‘Not Without Hope’ (2025)

This gripping survival story, directed by Joe Carnahan, is based on the real-life ordeal of four friends lost at sea in the Gulf of Mexico. When a surprise storm flips their boat, they’re left battling the harsh conditions and severe dehydration. Zachary Levi plays Nick Schuyler, the only one who survived and later wrote a book about what happened. The film powerfully portrays the strength of the human spirit when pushed to its limits. It became available to stream for all subscribers this Friday, March 13th.

‘Roofman’ (2025)

Directed by Derek Cianfrance, this movie is a true story about Jeffrey Manchester, a robber known for his unusual tactics. Channing Tatum plays Manchester, who became famous for breaking into stores by climbing onto their roofs. The film focuses on the time he spent on the run, famously hiding inside a Toys “R” Us for several months. It explores the reasons behind his crimes and how he was eventually caught. With its interesting story, this film is expected to be a popular addition to the current streaming options.

‘The Running Man’ (2025)

I’m so excited about Edgar Wright’s new film! It’s based on that incredible Stephen King novel, actually written as Richard Bachman, and it’s a really smart, gripping take on the story. The premise is terrifying – a game show where people are literally hunted for our amusement – and it’s set in a future that feels way too close to home, with huge divides between the rich and the poor. The main character enters this deadly game not for glory, but to try and keep his family afloat. What I really appreciate is that this version seems to really dig into the book’s original message about society, media, and inequality, more than other adaptations have. It’s a really tense and thought-provoking film, and the high stakes just make it even more compelling.

‘The Pink Pill: Sex, Drugs and Who Has Control’ (2024)

This documentary examines the complicated history of a drug designed to boost women’s sexual desire, and the pharmaceutical industry’s efforts to bring it to market. Featuring interviews with doctors and people who worked inside the industry, the film reveals how men and women are treated differently when it comes to sexual health. It looks at the science of female desire, and how corporate profits can influence medical research. Produced by Paramount Pictures Canada, the documentary explores the social effects and the challenges of getting these drugs approved. It’s now available for streaming and offers a fascinating look at medical and social history.

‘Regretting You’ (2025)

This movie, based on the popular novel by Colleen Hoover, tells the story of Morgan Grant and her daughter Clara, whose relationship is tested after a devastating accident. As they deal with their grief, hidden secrets come to light, threatening to pull them apart. The film follows their individual journeys of healing and their attempts to reconnect, exploring themes of love, betrayal, and the challenges of rebuilding their lives. It’s a recent addition to the growing number of book adaptations available now.

‘Due Justice’ (2023)

Kellan Lutz plays Max, a lawyer and former Marine whose world falls apart when his wife is killed and his daughter is taken. Frustrated by the slow pace of the legal system, he uses his military skills to hunt down those responsible himself. The film is a fast-paced action thriller that follows his dangerous journey through the criminal world as he seeks revenge and justice for his family. If you enjoy intense action and suspense, this movie is now available to watch.

‘Top Gun: Maverick’ (2022)

Top Gun: Maverick sees Pete ‘Maverick’ Mitchell return to the Navy’s fighter pilot school to teach a group of young aviators for a challenging mission. One of his students is the son of his late friend, Goose, which makes Maverick face his past and his own fears. The film is known for its realistic flight scenes and stunning aerial photography, and has been highly praised by critics. Tom Cruise returns as Maverick, adding depth and a sense of history to the character. It’s a sequel to the original Top Gun, but with updated technology and a new, compelling storyline.

‘The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie’ (2004)

‘The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie’ is an exciting adventure where SpongeBob and Patrick travel to Shell City. They’re on a quest to get back King Neptune’s stolen crown and clear Mr. Krabs’ name. During their journey, the two friends face tough challenges that push their bravery and friendship to the limit, all while leaving the familiar setting of Bikini Bottom. The movie blends the show’s classic funny moments with a big, action-packed story that everyone can enjoy. It’s a key part of the SpongeBob franchise and you can watch it online now.

‘Scary Movie 2’ (2001)

Keenen Ivory Wayans directs this funny sequel, which playfully spoofs classic horror movies like ‘The Haunting’ and ‘The Exorcist’. The story centers around a group of college students who sign up for a sleep study at a creepy mansion called Hell House. Things quickly get chaotic as they experience strange, supernatural events – all presented with silly humor and lots of pop culture jokes. Anna Faris and Marlon Wayans return as characters from the first movie, and the film is famous for its quick, over-the-top gags and its disrespectful, but hilarious, approach to horror.

‘Friday the 13th’ (1980)

A group of camp counselors tries to revive the infamous Camp Crystal Lake, a place haunted by the tragic drowning of a young boy years ago. Soon, they find themselves hunted and killed one by one by a hidden attacker in the surrounding woods. This movie is a groundbreaking slasher film that set the standard for many horror movies that followed, focusing on building intense suspense through its remote location and unique camera angles. It’s a classic horror pick for anyone looking for a genuinely frightening movie experience and is now available for streaming.
