The Old Guard (new on Netflix)

There’s plenty to complain about in the way Netflix and other streaming services are reshaping the market and using stats to determine what kinds of movies are getting made, but one thing is sure: I don’t think Gina Prince-Bythwood (Love & Basketball, Beyond the Lights) would have been given the budget for a comic-book adaptation starring Charlize Theron under the studio system. Superhero action movie The Old Guard also stars Kiki Layne, Matthias Schoenaerts and Chiwetel Ejiofor and is generally being well-received by critics, who praise its sophistication and action scenes. Also dropping today is Down to Earth With Zac Efron, which seems to be a travel show where Zac Efron sits around shirtless and plays the didgeridoo or something, and The Twelve, a Dutch legal drama.

Later this week you can count on a few horror catalogue titles (including Paranormal Activities 2 through 4) as well as a new special from comedian Urzila Carson, the thriller Fatal Affair starring Nia Long and Omar Epps, and MILF, a French sex comedy starring Marie-Josée Croze.

Harriet (new on Crave)

Cynthia Erivo was nominated for an Oscar for her performance as Harriet Tubman in Harriet, which drops on Crave today alongside the animated reboot of The Addams Family and Vivarium, a thriller starring Imogen Poots and Jesse Eisenberg. Awkwafina’s series Nora From Queens also drops on the service today. On July 14, catch the documentary Showbiz Kids from director Alex Winter (yes, that Alex Winter) which looks at the price of fame when it comes to child actors.

Tom Hanks in Greyhound (new on Apple TV+)

Greyhound, the WWII movie starring and written by Tom Hanks, was another casualty of the pandemic. Originally slated for a theatrical release, it was instead sold to Apple by Sony. It’s available as of Friday, July 10.
