Amazon’s Prime Video today has added 59 new TV shows and movies. Here are the three to watch, in my humble opinion.

Another Simple Favor (2025) – Amazon Original Movie 
Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick are back in this sequel to their 2018 film, A Simple Favor, a stylish comedy/mystery featuring Kendrick as a blogger searching for a missing Lively. In part two, Lively’s character, Emily, a vain socialite, plans to marry a rich Italian businessman on the island of Capri but a murder transpires before the vows can be exchanged. Since the sequel went to straight to streaming, some have wondered if the film should have been killed, too. But the early reviews are positive with Rotten Tomatoes giving it a score of 82. So, stream in, everyone.

Traffic (2000)
Director Steven Soderbergh’s brilliant drama on the travails of the war on drugs and its effect on common day Americans. The outstanding ensemble cast includes Michael Douglas as the federal drug czar, Catherine Zeta-Jones as the wife of a cartel boss, Benico del Toro as a Mexican cop who must work both sides of the fence (literally and figuratively), Don Cheadle as a DEA agent and Erika Christensen as Douglas’ drug addicted daughter. Great film with great performances from all aforementioned and more.

You’ve Got Mail (1998)
Twenty-seven years ago, when You’ve Got Mail premiered, the concept of meeting cute (online) felt so innocent, which was reflected in this sweet and satisfying comedy starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. The two stars are at their charming best here as they converse anonymously through America Online (remember, everyone? You’ve Got Mail!) while competing in real life in very different roles in the publishing industry. Having a bad day? You’ve Got Mail will put a smile on your face.
