‘The Fallout’ – HBO Max

Following a deadly incident at her school, Vada (Ortega) confides in popular classmate Mia (Ziegler), who hid in the bathroom with her while the killer stalked fellow students. Vada tries to make sense of the many emotions she’s feeling (Shailene Woodley plays her therapist), plus figure out her relationship going forward with friends and family. It’s a well-acted, unexpectedly funny and extremely soulful drama with a gut-punch of an ending.

The Woman in the House Across the Street From the Girl in the Window – Netflix

Kristen Bell plays a heartbroken woman whose only source of human interaction is by watching life go by in people outside her home’s window.

But did she really witness one?

The Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild – Disney+

When their survival skills are questioned, daredevil possum bros Crash (Vincent Tong) and Eddie (Aaron Harris) seek some independence, get trapped in a cave and are rescued by their oddball idol Buck. They team up to keep the Lost World safe from a vengeful dinosaur (Utkarsh Ambudkar) with a huge brain and a “dinos rule, mammals drool” mindset.

Home Team – Netflix

Based on a true story, this feel-good film tells the story of sports star Sean Payton, a suspended NFL coach who attempts to reconnect with his son by coaching his youth football team. This wild bunch might be tougher to crack than the seasoned pro athletes — but will they be too much to handle?

Needle in a Timestack – Amazon Prime

Nick Bannister, a private investigator of the mind, navigates the darkly alluring world of the past by helping his clients access lost memories.

The Requin – Apple TV, Vudu, Google Play

In the waterlogged thriller, Silverstone and James Tupper play a married couple trying to heal from a tragic loss with a romantic getaway in Vietnam. It winds up being the worst trip ever as a nasty storm turns their villa into pretty much a fancy raft, the husband sustains a gruesome leg injury, plus heat and a lack of clean water threatens them in the middle of the ocean. And that’s all before a school of great whites literally smells blood in the water. Shark movie fans with a taste for the absurd will get a kick out of this B-movie if nothing else.
