Netflix has the most recent films available to stream online this week. The much anticipated Extraction sequel is the top domestic grossing picture on the big red streaming machine.
Check see the controversial film Beau is Afraid if you’re in the mood for something a little crazier and more thought-provoking on the big screen. A criminal comedy starring Jon Hamm and the true story of the man who dared to challenge Mozart for the kingdom are both safer bets.
Meanwhile, Peacock offers a light-hearted action comedy about a young woman with stunt-woman aspirations. Now, what about Disney’s streaming service? There’s a documentary there on Stan Lee’s career that Marvel Studios helped make.
Beau is afraid(Electronic Version)
‘Elevated’ horror has been coined, and some credit its creator, Beau Is Afraid filmmaker Ari Aster. However, his newest picture represents a departure from his previous works. Even while Beau Is Afraid has some of the most frightening moments of any film, it also has some of the most bizarre and amusing moments as well. While watching, you may get the impression that the filmmaker is simply sharing his own insecurities with you.
The film stars Joaquin Phoenix as Beau, a guy whose stunted growth regularly comes in the way of his own success. You might wonder, “What is Beau so afraid of?” The sad truth is that almost every question can be answered in the affirmative. As Beau navigates the urban crime panic of the present while also dealing with his own mother difficulties, he is virtually submerged in his concerns.
You thought Chris Hemsworth’s Tyler Rake perished at the conclusion of Extraction, didn’t you? You were mistaken. The highly trained Australian black operations merc is returning for another mission that may end in his death but, assuming the film goes well on Netflix, definitely won’t.
Rake’s current mission is to free a man named Ketevan (Tinatin Dalakishvili) who is being held by the Georgian thug Tornike Gogrichiani’s character, Zurab. In the process, we’ll get to know Tyler better and see the flesh-and-blood spy behind the mask.
Who else is in the car with us? Golshifteh Farahani and Adam Bessa are back as Nik and Yaz Khan, and this time they’re joined by model/actor Olga Kurylenko as Mia.
Chevalier (Digital, Netflix)
Stephen Williams’ Chevalier is one of those critically acclaimed films that, after a disappointingly brief theatrical run, will hopefully find its audience on streaming services. The film Chevalier (Kelvin Harrison Jr.), which is based on the life of Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges (a Creole fencer and musician with great talent), aims to present a narrative that was overlooked in many history classes.
Bologne had a tough time breaking into the upper class, especially since Mozart (Joseph Prowen) saw the newcomer with a lot of melanin as competition. Harrison Jr. was lauded for his impossibly assured showing.
Cartoon Network Plus: Stan Lee
(Video Credits: Marvel Entertainment)
Disney has produced a film on Stan Lee’s life for people who are only familiar with him (and his comics) through the films they inspired. While it aims to highlight how Lee revolutionised Marvel’s comics, the film also avoids delving too deeply into his personal life and legal issues.
The film, directed by David Gelb, had its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival, and early reviews indicated that it tells the narrative of how Marvel gained momentum in the 1960s. The video features behind-the-scenes footage from Lee’s time on sets, narrated by Lee himself after his death.

It’s incredible what type of cast you can assemble when you have a famous actor or actress in charge. John Slattery (Mad Men’s silver fox Roger Sterling) cast Jon Hamm as the head of police investigating two murders involving people with the same name in his second feature-length film. M. C. “Maggie” Moore
He meets a neighbour (Tina Fey) at work who appears to have watched too many real crime documentaries and falls in love with her. Now that they’ve made their faults public, the two idiot criminals (Micah Stock and Happy Anderson) are trying to clear their names, but they keep finding new ways to implicate themselves.
Maybe I Do(Hulu)
It’s clear that Allen (Luke Bracey) isn’t thrilled with the idea of getting married. After making a fool of himself in front of Michelle (Emma Roberts) during the bouquet toss, he is now in a position where she is counting on him to redeem himself.
But even Allen is missing out on a lot of what’s really happening. Michelle’s parents (Richard Gere and Diane Keaton) are having an affair with his own (Susan Sarandon and William H. Macy). Yikes.
Polite Society (Peacock)
Teenagers like Ria (Priya Kansara) are just as common as those who hope to make it in the entertainment industry as actors. Lena, Ria’s elder sister (Ritu Arya), nevertheless, has her back even if their parents don’t.
Lena may not spend as much time with her sister Ria now that a suitor has swept her older sister off her feet. As Lena is drawn into a nasty household and her sister must rescue her, the tone of Polite Society shifts to that of an action film. Thankfully, she has the skills to prevent disaster. Polite Society has been hailed as a delightful mashup of Bollywood and British culture.
Extraction 2 (Netflix)
You thought Chris Hemsworth’s Tyler Rake perished at the conclusion of Extraction, didn’t you? You were mistaken. The highly trained Australian black operations merc is returning for another mission that may end in his death but, assuming the film goes well on Netflix, definitely won’t.
Rake’s current mission is to free a man named Ketevan (Tinatin Dalakishvili) who is being held by the Georgian thug Tornike Gogrichiani’s character, Zurab. In the process, we’ll get to know Tyler better and see the flesh-and-blood spy behind the mask.
