Michael B. Jordan is following up his best Oscar win with … playing a tiny woodland creature?
The “Sinners” star headlines a fantastical animated buddy comedy on Netflix, one of several new movies you can watch at home via your favorite streaming services. Hulu, HBO Max, Prime Video and others are offering theatrical releases if you need to catch up, like Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi’s saucy take on an Emily Brontë classic, but don’t sleep on the original fare either, like a Peacock documentary about WWE hall of famer “The Heartbreak Kid” Shawn Michaels.
Here are 10 new and notable movies you can stream right now:
‘Apex’
While Charlize Theron is known for her action movies, this survival thriller has plenty of natural splendor to go with the high-stakes danger. She plays a grieving rock climber in Australia for solace after a tragic loss, and Taron Egerton is out of his mind as the sadistic serial killer hunting and chasing her through rivers and mountains.

‘Balls Up’
The R-rated comedy stars Mark Wahlberg and Paul Walter Hauser, who hatch the idea for an innovative new condom and score a prize sponsorship with the World Cup. However, a drunken incident at the championship match makes them wanted men and sends the oddball pair on a bonkers adventure involving tanks, criminals and dangerous beasts.

‘Dolly’
There’s some serious “Texas Chain Saw Massacre” vibes going with this creepy slasher flick. Fabianne Therese plays a young woman on a hike in the woods with her boyfriend (Seann William Scott) who runs afoul of a bizarre, imposing figure (pro wrestler Max the Impaler) with a porcelain doll mask intent on raising her as a child.

‘The Heartbreak Kid: Becoming Shawn Michaels’
If you watched Netflix’s recent Hulk Hogan docuseries, this is a good chaser.

‘No Other Choice’

‘Outcome’
In director Jonah Hill’s Hollywood satire, Keanu Reeves plays a beloved movie star who, in the process of sussing out a mysterious blackmailer, learns a lot of people actually hate him.
