That quickly changes when she\u2019s taken away from her desk job in Virginia to a field assignment in Paris, where she has to spy on the beautiful Rayna Boyanov (<strong>Rose Byrne<\/strong>), whose father might have a nuclear device. As Susan gains Rayna\u2019s trust, she\u2019s not so sure Rayna is acting alone. Susan will need the help of veteran agent Rick Ford (<strong>Jason Statham<\/strong>), who doesn\u2019t approve of Susan\u2019s unorthodox tactics. Can Susan get her woman and save the world from certain destruction?<\/p>\n<p>Put a vintage James Bond movie, the original <em>Austin Powers<\/em> and a dash of <em>Bridesmaids<\/em> into a blender, and you\u2019ll get something like <em>Spy<\/em>. <em>Spy<\/em> works as both an action film and a comedy \u2014 the fight sequences are surprisingly legit, and the jokes are delivered frequently and expertly. McCarthy is a hoot as Susan, who is living the 007 dream she\u2019s been imagining all her life, and Byrne is fantastically droll as the rich-bitch villain you can\u2019t help but empathize with. With a cast that also includes <strong>Jude Law<\/strong>,<strong> Allison Janney<\/strong>,<strong> Bobby Cannavale<\/strong> and <strong>50 Cent<\/strong> (yes, 50 Cent), <em>Spy<\/em> is an enormously enjoyable comic romp that will leave you asking one question \u2014 why haven\u2019t they made a sequel yet?<\/p>\n<p><em>Spy<\/em> is streaming on Hulu.<\/p>\n<h2>\u2018Hallow Road\u2019 (2025)<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Hallow Road | Official Trailer - HD\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DXGL49DpjJo?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><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s every parent\u2019s worst nightmare \u2014 your child is in danger, and you\u2019re not there to help them. Maddie (<strong>Rosamund Pike<\/strong>) and Frank (<strong>Matthew Rhys<\/strong>) don\u2019t let that stop them from trying, especially when their teenage daughter Alice calls them in the middle of the night. Alice confesses she hit a woman while driving, and she doesn\u2019t know what to do. As the terrified parents drive to her to help, they discuss the events that led up to the accident and what they\u2019re willing to do to protect their daughter \u2014 including covering up her crime. Does being a good parent mean protecting your child no matter what, even if it involves murder?<\/p>\n<p><em>Hallow Road<\/em> is a tense thriller that\u2019s set primarily in the couple\u2019s car. That doesn\u2019t sound too exciting, but the movie accomplishes the near-impossible \u2014 it\u2019s suspenseful just by staying with Maddie and Frank in the car and eavesdropping on their increasingly fraught conversations. As it progresses, <em>Hallow Road<\/em> gets surprisingly weird. Without spoiling anything, I\u2019ll just say that Alice might not be all alone with the woman she ran over. The ending is deliberately indecisive \u2014 was what we saw real or imagined? It\u2019s up to you to decide for yourself, which makes the film all the more enjoyable to watch.<\/p>\n<p><em>Hallow Road<\/em> is streaming on Hulu.<\/p>\n<h2>\u2018Only Lovers Left Alive\u2019 (2014)<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Only Lovers Left Alive | Official Trailer HD (2013)\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pkeWhokaPPs?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><\/p>\n<p>The lovers in <em>Only Lovers Left Alive<\/em> are appropriately named Eve (Swinton) and Adam (<strong>Tom Hiddleston<\/strong>).
