Malek. Rami Malek.
After going the James Bond villain route for "No Time to Die," the Oscar winner becomes a secret agent in his own right in the spy thriller "The Amateur," one of several new movies hitting your favorite streaming services. Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Peacock, HBO Max and more offer up theatrical releases finally coming home, like the new André Holland/Gemma Chan drama "The Actor," plus original fare like a surprise Anthony Ramos/Naomi Scott sci-fi flick you didn't know you needed.
Here are 10 new and notable movies you can stream right now:
'The Actor'
An amnesiac thespian (André Holland) is drawn to a woman (Gemma Chan) in a new town in the period drama "The Actor."
Based on the Donald E. Westlake crime novel "Memory," the period drama stars André Holland as a man stranded in a strange town and suffering from amnesia. He finds himself drawn to a kind woman (Gemma Chan), but when he discovers he's a New York actor, he attempts to go home in a movie awash in ethereal atmosphere and noir-ish style.
Where to watch: Hulu.
'The Amateur'
Rami Malek plays a CIA analyst who goes off after the people responsible for his wife's murder in "The Amateur."
It's like an action thriller that forgot to come out in 2003. When his wife (Rachel Brosnahan) is killed in an international terrorist attack, a CIA decoder (Rami Malek) goes after the people responsible in a throwback to the days of "The Recruit" and the "Bourne" movies.
Where to watch: Hulu.
'Apocalypse in the Tropics'
A statue lays broken after a 2023 insurrection at Brazilian government buildings in the documentary "Apocalypse in the Tropics."
The gripping documentary chronicles the rise of evangelical power in Brazilian politics in recent years, focused on the tumult caused by televangelist Silas Malafaia and controversial president Jair Bolsonaro. It's also a sobering watch given how certain aspects – from social-media propaganda to a destructive insurrection – hit way too close to home.
Where to watch: Netflix.
'Drop'
A first date between Violet (Meghann Fahy) and Henry (Brandon Sklenar) turns chaotic in the thriller "Drop."
This modern Hitchcockian thriller doesn't take itself too seriously. Meghann Fahy ("Sirens") plays a widowed mom getting back in the love game. She meets up with a first date (Brandon Sklenar) at a high-rise restaurant, but is soon menaced with memes sent to her phone threatening her son if she doesn't kill the dude.
Where to watch: Peacock.
'Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story'
"Jaws" director Steven Spielberg mans the camera filming the mechanical shark in the documentary "Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story."
Are you "Jaws"-d out yet? For those still celebrating the iconic blockbuster's 50th anniversary, this documentary is essential viewing. Director Steven Spielberg goes deep on the exhausting and "terrifying" process of making his legendary shark movie, and filmmakers such as J.J. Abrams, James Cameron and Jordan Peele discuss its influence and legacy.
Where to watch: Hulu, Disney+.
'Long Distance'
The definition of a "dumped movie" is a shelved theatrical release with a new title and no marketing dropped suddenly on a streaming service. That said, this sci-fi film is a pretty fun time, with Anthony Ramos as a miner who crash-lands on a dangerous alien planet and needs to rescue an injured stranger (Naomi Scott) before his oxygen runs out.
Where to watch: Hulu.
'Madea's Destination Wedding'
Madea (Tyler Perry, far left) heads to the Bahamas with friends Cora (Tamela Mann) and Aunt Bam (Cassi Davis) in "Madea's Destination Wedding."
Tyler Perry's don't-call-her-elderly firebrand Madea returns in yet another comedy. Madea once again is chaotic as she, friends and extended family members attend the sudden Bahamian wedding of her grandniece (Diamond White), while the father of the bride (also Perry) is the stressed-out soul trying to keep it together.
Where to watch: Netflix.
'Opus'
Ariel (Ayo Edebiri) takes notes while returning 1990s pop star Alfred Moretti (John Malkovich) creepily watches in "Opus."
This thriller stars Ayo Edebiri ("The Bear") as a young journalist invited to the event of the year: A mega pop star (John Malkovich) hosts influential folks at his remote compound to hear his first album since going off the grid 30 years earlier. The cult horror flick doesn't totally deliver on a great premise, but Malkovich is a hoot as a cross between Davids Bowie and Koresh.
Where to watch: HBO Max.
'Push'
Alicia Sanz plays an expectant realtor stalked by a psycho killer in the horror movie "Push."
The one thing very pregnant realtor Natalie (Alicia Sanz) doesn't need is a bunch of no-shows to a cursed house she's trying to sell. And the one guy who does show up? A psycho killer! Raúl Castillo plays the sadistic guy who ruthlessly chases her – a situation that goes truly awry when she goes into labor – in a twist on the supernaturally tinged slasher.
Where to watch: Shudder.
'Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires'
Addison (Meg Donnelly) and Zed (Milo Manheim) try to bring together warring factions in "Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires."
Just when you thought there weren't enough zombies, werewolves and aliens in this song-and-dance franchise, along come more monsters. Now college kids, young couple Zed (Milo Manheim) and Addison (Meg Donnelly) find a way to bring together the warring factions of Daywalkers and Vampires for everybody's well-being.
Where to watch: Disney+.
