Hulu to Add 86 New Titles This Week – Here’s the 3 Most Interesting

Hulu this week (May 26-June 1, 2024) plans to add 120 new TV shows and movies to its subscription Video on Demand service. Here are the three most interesting, in my humble opinion:

The Batman (2022)
Just when you thought that the Batman saga had been exhausted, director Matt Reeves stepped up with this absorbing 2022 gem starring Robert Pattinson as the Caped Crusader fighting crime in Gotham City. The film, which matches director Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight trilogy) in moodiness and atmospherics, breaks some new ground with its portrayal of Batman as trauma survivor and Paul Dano as a deeply psychotic Riddler. The Batman is too dark for the kiddies but it’s a faithful continuation of the graphic comic book series.

Fight Club (1999)
The 1999 drama from director David Fincher stars Edward Norton as a meek worker-bee who breaks out of his shell (and breaks a few bones) when he joins an underground boxing community. Brad Pitt plays his alter ego/friend who teaches him the ropes while simultaneously (metaphysically speaking) tying him up with them. This is early Fincher at his weirdest (and most brilliant) and you’ll either love this film or hate it. If you love it, watch it again for all the clues you missed the first time.

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1986)
Let’s lighten things up a bit. Ferris Bueller’s Day Off has become the American cinema’s best coming-of-age comedy ever thanks to the perfect performance by Matthew Broderick as the wisecracking and charismatic Ferris. The film, which features Ferris playing hooky from school, serves up everything you want from a comedy and more. And let’s not forget the great supporting work from Alan Buck as Ferris’ put-upon pal. Fun film!
