Early buzz on Denzel Washington’s reunion with Training Day director Antoine Fuqua for The Equalizer has been so good that Columbia Pictures already approved a sequel, and the latest television spot for the film offers an indication of why everyone is so high on the film with a hard-hitting preview that also offers up a clip from Eminem’s upcoming single, “Guts Over Fear.”

A big-screen version of the popular ’80s series that cast Edward Woodward as a former special agent who uses his unique set of skills to help people in dire need, the new film puts Washington in the title role as a man who intends to put his bloody past behind him, only to call upon his deadly skills once again when he meets an innocent girl caught up with violent Russian gangsters. In the new preview for the film, we get a peek at what drives Washington’s character, McCall, to come out of retirement and exact vengeance on the gangsters and criminals that terrorize the people around him.

The television spot for The Equalizer also features a short clip from the appropriately titled “Guts Over Fear,” as performed by Eminem and Sia. The song will be officially released August 25, a month before The Equalizer hits theaters.

Along with Washington, The Equalizer stars Marton Csokas, Chloë Grace Moretz, David Harbour, Bill Pullman, and Melissa Leo. The film premieres September 26.

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.

Two men spy from a car in The Limey.

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.
