Let the Right One In (2008)

Since Abigail is making kid vampires cool again at the weekend box office, we’re throwing the spotlight on one of the best in the horror genre: Let the Right One In. This is not to be confused with the short-lived Showtime series of the same name or the 2010 American remake, Let Me In, which is a good film in its own right.  This Swedish film was the first adaptation of John Ajvide Lindqvist’s 2004 novel, and he even wrote the script as well.

Kåre Hedebrant stars as Oskar, a bullied kid growing up in the early 1980s in Stockholm. Oskar’s in dire need of a friend when he meets Eli (Lina Leandersson), whom he regards as a kindred spirit. What Oscar doesn’t realize is that Eli is a vampire who can only bring chaos and death into his life. But sometimes, true friendship is more important than any conventional morality.

Watch Let the Right One In on Peacock.

Spider-Man 2 (2004)

The original Spider-Man trilogy is on Peacock through the end of the month, but Spider-Man 2 is easily the best of the three. It’s also among the greatest superhero movies ever made thanks to a great villain — Alfred Molina’s tragic Doctor Octopus — as well as the personal drama in the life of Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire).

Peter has already pushed Mary Jane Watson (Civil War‘s Kirsten Dunst) away from him for her own protection, only to watch her get engaged to another man. Meanwhile, his best friend, Harry Osborn (James Franco), is convinced that Spider-Man murdered his father. If only some Osborn family butler would speak up!

To compound Peter’s problems, his superhuman powers are starting to fade just as an accident turns Otto Octavius into Doctor Octopus. If Peter can’t get his head back in the game, he may lose more than just his life.

Tombstone (1993)

Tombstone takes more than a few creative liberties with the story of Wyatt Earp (Kurt Russell) and the infamous Gunfight at the O.K. Corral. But when a film is this entertaining, does it matter if it’s not strictly historically accurate? Val Kilmer turns in one of his best performances as Wyatt’s friend, Doc Holliday. The two relocate to Tombstone to start new lives alongside Wyatt’s brothers, Virgil Earp (Sam Elliott) and Morgan Earp (Bill Paxton).

Unfortunately, Tombstone is controlled by “Curly Bill” Brocius (Powers Boothe), Johnny Ringo (Michael Biehn), and their gang, the Cowboys. Wyatt can only withstand their lawlessness for so long before leading a posse to bring all of the Cowboys to justice.

Watch Tombstone on Peacock.

Check out this great movie before it leaves Amazon Prime Video next week
Multiple actors as Mr. Blue, Green, Grey, & Brown discuss how to leave the subway tunnels in The Taking of Pelham 123.

Among the many frustrating things about the modern streaming landscape is that, in addition to not knowing what to watch, it's also difficult to know when you'll actually be able to see it. Although Amazon Prime Video has plenty of great movies, those movies come to the streamer and leave it seemingly at random because of complicated rights agreements that no regular person should ever care about or understand.

It can be hard to make sure you catch a great movie before it leaves, which is why you should definitely make time to watch The Taking of Pelham One Two Three before it leaves Prime Video at the end of April. The movie, which tells the story of a MTA train heist in 1970s New York, holds up remarkably well 50 years later. Here are three reasons you should check it out.
It's a perfectly paced heist movie

3 underrated movies you need to watch in May 2024
A man leans against a wall in The Fall Guy.

April was a bit of a low-key month for movies, but there was still plenty of pleasure to be had at the theater. Indies were well-represented with the surreal sci-fi movie The Beast while multiplexes enjoyed the social commentary and IMAX action set pieces of Alex Garland's appropriately divisive Civil War.

May, however, will be a different story, as the summer season is set to begin on May 3 with the premiere of The Fall Guy, an action comedy starring everyone's favorite actor of the moment, Ryan Gosling. May will also see apes conquesting another planet, a biopic about Amy Winehouse that's already enraged people on social media, a different take on the slasher movie genre, and one of the most highly anticipated prequels of the last decade. Oh, and Garfield's back. Again. Which of these are worth seeing? Find out by checking out our top three picks out of all the movies scheduled for release in May 2024.
