Pictures Available on HBO Max Genre: Sci-fi Run time: 1h 39m Director: David Robert Mitchell Cast: Anne Hathaway, Ewan McGregor, Maisy Stella David Robert Mitchell’s The End of Oak Street is an incredible riff on Spielberg’s Jurassic Park, following a family in the '80s going through some personal challenges. As the parents contemplate a divorce, their neighborhood gets hurled back in time to the dinosaur era, with the outside of their home crawling with all sorts of terrifying pre-historic reptiles. Per our Polygon review: The dinosaurs themselves are magnificent, rendered with the feathers and fuzzy hair that we now know dinosaurs sported without losing the fearsome nature imbued by Spielberg 30 years ago. This is a movie where dinosaurs repeatedly slaughter and eat random humans, and each kill got an applause from my theater's rowdy audience every time. Mitchell and his team also take some creative swings with the creature designs that largely pay off, including a family of large rocky turtles and a terrifying silent serpent as long as a train with rows of impossibly sharp teeth. 2 Heartland Image: Netflix Available on Netflix Genre: Crime Run time: 1h 52m Director: Adam Carter Rehmeir Cast: Jessica Chastain, Garrett Hedlund, John Hawkes Heartland is one of the strangest movies in Jessica Chastain’s career.
