Hulu next month (December 2020) will add 80 new movies to its Video on Demand service, including some James Bond films, and the last goodbye from legendary director Stanley Kubrick.
The new films will include Eyes Wide Shut, the sexy psychological drama from Kubrick, starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman as a glamorous couple trying to preserve their marriage amid temptation and deceit. (No, it’s fiction.); The Color of Money, Martin Scorsese’s pulpy sequel to the 1961 pool drama The Hustler with Paul Newman as Fast Eddie and Tom Cruise as his enfant terrible pupil; The Hurt Locker, the brilliant 2008 Iraqi war drama with Jeremy Renner as a munitions specialist who’s ready to blow; Any Given Sunday, Oliver Stone’s underrated (but loud!) 1999 football drama starring Jamie Foxx as QB1 and Al Pacino as his coach; and The Spy Who Loved Me, Golden Eye, Dr. No, and Goldfinger, four in the 007 collection.
There are some fun films on the list, but I would watch Eyes Wide Shut first. Kubrick’s obvious exploitation of the real-life Cruise-Kidman marriage meltdown turns this movie into an unsettling but irresistible view of two people losing their grip on reality and stability. Few directors could enter our inner minds the way Kubrick did and his last film will make you think about what you hold dear for years to come.
