Each month, new films and TV shows are added to Amazon Prime Video‘s Australian library. Eliza Janssen presents her picks for titles worth watching. For the full list of everything arriving on the platform, scroll down.
Top picks
Plane (May 19)
Man (Gerard Butler) fly plane. But lightning hit plane. Plane land on island. But bad island people kidnap plane people. What Man do? Man need help of Criminal (Mike Coulter—good man from TV show Evil) to stop bad island people and save plane people. Movie is called Plane. Because there is plane in movie. I will watch Plane.
Bros (May 25)
With an overly pushy marketing campaign and producer Judd Apatow’s typically overlong, indulgent runtime, the gay AF Billy Eichner vehicle Bros had a shaky run in cinemas. But for any queer viewers who’ve been longing for their own big, funny, high-energy rom-com (and really anybody with a soft spot for the genre), I’m here to tell you that Bros is worth a watch. Heaps of gay royalty icons show up to spit fast-paced screwball quips (Debra Messing, even, is surprisingly game), and the film has some surprisingly complex stuff to say about the unfair standards and stereotypes imposed upon queer people—both from a patronising society and from within the communities themselves.
