Spring has finally sprung, and with it comes an exciting new slate of movies on streaming platforms.
If your city is still suffering from winter weather, stay warm inside with great new movies on HBO Max.
This weekend, Buka Nathi wants to highlight three of the best movies especially on the platform that you should be sure to prioritize.
Our first choice Devil wears Prada, which you will need to watch this month to prepare for the sequel on May 1st.
'The Devil Wears Prada' (2006)
Aspiring reporter Andy (Anne Hathaway) is the latest graduate to land a job as junior assistant editor-in-chief of A way to escape magazine, Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) – despite having little knowledge of the world of fashion. In addition to escaping the bullying of Miranda's chief assistant Emily (Emily Blunt), Andy finds himself constantly annoyed by Miranda's badass and the corruption of the fashion industry.
The Devil Wears Prada is a timeless comedy and a sharp satire of the cutthroat world of fashion. The film includes four great performances by Streep, Hathaway, Blunt and Stanley Tucciall of whom will be returning to play their roles again The Devil Wears Prada 2. While we didn't get to enjoy the sequel, we feel it won't be able to surpass the sharp script and iconic performances of the first movie.
'Alien' (1979)
While traveling in deep space, the crew of a commercial spaceship Nostromo he is awakened from cryo-sleep by a distress call from an alien ship. While still halfway back to Earth, the crew decides to investigate the abandoned, defunct ship where they find the corpse of an alien and hundreds of mysterious eggs. When one of the eggs hatches, a horrible, spider-like creature attacks and attaches itself to one of the party members, infusing him with the larvae of a blood-killing machine that will not rest until all living things around it are destroyed.
Six movies, two crossover films and one TV series later, and nothing beats that first Alien the movie. Ridley Scott combines outer space sci-fi with haunted house horror and an all-time monster design in the chilling Xenomorph (based on the art of HR Giger) to create a film that still manages to scare us to this day. And, we are always grateful Sigourney WeaverRipley's fictional portrayal.
'Twister' (1996)
Hurricane meteorologist Jo Harding (Helen Hunt) chases storms for a living, joined by a team of brave, albeit penniless, students. When the strongest hurricane in history begins to rear its head in Oklahoma, Jo prepares to use “Dorothy,” a piece of old technology that can collect data on the storm, discovered by Jo's ex-husband, Bill (Bill Paxton). When Bill meets Jo in Oklahoma to finalize their divorce, he rejoins Jo and her team when he learns that their rival, Dr. Jonas Miller (Cary Elwes), stole their idea of Dorothy.
The Twister it has everything you could want in a piece of popcorn entertainment from a disaster movie: exciting action sequences, impressive special effects, high-octane thrills and a heartbreaking romance with a quiet longing. The Twister it is by no means high art, but it is a comforting classic, with an incredibly human story. An attractive ensemble also includes Philip Seymour Hoffman, Alan Ruck again Jamie Gertz.
