Even though temperatures are rising across much of the nation, it doesn’t signify we abandon our love for movies. Not at all! In fact, spending a Saturday inside an air-conditioned room watching a movie can be the perfect way to unwind. Are you looking for something currently playing in cinemas or freshly out? We’ve got some exciting picks for June: one of the must-see films of 2025, a smart reboot that’s worth the wait, and a film so catastrophic that it’s worth investigating the fuss!

Sinners
Ryan Coogler, 137 minutes
https://youtube.com/watch?v=watch?v=7joulECTx_U&pp=0gcJCdgAo7VqN5tD
Ryan Coogler solidified his status as one of the prominent filmmakers of his era with this remarkable blend of music and horror, featuring Michael B. Jordan in dual roles. Their brothers establish a juke joint in the heart of the Deep South, but on their inaugural night, they’re ambushed – not by typical Southern foes, but by Irish vampires. This film serves as a critique of cultural appropriation cloaked within a genre movie, and Coogler’s brilliant direction makes it the highest-grossing original blockbuster in 15 years, demonstrating that people are eager to spend their money on something truly captivating. Watch or purchase it on Video On Demand.

The Amateur
James Hawes, 122 minutes

In today’s movie landscape, where many films become available for Premium Video On Demand (PVOD) shortly after their cinematic debut, a two-month gap between theatrical release and home streaming services for this thriller can seem like an eternity. Granted, 60 days before PVOD isn’t much to fuss about, but the main issue lies in the film’s minimal impact. With Rami Malek portraying a CIA cryptographer who becomes a one-man vigilante after his wife Sarah (Rachel Brosnahan) is murdered, his quest for justice takes him through a world of corruption and betrayal. A remake of the 1981 original, this film might be more appealing when watched from home rather than in theaters. You can rent or buy it on VOD.

Zach Lipovsky & Adam B. Stein, 110 minutes

Almost two decades since the apparent last film in the series, Warner Brothers unveiled one of the most delightfully entertaining reboots in a while with this gory production, aptly titled “Final Destination”. Kicking off with an exhilarating scene depicting a restaurant plummeting multiple stories, it’s a movie that almost ties up the entire franchise and offers a heartfelt farewell to the legendary Tony Todd posthumously. Above all, directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein understand what fans seek in this unique blend of Rube Goldberg machinery and slasher films – a series implying Death lurks everywhere, with a touch of humor.
