It’s a brand new month, and though it might seem like all hope is lost for 2020, at least streaming services have kept us occupied with plenty of stuff to watch. And like most platforms, Amazon Prime is dropping a ton of new movies on day one of July so that you can fill up your list and stay glued to your television. Not every flick releasing today is a winner, but you’re likely to find at least a handful of things you’re going to be dying to see.
For starters, Buried is an underrated Ryan Reynolds thriller launching on the service today, and if you can manage to sit through an hour and a half of a film that takes place entirely within a coffin, you’ll find a hell of a riveting experience. This extraordinarily tense pic tells the story of an American civilian truck driver who is captured by terrorists and wakes up buried under the ground with nothing but a lighter and a cellphone. It’s 95 minutes that are sure to keep you on the edge of your seat if you can handle it.
Elsewhere, you can check out Spanglish, an often forgotten comedy-drama from 2004 starring Adam Sandler. The actor turns in a more serious role here as he grapples with love and language barriers on his journey to figure out this crazy little thing called life, and though it’s neither his funniest nor his most dramatic film, it’s well worth a few hours of your time.
A few other must-watch flicks include Rob Zombie’s The Devil’s Rejects, compelling thriller Panic Room, and Seth Rogen and James Franco’s hilarious Pineapple Express.
