On the last weekend of July, the focus of the film industry will be on Deadpool and Wolverine. The latest Marvel Universe movie is expected to make a big chunk over the weekend, with comic book fans and casual viewers alike lining up to watch two warriors in brightly colored straitjackets face off.
However, not everyone is a fan of Marvel movies, so we recommend some good movies to watch on the HBO subscription streaming service Max. Max has an enviable film library, including the following three films, each with its own unique charm. These films are star-studded, with well-known actors such as Robert ·Redford, Samuel· Jackson, and, yes, Ryan · Reynolds.
You don't need to know The Company You Keep to see it. The film features an amazing cast, including Robert · Redford, Susan · Sarandon, Julie · Christie, Brian · Glaizer, Anna · Kendrick, Nicole · Nott, Terence · Howard, Stanley · Tucci, Richard · Jenkins, Britt · Marlin, Sam · Elliott, Chris · Cooper. Oh, by the way, Shia · LaBeouf is also among them, but about him, I can say less.
Redford plays Jim · Grant, a political activist who has been hiding from the public eye for decades and is said to have killed a bank security guard years ago. He is discovered and revealed by ambitious journalist Ben · Shepard (LaBeouf) and reveals his true identity and whereabouts.
But that's only part of the story, which gets more complicated as Ben gradually uncovers the real reason why Jim is hiding. "Company You Keep" is an excellent stage for actors, providing many actors with performance opportunities, while also showing another wonderful performance of Redford's later career.
"Company You Keep" is airing on Max.
Next up is Jaws, a 1975 Steven · Spielberg film that not only changed the landscape of action movies, but also represented the pinnacle of this particular subgenre of killer shark movies. No film before or since, has been as remarkable as it is for its superior filmmaking skills and ability to provoke horror and laughter at the same time.
But there's one film that almost does just that: 1999's Deep Blue Sea, a summer release by Rennie · Haring (director of Tough Guy No. 2), which at first had no expectations but unexpectedly became a fun-filled film. The film takes place at an underwater station in the heart of the ocean, where a team of scientists try to find a cure for Alzheimer's disease by genetically modifying several sharks to make their brains bigger. Yes, that's the setting.
These super-clever sharks quickly escape, threatening everyone on board, including Chief Scientist Safin · Bullworth, a chattering executive Samuel · Jackson, and a kind chef · Kuhl· J, he is very fond of his parrots. Most of these people end up being food for sharks, and the film is well aware of its absurdity. It's a perfect movie to watch at the end of summer.
Deep Blue Ocean is airing on Max.
Before becoming a "mouth cannon", Ryan · Reynolds was an actor who aspired to fame. He found his chance in Definitely, Maybe, a romantic comedy featuring Oscar-winning actors Rachel · Weisz ("Two-Face"), Kevin · Klein, Abigail · Breslin, Isabel · Fisher and Elizabeth · Banks, with an exceptionally strong cast.
Reynolds plays Vail · Hayes, an advertising executive whose 10-year-old daughter, Maya (Breslin), wants to know how his off-screen mother met him. Vail agreed, but changed the name and timeline so that both Maya and the audience would guess which woman he would end up with (Weisz, Fisher, or Banks). It sounds a little too cute, but "Of Course" doesn't go overboard, and the scene between Reynolds and Breslin is full of natural and warm affection that successfully sells their father-daughter relationship.
"Of course it may be" is airing on Max.
