Battle: Los Angeles trailer

By Ryan Fleming November 15, 2010

Ok, expect a lot of anti-LA jokes when discussing this movie. No, they may not be fair, and LA is a lovely town, but come on. It’s almost too easy not to.

Director Jonathan Liebesman (The Killing Room, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning) takes us to the far away and ancient land of Los Angeles, were a whole new type of illegal alien has arrived, and they apparently don’t like humans. In the upcoming sci-fi action flick Battle: Los Angeles, Earth is under attack from an alien horde, and the fighting reaches the streets– or at least it seems to, sometimes hard to tell what is battle damage and what is just LA.

Rather than cutting our losses and giving the aliens Los Angles, then rolling out and laughing at them (suckers), the military fights back on and above the streets of LA. The movie stars Aaron Eckhart, Michelle Rodriguez, Michael Pena and Lucas Till as various members of the military, as well as Bridget Moynahan as a veterinarian.

Check out the trailer below, and expect to hear plenty more on the film $100 million film, which is due out on March 11, 2011.

3 underrated (HBO) Max movies you should watch this weekend (June 28-30)

A girl looks at a boy in House at the End of the Street.

June is surprisingly over, and with it, a great month for movies comes to a satisfactory close. You've probably watched Inside Out 2 or Bad Boys: Ride or Die or maybe even The Bikeriders. From blockbusters to indie fare, the theatrical movie business has been robust and healthy.

The same goes for streaming. Netflix had a big hit with Richard Linklater's Hit Man, while Amazon Prime Video recently premiered the latest bonkers season of The Boys. HBO and Max have been quieter, but their robust library speaks volumes to the streamer's high quality. The following three films are older, but are just as worth your time as new hits like House of the Dragon season 2.

As we head toward the end of June, it's worth reflecting on how we want to spend the rest of summer. For some, that's going to mean enjoying nice weather or getting some time in at the beach. For others, it might mean escaping from the heat, at least for a while, to check out a great movie.

If you fall into that second category, then we've pulled together a list of three great, underrated, titles available on Amazon Prime Video that are all worth checking out. Prime Video is home to some of the best movies available online, but it can be hard to find the ones you want. These three will at least give you a great place to start.

The best Netflix original series right now

Eric and Benedict Cumberbatch in Eric.

The era of Peak TV was also Peak Netflix, because the streamer seemingly had an endless supply of new original series. So far in 2024, that hasn't been the case. Whether we'll ever get the same level of content again seems unlikely for now. But even in a reduced capacity, Netflix still has a few new additions to its lineup of originals.

For the month of June, we're adding the '80s-set thriller, Eric, which stars Benedict Cumbebatch. Our other pick for the month is Supacell, which is Netflix's new British series that remixes some old superhero archetypes. That's not a very big selection for fans who always want something new, but this roundup of the best Netflix original series really does have all of the top options in one place for you. All you have to do is scroll down and make time to binge watch some shows.
