15 Incredible NEW Release Movies Included w/ Prime Video

I realize Prime video never has nearly

as many movies as Netflix and their

original content is Never As Good As

Netflix but they do do one thing better

than Netflix and that is have new

release movies Netflix only ever seems

to have a small handful of new release

movies that are not Netflix originals

whereas Prime video right now I have 15

on this list that are all brand new

releases that are well worth talking

about this video is sponsored by

scentbird but I'll tell you more about

them later in the video right now I want

to jump into my number 15 pick which was

a big hit in the movie theaters Last

Summer the black phone now this is from

the same director of sinister which also

starred Ethan Hawke and if you were a

fan of that movie then there's a lot to

love with the black phone it's dark it's

creepy Ethan Hawke's character in this

movie is fantastic and it's way out of

bounds what he normally does and there's

some interesting elements with the

storytelling but that's about where it

stops I did feel like this was gonna

deliver something much deeper and more

interesting it didn't but as it stands

it was a pretty cool horror flick

release last year that's worth checking

out on Prime video but it is at the

bottom of this list of 15. now believe

it or not the latest James Bond movie no

time to die yes is included with Prime

and has been for a while but it's my

number 14 pick on this list That's How

Strong the other recommendations are and

how much I kind of disliked this movie

now I'm a long time fan of James Bond

movies I have my favorite picks from

every guy that has played Bond over the

years and Daniel Craig is in two of my

absolute favorite Bond movies ever but I

felt like this was a bit of a misfire

it's glossy it's a beautiful movie it

has some standout moments in it but I

didn't feel like it was glued together

very well and ultimately didn't like how

they ended the Daniel Craig Bond Saga

that said though it is pretty cool that

this is still included with Prime video

and I'm surprised this isn't one that

Netflix scooped up

now there's not a lot of horror on this

list but my next pick was another

massive hit in the theaters this past

year in fact it broke all sorts of

Records terrifier 2 is an independent

horror movie only released in a large

handful of theaters but it was a very

limited release and it was so popular

not only did it stay in theaters for

weeks longer than anticipated it really

kind of made it into the pop culture

Zeitgeist this past year I've

recommended the first one multiple times

it bounces around on streaming but

terrifier 2 is on Prime video and is

kind of the ultimate slasher movie

anyone who is a fan of the genre anyone

who's a big fan has probably seen this

more than once if you do not like

slasher movies particularly B level

horror movies terrifier is not going to

be the franchise for you however if you

do like slasher movies with a ton of

blood in them then terrifier is going to

be right up your alley

ticket to Paradise is a new release

romantic comedy included with prime but

I'm not recommending it mainly because

it delivers exactly what you would

expect if you watch the trailers the

performances are good the locations are

beautiful but it's pretty standard fare

for a rom-con but there was a Prime

video original movie released last year

that I know a lot of people missed

called I want you back this Stars

Charlie Day and Jenny slate and they are

both fantastic in this movie in fact

they are the reason I'm recommending it

this too has a basic setup there are a

couple of people who meet each other

after going through really awful

breakups and they help each other to try

to get their exes back feels very much

like a sitcomy kind of a scenario and it

is but with the two of them added it is

really funny and in kind of a subtle

natural way too this is not a knee

slapper but they do get into plenty of

funny situations it's never over the top

yet it's sweet and heartwarming the way

you'd want a romantic comedy to be and

even though I once you back goes into

plenty of predictable directions it

still has enough interesting elements

there to keep you entertained I mean

honestly I'm someone who does not enjoy

this genre almost ever and I found this

to be a particularly enjoyable movie now

BJ Novak who's most famous for being one

of the co-creators or main writers for

the office actually wrote and directed a

movie released during the pandemic

titled Vengeance so as like a personal

boundary I don't avenge deaths he stars

in this as the lead character in in

Vengeance he plays a journalist or I

think more specifically it's actually a

podcaster but he travels from New York

to Texas to investigate the death of not

quite his girlfriend but a girl he had

some relations with basically to create

a news story and ends up kind of getting

sucked into this bigger investigation

however vengeance is not really a

neo-noir movie it's not really about the

investigation there are certainly notes

of that but I feel like if you go go

into this movie expecting that you're

going to be sorely disappointed however

it does have some really interesting

character development Ashton Kutcher has

a dynamite performance in this movie

that I did not see coming so it movies

worth watching really just for that but

you get a lot of other really great

performances as well and some really

endearing characters even if the movie

and the story overall isn't glued

together as much as I would have hoped

now unless you plan on watching every

single one of these movies by yourself

you may want to pay close attention to

today's sponsor scentbird and yes even

if you don't really use cologne pay

attention because scentbird completely

changed the way I view cologne I used to

be someone who just never wore it I felt

like I smelled good enough on my own but

the way that scentbird delivers

fragrances to you is unlike anything

else and that's because scentbird is a

subscription service that sends you new

fragrances every month and they send

them to you in these small vials now

you'll get one of these when you sign up

and then every month they'll send you a

new little vial just like this one that

actually has quite a bit of fragrance in

it especially for the price you just

load it back into this little case

I just sprayed on Confessions of a rebel

by thirst trap which not only have I

never seen this in a store it's probably

not something I would have liked the

smell of in a store which is what I love

about scentbird I just didn't understand

that perfumes and colognes smell

different minutes after you put them on

meaning trying them out on a store just

doesn't work it's not what they're going

to smell like plus you're surrounded by

fragrances I mean it's nearly impossible

to pick a good one out in a store and I

don't love everything I've received from

scentbird but that's kind of the point I

get a chance to try them out and the

ones I really like like Versace arrows

one of the first things that they ever

sent me I liked it so much I bought the

big one mainly because it makes the

misses go cross-eyed I mean if you go to

the mall right now and try to buy a vial

Like This Not only would you not be able

to find this one that I really like but

it's going to be at least 30 bucks

probably a lot more depending on how

designer the fragrance is the thing

that's so great about scentbird is they

let you choose from a new designer

fragrance every month for just 17.

dollars and on top of that if you use my

link in the description and my code

flick55 you'll get 55 off your first

month that's just over seven dollars for

maybe your new favorite fragrance and

sinbird doesn't just have Indie labels

like the one I showed you they also have

big name brands like Versace Gucci and

Prada and a big bottle from one of those

companies can go for hundreds of dollars

making a 17 month supply a really

fantastic deal again just go to

scentbird.com use my code flick55 to

save 55 off it's a great deal but

speaking of great stuff let's get on

with the list they say laughter is the

best medicine and for just a flat out

Comedy release last year I thought the

lost city was really funny the next time

you toss a gun and you say hey Alan

catch and then you know maybe do that

before you throw it well here is a

synonym for cats no here is not a

cinnamon for cats okay in a colloquial

kind of way yes it is now even though

this did come out in theaters and even

though it has some major stars in it

there's kind of a a Netflix original

feel to this movie it feels like it's

not quite a finished product but what

you do end up getting is a really

hilarious action movie with Channing

Tatum and Sandra Bullock they're both

fantastic in this movie there's even a

little Cameo from Brad Pitt and perhaps

above all those you've even got a

maniacal roll from Daniel Radcliffe in

this movie that I think just sort of

tipped this movie over the top for me

where I really enjoyed it this is the

type of movie if you just want to turn

your brain off and have a good fun time

watching a movie that you do not need to

take seriously whatsoever the lost city

is your ticket however on the opposite

end of the spectrum we've got Idris Elba

in Beast now this is one I have talked

about recently but it's a pretty wild

new release movie the setup here is

extremely basic him and his two

daughters get trapped inside a vehicle

with a bloodthirsty lion outside you've

seen sit-ups like this not necessarily

with lions but it's basically Cujo in

Africa and it does have some really

tense sequences that are really well

executed especially for something done

at this budget level I mean the lion is

CGI and it's convincing enough for most

of the movie if you like anything about

the basic concept here or you're just a

fan of Idris Elba this is going to be a

great pick for you and then Michael Bay

finally returns to doing some real

action last year with ambulance and what

I mean by real action is most of his

movies rely on heavy heavy CGI however

with the ambulance most of which you're

seeing is in camera yeah I'm sure they

use plenty of effects to enhance the

shots but it's real cars it's real speed

it's old school car crashes and I

absolutely love it the only real twist

with ambulance is that you're following

a couple of people after a bank heist

who are trying to make their escape in

an ambulance yes someone needs medical

attention in the back of that ambulance

and it really sort of stirs the pot now

there's not a ton of story here there's

enough in fact there's plenty for a

movie like this but for the most part

you're just getting a fantastic Heist

sequence let off by Jake Gyllenhaal who

just plays a fantastic villain in this

movie he's done a villain a few times in

a few different movies this is my

favorite villain I think he's done if

you don't count Nightcrawler as a

villain I guess otherwise that would be

my favorite but another one turn your

brain off if you just want to watch some

wild stuff ambulance delivers and it's

in the hands of Michael Bay I mean say

what you will about his movies but the

man knows how to film action better than

most and if that's not for you you want

something a little bit artsier but with

just still some badassery in it I highly

recommend the northmen

foreign

[Music]

now this is from director Robert Eggers

who's most famous for the witch and the

lighthouse two exceedingly weird movies

that are not for everybody and while the

Northman still kind of fits that bill I

think it's one of my favorites of his

because it's really two things at once

it is an interesting slow paced art film

that's got some really clever artsy

elements in it that I absolutely love

but it's also a straightforward Viking

story as such it's a little more

accessible than his other movies and I

think this one actually has a really

nice balance it feels kind of like a

classic historical drama and kind of

like an art film at the same time again

beautifully balanced out if you like

either of those elements check out the

Northman

and then Ben Affleck's latest turn in

the director chair with air when you

were selling sneakers out of the back

here Plymouth that was risky it took

balls I mean that's why we're all here

don't change that now I mean if you look

at him if you really look at Jordan like

I did you're gonna see exactly what I

see this movie is still out in theaters

around the country and you can check it

out on Prime video right now if you

don't know Ben Affleck also directed

movies like Argo and the town and air is

the story of how Nike recruited Michael

Jordan to be one of their spokesman and

ultimately designing the Air Jordan one

of if not the most popular shoes in the

history of the world basically

responsible for making Nike the gigantic

company that it is today but the movie

is a fairly talky one in fact that's all

this movie is is pretty much

over-the-shoulder shots of two people

talking that's it but it's in the hands

of Matt Damon Ben Affleck Jason Bateman

Viola Davis and Chris Tucker in the

meatiest role he's taken in a while in

fact he's really been doing cameos and

staying away from the spotlight for what

seems like forever now and so it's

really cool to see him not just taking a

role but taking a fairly serious one

even though it's fairly short-lived in

this movie it was cool to see Chris

Tucker back on the scene and even though

it's really just a chatty movie about

business it's incredibly compelling you

don't have to care anything about

Michael Jordan or Nike or any of the

people involved for this to be a really

interesting entertaining movie which is

why it gets this spot in the middle of a

list of bangers despite the fact that

there's not a whole lot else going on in

IT director Guy Ritchie has been on a

real tear lately with one in the

theaters currently one that just came

out a few months ago operation fortune

and one that came out a year before that

a Wrath of man it is currently on Prime

video now this sort of so sold itself as

your run-of-the-mill Jason Statham

action movie he works for an armored car

company and is basically chasing off

Robbers from these armored cars cool

idea again sounds basically like a

run-of-the-mill movie and that element

is in Wrath of man in fact it starts off

being a movie very much like that for

the first 30 minutes or so but then the

movie takes a turn and it really does

become a guy Richie gangster movie the

guy knows that genre so well and he

really interwoven a classic guy Richie

gangster movie that honestly has a

harder Edge than his movies usually have

with a Jason Statham action flick and

it's a really cool idea didn't end up

being one of my favorite guy Richie

movies but it's certainly one of my

favorite Jason Statham action movies

which definitely says something this is

a cool flick if you passed on it because

you thought it was going to be some

basic stuff I'm telling you there's a

lot to love with this one I've got

another gangster movie up on this list

but this time we're going with some old

school gangsters in the outfit not only

do we have old school gangsters but

we've got actor Mark rylance delivering

an incredible performance don't get me

wrong everybody else in this movie is

fantastic but it really is his movie and

I love what he did with this one in this

movie He plays a tailor who ends up

having to doctor up some gangsters in

his shop and what you get is a pressure

cooker situation that happens over the

course of one night in fact the movie

almost plays out in real time and for a

movie that takes place in one single

solitary place there are tons of twists

and turns in this movie I very recently

recommended the 90s movie Bound here on

the channel it too is included with

Prime video but if you like that movie I

think you're gonna love the outfit just

as much if not more

believe it or not my number three pick

on this list is an Amazon Prime original

movie titled 13 lives now this is the

true story of the boys that were trapped

in that Thailand cave years ago and

there have been several things done with

this there was a Netflix movie there was

a Netflix documentary I believe Disney

even has one but the one that Amazon

produced is absolutely amazing because

it was directed by Ron Howard Stars

Viggo Mortensen Colin Farrell and Joel

Edgerton and was filmed for real now

obviously I don't have the exact replica

of the whole cave but much of this movie

takes place underwater and much of it

takes place in these confined spaces you

may recall Ron Howard directed Apollo 13

and 13 lives feels just as realistic it

feels like it puts you in the moment

it's so intense such an amazing

production with fantastic performances

again it's a harrowing story if you just

hear about about it but then to see it

brought to life in a really expert way

like this is just really unparalleled in

terms of original movies hitting

streaming services this is easily one of

the best I've ever seen that includes

anything I've ever seen on Netflix I'm

serious but my top two picks on this

list Were Far and Away two of my

absolute favorite movies released in the

entirety of 2022 my number two pick

being Jordan peels nope

now the first time I saw it I did enjoy

this movie I thought it was a really

cool movie with an interesting concept

regarding UFOs and I liked it I've liked

all of his movies but this one has grown

on me over the past 12 months and it's

now easily my favorite mainly because it

has this sense of fun about it and

plenty of serious themes as well in fact

the movie opens up on a fairly serious

note but everyone's giving interesting

if not slightly unusual performances

particularly Steven Yin he's not in the

movie much but when he is it's just

absolute Dynamite the look of the movie

so many of the visuals were just brand

new things I'd never seen before

Concepts that are brand new I'd never

thought of before and the way Jordan

peel writes really appeals to me I feel

like I can piece together all the things

he's trying to say with just a couple of

viewings and I find it really an

interesting and fun movie going

experience I'm so glad he's making

movies I mean honestly if you're the

type of person that ever complains about

there not being anything new coming out

or that all movies are the same movies

like nope are easily the exception to

that rule

all right

and then there's top gun Maverick now

ultimately the story here I don't really

care about that much it's not bad but

this has much more in common with the

mission impossible format or at least

the format that Mission Impossible

movies have morphed into and it works

there's time limits there's pressure

there's all sorts of key elements that

Tom Cruise has really developed in his

movies at this point in his career and

they're on full display in Top Gun

Maverick making this one of the most

exciting movies I've ever seen in a

movie theater which is really saying

something I mean I've seen almost

everything and top gun Maverick was such

a breath of fresh air in a time where

everything we see at least in big budget

movies like this big budget action

movies they basically turned into

animated movies because that technology

has progressed so much there's no need

to really do things Is For Real the way

they do in Top Gun but when they do it

makes all the difference in the world I

never would have expected this movie to

be nearly as good as it was if you

haven't seen it yet don't wait watch it

on Prime video before it's gone but that

is the list the full list can be found

in the top pin comment as always thanks

again to scentbird for sponsoring

another video go check out their Link in

the description or the top pin comment

but I will keep making these videos as

long as you keep watching them thanks

for checking out this special Prime

video episode and you will see me on the

next one
