10 Movies You Can Finally Stream This Weekend

Superman's finally on HBO Max, and honestly, that's all you need to know. But if you're looking for more options this weekend, here's what just dropped on streaming.

'Superman' (HBO Max)

David Corenswet absolutely nails it as the Man of Steel in James Gunn's summer blockbuster. This isn't your brooding, conflicted Superman - Corenswet brings actual joy and optimism to the role, something we haven't seen since Christopher Reeve. Nicholas Hoult plays Lex Luthor as the ultimate tech-bro villain, and it works perfectly. If you only watch one movie this weekend, make it this one.

'Elio' (Disney+)

Pixar's going full 1980s nostalgia with this one. A space-obsessed kid (voiced by Yonas Kibreab) actually gets abducted by aliens and becomes best friends with a blob creature. It's basically "E.T." meets "The Last Starfighter," which isn't necessarily a bad thing if you've got kids who've never seen either.

'Ice Road: Vengeance' (Netflix)

Liam Neeson's back as a heroic trucker, because apparently that's a thing now. This time he's driving to Mount Everest and fighting mercenaries while saving a bus full of tourists. Look, nobody's winning Oscars here, but if you enjoyed the ridiculous first movie, you'll probably like this one too.

'Screamboat' (Peacock)

Remember how Mickey Mouse entered public domain? Well, someone turned Steamboat Willie into a horror movie. David Howard Thornton (the guy who plays Art the Clown) is a murderous mouse terrorizing people on a ferry. It's exactly as insane as it sounds, and definitely not for Disney adults.

'Smurfs' (Paramount+)

Papa Smurf gets kidnapped and his brothers have to save him in this animated musical. John Goodman voices Papa, Rihanna's Smurfette, and Kurt Russell plays Papa's macho brother Ken. Yes, you read that right - Kurt Russell is playing a buff Smurf. James Corden's also in it as a Smurf trying to find his "thing," which feels very on-brand.

'Swiped' (Hulu)

Lily James plays Whitney Wolfe Herd, the woman who co-founded Tinder then created Bumble after getting pushed out. It's a decent biopic about tech-bro misogyny and toxic masculinity in Silicon Valley. Not groundbreaking cinema, but James makes it watchable.

'Warfare' (HBO Max)

Will Poulter and Joseph Quinn lead a cast of Navy SEALs in what might be the most realistic war movie you'll see this year. Directors Alex Garland and Ray Mendoza (an actual ex-soldier whose story this is based on) don't pull any punches. This one's brutal and unflinching - you've been warned.

'The Wedding Banquet' (Paramount+)

Two gay couples fake marriages for green cards and fertility treatment money, then everything goes sideways when relatives demand a huge Korean wedding. Lily Gladstone, Kelly Marie Tran, and Bowen Yang star in this romantic comedy that's getting solid word-of-mouth.

'The Wrong Paris' (Netflix)

Miranda Cosgrove plays a Texas girl who thinks she's going on "The Bachelor" to get to France but ends up back in her hometown competing for a cowboy. It's predictable rom-com fluff, but sometimes that's exactly what you need on a Friday night.

'aka Charlie Sheen' (Netflix)

This two-part documentary is just Charlie Sheen sitting at a diner table talking about his life. He covers everything - the partying, the problems, that whole "winning" era. Apparently he was up for "The Karate Kid," which is the kind of random trivia that makes this worth watching if you're into celebrity mishaps.

The big winner here is obviously "Superman" if you want a blockbuster, but "Warfare" looks like the critical darling, and "Screamboat" is perfect if you want something completely unhinged. Meanwhile, Netflix is betting you'll either watch Liam Neeson punch people on ice or Charlie Sheen explain his life choices.

Pick your poison. Or just watch Superman. Seriously, it's really good.
