Netflix is the world\u2019s most popular streamer for a reason, and the platform is about to drop some of 2026\u2019s most anticipated titles. The live-action adaptation of the wildly popular animated [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Taking place across several hot summer nights in 1991, the crime-thriller stars Chalamet as Daniel, a gawky teen forced to spend the season in Cape Cod with his aunt. He soon finds all the excitement he can handle when he befriends Hunter Strawberry (<strong>Alex Roe<\/strong>), the local bad boy who ropes Daniel into selling pot to townies. Business is good, but love gets in the way when Daniel falls for Hunter\u2019s sister, McKayla (<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/how-longlegs-nicolas-cage-transformed-into-terrifying-character\/\"><em>Longlegs<\/em>\u2018 <strong>Maika Monroe<\/strong><\/a>). Hunter absolutely forbids the relationship, which only stokes the lovers\u2019 fire. But will Daniel get burned by his summertime romance? Or will this affair be one to remember for all involved?<\/p>\n<p>The main drawback to <em>Hot Summer Nights<\/em> is that it tries way too hard to be better than it is. It wants to be a coming-of-age classic, but it keeps throwing unnecessary subplots and characters at a thin narrative that can\u2019t support so much weight \u2013 and ambition. Still, at least it <em>trie<\/em>s, and even with subpar material, Chalamet shows he\u2019s the star he eventually came to be in hits like the<em> Dune<\/em> films and <em>Marty Supreme<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h2>\u2018Chinatown\u2019 (1974) \u2013 Peacock<\/h2>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Chinatown (1974) Trailer #1 | Movieclips Classic Trailers\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/p39LFdGI-YA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>\u201cForget it, Jake. It\u2019s Chinatown.\u201d That\u2019s the last line spoken in the influential 1974 film <em>Chinatown<\/em>, and it\u2019s one of the most famous closing lines in movie history. You\u2019ve probably heard it even if you haven\u2019t seen it, so if that\u2019s you, relax \u2013 I\u2019m giving nothing away by quoting that line. The \u201cJake\u201d mentioned in that line is Jake Gittes (<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrities\/jack-nicholson\/\"><strong>Jack Nicholson<\/strong><\/a>), a low-rent L.A. private investigator who makes his living being hired by worried wives who want to spy on their cheating husbands.

What secret is the real Evelyn hiding? And what does any of this have to do with a drought that\u2019s crippling Southern California at the time? The genius behind Robert Towne\u2019s note-perfect screenplay is that it somehow ties all these disparate things together and makes it palatable and exciting. But <em>Chinatown<\/em> is more than a great thriller \u2013 it\u2019s also a great tragedy about how power corrupts everything it touches, including family. Nicholson is fantastic as a private eye who is in way over his head, while Dunaway is haunting as a woman whose beautiful facade covers up some pretty ugly things from her checkered past.<\/p>\n<h2>\u2018The Call\u2019 (2013) \u2013 Tubi<\/h2>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Call TRAILER (2013) - Halle Berry Movie HD\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/N2I85cPlhk0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div id=\"news-block\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form  \">\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/themes\/us-weekly\/assets\/img\/newsletter-bg-narrow.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"newsletter-form__background background-narrow\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/themes\/us-weekly\/assets\/img\/newsletter-bg-wide.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"newsletter-form__background background-wide\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"newsletter-signup__success\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<h3>Thank You!<\/h3>\n<p>You have successfully subscribed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/wwd.com\/pop-culture\/celebrity-news\/halle-berry-the-call-wig-never-let-go-screening-1236629193\/\">One of the most famous wigs in modern movie history is the one worn by <strong>Halle Berry<\/strong> in the action-thriller, <em>The Call<\/em>.<\/a> The actress herself has poked fun at it on social media, but it fits nicely into the film\u2019s slightly over-the-top vibe.<\/p>\n<p>Berry stars as Jordan Turner, a workaholic 9-1-1 operator who hasn\u2019t recovered from the murder of one of her callers who died while she was trying to save her.
