The Suicide Squad (HBO Max)
Movie | ii hr 12 min (R) | How to watch The Suicide Squad
The 2016 Suicide Team picture show cleaned upward at the box office, merely later became reviled for failing to deliver on the promise of the premise — a squad-up of super villains. DC and Warner Bros. clearly didn't want to let this IP languish, hence this quasi-sequel, quasi-reboot. They turned to Guardians of the Milky way director James Gunn to do an farthermost movie makeover — and he's washed it. The Suicide Squad 2021 is earning positive reviews from critics and fans alike for its cluttered energy, gory violence and satirical irreverence. Plus, the full general consensus is that it's fun, which is not a label put on most DC movies. Stick around for the Suicide Squad mail service-credits scenes.
Mr. Corman (Apple TV Plus)
Serial premiere | Episodes i-two (TV-MA) | Watch now
Joseph Gordon-Levitt created, wrote, directed and stars in this dramedy, which he'south previously said muses on who he'd be had his life had turned out differently. Maybe he would've turned into a fifth grade teacher in Van Nuys, like the master character, Josh Corman. Maybe he'd trudge through his deadening mean solar day job, then become home to tinker with music in his bedroom — all while dreaming of what could've been. While Gordon-Levitt wears many hats behind the scenes, this isn't a one-man testify and the bandage is filled with talented actors like Debra Winger, Juno Temple, Arturo Castro, Jamie Chung and Hugo Weaving.
Cooking With Paris (Netflix)
Series premiere | Episodes one-vi (TV-MA) | Watch at present
Finally, Paris Hilton can say "that'due south hot" and have it make literal sense! Hilton starred in a viral video final year in which she made lasagna. That led to this Netflix series, which is merely the latest in the oeuvre of "glory learns how to melt" reality shows (Selena Gomez and Amy Schumer are other examples). Hilton recruits some of her famous friends for her kitchen misadventures, including Kim Kardashian West and Demi Lovato. She really leans into her clueless persona ("What is a whisk?" she asks Nikki Glaser). The end result is pretty funny and a reminder that Hilton has excellent comedic timing. That'due south cool.
Departure (Peacock)
Season 2 premiere | Episodes 1-half dozen (TV-14) | Watch now
New season, new suspicious transportation accident. Divergence returns stateside on Peacock with a completely dissimilar example for the Transport Condom and Investigations Agency to solve.

Malley's inquiry uncovers a puzzle of disconnected events and a bunch of suspects with plausible motives.
Val (Amazon Prime number Video)
Pic | 1 hr 48 min (R) | Watch at present
Val Kilmer was a clearly talented actor. He was likewise clearly intense, mercurial and difficult — the quintessential tortured artist. This documentary follows Kilmer'due south life and career, using footage taken by himself and his brothers. It's moving to see clips of the young actor in movies like Acme Gun, interspersed with interviews where the older Kilmer speaks through a voice box later on a bout with pharynx cancer. Don't expect whatever hard-striking segments about the alleged abusive behavior he exhibited on sets. This is a thoroughly cornball doc and a sentimental trip down memory lane for Kilmer.
Obama: In Pursuit of a More than Perfect Union (HBO Max)
Limited serial | Episodes ane-3 (TV-14) | Sentinel now
Timed to coincide with erstwhile President Barack Obama's 60th altogether, this docu-series traces Obama's babyhood, education and the political rise that put him into the Oval Part. The first thing to know is that Obama wasn't interviewed past filmmakers Peter Kundhardt and Jelani Cobb. Instead, the three episodes weave together onetime footage and other talking heads to examine the forces that aided Obama's ascent, his role every bit a symbolic figure for Black Americans and the legacy he's left backside.
Vivo (Netflix)
Moving-picture show | 1 hr 39 min (PG) | Sentinel at present
The summertime of Lin-Manuel Miranda continues. In the Heights, the adaptation of his musical, splashed onto screens and HBO Max in June. Now, he'southward back with the blithe family movie Vivo.
