The Best TV Shows & Movies Coming To HBO Max In May 2021
It’s gonna be May (are we still doing that joke?) soon, which means HBO Max – which has quickly become one of the best streaming services around in terms of content – is going to unleash a whole slew of new movies (and TV shows) you’re going to want to check out. So let’s take a gander at the best TV shows and movies coming to HBO Max in May 2021, shall we?
At last,Tenetis coming to HBO Max (even thoughChristopher Nolanisn’tsuch a fan of the streaming service). I was mixed onTenetwhen I saw it in theaters, but I’ve grown to appreciate the film since revisiting it. It’s a bit muddled, and the characters are kind of flat, but man oh man does Nolan know how to stage thrilling, mind-bending action sequences.
Barry Lyndon
Everyone has their own personal favoriteStanley Kubrickmovie, and mine isBarry Lyndon, which I honestly think is Kubrick’s masterpiece. The story of an Irish rogue who works his way up through society,Barry Lyndonis hypnotic in the way it unfolds its story – deliberately and mysteriously. Full of gorgeous naturally-lit cinematography meant to resemble classic paintings, there’s nothing else out there like this.
Jackie Brown
It’s crazy to think thatQuentin TarantinomadeJackie Brownso early in his career, because it feels like the work of a much older man looking back on his life. A funny, melancholy crime caper that’s really about getting too damn old, I honestly think the case can be made thatJackie Brownis Tarantino’s best movie, although my opinion on that seems to change weekly.
Mortal Kombat
If you were hoping to catch the originalMortal Kombaton HBO Max movie before watching the new one, you can’t. At least not yet. The awfulMortal Kombat: Annihilationis streaming there, but not the original. Thankfully, that’s going to change next month.Paul W.S. Anderson’s video game flick isn’t great – in fact, it’s kind of dumb! But it’s also incredibly entertaining and features a banger of a soundtrack. Scream it with me now: MORTAL KOMBAT!!!!!!
The Personal History Of David Copperfield
This delightful adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic had the misfortune of arriving during the pandemic, so not a lot of people saw it. Thankfully that can soon change!Armando Iannucci(Veep)finds the warmth and humor inherent Dickens’s writing and creates a costume flick that’s anything but stuffy.
