Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) makes his third major Marvel Cinematic Universe appearance. The film is both the MCU debut of this mercenary and a tribute to the Fox-era Marvel films, especially the “X-Men” franchise, with Hugh Jackman once again donning adamantium claws to play Wolverine. Filled with meta-humor, high-octane action, and countless Deadpool variants, “Deadpool and Wolverine” successfully reinvigorated the MCU after a period of stagnation for the superhero series.

In the film, Wade Wilson, aka Deadpool, is recruited by the Time Varying Bureau and given the chance to join the MCU, but instead the foul-mouthed anti-hero goes rogue upon learning that his universe will soon be destroyed. To save his universe, Wilson must team up with a variant of Wolverine who is reluctant to save its world over a morally flexible mercenary. Reynolds and Jackman's bromance is “Deadpool & Wolverine's” biggest strength, but the many brilliant cameos are a close second.

I do not recommend watching “Megalopolis” this week. After all, I recently named it the worst movie I have seen in theaters in the year 2024 (to date). But since the premium streaming debut of Francis Ford Coppola's latest (and potentially final) film is still so remarkable in the world of cinema, personal feelings aside, I've added this sci-fi drama to this list. Megalopolis joins the ranks of the biggest flops of all time, grossing less than $15 million on a budget of more than $120 million. Yikes.

The bizarre film stars Cesar (Adam Driver), a vaguely futuristic New York visionary architect who plans to build a utopia called “Megalopolis.” “ He runs into opposition from a corrupt mayor (Giancarlo Esposito) and simultaneously falls in love with his new muse, Julia (Nathalie Emmanuelle).

One of Netflix's big awards contenders is coming to streaming this week after a limited theatrical run (a requirement to qualify for the Academy Awards). Emilia Perez is a sprawling crime movie centered around a strong trio of leads. It is also a musical, which may be somewhat controversial on Netflix. But in my view, it is another high-quality offering from the streaming service, and the less you know about it, the even better it is, so resist the urge to watch the trailer in advance if you can.

The film begins with a frustrated young lawyer named Rita (Zoe Saldaña) being offered an offer she cannot refuse. Years later, Rita is reunited with her former crime boss, now living as Emilia Perez. In addition, Emilia's bitter ex-wife (Selena Gomez) makes an appearance, and various dramas unfold.

The overlooked “Thelma” is coming to Hulu this week. With a great premise and a 98% score on Rotten Tomatoes, this addition to the popular streaming service may finally get the attention it deserves.

One of the biggest blockbusters of the year and the film that defined Glen Powell's summer, “Twisters” is a very watchable disaster movie.

Moreover, there is an undeniable excitement in the sight of man battling the ultimate force, Mother Nature.

Kate Carter (Edgar-Jones) is a former researcher who has stopped chasing storms since encountering a massive tsunami several years ago. However, Kate is drawn back into the world of tornadoes by an old friend, Javi (Ramos). Back on the job, she soon meets Tyler Owens (Powell), an arrogant chaser.

This independent drama starring Elliott Page premiered at last year's Toronto International Film Festival and had a very modest theatrical release earlier this year. Page plays Sam, a man who reluctantly returns to his hometown for a family reunion. Here he is confronted with growing family tensions, but also reunites with an old friend and takes the first steps on a journey of self-acceptance. Clearly a passion project for Page, the critiques of the film are solid but not spectacular.
