“Limitless with Chris Hemsworth” (TV-14) – After learning that he has a greater chance of developing Alzheimer’s disease later in life, Chris Hemsworth (Thor in the “Thor” franchise) decided to embark on a physical and mental journey in order to learn how to live a better life for longer. In this six-episode series, he pushes his body to its limit by attempting extreme tasks, like walking on a crane 900 feet above the ground and going four days without food. You’ve never seen the actor more vulnerable than this, and his determination to increase his life’s longevity is inspirational. Out now. (Disney+)

“Wednesday” (TV-14) – Out now is the new spinoff series based off “The Addams Family.” Having generated buzz online for some time, the spinoff mainly focuses on the Addams’ gothic daughter, Wednesday, and her coming of age. Jenna Ortega (“You” and “Jane the Virgin”) plays Wednesday as she enrolls in the boarding school Nevermore Academy, placing her extremely out of her comfort zone. Little does Wednesday know that the adventures and sights she’s bound to see in this academy make her the most pivotal person to attend it. Viewers will recognize Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzman and Fred Armisen as other kooky Addams family members. (Netflix)
“The People We Hate at the Wedding” (R) – When two American siblings, Alice and Paul, receive invitations to their half-sister’s (Eloise’s) wedding in London, they are reluctant to attend, mostly due to their great estrangement. Once there, their stark differences from Eloise, in combination with all three siblings’ out-of-touch mother, couldn’t be more uncomfortable. This catapults them into a series of events that establish Alice, Paul and their mother as those family members everyone can’t help but loathe. This comedy film, out now, stars Kristen Bell, Ben Platt and Allison Janney. (Prime Video)
“Alone Together” (R) – Written and directed by – as well as starring – Katie Holmes, this quaint romantic drama takes place in upstate New York during the beginning of the COVID-19 lockdowns. Two strangers, June and Charlie, accidentally end up at the same Airbnb, finding out that it was double booked. But, they make the most out of the coincidental situation and agree to spend the quarantine in the rental together. June and Charlie appear to be much different than each other but quickly begin to bond in ways they couldn’t within their other relationships. Out now, “Alone Together” is the perfect date night, or late night, watch. And fun fact: Holmes’ 16-year-old daughter, Suri Cruise, sings a rendition of “Blue Moon” by Richard Rogers and Lorenz Hart for the film. (Hulu)
