The Desperate Hour (PG-13) — A
thriller filmed in 2021, “The Desperate
Hour” stars Naomi Watts in the
lead role of Amy, a widowed mother.
Still coping with her husband’s death,
Amy and her son face yet another
traumatic event in their lives when
a shooting takes place at his school.
Amy’s on a jog in the woods 5 miles
from her home when she receives a
notification on her phone about the
active shooter. Learning that her son
and four other people
have barricaded
themselves inside
the school, Amy
attempts to find the
quickest way out of
the woods and to
the school so she
can help get her son
out of harm’s way.
Watts’ portrayal
of a parent’s panic
in this unimaginable
moment really carries
the film. (Hulu)
Spiderhead (R) — Taking place
sometime in the future, a penitentiary
deemed “Spiderhead” holds convicts
who have agreed to undergo experimental
drug tests in order to shorten
their prison sentence. Some of the
drugs include a love drug (N-40),
Darkenfloxx (a drug that generates
great pain) and a laughing drug. The
prisoners learn that the effects of
these drugs shouldn’t be underestimated,
and neither should the sociopathic
man in charge — as our main
character, an inmate named Jeff, gets
to the bottom of. For those who are
fans of “Black Mirror” or other dystopian
stories, this new film starring
Chris Hemsworth (“Thor”) and “Top
Gun’s” Miles Teller might be the perfect
watch for you. (Netflix)
Chloe (TV-16+) — Becky (Erin
Doherty from “The Crown”) is a
young woman who works a temp
job and still lives at home with her
mother. Like most 20-somethings,
Becky is obsessed with social media,
living her life vicariously through it,
specifically through an influencer on
Instagram named Chloe. When Chloe
suddenly passes away, Becky is anxious
to find out more. Unable to kill
her curiosity, Becky slowly begins
infiltrating herself into Chloe’s old
life by using any clues she can gather
through Instagram about Chloe and
her friends. It’s only a matter of time
before Becky realizes she’s in way
too deep. This six-part series hailing
from the BBC is out on streaming
now. (Prime Video)

America the Beautiful (TV-PG) —
Right on time for Independence Day,
National Geographic launches a new
series based on the lovely land whose
birthday we’re celebrating this week.
Narrated by Michael B. Jordan, each
episode has a different theme focusing
on regions throughout the country,
with the very first episode focusing
on the Golden Coast. Throughout
the series, viewers get to follow the
majestic creatures who inhabit each
area and how the rough climate has
forced these creatures to adapt over
time. For the finale of the show, the
producers worked alongside indigenous
tribes to give insight on the fight
against climate change. (Disney+)
