again as a Charles, a widower and retired school engineering professor turned non-public investigator. There’s some nice visitor stars, too, together with Danson’s actual life spouse Mary Steenburgen, Constance Marie and David Strathairn. All episodes are actually streaming if you’d like a bingeworthy, chuckle out loud comedy to see you thru the weekend. – LB
