New Movies on Streaming This Weekend – Прогноз цен

Lots of exciting new movies are now available to stream this weekend! Here’s a guide to help you find the best recently released films to enjoy when you relax.

Weekends are often for going to the movies, but if you’d rather stay home, you can easily enjoy a film with popcorn and cozy up on the couch in your pajamas.

If you’re in the mood for a scare, you can now stream Black Phone 2 at home, even though the holiday season is approaching. Netflix also has Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, and there’s a new comedy featuring Keanu Reeves as an angel who gets in over his head when the person he’s supposed to be helping goes rogue.

As a total movie buff, I’ve been keeping an eye on what’s new to stream and rent, and I’ve rounded up five fantastic films you can enjoy from the comfort of your couch this weekend. Get ready for some great viewing!

Black Phone 2 (VOD)

Following the successful horror film The Black Phone (2021), a new story unfolds. Finney Blake, still struggling with the events of the first movie, finds himself haunted again by the villain, the Grabber. This time, the Grabber is terrorizing new victims – including Finney’s sister Gwen – even after his death.

The sequel to the terrifying first film moves the action to a snowy summer camp where Finney and Gwen work together to uncover the origins of the Grabber’s crimes. Black Phone 2 leans more into classic slasher horror, similar to the Nightmare on Elm Street movies, turning Ethan Hawke’s villain into a more overtly menacing and powerful figure.

Black Phone 2 is available for rent or purchase on VOD, including Amazon Prime.

Frankenstein (Netflix)

As a huge fan of Guillermo del Toro, I wasn’t surprised at all by how beautifully dark his take on Frankenstein is. It really feels like a natural extension of everything he’s done – that signature gothic style and fascination with the macabre are all over it, and it’s fantastic.

Guillermo del Toro’s take on Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is a haunting story centered around the brilliant but arrogant scientist Victor Frankenstein (Oscar Isaac). His relentless pride results in tragedy when his creation (Jacob Elordi) is abandoned and forced to live a solitary, heartbreaking life.

Frankenstein is streaming exclusively on Netflix.

The Smashing Machine (VOD)

Dwayne Johnson received critical acclaim for his performance as MMA fighter Mark Kerr in Benny Safdie’s biographical sports drama, The Smashing Machine.

This movie is based on the true story of Mark Kerr, a former MMA and UFC champion. It shows how his drive to be perfect led to struggles with addiction, the difficulties of fame, a troubled personal life, and the lasting damage caused by years of intense fighting.

The Smashing Machine is available to rent or purchase via VOD.

Good Fortune (VOD)

Aziz Ansari wrote, directed, and stars in Good Fortune, a funny and thought-provoking movie about wealth inequality with a supernatural twist. The film also features Keanu Reeves, Seth Rogen, Sandra Oh, and Keke Palmer.

A kind-hearted angel (Reeves) tries to teach a lesson about happiness by switching the lives of a struggling Los Angeles worker and a rich investor. But when the worker enjoys his new life and refuses to switch back, the angel risks losing his angelic status and being forced to live as a human himself.

Good Fortune is available to rent or purchase via VOD, including Amazon Prime.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps (Disney+)

The first official Fantastic Four movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe introduces the superhero team – Reed Richards (Mister Fantastic), Sue Storm, Ben Grimm, and Johnny Storm – as they battle Galactus, a massive being who wants to consume planets. The stakes are incredibly high, as Galactus specifically targets Reed and Sue’s newborn baby, but we won’t reveal why!

I just finished watching this amazing movie, and I’m still thinking about it! It’s set in a really cool, retro-future version of the 1960s, and it’s full of action, but what I loved most was the heart. It follows four heroes who are determined to save the world, and they do it by relying on each other – their family bond is seriously their greatest strength. It’s a really touching story!

The Fantastic Four: First Steps is streaming for free on Disney+.

The Worst Movie of Every Decade, According to Letterboxd

1920s: The Broadway Melody (1929)

With an average Letterboxd score of just 2.4, The Broadway Melody is known as one of the worst films to ever win Best Picture at the Academy Awards. This explains why it’s the lowest-rated movie from the 1920s on the site. While it’s not actually the worst film of the decade, it’s surprisingly popular today because people often watch all the Best Picture winners – and this one doesn’t hold up well!

1930s: Reefer Madness (1938)

With an average Letterboxd score of 2.1, this film is infamous for being a sensationalist scare film (originally titled Tell Your Children) about the supposed dangers of marijuana. It’s a classic example of “Reefer Madness,” and while it was over-the-top in 1938, it’s even more unintentionally funny today. Let’s be honest, many of us have probably considered watching it as a bit of ironic fun!

1940s: I Accuse My Parents (1944)

The average Letterboxd score for this film is 2.0. One reason for low scores, particularly for older movies, is Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K). The show is well-known for featuring and popularizing bad movies. I Accuse My Parents is a particularly famous episode, often considered a favorite of MST3K creator Joel Hodgson and frequently ranking high in viewer polls.

1950s: King Dinosaur (1955)

The average Letterboxd score for this film is 1.8. It originally aired on Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K) in 1990 as part of the show’s second season. It’s a classic B-movie from director Bert I. Gordon, who was known for creating delightfully cheesy films like The Amazing Colossal Man, Earth vs. the Spider, War of the Colossal Beast, The Magic Sword, Tormented, Beginning of the End, and Village of the Giants—all of which were perfect for MST3K’s comedic treatment.

1960s: Monster A Go-Go (1965)

With an average Letterboxd score of just 1.5, Monster A Go-Go is widely considered one of the worst films ever made. Directed (uncredited) by exploitation filmmaker Herschell Gordon Lewis, it’s a low-budget sci-fi horror that follows an astronaut who transforms into a monster upon returning to Earth. The film was shot in two separate parts, leading to a disjointed and confusing story. It gained notoriety long before becoming a season four episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000, and its terrible reputation is exactly what draws attention on platforms like Letterboxd.

1970s: The Star Wars Holiday Special (1978)

The average Letterboxd score for it is just 1.5 out of 5. While many casual Star Wars fans dislike The Rise of Skywalker, it’s a masterpiece compared to The Star Wars Holiday Special. This infamous TV movie was made quickly between the first Star Wars film and The Empire Strikes Back to capitalize on the franchise’s popularity. It’s a painful 100 minutes filled with silly singing, bad jokes, and bizarre celebrity cameos (like Art Carney and Bea Arthur!). It does include one decent cartoon, which notably features the first appearance of Boba Fett. However, even with its terrible reputation, the Holiday Special might actually be even worse than people say. Despite never being released on DVD or Blu-ray, it’s become a widely known example of truly awful pop culture. If something is compared to The Star Wars Holiday Special, it means it’s beyond bad – it’s completely embarrassing.

1980s: Going Overboard (1989)

With an average Letterboxd score of just 1.4, Adam Sandler’s early film Going Overboard is considered a major flop. This cruise ship-set “comedy,” featuring beauty pageant contestants, is notoriously unfunny. Interestingly, the film was famously rushed into production – reportedly written in three days, cast in one, prepped in two, and filmed in just six. Despite this incredibly quick turnaround, many find it even worse than expected.

1990s: Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (1997)

With an average Letterboxd score of 1.5, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation is widely considered a terrible film. Despite having a budget nearly double that of the first Mortal Kombat movie, it looks shockingly bad – the special effects are so poor they wouldn’t even work in an old Sega CD game. This just proves that throwing money at a project doesn’t guarantee success. While the original Kombat wasn’t a masterpiece, it was at least watchable. Annihilation is so awful it feels like it was deliberately made badly, perhaps as part of a scheme to defraud investors – like the plot of the movie The Producers.

2000s: Dragonball Evolution (2009)

With an average Letterboxd score of 0.9, this live-action adaptation of the popular manga and anime series Dragonball has been named the lowest-rated 2000s movie on the platform. The film was criticized for casting white actors in roles originally held by people of color (with Justin Chatwin playing Goku) and for straying significantly from the source material. The screenwriter, Ben Ramsey, even publicly apologized in 2016 for what he considered a poor adaptation, stating he took full responsibility for the film’s failure. However, his apology hasn’t improved the movie’s reception on Letterboxd.

2010s: Swiped

With an average Letterboxd score of just 1.1, this Noah Centineo comedy has become notorious. The film, about a college student who enlists his awkward roommate to build a dating app, is now considered the lowest-rated movie of the 2010s on the platform, even beating out M. Night Shyamalan’s The Last Airbender. One reviewer perfectly summed it up by saying they show this movie to people when they want to upset them.

2020s: War of the Worlds (2025)

This new take on H.G. Wells’ The War of the Worlds stars Ice Cube, but surprisingly, he isn’t the hero. In fact, the humans aren’t really saving the day – Amazon does. The movie essentially turns Amazon into the solution to the alien invasion. For example, a key item needed by Ice Cube’s character can only be delivered via Amazon’s drone service, Prime Air, with a character conveniently pausing during the apocalypse to advertise it as “the future of delivery!” It’s pretty surprising, given how much criticism the film has received on Letterboxd.
