It’s uncommon that the variety of new films outweighs their new TV brethren in our weekly streaming round-ups.
That’s the case this time, although. There are 4 – that is proper, 4! – new movies we advocate watching on the world’s greatest streaming companies this weekend (June 13 to fifteen). Admittedly, a few of them aren’t nice however, hey, you’ll be able to have fun with and/or mock them to your coronary heart’s content material if nothing else.
For the small-screen followers amongst you, there are a few new TV present choices as properly. So, don’t be concerned, we’ve not left you out! Here, then, is what you may wish to catch earlier than subsequent Monday arrives. – Tom Power, senior leisure reporter
Snow White (Disney+)
Watch On
Snow White just isn’t the fairest Disney film of all of them. Not solely did it have a disappointing field workplace run, its horrible 39% Rotten Tomatoes critics rating suggests it isn’t price investing in at dwelling, both.
Still, whereas it misses out on being a part of our greatest Disney+ films round-up, it is now obtainable to look at at dwelling. There are a number of key variations from the unique right here, together with Snow White’s namesake and love curiosity, which has been met with combined opinions.
If you’d moderately watch the unique Oscar-winning 1937 film, that is additionally streaming on Disney+ alongside loads of the classics. Either approach, you may get your fairytale repair this weekend. – Lucy Buglass, senior leisure author
Fubar season 2 (Netflix)
Watch On
He’s again – once more. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s shock Netflix TV hit Fubar has returned for its second season. After saving her daughter and fellow CIA operative final time round, Arnie’s character Luke Brenner is compelled to postpone his retirement as soon as extra to deal with a brand new menace. The villain in query? None apart from Luke’s former flame Greta (performed by The Matrix icon Carrie-Anne Moss), which complicates issues a teeny tiny bit.
Fubar is not a part of our greatest Netflix exhibits round-up proper now, however solely as a result of we recurrently rotate sequence out and in of it. If Fubar season 2 is as large of successful as its forebear, do not be shocked if it returns to stated information in explosive trend. – TP
Deep Cover (Prime Video)
Watch On
The plot for one in every of June’s new Prime Video films Deep Cover sounds intriguing. It’s about an improv comedy trainer performed by Bryce Dallas Howard (Jurassic World: Dominion) who recruits two of her college students – Nick Mohammed (Ted Lasso) and Orlando Bloom (The Lord of the Rings; Pirates of the Caribbean) – to assist her impersonate harmful criminals for an undercover cop.
If that sounds acquainted, it’s in all probability as a result of two of the British crime-comedy caper’s screenwriters (Colin Trevorrow and Derek Connolly) primarily based theis Amazon movie’s idea on real-life New York City cops who beforehand used actors as decoys.
Following its world premiere at SXSW London Screen Festival earlier this month, this Prime Video film has been obtained properly by critics (primarily based on its Rotten Tomatoes rating, anyway). That needs to be sufficient to land it a spot on our greatest Prime Video films information, then. – Amelia Schwanke, senior leisure editor
Echo Valley (Apple TV+)
Watch On
Julianne Moore not too long ago surprised me in Sirens, among the best Netflix exhibits, and now she’s on the helm of a brand new Apple TV+ film Echo Valley.
There’s a significantly spectacular forged right here, together with Euphoria‘s Sydney Sweeney, Fallout‘s Kyle MacLachlan, and Killing Eve‘s Fiona Shaw. The ensemble is so gifted, in truth, I’m going to look at it despite its 59% vital score on Rotten Tomatoes.
That’ll forestall it from becoming a member of our greatest Apple TV+ films checklist, however its premise – Moore performs a mother who helps her troubled daughter (Sweeney) cowl up against the law – is one which appeals to me. – LB
Cleaner (Max)
Watch On
Two British motion flicks in the identical week? Aren’t we fortunate. Directed by Martin Campbell (Casino Royale; Golden Eye), this movie, which has debuted on Max, has received a number of nice expertise behind it.
Daisy Ridley (Star Wars; Young Woman and the Sea) stars as an soldier-turned-window cleaner (sure, you learn that proper), who dusts off her outdated fight abilities to single-handedly save a gaggle of hostages from a radical group of activists which have taken over an power juggernaut’s gala.
I do know I’m not alone in pondering that this feels like Die Hard. Countless critics have stated as a lot since reviewing the movie (it was launched in theaters within the US earlier this yr). However, whereas it follows a tried-and-tested story, its combined opinions imply it will not make the minimize for our greatest Max films information. – AS
Titan: The Oceangate Disaster (Netflix)
Watch On
I watched Titan: The OceanGate Disaster very intently and I urge everybody to do the identical this weekend. I perceive many may be involved it is simply one other stunning documentary, however it has a number of essential insights into what truly went fallacious, together with from these concerned in its growth.
For the uninitiated: in 2023, the submersible vessel often called Titan imploded, ensuing within the deaths of all 5 passengers, together with OceanGate’s former CEO, Stockton Rush.
This properly made and, dare I say, important documentary criticizes how many individuals’s issues had been ignored within the construct as much as Titan’s journey to the Titanic wreckage, and is a crucial reminder that corporations ought to take note of the specialists they make use of. – LB
Romcon: Who the F**okay is Jason Porter? (Prime Video)

Our second new documentary decide of the week is a real crime sequence in regards to the darkish facet of relationship.

Real property dealer Heather Rovet explains how she fell in love with a charismatic handyman known as “Jace”, who she later discovers has been deceiving her. After uncovering the true id of Jason Porter, a convicted felony often called a romance scammer, Heather connects with different victims to convey him to justice.
This is not the primary relationship scammer story we have seen come to streaming, as Netflix’s The Tinder Swindler had turn out to be a sensation when it was launched in 2022. Expect Prime Video viewers to lap this one up similarly. – AS
